Don't Hang Up

Dont...Just Dont Hang the F@@@ Up!

(Edit) 19/10/2017

Twisted Horror ,Revenge and Mental/Physical Torture kind . Thankfully NOT a Baby Sitter which is usual for these Phone Based Horror stories usually , and all so often very obviously. slightly more interesting than the usual but still pretty basic Psycho Slasher type movie. enjoyable none the less. even with an End Twist you could see coming a mile off.

Bad Boy Bubby

Bad Boy Bubby, no more Cling Wrapping Pop !

(Edit) 19/10/2017

Twisted Modern Reimagining of ' The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser' where a man ,raised in confinement suddenly experiences the Outside World. Only Bubby's World both Confined and Free is littered with Abuse ,Trash and Filth. Poor 30+ yo Bubby grows up and finds a Pop career and Love eventually...but not before encountering many nasty hazards along the way . Cult Classic and True Oddball Movie,

Southbound

Entertainment Bound.

(Edit) 16/10/2017

Got this after seeing a brief trailer for it at the end of another movie ,it looked interestingly like a cross between 'Reeker' and 'Jeepers Creepers' .so I was very Happy to find it was infact an Anthology Movie with 5 different tales ,Very Dark,Twisted and Unusual.

Each story loosely linked into one another by them all traveling Southbound, possibly along the same road, not sure . but some certainly seem to cross tracks. A Road Movie of sorts. and very definately in a sort of Twilight Zone all of its own. Well worth a watch , especially if like me you love an anthology. But Good none the less whatever your tastes in Horror. Recommended

The Void

Filling the VOID.

(Edit) 15/10/2017

I had not heard about this movie before seeing it, just seemed a bit HP Lovecraft from what I could make out. I wasn't disappointed in any way, Like the Bastard son of 80's Cult Classics HELLRAISER and From Beyond,and Verging almost on The KEEP by the end , it is Grizzly,Demonic and Dark with Great Old Style GORE DRIPPING special effects ,Body Morphing and Brain Bursting in Actuality and thankfully NO Rubbish CGI. Best Newly made 80's Classic Style Horror i've seen in a Long time. Nice to see a movie that doesn't rely entirely on Computer Wizardry for a change.

Galaxy of Horrors

Galaxy of Terrors ???

(Edit) 10/10/2017

I LOVE this kind of Anthology Movie, with several different stories in... you always get a really mixed bag.

Sadly THIS is not a Good version of the genre . Its Low Budget ,which isn't necessarily bad when it comes to Horror ...But Really counts when it comes to Sci-fi. and sadly this being a Sci-fi anthology it really Sucks being Cheap. Stories are all over the place .the main one holding them together doesn't even make any sense . Give it a go maybe as its not Totally Crap, but DONT make it the Only movie you have for the evening as you will feel terribly short changed and still in need of entertainment once its over. I was actually almost sent to sleep during one story that kind of went nowhere .I couldnt wait for it to finish and usually this sort of movie keeps you wanting More ....

Tales of Halloween

Tales of Halloween Fun !

(Edit) 11/10/2017

I really loved this movie, my favorite cinema genre is the Anthology movie and this one is a Fun one. a really mixed bag of stories with all sorts of twists and turns. and when they are all pretty good like this you get your moneys worth and more. It wont ever be a GREAT Movie but certainly its an Entertaining one. Great for Halloween Night eating the Trick or Treat Candy and putting your feet up .

The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Not your Average Autopsy Movie .

(Edit) 05/10/2017

Given that we start with Mass killings and an Autopsy of an Unknown girl it is pretty sure to expect he movie to follow convention and try to find the Murderer or Serial Killer before they strike again....Well this is no Ordinary Autopsy Movie....

I Loved the way the Story went in a Very different direction than was expected and is usual when you start a story this way.

Truly creepy moments. Confusing and twisted, its not what you expected at all ..

..Sadly the Ending isnt its Strong point but ive seen far worse .

Certainly Watchable . Good to give you the creeps if you are alone .

The Boy

Creepy Doll ,Creepy Doll !!!

(Edit) 05/10/2017

If Creepy Doll stories are your thing ,you wont go wrong here , A far better movie than Annabelle by a long way.

A tale with a twist and i have to say I did see the twist coming right from the beginning but it didnt spoil a really very creepy movie.

Twisted from the start , I found very little sympathy for the Girl in the film who took on a paying Job and then didnt even attempt to do said job. so whatever she suffered she kind of asked for initially ..... However ,who could expect just how far it would lead .

Not to self , if you take a job ....keep to the rules or get out fast .

ABCs of Death 2

ABC , its easy as 123, but not as good as i hoped.

