Highway to Nowhere

Dead End- is a funny movie, i dont think it was meant to be funny, but some of the comedy comes out of nowhere. Its a excellent horror movie as well.

The Plot: When a family en route to a Christmas Eve gathering decides to takes a shortcut down a wooded road, an eerie sequence of events signals trouble ahead. After nearly colliding with an oncoming car, father Frank (Ray Wise) picks up a ghostly hitchhiker (Amber Smith) and her infant child. With the sudden appearance of their new passengers, the route becomes dark and treacherous -- and the family's numbers rapidly begin to dwindle in a series of seemingly connected, grisly roadside accidents.

Its a excellent horror flick.

I like road trip films. Spot on review. First time I watched it, it came on like a fever dream and although not a perfect film by any standards, it did pull me in. Repeated viewings have been just as enjoyable. Certainly better than most of the pish that was around at this time. At least it tries to do something different.

Other films have tried to do the time loop plot, most successful was if course Groundhogs Day, which gets a pretty cute shout out in this film, but those other films did not have the cleverness of this film. By taking a horror plotline and injecting some dark humor and murder mystery, Happy Death Day becomes a refreshing, darkly comic, at times truly suspenseful horror film. The repeated day is done each new reset with a slightly different visual take, enough differences to keep it from being boring. The reveal of the killer was extremely shocking, at least to this reviewer. If you enjoy dark comedy and horror in the same movie I highly recommend this film

Amazing Sfx, especially for the Horseman

Great Gothic film

I love this film! It's a perfect mix of horror, comedy and action. It has a good story, strong cast and great SFX. Lucky enough to have seen it at the cinema and have watched it loads of times since! One of Tim Burton's best films.

Wedding crashers

Another good installment in the Rec series. This time set at a wedding reception during the day, told via the wedding video. It has some ties to the first two films but has a totally different vibe this time. More of a Horror comedy this time around but still very gory. Definitely one for Zombie fans.

If you haven't seen Rec 4 yet, don't bother. Really awful, and such a shame after the brilliant first two movies.

A very strange and gory horror, comedy. This was made quite a few years after the first but feels very similar, although the technology for the effects has greatly improved during that time, it really shows in some scenes. It has a very similar storyline as well to the first, so if you liked that you should like this.
