Freddy vs. Jason (2003)
Pathetic spooky knives boy VS ULTIMATE KILLING JUGGERNAUT FROM HELL!!!
Possible spoilers ahead.
Better than expected. However, we all know that Freddy farts around too much with his one liners whereas Jason is straight to the point. KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL! I would have liked to have seen him slap some more girls in sleeping bags against a tree but alas that can't happen in every movie Mr Voorhees is in. Kane Hodder was crap as Jason, I'm glad they got rid of him in this one. Freddy, in reality (literally) you just can't stand a chance.
Dreamcatcher (2003)
One of the worst films ever made.
Spoiler ahead regarding Morgan Freeman's eyebrows.
Morgan Freeman's eyebrows were enough to make me turn my head and put myself to sleep in the middle of a busy cinema in misery thinking I wasted money seeing this rancid turd of a film. Absolute tripe. Stephen King, you suck. Give up.
Kadaicha (1988)
Certainly a different, or even silly look at Aboriginal culture.
I saw this film once late at night when it was played on television. It really isn't at all good, and I don't recommend it, but for me it was one of those films with a really strange feel about it. I can't remember too much of the film because I saw it so long ago but it had a strange feel about it which I enjoyed.
All I can remember of the plot is that if you find this Aboriginal stone on your pillow when you wake up, you are cursed and will die. Now, I think the reason for this is that these people live in an area over sacred Aboriginal ground, and the Aborigines have cursed the people who live there. Totally absurd I know, but there are a few gruesome deaths, one nasty one with a spider.
If you can find it, have a look, but its not that great. A silly look at Aboriginality, because I don't think Aborigines would be that way inclined.
Cutting Class (1989)
Brad Pitt's performance is a far cry from his recent effort in "Fight Club".
Well, I'll give him credit, I know that Brad Pitt was so excellent in Seven, Interview with the Vampire and more recently Fight Club, but everyone has to start out in a low budget cheesy horror flick. It's just a shame that he was in this one, with the now singer of Nancy Boy, Donovan Leitch. And what about Jill! Jill Schoelen, now there's a name I haven't seen pop up in a while. I guess its the "I've been in too many horror films and not enough 'decent' films" syndrome that has caused her demise.
Cutting Class is yet another I-get-picked-on-too-much-at-school-so-now-I-will-put-an-axe-in-your-head movie. Brad Pitt plays the jock, Donovan Leitch plays the mental case, and poor Jill, like in many of her movies, gets stuck in the middle of it all. To say something half decent about the film, its better than Slaughter High, but that's not much of an achievement. But in all honesty, its not really THAT bad. There are plenty of worse films out there like House 2 or Silent Night Deadly Night 2. I recommend this film for a laugh and to see what Brad Pitt really was like before he started putting on Irish accents for films like the Devil's Own.
Bad Taste (1987)
If only talent like Peter Jackson's was more widespread
For those of you who have yet to see New Zealand director Peter Jackson's directorial debut Bad Taste, and strange, low budget and interesting films interest you, go find it right now.
The story involves a small New Zealand town being taken over by these blue-shirt aliens who arrive in a well disguised spaceship. They slaughter the town and are about to leave "this s****y planet", when "THE BOYS" are called in to take care of them, where upon we have a darkly funny film.
The acting may be shocking, but lest we forget that the film's crew were also the actors. They also pop up again as some of the aliens. There are some great lines; "The magic's still there", "I'm born again!" to name a few, but the talent lies within Peter Jackson, this being why he has now broken into the international film industry with his direction. I hope to see more of his work.
976-EVIL (1988)
Wasn't too bad, but wasn't too good.
There is quite a fan base for Stephen Geoffreys, the then young star of 976-EVIL. The fact that he has avoided films for the past 6 or 7 years is a disappointment.
976-EVIL is not as bad as some people think. I found it in a video store the other day and upon watching it, there are far worse horror flicks out there. Robert Englund does a reasonable job in directing this film, and the cast approach their characters in the typical way horror film characters are approached. The acting isn't great, the plot could use touch-ups, other than that it's not too bad.
Stephen Geoffreys plays Hoax, the typical high school loner who gets picked on. His cousin Spike is 'cool'. When Hoax finds a piece of paper which has the "Horror"scope number 976 EVIL on it, he calls it up and is transformed into a revenge seeking demon.
It surely isn't worthy of making a sequel to it, however it did spawn a sequel, which I haven't had a chance to see yet, however I understand that Spike returns in the second movie.
