Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Stevieboy666 A father is abducted by aliens, only to return 3 years later & find that a new man has moved in with his wife & young son. This British science fiction shocker appears to have gained many bad reviews over the years for being grotesque, silly, etc but I personally think that it's an excellent film & worthy of cult status. The many special effects are well done (so much better than these modern, horrible CGI ones). In addition to aliens there is a creepy clown, a life size action man doll that comes to life & a toy tank that fires real shells! Great soundtrack that adds to the feel, plus a bit of nudity. It did briefly make the Video Nasties list here in Britain but is not considered a bona fide one. I just revisited this on VHS but have also just bought the recent limited edition blu ray loaded with extras, I'm looking forward to Xploring that!
MisterWhiplash At one point a... Kid somehow manifests into being (via his dad who's come back as an alien through a way I won't get into right now) a... Human-sized toy soldier that attacks an old woman who lives one floor below them and... What?On the one hand this movie looks ugly - it has the film stock of a porno - but it's also so genuinely bat***t that I almost admire it's incompetence to get to the weird. I should put this all down more for lacking logic or just a simple explanation now and then - how does the alien or aliens work, how does stuff happen, why do they need to latch on to others to suck human essence, what's with the clown and the panther and I could go on - but I never doubt that the filmmakers are going for something truly demented. It's not Humanoids from the Deep, for example, trying to be a real movie and then have a bunch of carp effects and monsters and graphic rape. As a ripoff of Alien with some ET and The Thing allusions (intentionally or not), it's a true WTF artifact of the 80s, and the effects are creatively gross and morbid.
gavin6942 Tony's father Sam, abducted by aliens three years earlier, returns to earth and seeks out his wife and son, but Rachel has since been living with Joe and the reunion is awkward. Joe does not trust Sam, and Rachel cannot quite decide what her feelings are for her two men. Sam is not the same as when he left, and he begins affecting Tony in frightening ways.This is one of the strangest films I have seen. And I have seen many strange films, wading as I do in horror, fantasy and cult flicks. This one is... well, hard to say. Definitely horror and definitely science fiction, but far too strange to be a straight narrative in either genre.One suspects the budget was zero, as nobody of note was involved in the picture. Bob Shaye produced for New Line, but this was before New Line had really gotten to be a big name. And yet, budget or not, we have some of the finest practical effects and creature designs you may ever see.
WakenPayne How in THE HELL can I even CONCEIVE to realise this movie came from the guy that brought me "Mockingbird Don't Sing"... HOW? I just finished watching this UK splatter film. I will say here this is one of those few times when the script is terrible yet I give it a decent rating. SERIOUSLY this movie has holes in logic the size of Russia. One of the reasons why I give it 6 is because of it's rather crazy imagination going wild, I sometimes can watch those sorts of movies (HEY I liked the first Troll movie didn't I?) but it's the cinematic equivalent of junk food, enjoyable but not good for you on a regular basis.Bromley-Davenport's directing is actually top notch for a movie of this kind under the conditions they were in as far as budget and directing went.So this is decent - but as far as splatter film goes I'd rather watch movies like The Thing.
