Mini-Review: Great premise, great characters, great actors, utterly hilarious spin on a typical horror film that plays its hand perfectly. Genuinely funny with some subtle humour and some over the top bits too. It's got a very witty script and I honestly laughed at a shopping list being read in the background at one point.
Mini-Review: An "Irish" film filled with annoying generic american teens portraying the same unlikeable characters as a trillion other B movies.
Mini-Review: This film is like a practical joke that only the person pulling it off finds funny, to everyone else it's annoying if not painful. Most of the characters are unlikeable and the couple that ARE likeable, are treated like crap by the others, making it more annoying.
Mini-Review: A terrible film that completely misses the point of what's creepy about the experiment, namely that anyone, when put in a position of power could become sadistic, and anyone in a position of weakness could be compliant, by putting characters with already sadistic tendencies in the role of guards and the already elderly or weak in the roles of the prisoners.
Mini-Review: First of all, it's filled with lies, there's no true story to this. Secondly it's deeply poorly shot and cut together with its endless mockumentary clips rendering the film almost unwatchable and incoherent. Finally and most damningly a film supposedly about alien abduction is filled with posessions and psuedo-religious mumbo jumbo
Mini-Review: Does great work with a low budget and handily trounces many hollywood giants. Treads the line between fantasy and sci-fi and literally fuses the two into something greater. Absolutely deserves to become a cult classic.
Mini-Review: An excellent premise and stunning scenes of a war torn part of the world mean precious little when the titular Monsters are in the film for all of 10 minutes at most, with the rest of the screentime devoted to tedious travel arrangements and a tepid romance between two dull charmless characters.
Mini-Review: A toughtful film with great attention to detail in certain parts, especially the details of the rituals. Some really great performances too, especially from the little girl
Mini-Review: Just call this one "Mock the Weak". A mean spirited tirade attacking the poor, the old, the ill without an ounce of charm or indeed humour. Tired old hateful material the likes of Jim Davidson would be ashamed to trot out mixed with fat jokes a child would find boring. The theme of the show is supposed to be science but it makes up less than a quarter of the show while the rest is basicly the thinner, richer, living in america Ricky bitterly hating the poor fat british guy he used to be.
Mini-Review: Far from the fantasy I expected this film was brutally down to earth and relatively realistic for the subject matter. All the actors had a good understanding of the cultures they were representing and portrayed them quite excellently. There are a couple of painfully overacted scenes but they're minor blemishes on an otherwise uniquely entertaining film.
