Granny of the Dead (2017)
Had its couple of flaws - but a good indie film overall
The film had its couple of flaws, but as a regular visitor to Wales, I am one of those who can relate and "get" the humor behind it, and from that aspect I thoroughly enjoyed the script to a degree. Some reviews on here are pretty mean, and are kinda exaggerating, but they are forgetting this isn't a Hollywood film!
Anyway, my negatives on this film are: There wasn't much back story on the characters, and not much friendship development. Instead of separating them through the whole film until the very end, it would have been cooler to have them reunite sooner. Whether one bumped into another along the way during the film.
From an acting perspective, the only characters I couldn't relate to much was Dai and Gemma. But I loved Will and Charlie (Ricky Valentine and Tom Barker) who made me laugh in all their scenes "brainy brainy". And then there's Ceri (Sabrina Dickens), who was also enjoyable to watch. Her character is pretty bad ass and cute considering she is covered in blood and dirt throughout. She is also the serious character of the group, which broke down the humor of the film quite nicely.
Finally - The camera shakiness was a bit too much, and kinda ruined the film in parts, other than that, the zombies were pretty cool, good special effects, and a good laugh for a low budget film!
Cooties (2014)
Really enjoyed it!
I actually really enjoyed this. I'm not a massive fan of Elijah Wood and it's not of the calibre of say, the Scary Movie series, but this was a good film.
It may not have the best plot or a big budget, but it was quite funny. You certainly won't be bored watching it, it will certainly entertain you and that's the reason we watch films. Plenty of laughs and over the top cheesy gore that will make you say 'eww' whilst giggling.
The opening scenes might be enough to turn some people vegetarian.
I'm not sure why but the scene with the kid skipping with the intestines really made me howl.
Certainly worth a watch and for the entertainment value, the price is a steal.
