Honestly, this one comes close to topping the first film in terms of quality. They just did a fantastic job of digging into these two characters and really making this a good film!

The trailer and title do the film no justice - better than expected
On the surface, the storyline to this film is nothing new - child loses parents, child moves in with creepy distant relative in creepier house, weird things happen (Miss Peregrine, Series of Unfortunate Events etc etc)
However, I think this variation on that story is carried out in a much scarier way - should the word "necromancy" ever really be used in a kids film?
The film is definitely a case of style over substance as the plot is quite thin, but the film is enjoyable. There are pretty much no laughs to be had.
I'm not actually sure who the target market for this film is - the film in general is too scary for under 7s, over 10s won't like it because the main character is too young/childish. Seems like a very narrow market being aimed at.
Overall, an enjoyable film but nothing stands out about it and Jack Black's comedy talents are wasted (he actually made it feel like a sequel to Goosebumps).

So I am very late into the game of watching this film and honestly, I'm so glad I did!

This film was not at all what I expecting.

Firstly, the whole film has only two short scenes of actual dialogue.

The film centres around a couple and their kids trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world with creatures that will eat you if you make a sound.

The creatures are blind but have supersonic hearing so will hear the littlest of sounds, even from very far away, and will devour anything in their path.

Even with the lack of dialogue, the film hits a very emotional punch, but honestly, the film doesn't need any dialogue as it already portrays the perfect atmosphere without them.

The family communicate through sign language, something I assume they knew post apocalypse, as their daughter is deaf.

Everyone in the film plays such great parts and conveys such raw emotions.


If you are a horror or even a thriller fan, I HIGHLY recommend this film.

Thirst For Human Blood
David Cronenberg is becoming on of my all time favorite horror directors. First Shivers and now Rabid. Whats next oh yea The Brood, Scanners, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, The Fly and Dead Ringers. Its a horrorfying disturing film.

The plot: Surgery leaves a Montreal motorcyclist with a bloodsucking appendage in her armpit. Soon she has an insatiable thirst for human blood.

Marilyn Chambers does a excellent job in this film.

Cronenberg stated that he wanted to cast Sissy Spacek in the film lead, but the studio vetoed his choice because of her accent. Spacek's film Carrie was released during this film's production and proved to be a massive hit (and a movie poster for Carrie appears in Rabid when the main character walks by a movie theater).

Cronenberg stated that Chambers put in a lot of hard work on the film and that he was impressed with her. Cronenberg further states he had not seen Chambers' most well-known film, Behind the Green Door, prior to casting her.

Its a disurbing film, but a excellent film.

Great film if not groundbreaking!
I had high hopes for this film to blow me away like The Matrix did when I first saw that at the cinema. It doesn't reach that level, but it's still a cool film with slick visuals.

Just a really cool movie
An awesome jam packed film full of cool one liners and expertly directed by Edgar wright. The music fits really well with the film and every scene is a joy to behold, a real film of it's generation. I feel like this won't become an instant classic however it's definitely one to watch

A pretty good film based on a Stephen King novel. It may be a bit slow for some, but overall it is an enjoyable film about a guy who reminisces about his best summer as a young boy. A good character story which in places has similarities with Stand by me and is quite a heartwarming film.

This has to be my favorite king kong movie. If you watched the new Godzilla film you have to watch this film being linked by Monarch (Monarch is a secret scientific organization that first appeared in the 2014 Legendary Pictures Godzilla film).


 FX are spot on and the acting was great. Also keep watching it past the ending credits.

This film set in Scotland had me laughing all the way through it. It is so funny as they do battle. The girl in this film reminds me somewhat of the girl in the Hunger Games films as she never gives up the fight for survival. . Another film all the family can watch over and over again.
