The Plot A freak storm unleashes a species of bloodthirsty creatures on a small town, where a small band of citizens hole up in a supermarket and fight for their lives. Wow this film is really good. This film looks great on Blu-ray. The acting in this film is very good. The main man in this film was extremely good. He acted well and was great character. He’s character made me care about him. However, throughout the film there are few annoying characters. It’s quite funny how the other characters in the film react to the annoying characters. For example there is a scene when an old lady throws peas at the woman to shut her up. That was so funny. This film is very enjoyable to watch. This film does take a while before anything interesting happens that’s...

The Plot A New York taxi driver stalks a beautiful actress attending the Cannes Film Festival, which coincides with a series of violent killings of the lady's friends. Well this film was interesting, but good interesting. I really enjoyed this film for what I was – the plot concept was very interesting and throughout the film it approached it quite well. This film did have bit of a slow start though. I really liked the score in this film it was very fun and suspenseful at times when it needed to be. The soundtrack made this film so much funnier and fun – really enjoyed the soundtrack it sort of lightened up the mood to the film although it’s a slasher horror film. The acting in this film was very good. The actor who played the really creepy and deranged guy was good. He was for sure extremely creepy and very obs...

It looks stunning. The acting and the soundtrack to this film is really good. This film has lot of kids in it, which usually are annoying but in this film they aren’t.

ZoeMovieReviews: Pete's Dragon

Pete's Dragon This is a 1977 American musical live-action animated film directed by Don Chaffey. The Plot It is about an orphan boy running away from he’s abusive parents and brings he’s magical dragon with him. The grand adventure begins from then on.   This film is very enjoyable it kind of reminds me of Mary Poppins a bit. This film is worth getting on Blu-ray the picture quality is stunning and amazing. This film is a musical so bear in mind for some real cringe songs to listen to. Some of the songs were alright, but as I am older now it’s bit of a cringe to listen to, but if you are into that kind of thing you’ll love it. Some of the scenery in this film looks very realistic. The sky looks so real like! There are very good laughs in this film. Most of the comedy in this is rather childish and slapstick. For example; the abusive parents fall into the mud by the dragon. The theme to this is rat...

ZoeMovieReviews: My Bloody Valentine

My Bloody Valentine This is a 1981 Canadian slasher film directed by George Mihalka and written by John Beaird. The Plot An old man tells a story that happened a decade ago surrounding a deranged murderer killing those who celebrate Valentine's Day.   It turns out to be real when a young teenager group dares the killer's order and people start turning up dead. I really enjoyed this film a lot. This film actually surprised me to be honest, didn’t know what to expect and thought it be one of those typical slasher films, but it isn’t. This film is something different. This is such a very fun film to watch! I loved the fun ‘country music’ and men joking around in the shower at the start.   This made the film open up to be bit more of an interesting and fun horror film to watch. The acting in this film I thought was really good. There are times in the film where it gets intense which I liked, whereas some h...

The Visitor This is a 1979 Italian-American science fiction horror film directed by Giulio Paradisi. The Plot The soul of a young girl with telekinetic powers becomes the prize in a fight between forces of God and the Devil. Well this film was quite good. Not expecting it to be as I haven’t heard anyone talk about this film at all. The first few opening scenes to this film was really good. The acting to this film was great and the score was brilliant. It suited the tone of the film. On a side note this film is really bizarre so don’t get freaked out because of that reason. This film is very interesting and is well directed. There are a few dull moments here and there which is a shame really. They could of cut the running time for this a bit more. The little girl is this film is so evil. I can understand why I enjoyed the ending to this film a lot more (no spoilers) although lot of bi...

Videodrome This is a 1983 Canadian science fiction body horror film written and directed by David Cronenberg, starring James Woods, Sonja Smits, and the singer Deborah Harry. The Plot A sleazy cable-TV programmer begins to see his life and the future of media spin out of control in a very infrequent fashion when he obtains a new kind of programming for his station. Wow.

Although Deborah Harry is a singer she can act well too. The score to this film is great and it suits the tone of the film. This film is very interesting and intriguing to watch and I don’t think there is any other films quite like this at all. I liked some of the gore in the film it wasn’t too over the top just the right amount but not enough to call it a full on horro...
