Mandy

Mandy was Hot ,very Hot ...Ouch !

(Edit) 02/10/2019

Pretty Good Revenge Movie but Hampered by its Desperately Slow Unfolding and Psychedelic Druggy Fog.

Gruesome but soo badly lit you cant actually see how Grim it really is .

Entertaining ,Dark and Twisted. if you can bare to sit watching it through a state like fighting your way through Marshmallow .

Slightly Irritating ,but worth the struggle if you can bare it .

47 Meters Down

Dont get bullied into do anything you dont fancy...Ever!

(Edit) 26/09/2019

Pretty Enjoyable and Claustrophobic Underwater Adventure .

Basically ,Slightly Annoying Girl gets Bullied into Diving in a Shark Cage by Even More Annoying Girl.

Things Go Bad ,Sharks Appear ,People Die.

Basic Story but it is entertaining enough to keep you watching .

Will they ,wont they get eaten ? Survive ? Reach the surface ? etc...

Worth Watching .Better than Expected ,But it really isn't Jaws.

You don't really care who lives or dies and the Sharks are just Swim By Fish ,not Characters in the story.

Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead

Wyrmwood ,End Of days

(Edit) 24/09/2019

Pretty Low Budget ,but rather Good Fun Zombie Outing. A bit like all of 'Z Nation' condensed down to one episode .

ie; Some Comedy, Some Corrupt Government/Army types, Some Zombie Mind Control, Some Half Human /Zombie Hybrid ,and a bit Mad Max in styling .

Watchable and entertaining ,but not the best Low Budget Zombie movie around. But seen Much Worse .

Alita: Battle Angel

Comic Book Sci-fi

(Edit) 24/09/2019

Far Too Cute ,Child/Family Friendly ,Dismantled Android discovered in Trash appears to be Hundreds of years old High Technology Killer .

How did it get in the Trash if it is so Valuable and Advanced ? Never explained.

Fun but Silly Movie. Humans falling in Love with Robots . Everyone on Earth seems to be some kind of Amputee .

The Rich Stealing Organs and Limbs for their own Upkeep it seems . leaving the Poor with incredibly expensive and sophisticated pieces of hardware replacing lost limbs . Highly Unlikely .

Story was originally Manga Cartoon./Comic. story pretty childish .

Escape Room

Escape? Why even Attend :O

(Edit) 19/09/2019

Exciting Movie. but also inhabited by Idiots so you don't really care when they get their ends.

More like a SAW movie than an Escape Room tbh. Grizzly,Frenetic and Survival of the Fittest is the name of the game.

Picture the 'Hostel' group going into the 'Escape Room' franchise and you will get the idea .

Us

Us and Them

(Edit) 19/09/2019

Interesting Idea, Pretty Good Story but the Characters ,especially the Father and the Neighbours ,are just Useless Idiots that actually deserve what they are being dealt out.

To me the Movie could have ended a good half hour earlier and still made sense, it seemed to keep going when it didn't really need to.and actually became pretty boring by the finish . couldn't actually wait for it to end because the characters were getting on my nerves . it kept hitting what you thought was the end and then went on further ...got a bit tedious.

A Good Movie, but could have done with a lot more editing ,and some character depth.

Mortal Engines

Mortally Obvious

(Edit) 01/05/2019

I found it incredibly Obvious and slightly Irritating .

Just Steampunk Heavy Style without a Strong enough Story.

Who Cares who wins,you don't really know anything about Anyone enough to care for them because it is all Visual Heavy and Character Light .?

Too Much CGI for my liking.Personally I can Abide Animation,it is Flat,Cold and Dead ,I loose interest quickly with it .

If you have ever seen 'Monty Pythons Meaning Of Life' it begins with a Fake Film Short ; 'The Scarlet Permanent Assurance ' about an Investment Bank that becomes a Pirate Ship....This is Just THAT small Python sketch ,totally Ripped Off and Made into a Full Movie .

I couldn't wait for it to finish .

The Possession of Hannah Grace

Hanna show some Grace dear ...

(Edit) 02/05/2019

Not a Bad Horror considering it is just a Rip Off of the earlier 'Autopsy of Jane Doe' only this time instead of a Witch she is Possessed .

Not bad effects and acting Though a bit slow to get going .and a slightly irritating back story to Troubled characters getting over Addiction and PTSD etc... Just to make sure NOBODY believes them when they start to see things are happening that shouldn't be .

