Advantages: Great horror films
Disadvantages: not for faint hearted

The Omen Pentology is by far the scariest set of films i have seen in a long time. i would highly recomend this pentology to anyone who loves horror films. each seperate DVD provides a whole new thrill. i would ensure that no one under 18 should watch some of these dvd's as their is a large amount of gore which is not suitable for young children. the omen films provide a large thrill for an entire family should it be a party or a horror night. either ...

Advantages: Hardcore Horror
Disadvantages: Sickening Scenes

Saw 3 is the last of a trilogy about a man called Jigsaw. He is a sick psychopath who thinks up new ways to completely destroy the unfortunate individuals who he makes his victims. The story is hard to follow if you haven't watched the previous films and in my opinion is better than Saw 2 but still not up to the standard of the original Saw. Story: The evil puppet-master Jigsaw a.k.a. John Kramer is at work again. But there's a twist. He is dying ...
...his evil games that we saw in Saw 1. She has completely transformed and now has even more of a sick mind than Jigsaw himself. Jigsaw tests her but she fails. The games she plays are unwinnable, her "subjects merely victims". Jigsaw claims that he is not a murderer and goes as far to say that he despises them. He says that he doesn't kill his victims, he just helps them to appreciate their life. Amanda kidnaps a doctor who must keep him alive to ... Read review

Advantages: The first hour or so isn't too bad
Disadvantages: It turns out to be lacking in the second half

Stephen King books don't often translate terribly well to film. I suspect that part of the reason behind this is because he writes at such length and with so much imagination that creating accurate pictures from words alone isn't always easy. Some of his longest work is mauled so badly by the time it reaches the screen that it loses a lot of the magic. The books of his that translate best are often his shorter ones, with "The Shawshank Redemption" ...
...his shorter ones, nor one of his better ones, which made the film a lot less likely to be any good. I didn't bother seeing "Dreamcatcher" at the cinema, as I was sure in advance that it wouldn't be worth it. When the DVD came out, however, it contained a promise of something decent. One of the extras was listed as "Dream Writer - An Interview With Stephen King". For a fan of the author, this made it worth a look. Four friends gather at a log cabin ... Read review

Advantages: scary
Disadvantages: none

The movie The Omen is a classic and continues to be one of the best and scariest horror movies I had ever watched. There was a remake of the movie even recently with Juliya Styles but that cannot compare to the older more chilling version. Usually, in this day and age horror movie lovers are exposed to so much horror movies that the older horror movies that once scared many people don't do much in terms of scaring people now; however, once you watch ...
...of a kind actually. The movie is still being talked about; so don't be surprised when you find yourself hiding your face and shrieking in terror at several points in the movie. PLOT: It is about a couple who's adopted son turns out to be the antichrist. DVD FEATURES: Director: Richard Donner Cinema: 1976 DVD: 30 October 2006 Introduction by director Richard Donner One deleted scene Audio commentary by director Richard Donner and writer/director ...

Advantages: Christopher Walken is a scary scary man
Disadvantages: WOT No special features!!

The Prophecy is Christopher Walken relatively unknown series of films. And short may this continue. I bumped into the first Prophecy film on a quiet Thursday night about 3 years ago and from the opening sequence you can tell the atmosphere of the film is of serious oppression and it is almost as if the weight of God looms large over this whole picture. But that may sound overly melodramatic at this stage. STORY The story briefly is that the Angel ...
