Dark Shadows
Review of Dark Shadows (DVD) by goldenbat666

Advantages: Good performances, from Depp and Pfeiffer, initial humour
Disadvantages: Lack of strong plot or villain, uninspired ending

For a vampire who was cursed and buried alive in the late 1760s, the year 1972 is understandably a strange and mysterious world. This is the challenge that Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) is faced with. Born to rich parents who own a large fishing business ... Read review

A 50/50 Diagnosis
Review of 50/50 (DVD) by gothic_moon

Advantages: Interesting premise that makes you think, fairly good cast with Gordon-Levitt being great to watch
Disadvantages: Some parts a little weak / under-developed

I came across this on Amazon and saw some good reviews for it, plus I liked the sound of the cast so I gave it a watch. I’m glad I did, because it proved to be quite a moving flick. 50/50 was directed by Jonathan Levine, who has been involved with a coup ... Read review

Sleazy Satanic Sex in Spain
Review of Satan's Blood (DVD) by hogsflesh

Advantages: Fun, silly, even slightly creepy
Disadvantages: A bit too silly

A review of the Redemption DVD, which costs £15 on amazon. It’s ouit of print, and I think Mondo Macabro might be re-releasing this film soon. This is a highly enjoyable mucky horror flick from Spain, made in 1978. Evidently censorship ... Read review

A modern day Grease for everyone, not just Disney-fied for kids
Review of Glee - Series 1 - Complete (DVD) by cha97michelle

Advantages: Excellent singing and dancing, covers music from so many eras it has wide appeal.
Disadvantages: The teen drama is less of a draw for me personally, but I don't mind as long as they are singing.

Glee is something most people would probably dismiss as a teen show and something not for them. I have only recently got into watching it, after having caught the odd episode when it aired on television and realising that although it is a bit cheesy, ther ... Read review

It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)
Review of Melancholia (DVD) by Mildew82

Advantages: Visually stunning, fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition
Disadvantages: Shaky camera technique, possibly bad science, slow pace

Danish director Lars von Trier has certainly made a name for himself in the film industry as a man not afraid to experiment and push boundaries and to never shy away from difficult subjects with his own creative, unflinchingly brutal yet often beautiful s ... Read review

A Boring Evening Of Babysitting
Review of Babysitter Wanted (DVD) by gothic_moon

Advantages: Easy enough to watch without effort or thought
Disadvantages: Bland, not scary, uneventful for the most part as it felt slow, lacked creepy atmosphere

I came across this browsing on Amazon but I didn't expect too much from it. It was easy enough to waste some time to in the evening but not one I'd watch again. Babysitter Wanted introduces us to Angie, a 'normal' all-round college girl from a small tow ... Read review

A review of just the film. Vipco released a (cut) DVD this, but it’s currently out of print (although only about £8 to buy). I can’t actually locate an import copy at present. I saw a really old pre-cert VHS copy. This is not to be confused with the ... Read review

Review of Battleship (DVD) by yazoo88

Advantages: Amazing effects, good battle scenes
Disadvantages: Poor acting, predictable, cheesy

I saw the trailer for the film and dismissed it almost immediately as something I wouldn’t see. To be honest thinking back there was only really one reason for this – Rihanna. Other than that it looked like my kind of film and something I would enjoy, but ... Read review
