Madbatdan82 (341 KP) rated The Funhouse Massacre (2015) in Movies
Apr 20, 2019
A film that's really fun....house
I stumbled onto this by accident. What a happy accident. The story is fairly average, group of friends go to a Halloween funhouse attraction based on local serial killers - the very same killers who have just escaped from a local asylum. Plenty of stalk and slash happens as the killers now there way through the unexpecting guests. What's not average is the gore which is unbelievably good for a low budget horror. Also good is the comedy - this film is genuinely quite funny with the sheriff's deputy and 'machete' being highlights. It's not going to win any awards or blow anyone away but for a 90 min black comedy gorefest you will not be disappointed!!

This seems to have come out of nowhere, or I'm just well behind with up coming releases. A detective story from the Saw universe.
Chris Rock, a little hard to view as a homicide detective, is working a case of a potential copycat killer of Saw targeting dirty cops. There is plenty of blood and gore in the traps as you expect, although they are less centre stage this time.
It's a decent mix of a cop thriller with the Saw traps twist thrown in. Although the ending was a little abrupt for me. Overall a decent film that will keep Saw fans happy while moving in a different direction.

I wish I would have seen this movie in theaters. The choreography was beautiful, and the cast was stacked. Taron Egerton was a great lead, and I'm eager to see what he does with his career. It was heavy on gore, but I liked the little explosions of everyone's heads, it was refreshing not to see a bloody mess.

Something original
I remember seeing this at the cinema, what starts out as a simple plot does turn out to be more entertaining. I think the only problem I had was I worked out the twist quite early on, so it became quite predictable after that. Still an enjoyable film though and quite funny in places.

comedic lines (3 more)
very quotable
call backs to other Xmen, including Logan
the after credits scenes
Good rauchy comedy, with some decent action and a lot of gore.
We went to dinner afterwards and spent 20 minutes quoting lines back that we thought were very funny. If you liked the first one this is more of the same.

Incredible
Contains spoilers, click to show
Train to Busan is a Korean zombie horror film, I wasn't sure what to except when I when into this but wow! The actors are exceptional ,the story is intense and there wasn't just gore for the sake of it. There were various scares but not obvious ones, I did actually forget halfway through that I was watching a subtitled film. Amazing

I hated it. I read the first 3 or so stories, then skipped ahead to Kelley Armstrong's contribution, since she's the only reason I picked up the book.
If you like dark stories, almost horror but no gore, this book is for you. Otherwise, steer clear. I like the idea of interconnected stories, but I don't need so much of the bleak.