Certainly Watchable .one of the better Possession Movies of recent times.

The Exorcism of Karen Walker

Cant even be bothered to remember what it was called it was soo bad .....

(Edit) 25/04/2019

Good Grief , How Low Budget and Pointless does something need to be before they just don't release it on DVD ...well this one is about there .

It was Soo Obvious what every character was going to do next you didn't need to watch it.

Everyone in the story was a stupid version of the most stupid people that do the stupidest things in Horror Movies .

If someone has told you Don't Do That ,you know it is the very next thing they are about to do .in Every single case.

Just DON'T WATCH IT.

Possum

Pissom off

(Edit) 25/04/2019

Low Budget like some early David Lynch Experimental Movie.

Creepy and Arty . But more like a piece of Performance Art/Experimental Art Film than Horror .

Disappointing by the end of it .as it felt like it was building to something better.

Passes as a BBC Style Christmas Ghost story Short Film. in a similar way that 'Whistle and I will come to you ' is creepy .

I couldn't bare to sit through it more than the once .it is just soo slow moving .

But an Interesting Oddity . Just don't expect Quality.

Closer to 'Eraserhead' than 'Alien' if a comparison helps .

A Quiet Place

SHhhhhhhhhh!

(Edit) 18/04/2019

For a film with little or No Talking it easily kept your interest in the characters and their predicament.

The story unravels slowly but you learn that the World is now home to a New Alien Predator that is Deaf and Hunts via Sound only.and over the last almost 2 years people have learnt to Stay Quiet or Die .

Living their every day lives in Silence using only Sign Language to talk . Mum is pregnant and the oncoming Birth is a frightening and tense time in a World where the sound of a Baby Crying will get Everyone Killed .

Well wort a watch or two ...... Interesting though basic Monster Story gets a strange and clever Twist from its almost silent Soundtrack.

Upgrade

Upgrade to Great

(Edit) 18/04/2019

Very interesting and entertaining action sci-fi movie.

Clever and well made and rather unusual .

Kept you interested in the character and you really didn't have to wait too long for the story to begin unfolding so no getting bored which is always a boon.

You cold see the end twist coming a mile off but putting that aside it was still a gripping piece of story telling with good effects and some stellar acting in an otherwise low budget production.

Certainly didn't look Cheap, as some low budget Sci-fi can do .

Worth watching more than the once in my opinion.

The Gatehouse

Gateways supermarket ?

(Edit) 17/02/2019

This Movie is Soo Low Budget I thought maybe I had made it myself by absentmindedly leaving my camera on one day.

Daft story, Slappable Child,Bad Acting,what can I say . Watch it if you dare .

Ocean's 8

Oceans Best

(Edit) 17/02/2019

I love a Great Crime Caper Movie ,I loved the earlier Oceans Movies,I loved also the slick TV show Hustle, I equally love Women Criminals and have Always Enjoyed Women's Prison Shows like Prisoner,Cell Block H, Wentworth Prison, Widows and Orange is the New Black .so THIS movie is perfectly made for me .

It really doesn't disappoint, Slick, Clever, Caper-tastic ,Fun and a Great Cast .

The only bit I would wrinkle my nose at is the subtle sexism involved here .Unlike the earlier Oceans Movies hitting Underworld Run Casinos and Gangsters Bank Vaults etc... Its Women ,so they steal Pretty Jewelry from a Fashion Event .

But as far as you can see through that Obvious Misogynistic Female Trope it is a Fabulous piece of Entertainment .

I wil certainly be Buying a copy to watch again and again. along with my other Oceans Capers .

Cannibal

Cannibal ? I nearly ate my own leg out of Boredom

(Edit) 22/02/2019

Ok, to be fair, It isn't a BAD Movie, and I actually Liked it ,BUT it was sooooo slow moving it almost put me to sleep ,

Much of the movie just has you 'Knowing' he is eating people you just don't see anything but a man going to work, talking to some people and sitting eating a meal....Always the same meal and it is always a piece of cooked meat on a plate with no accompanying veg .

Nothing very exciting happening , some people go missing , he still goes to work, and later sits eating ... not a lot else happens really.

Basic, Simple, Dark but absolutely No Excitement ,Entertainment or much Story.