(Edit) 22/09/2017

ABC of Death ,the First movie was Brilliant ,a great mix of styles and Directors taking it to a place they work best in... ABC part 2 felt Rushed and second rate .... All the segments were incredibly short ,much shorter than in Part 1 , less interesting and really scraping the barrel for ideas to use . it seemed they had little imagination or used a very short dictionary to find the words to accompany the Alphabet Killings....There is a suggestion of ABC part 3 on its way ...but after this effort is it worth it ? ....NO, I very much doubt it.

Entertaining ....ish. but got rather Boring along the way to be honest ,hoping to see something inspired as before ,but it never appeared.

If you are going to watch it , make it a double feature with something Good, to make the evening feel less like you wasted it .

it makes B Movie grade but you would be really pissed if it was the Main feature you had just paid Cinema prices to see !

Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol.2

Guardians back Story

(Edit) 22/09/2017

Enjoyable ,fills in the back story of the main characters nicely but I didnt find it as entertaining as the First .

This film follows straight on from the end of the last movie , Groot is still a small sapling as was seen at the very end of the first movie so he doesn't do a great deal in this but looks cute whilst not doing it .

Family and Friendships become better explained and the Guardians Gang grows larger whilst at the same time loosing members along the way. an all familiar 70's Rock soundtrack helps along all the action and the odd Comedy moment as before .

Great movie for all the family . Sci-fi Addicts ,Comic Book Nerds or Adventure Fans,all catered for here .

Lights Out

Scary when the lights go out

(Edit) 22/09/2017

I found this a Good scary movie.... In the same kind of vein as Insidious , a Scary Other entity is lurking when the lights go out. Scratchy fingers and Moving Shadows raises the goose pimples ,especially when you watch it alone in the dark with a Dog that barks at everything .and a Cat that stares at the doorway as if someone were there !!!

Yes its Creepy, Cant say the characters were not annoying ,but Most are these days ,especially in Horror movies , they do all the stupidest things you just feel they deserve to die after doing that . well pretty much the same here . people never Do what they should or tell the right people what is wrong etc.... but then maybe if they did Horror movies just wouldn't exist .

Well worth a watch if ' Insidious' or 'The Conjuring' were your fave Horror movies of recent times.

Into the Woods

INTO THE WOODS ....WITH A SHOVEL TO DO A BIG OLD PLOP !

(Edit) 08/09/2017

I Couldn't even watch this to the end, im afraid to say it was Painful Viewing ,and I am still suffering the Tummy Ache and Loose Stools a day later .

I Love a bit of Fantasy, and dont mind a Musical now and again...THIS MONSTROSITY not only had the WORST Music / Songs but the Casting was Hideous, had i realised the Ghastly James Corden was in almost Every Scene I would NEVER have allowed it into my Home !!!

..not to mention the deeply untalented Tracey Ullman and the Horrific Over Acting Johnny Depp.

Ive sadly Nothing Kind to say about this movie. its left me feeling Very unwell. Deeply agitated and Diabetic in the worst way imaginable .

Mad Max: Fury Road

MAD to Call it a Max Movie !

(Edit) 08/09/2017

This is hardly a Mad Max Movie at all...its should have been called 'Furiosa'...It's Waaay More Charlize Theron's Movie than Tom Hardy's . It would have been Passable as a movie called 'Furiosa' after her character ,certainly not Mad Max who barely existed.

To be honest,much as i adore Tom Hardy,he hardly did anything, never mind barely said anything.

She held the entire Movie together ,what little there was of a story line, and the Action was pretty average and what was expected .

I watch most movies i see many many times ,and usually enjoy them better the more i see them ,seeing different things each time but THIS ...I wont be watching a second time, Life just isnt long enough to waste that many hours staring at paint drying.

The Martian

A Mars a day helps you Work ,Rest and Escape the Planets Gravity !

(Edit) 08/09/2017

Much Better Movie than I was expecting, Entertaining, Surprising and rather Touching .

Lots of Action ,Plenty to Root for and a ' Will he ,Wont he' ending that keeps you gripped.

I liked it very much after thinking it might just bore me to sleep ,which it certainly did not . Thumbs Up !

The Huntsman: Winter's War

Entertaining but Slow to get going.

(Edit) 08/09/2017

Ok, we know the Main story of Snow White and the Wicked Step Mother/Witch bla bla bla....well ,that is a far Better story than you have here .

This one takes FOREVER to make any sense. a Good but Deeply Upset/Hurt Woman becomes Bitter and Twisted and Cold Hearted. yeh yeh ....yawn , whatever .....Nothing really much happens untill Charlize Theron and her slightly more interesting Wicked Ways ad Fabulous frocks turns up again ,pretty much in the Last Quater of the movie sadly.....so you've a Long Wait for anything interesting to arrive. Till then its pretty Dull .Sad ,Cold Hearted Snow Queen moaning a lot about other people falling in love Boo Hoo ....she has Outlawed Love by the way ..... yeh ,whatever . when has that ever stopped Horny Young People getting together ?...Seriously ?

Entertaining enough for a Very Dull Sunday afternoon. ....just.
