Superman gone bad
I found this dark reimagining of Superman quite hit and miss.The kid is creepy enough and fully utilises his powers once he knows what he is capable of BUT the writers could have given us a little more of what motivated him to use said powers for evil instead of good.
The film wasnt to heavily reliant on the gore,though when it did it was pretty cool (the glass in the eye scene stands out) and the occasional jump out your seat scare scene did just exactly that.
Not sure if this has the potential to open up a cinematic universe with nothing but supervillains in (as eluded to in a credits scene)

Meh
I was expecting so much from this movie and it didn't pay off. I thought this was going to be about "what if superman was a normal kid who got bullied and so used his new found powers for revenge." Instead we got "strange psycho alien kid who used to be completely normal and now he is insane because reasons." Not gonna lie, the gore was slightly entertaining, but the kid actor was off-putting; and not in a horror movie kind of way.
The concept of the movie had the potential to be something special and give something different to the superhero genre, but instead we got another hash of "The Omen" movies.

Um...
Well this twisted tale came out of left field and was surprisingly good. I found it under "horror" and I get why, but it's not exactly scary. It's almost like "Home Alone" on steroids. The acting was just ok(Kevin James as the bad guy was interesting). The character "Becky" would definitely fall under the definition of psychopath(the girl played the part well). This movie had plenty of gore for those of you who enjoy that sort of thing. It's not exactly "believable" but it was definitely entertaining. The effects were pretty good and the story kept the interest throughout. Not one for little kids, in my opinion. Otherwise, this one is worth a watch.

Kicking off with a genuinely iconic horror kill, Cube is a blast from the get go, albeit a slow burning one.
The whole film has a claustrophobic and intimate feel, with a minimalist set design and a small cast, who are all great by the way. The simple narrative is tantalizing and executed well, with some tense moments, decent plot twists, and the odd splash of sci-fi gore for good measure.
It's low budget, boasts some dodgy effects occasionally, and not at all groundbreaking or spectacular, but it has that 90s sci-fi/horror charm to it, and overall is a competent and entertaining thriller. One of those films that I could easily watch every couple of years.

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Demons (1985) in Movies
Apr 23, 2021
In short, Demoni AKA Demons, is fucking wild.
For the most part, it's masquerading as a serious horror trip, with the odd burst of humour, and occasional 80s rock anthem thrown in. It subjects the viewer to nasty gore, disturbing practical effects, trippy cinematography, it's overall strangeness complimented by its slightly off dub work. It's uncomfortable in parts, certainly hypnotic in its execution.
All of this, before diving headfirst into schlock territory where a dude slaughters hordes of monsters with a katana whilst riding a motorcycle, as an Accept song blasts in the background. Pretty damn wonderful.
Rightly considered an essential 80s horror, Demons is still an effective movie today. Well worth any horror fan's time.

The Hunt...a group of strangers wake up in a field, gagged, with no idea how they got there...one of them opens a large wooden box that's left in the middle of the field, inside are weapons, which they all take...then a gunshot is fired...The Hunt has begun
I'm not going to go into the plot as I think it's better to just watch the film and be surprised, it's what I did anyways.
The stand out role is Betty Gilpin as Crystal. Yes, she becomes the mainlead but DAMN she's good! She plays her part amazingly.
I'd say it's only 'horror' for the gore element, but nonetheless still worthwhile watching.

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Zombieland (2009) in Movies

Nut up or shut up
Zombieland is great, pure and simple. It's a common misconception I think, that zombies have been over done - yes I guess, but the same could be said about any genre - as long as there's the odd good one here and there then I'm ok with it.
Zombieland is a very self aware zombie film - mixing gore and action with a good dose of genuinely funny comedy.
The four lead characters are all endearingly likeable, and are easy to root for.
Woody Harrelson is a particular highlight!
The cinematography and special effects are stylish throughout the plentiful zombie action.
Throw in a great Bill Murray cameo and you have a winning formula.
