An eerie, creepy collection of horror's!

Advantages: Great eerie, creepy films, Good actors, Eerie music
Disadvantages: No special effects, Simple storlines

...***HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR*** I remember watching some of this series on the television when I was quite young and there was something eerie and creepy which made me enjoy watching this series every week. The series was shown on ITV, which ran for 13 weeks, each showing a different episode and story each week. Each programme was an hour long. Some of the actors who feature in these films are Peter Cushing, Denholm Eliot, Diana Dors, Brian Cox, Sian Philips and Pierce Brosnan. Horror fans will enjoy this series which includes Werewolves, Demons, Witches and Voodoo Dolls. These alternative bedtime stories sparked millions on sleepless nights when they were originally screened and they still remain as scary as ever. ***THE BOX SET*** The Hammer House of Box Set is available from Amazon and HMV for about £11.99 which includes all 13...

The Amityville Horror

Advantages: Enjoyable Scary
Disadvantages: True Story - How awful

...I am reviewing the movie The Amityville Horror I watched this movie last night on television and I have to admit I was a little creeped out. And apparently it is a true story. So I had the hebbi geebies throughout. The Story A family decide to buy a house in the country, which is a great bargain, only to find out after that the previous family had been murdered in the house. That's the reason for the cheap sale. They decided to keep the house as it's only a house, Houses don't murder people, people murder People. All goes ok in the house until the husband starts acting weird and the daughter is seeing things. What now follows is 28 days of sheer terror for the family. The Cast: Ryan Reynolds plays George, the new man of the house after he married a widow with three children. The children are only getting used to him...

Review of The Rocky Horror Picture Show / Shock Treatment (Lip Box) (DVD)

Not Much of a Horror

Advantages: Some warm central perfomances
Disadvantages: An overwhelming lack of imagination or real scares

...On 14th November 1975, Ronald DeFeo brutally murdered his entire family, claiming voices in the house drove him to it. A year later newlyweds George and Kathy Lutz move in with her three children. Shortly after George's mind begins to unravel as the house takes hold of him. The random remake roundabout spins into action once more and spits out this bloody lump of recycled 70s schlock horror. Unsurprisingly it comes from Michael Bay's horror remake conveyor belt. This version of the 70s schlocker is unlikely to cause many grumbles from purists - the original was hardly a classic and this version is solid enough. Director Andrew Douglas sticks to the Bay template; so we get photogenic leads in peril with plenty of cheap shocks, nosebleed editing and visual gimmickry. Sadly this makes for a very predictable film that lacks suspense...

FIFA 2002

Advantages: Better gameplay, good graphics, nice way of unlocking parts, new features
Disadvantages: Still not perfect graphics, not perfect gameplay

...If the PFA decided that the footballers are going to strike, then grab yourself a copy of FIFA 2002 and settle down to some virtual action…. The FIFA series for producing football simulation games for the PC has been going since 1995 with their first release, and has kept going ever since with a new version released each year, usually just in time for the Christmas market. Produced by EA sports, (electronic arts), it is consistently one of the best, with rivals like ISS and Actua Soccer coming in behind. Though they may be criticized for each game being a little too similar, like they claim, they are the kings in this game. Will their latest offering be any different? Ok, so where do you want to begin? Basically the whole idea of the FIFA series is a football based game that you take control of a team, and try to win as much...

KYLIEFEVER 2002

Advantages: features the best person in the world, kylie
Disadvantages: none at all

...As all of you who read my op on the great KM herself know, this is my favourite person. And that I went to see her in concert, on the 8th May 2002, on her KYLIEFEVER tour. Well, let me tell you, this was the best concert that I have ever seen or been to. It really blew my mind, the athmosphere from her many many many adoring fans and the amazing special effects added to it but the real reason I enjoyed it so much is because Kylie was there, of course. As it was so good, I couldnt wait for the DVD to be released. I already had the Live In Sydney DVD, and so badly wanted the Fever one, too. So much so, I pre-ordered it on the internet. It did not turn up for ages, so I rang my local HMV store to see if it was in stock and hurried on down....... (I am now the proud owner of two copies of this DVD...) ---HOW MUCH WAS THE DVD...

Review of Kylie Minogue - Kylie Fever 2002 - Live In Manchester (DVD)

The real 'horror' in this film is the acting

Advantages: intriguing story, had (unfulfilled) potential
Disadvantages: embarassingly cheesy risible acting all round, cheapo production

...Starring: Peter Graves as Jeffrey Knight Tim Donnelly as Richard Knight Paulette Breen as Lena Dick Sargent as Dr. Jameson Keenan Wynn as Jake Noble Also known under alternate names 'Clonus' and 'The Clonus Horror', this 1978 release is a really creepy film, in more ways than that in which it was intended. It's a surprisingly poorly made, terribly acted, cheapo looking tale of a secret scientific institute with some very questionable practices. Peter Graves, in a role completely different from anything I've seen him in before, and hope to never see him in anything like again, plays ruthless presidential candidate Jeffrey Knight who will stop at nothing to win. The film starts with Knight giving an impassioned pep talk to his supporters at a big rally. Next we jump to a scene of young fit guys and gals jogging a countryside trail...

Flight Simulator 2002

Advantages: Amazingly realistic, packed with features
Disadvantages: Slow loading, can be jittery during gameplay

...the Boeing 767. New aircraft can be downloaded from a number of different sites on the internet, simply by searching for "Flight Simulator 2002 aircraft" or something similar. Almost every worldwide airport and airfield is included in this game. Even the smallest of airfields, such as Cranfield are included, and you can even land/takeoff on runways on large ships. The Air Traffic Control (ATC) feature is fantastic - you choose a voice for "you", and you can communicate with ATC at the touch of a button, and hear the human voice reply. Before taking off, you can download real-time weather from around the world, making your flying experience even more realistic. The download takes just a second, and really makes a novel difference. You'll need a fast PC to run the game, as the graphics are VERY detailed and VERY advanced, as is the immense...

The Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror

Advantages: All simpsons episodes are good, I suppose.
Disadvantages: Not very scary.

...The Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror is a compilation of four halloween specials of The Simpsons. Those four episodes are "Treehouse of Horror V", "Treehouse of horror VI", "Treehouse of Horror VII" and "Treehouse of Horror XII". Each Treehouse of Horror episode contains three episodes. Personally, I find most of the halloween specials of The Simpsons quite boring and not very scary. Some can be quite good, though. Treehouse of Horror V This episode is one of the best halloween specials, in my opinion. It is really funny at points. In all three stories, Groundskeeper Willie is killed while trying to help the Simpsons out of tricky situations. In the second story, Homer goes time travelling which seemed to me to be too science fictiony. Treehouse of Horror VI In this episode I found that all the episodes were not scary...
