Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated The Children (2008) in Movies
Dec 30, 2020 (Updated Dec 30, 2020)
Damned Brood
The Children- is a excellent film. It reminded me so much of both "Village of the Damned" and "The Brood". Its a mix of those two movies and its excellent.
The plot: Two families gather at an upscale English estate in late December. Elaine (Eva Birthistle) and her sister, Chloe (Rachel Shelley), along with their husbands and children, are set for a weekend of family bonding and winter fun. But when they arrive, one of the children becomes sick, and all of the children exhibit strange behavior. The adults don't realize the disturbing truth until it's too late: The children have contracted a disease that has turned them into brutal, psychotic killers.
Its violent, gory, horrorfying, terrorfying, scay and overall excellent.

LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated The Monster Squad (1987) in Movies
Mar 13, 2021
The Monster Squad is of course a 80s classic, and one of the great gateway horrors for a younger audience to enjoy.
Its biggest selling point is it's premise and the subsequent rogues gallery of classic horror monsters, as a group of misfit school kids (and Rudy, that weird older teenager who hangs round younger kids because it makes him feel cooler or some shit) take on the likes of Frankenstein's Monster, The Wolfman, The Mummy, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and their leader Count Dracula. It's a hell of a lot of fun, especially for people who enjoy the old Universal movies.
The whole cast are pretty likable, a decent screenplay thanks to Shane Black and director Free Dekker, and delivers some solid effects work to top it all off.

LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Slaxx (2020) in Movies
Mar 24, 2021
Slaxx is one of those horrors that is a pretty fun one off watch.
It's so so silly, but is admirably and solidly executed. The practical effects of the killer jeans are a blast and really make the whole movie enjoyable. It has a decent amount of gore, and a pretty good cast. Final girl Romane Denis plays a down to earth and likable protagonist and I can appreciate the movies' attempts to poke fun at YouTube culture.
The narrative is standard slasher style, but it does have some sort of ethical message buried in there somewhere, although it's a bit too half arsed to make an impact.
Overall, Slaxx is a fun time, and is wonderfully bizzare. I predict it will have a cult following before long!
