I love me some raw and simple gore
I first watched this movie when I was around 10 or so and hell it messed me up in the way that I could not look away from the screen the entire time.
The thing about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre that always just made it a favorite of mine is just how raw footage it is, it doesn't have any of the flash and awe that a lot of horror movies have but the acting for me to this day is just so on point that I still find myself questioning if this shit was real or not.

Amazing Continuation :)
Contains spoilers, click to show
Oh man sooo much happened! This book was amazing, all the gore and violence was still there with a hint of family, romance and homeliness. *SpoilerAlert* I was horrified in certain bits and I couldn't help feel that something more happened to Fade when he was captured but perhaps it wasn't explained because this is designed for a young adult audience. I was still rooting for Stalker and he snuck in a couple of kisses but no solid romancing for him yet :( I grinned my ass off at the end when they all chose to go with Deuce. Cannot wait to start the Horde :)

A NA book that takes gorey details and makes sure you can picture it in your mind. This was not at all what I was expecting when I first saw the cover and began the book. Right away you are thrown into vivid details about murder and blood. It continues through the whole book.
The story is well thought out and has many dimensions that continue to influence it. While I do not understand how this could be considered a YA.
I think those who enjoy more gore, detail, and a story that is focused on darker aspects of vampirism will enjoy this story.

Too much cgi (1 more)
The gore didn't seem right
Well hard to believe it's be 15 years since the first Hellboy, this reboot largely seems to have gone under the radar. I can see why.
Despite the big budget feel and huge amount of SFX it just feels like a very standard action film. Quite gory and with every fight accompanied by a thumping rock track. The plot is very by the numbers. It doesn't have the sense of humour of the earlier films. Overall an average action film nothing special but you might enjoy more if you are a fan of the other Hellboy films.

Cheesy 80's vibe (1 more)
Quite funny
A fun Horror Comedy
Well this Netflix original has been on my list for a while so I gave it a whirl. It's a tongue firmly in cheek horror comedy with a fair amount of gore. A young nerdy kid finds out his hot babysitter has evil plans for him.
The cast was quite cool and fun. You sense they enjoyed filming this. It is quite funny in an cheesy way, with a slight 80's horror vibe to it. Almost a horror version of Home alone. If you want a horror comedy that is quite funny check it out.

Saw esque thriller that has its moments.
Having read the synopsis I was expecting a standard thriller with the usual twist or two (which this one does have) but this was actually an ok film in parts.It sets itself up with a Saw like premise (bunch of strangers..a game that needs to be played) but unlike saw it doesn't rely on blood and gore to dispatch of each player.
The games they are made to play to survive are fairly simple and not taxing on their brain.The characters are fairly one dimensional but I guess most are in these kind of films.
Expect to see a sequel sometime soon.

Exceptionally interesting, shockingly horrific and really good watch
Excellent script and performances which are done with great respect. The film doesn't linger on the horrors of the actions of Bundy but rather concentrates on the working of him and his relationship with the family that he connects himself with. This combining with the slow burning crime running parallel lifts it from being a generic retelling of the Bundy story. It's great that it doesn't use gore to tell the story which makes the court scenes more horrific in the reveal of the murders.
An all round classy, respectful thriller.

If you saw the 2nd film then you know what to fear in this 3rd installment. As with most direct to DVD low budget horror sequels, expect bad acting, more gore and nudity. This cast line up does have a few familiar faces in it but the acting is pretty hammy.
The cgi effects for the crocs and blood is really poor. Despite all that it probably just about surpasses the 2nd film, at least the story line this time has a bit more action. One for the low budget horror fans to laugh at!

I haven't seen the original Death Wish film, so I'm just reviewing this as an Eli Roth directed movie with Bruce Willis in it. One, I was glad that there wasn't as much gore as I was expecting. I know Roth typically directs horror and torture porn, so I'm glad he showed restraint. It did take a bit to get going, but when it did, I was glad. It was interesting and was a really good idea to base it in the Chicago area, given it's like the wild west up there. The only real problem had was the pacing, and it did feel like a long hour and 47 minutes.

Predictable ending (1 more)
Not enough action
A movie that lacks so much
A pretty disappointing movie. Watched it expecting something like the Expendables but this was worse.
Not enough action, long drawn out talking scenes and an ending I saw coming a mile off.
I wasn't a fan of the characters or the dialogue but I did like some of the actors.
What action the did have, I liked but that's as far as is goes. It needed non stop action. Gore effects were done well and Arnold Schwarzeneggers character could have been played by anyone else like Sylvester Stallone or someone.
