Visually impressive film
A great entertaining film, with plenty of action and a very impressive visual style similar to Sin City. Although the fights are great and very violent the use of CGI blood effects gave it quite a comic book feel and help tone the gore side down a bit. The story is very simple and to the point, not a deep film it is all about the battles and the visuals. Great if you liked Troy, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven but some viewers might want a bit more story to break up all the action. However it's definitely worth experiencing!

Lots of blood and gore
Disturbing to the viewer
A helluva good slasher flick
This review is for the original movie. Not the tamed down, all be it good remake starring Elijah Wood.
I watched this after the remake. And it blew me away with its originality and disturbing actors portrayal of the lead.
If you like being freaked out by performance. Than this movie is for you.
In 1980, we were just being introduced to a massive amount of slice and dice horror films. And this one ranks as one of the best

A Different Kind of Anime
A great read for anyone looking for a different kind of anime. You won't find any dappy romance here however. Rather you'll find blood and gore as the heroes face off against impossible enemies. If the action doesn't keep you interested the intriguing plotline will as you travel along with the heroes to find what exactly they're facing and if there's any hope of defeating the Titans. Be warned this is one of those stories where you're never sure which character is going to die next!

Some dude - "We need to just take a quick blood test from you"
Alien lady - *immediately removes all clothes so this can happen*
This sums up Species III - It's taken what little formula there was from the first two, and just added more boobs, and still, and this is important, it's quite possibly the most boring film I've ever watched.
Dull characters, dull gore, dull editing, dull script.
Also, the aliens look way worse than in Species II, and I just generally hated this film.
Unfortunately, the completionist in me is compelled to watch Species IV. Yay?

A NA book that takes gorey details and makes sure you can picture it in your mind. This was not at all what I was expecting when I first saw the cover and began the book. Right away you are thrown into vivid details about murder and blood. It continues through the whole book.
The story is well thought out and has many dimensions that continue to influence it. While I do not understand how this could be considered a YA.
I think those who enjoy more gore, detail, and a story that is focused on darker aspects of vampirism will enjoy this story.

Saw esque thriller that has its moments.
Having read the synopsis I was expecting a standard thriller with the usual twist or two (which this one does have) but this was actually an ok film in parts.It sets itself up with a Saw like premise (bunch of strangers..a game that needs to be played) but unlike saw it doesn't rely on blood and gore to dispatch of each player.
The games they are made to play to survive are fairly simple and not taxing on their brain.The characters are fairly one dimensional but I guess most are in these kind of films.
Expect to see a sequel sometime soon.
