Mini-Review: If you've seen a Troma film, then you should pretty much know what to expect from this one. I'll admit that there were a few decent jokes in there and some creative special effects. The rest of the time ... well ... it's a Troma movie. I'll leave it at that.
Mini-Review: To sum it all up, this movie was comprised of bad special effects, bad acting, bad dialogue, bad story and bad Nic Cage, all wrapped up in a little paper bag. And to make it even more special, the little bag is lit on fire. I never watched this one until 2012. I saw a promo for the sequel about some insane filming techniques, which got me interested. Not so sure I want to see it now.
Mini-Review: I was surprised how mild this one turned out - with Tom Savini in the director's seat, I expected a lot more gore and special effects. There were a couple of good make-up jobs in there, but I was underwhelmed by the rest. In the end, it comes off as a blend of the original "Night of the Living Dead" with "The Terminator", which somehow resulted in a movie that could be played on network tv with minimal editing by today's standards.
Mini-Review: This franchise was once a paradise, but Hollywood made a desert of it ages ago. But here's a director with a shovel, planning another archeological expedition. A friendly word of warning - as you dig for old franchises to revive, be sure you don't bury your reputation. You may one day look back and realize you finally really did it, you maniacs. You'll blow it up, darn you! Gosh darn you all to heck!
Mini-Review: Kind of like "Princess Mononoke" and "Inu Yasha" - if you like those, you might like this one all right. I wouldn't compare this too much to Miyazaki's work though because it's not quite that caliber. Okay overall, but I thought the story was somewhat predicatable and the climax was pretty weak.
Mini-Review: I was going to type out something clever, but then I thought it would be more appropriate to spend as much time and creativity on my review as the writers did on the plot of this movie. Nearly unwatchable. The only thing that could possibly redeem this one is if someone gave it the MST3K treatment, but I'm not sure if I'd even sit through that.
Mini-Review: I really liked the frame story of this one and each individual story was solid. Easily one of my favorites of Amicus's horror anthologies so far. I hope that this one is eventually released more widely. If you're a fan of Amicus movies and you can get your hands on a copy, I would highly recommend this one.
Mini-Review: For a horror movie made in 1959, I thought this one held up rather well. I wouldn't mind seeing someone attempt a remake ... maybe without the quack talking about hypnotism at the beginning though. Hypnotism didn't really seem like a big factor in the plot. Also, the cover is a little misleading - I don't recall seeing anything about a noose or a rope.
Mini-Review: The title is a little misleading because the movie is actually about 90 mins long. If you can get past that then ... no, you're still in trouble. This is is plagued with bad dialogue and bad delivery. If you stop using your brain, it's not too bad. Almost like Independence Day, if Roland Emmerich didn't use a brain. Also, if you want to scare your kids off Pokemon, show this movie to your kinds and tell them that the aliens are Pokemon. Predictable and dumb but I've seen worse this year.
