Advantages: More accessible than the Japanese original
Disadvantages: Can't avoid the "Hollywood-isation" completely

...Keller decides to get to the bottom of this mystery. Once she herself has seen the tape, she becomes convinced she is going to die. Calling on the aid of her ex they both set to work peeling away the layers of a very disturbing story. What they find at the bottom is not pleasant. I was fortunate enough to see the original 'Ring' or rather 'Ringu' (Hideo Nakata 1998) before the US remake was announced and it stuck in my mind like a splinter. From ...
...by the artful and most notably restrained hand of the craftsmen who put it together. It was subtle and effective and left you feeling washed out, rattled and distressed; everything a great chiller should. I therefore had a mixed reaction when I found out that Hollywood had seen it too and wanted to make it accessible to a wider audience (read "American horror junkies with bottomless wallets and many friends"). I saw the sequel to the original and ... Read review

Advantages: Outstanding CG work
Disadvantages: Basic plot, not really a horror.

Whilst many people may slate this horror movie of 2000, I personally enjoyed it- the lack of an unpredictable storyline may have marred it, but the computer graphics are breath-taking…and so, on with the review! DIRECTOR: Paul Verhoeven (‘Basic Instinct’, ‘Robocop’) SCREEN PLAY/WRITING CREDITS: Gary Scott Thompson (‘The Fast and the Furious’, ‘2 Fast 2 Furious’) Andrew W. Marlowe (‘End ...

Advantages: casting
Disadvantages: none

...seen, however still very memorable. The plot consists of a journalist investigating a videotape with very disturbing images that may have killed four teenagers, now even through the cheesy plot of a killer video tape, it really drawed me in. The reason she begins to investigate, is one the teenagers that was killed was her niece, after hearing about the urban legend about this killer video tape that after 7 days of watching it you will die. Rachel ...
...the legend is true, she only has seven days to reverse the evil that is now after her, and after her son after he watches the tape. The plot was very different to other horror films, and normally I don’t enjoy horrors as I believe most of them have the same plot over and over again. The director called Gore Verbinski has directed great other films like pirates of the Caribbean 2, the weather man and the Mexican. All other great films of mine, this ... Read review

Advantages: Gives a twist to zombie genre
Disadvantages: Not enough gone into it

OZONE = ~Introduction~ **************** Ozone will change the world, literally. ~The Movie~ *************** Detectives Eddie Boone and Mike Weitz are on a stake out when they spot The Crime bosses top henchman and Mike trails him but disappears in the process. Eddie sets out to find his partner but ends up being injected with a mysterious black drug. This new drug has strange effects on Eddie and he is soon in the thick of a huge conspiracy ...
...the 'Brothers'. The Brotherhood of Ozone is a new and potentially world changing sect and Eddie finds himself at its heart. ~Opinions~ ************* I normally avoid zombie movies like the plague, no pun intended, except 'Shaun of the Dead' of course. However this one has a cracking Sci-Fi twist that puts a new spin on the whole genre. The special effects are not that special and the zombie make up is poor. There is next to no background of ...

Advantages: Vincent Price acting, story
Disadvantages: Most of the other actors

...onto why she is in shock and doesn't know what to do. He doesn't want anybody to find out the truth, his mistress wants rid of the girl and the girl's husband keeps on insisting on another doctor's opinion. Made in 1946 this film was directed by Alfred Werker who made a fair amount of films including The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Laurel and Hardy's A Haunting We Will Go. It was an alright film with a fairly engaging story, which was driven ...
...After committing a murder he didn't want to commit he is torn between different options. In one ear his conscience is wanting him to hand himself in whilst in the other Lynn Bari wants to keep their affair secret and will do anything to maintain it. He really is fantastic in this film as is Lynn Bari, however, the rest of the cast aren't so good. The shocked girl's husband Lt. Stewart wears the same uniform throughout the film, which is maybe what ... Read review
