LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Leprechaun 3 (1995) in Movies
Nov 11, 2020
Warwick Davies has just about perfected his little shit of a villain at this point, and I actually think he's a bit funnier this time around. The rest of the cast is what you would usually expect from a Leprechaun film, but it's always a treat to see scream queen Caroline Williams, and she's a welcome presence throughout this movie.
There's some decent effects work on display, some suitably gory and unique kills, and the Las Vegas setting is as fitting as it is inevitable for this franchise.
I would say that Leprechaun 3 is probably my favourite entry so far. Still trashy as fuck though, but to it's credit, it's fun and doesn't get boring.

Aug 2, 2021
As stated in the title, this is an obvious homage to the 80s (and early 90s) bringing in likenesses of Wes Wraven (scream) and Sam Raimi (Evil dead) in in wonderful mashup of horror.
Set in a small town seemingly cursed with bad luck, a group of teens find themselves hunted by a dead witch whose sole purpose is to take revenge on the town for her execution a few hundred years before.
On the run and hunted by demonicly possessed victims from years prior, time is not in their side as the teens seek a way to end the chase before they meet a bloody and gruesome end.
The first of a trilogy that did not disappoint and the start of what could potentially be something great.
LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Stung (2015) in Movies
Feb 10, 2021
Stung is a perfectly imperfect B-Movie horror about some mutated wasps causing havoc at a garden party, leading to giant mutated wasps bursting out of various party guests, hell bent on feasting on any survivors. It's really really silly, but manages to be frequently funny, impressively gory, and shamelessly schlocky.
It has two likable protagonists in Matt O'Leary and Jessica Cook, and it's a nice surprise to see that Lance Henriksen wasn't just a cameo. It's let down a little by some dodgy CGI, but a lot of the gory scenes are practical, and a lot of the action takes place at night, so the effects aren't too much of an eyesore.
Stung is a straight up trashy good time, and the often used Wilhelm scream gets given to a wasp, which is low key hilarious, and absolutely slayed me, so bonus points there.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Jaws (1975) in Movies
Aug 26, 2019 (Updated Aug 26, 2019)
Spielberg does an excellent job of hiding the pulpy horror-story origins of the tale, swathing it in plausible small-town Americana, low-key humour and excellent characterisation; John Williams' score is, needless to say, essential to the enterprise. The battle to the death in the second half is superbly constructed, paced and executed. Superb entertainment; I am happy to report that over forty years on, Jaws remains entirely capable of making cinema audiences squirm and scream.
