Great cast
Easter egg on the DVD
Outstanding film
I love this film! One you can rewatch over and over again, yet never tire of it. The film is shown in flash backs, each scene showing what happened just before the last section. The main character has short term memory loss which plays well with how the film is viewed. It has a gripping story and plenty of twists. One of the most original films ever! If you have the DVD there is an Easter egg to watch it in the correct chronological order of events, brilliant!

Interesting Outlooks On Original Characters
Good Character Development
Started Magical, Dragging Now
I really enjoyed this at the start, and even this series at the start was great, they bring in some many different characters from so many stories and lnik them amazingly.
It had gone on enough this series that the way it ended would of been brilliant closure to all the realms. But then they had to ruin it with the 5 minutes at the end

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

Original idea of the killings based on Urban Legends
A cool, slick, Slasher film
This is a cool Slasher film that had a similar vibe to Scream and I know what you did last summer. It was released just after those films. The cast was very popular at the time including Robert Englund of Freddy fame and others from big teen shows at the time. Definitely one for Slasher fans with plenty of twists to keep you guessing who the Killer is, including the obligatory creepy janitor. If you missed it give it a whirl.

FANTASTIC
I will admit that I was forced to watch this by one of my more girly friends. I have never watched the original as not a big fan of cartoons and as a child I watched mostly action and adventure films not princesses.
I really enjoyed it and was very surprised it was as good as it was. My only downfall (if you can call it that) is I wouldn't think it was suitable for my 4 year old as some of the scenes can be a little frightening.
Would definitely recommend this to anyone!

The Ghost Never Really Came Out Her Shell, But She Showed Us A Great Time In The Shell
I do like this film, i would not rush to watch it again however. I feel this is a one time watch enjoyment, not the kind of film you can watch on repeat.
It was very dramatic and powerful with great scenes, but something was missing.

Crazy plot
One of the most original horror films in years
I had heard weird and wonderful things about this film, thus expecting something totally different to the norm. You can figure out early on the general feel of the film.... But in the final third it racks up the craziness! Some plot lines did remind me of some other films. The ending could have been drawn out a bit longer as well. I throughly enjoyed it. Good to see Daniel Kayuula in something mainstream, having seen him in some UK TV series in the past. One to watch.

Cool new characters
Links well to the older films
Deja vu
It's great to see a Star Wars film back on the big screen. It has plenty of action, a good mix of new characters with some old favourites. The Sfx and battle scenes are great. The only disappointment for me, without giving too much away, was that it seemed to take key plotlines and scenes almost straight from the original 3 films and reused them again. Still it's a fun entertaining film and well made to keep the fans happy.

The rare occasion that Gaiman totally missed the mark for me. Basically one long run on joke about all the tropes found in every Gothic tale ever told, this is the weakest of Dark Horse's Gaiman adaptations. I haven't read the original story this was adapted from, so I'm not sure if this is worse/better or if it's Gaiman's story or Oakley's adaptation, but I quickly found myself skimming thru just to get to the end, and when you're reading something only 48 pages long and you start skimming when you're only half way thru...

Elizabeth Moss and Joseph Fiennes is fantastic
Masterful adaptation of Atwood's classic book
There was a lot riding on this TV show, more than 30 years after the original book came out. But it was unbelievably dark, even more so than the book, and completely adjusted for contemporary times. Attacking various structures where women have fought hard for their rights such as the workplace, LGBTQ rights, FGM and pro-choice - this series shows how the state can take those rights away and take control of women's bodies. Extremely grim viewing, it really is a difficult watch.
