Scream (1996)
Horror will never be the same again...
22 October 2011
The opening ten minuets of this film sum up a new age of slasher film in a brutal and chilling way. Scream isn't Halloween or Friday the 13th but something new and refreshing to the horror/slasher genre. The opening scene consists of the standard horror movie set up but before you feel comfortable enough to condemn the film from the start the brilliance of this movie comes into play. The Voice - Roger Jackson.

The voice is so significant, so unique that it attracts you in a way in which you feel that your being spoken to directly. Another underlining aspect of this film isn't the killer but what the killer is wearing. The Ghostface costume/mask is so significant that when seen it is instantly recognisable. The eeriness of the costume adds to the effect of the film because it allows the audience to try and play a guessing game of who it can be. A guessing game which goes on till the final few scenes.

A chilling film which ensures that horror movies will never be the same again.

It's a scream, baby.

Apollo 18 (2011)
1/10
Worst movie I've seen in a long time...
22 October 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Apollo 18 showed promise of a new age of found footage type film. Like the Paranormal Activity series which captured paranormal events on a video camera, Apollo 18 offered us a look at ''why we've never gone back to the moon.'' If the reasons are bad acting and literally no sign of a story line then I can see why.

This movie's plot - or lack of - show three generic American stereotypes who literally end up in Space, with generic American one and two going on the moon while three orbits around. After a slow build up things look as if they will pick up.

To be blunt they don't.

Footage of rocks moving in the background and footprints which are never explained this movie offers very little of anything to appease any sort of fan. It is like someone just put bits of unwanted bits of other films together and threw it in because this film has no basic plot at all.

Dire from the start.
