Loved this one growing up!!
Brilliant film with all the right gore horror twist and turns!!
A mysterious man approaches a boat salvaging group and puts across an offer they can't refuse they all head out to find a big abandoned ship, everything goes to plan they find the boat but it doesn't make sense with the main actress seeing a little girl around the ship you soon figure out something definitely isn't right. The crew start dying and the story unravels with a very dark and gripping story line. Watching it again for probably about the 7th time I noticed what the bad guy says at the end about he was a sinner and he has been given a job to collect the souls, explaining why everything is happening. Amazing film good actors and brilliant story line!! This is a must watch!!!!!

Tons of blood and gore
The cast is phenomenal, especially Dave Bautista

Screenplay/Dialogue is cringeworthy at times
Zack Snyder’s Return to Zombie, Flesh-Eating Form
Army of the Dead injects some much needed vitality into both zombie films as a whole and Zack Snyder’s career as a filmmaker. Dave Bautista is also the best he’s ever been as far as his acting ability goes. Gory as hell and entertaining through and through, Army of the Dead is a must-watch for action and horror film fans alike. We really needed more scenes with Vanderohe (Omari Hardwick) using that giant circular saw to tear through zombie flesh though.

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Hostel Part II (2007) in Movies
Jan 20, 2021
Hostel Part II is certainly an improvement on the first. Hostel feels like it was made to shock, and dare audiences to keep their eyes open. Part II isn't too dissimilar in that regard, but it feels like it has a deeper sub text this time around, and that sub text has everything to do with how women are treated within various industries, and it's really quite horrifying. Its not an overly subtle execution, but it shouldn't be, and for that, I can respect what Eli Roth is going for.
In terms of narrative, Part II doesn't just repeat the same old tricks from before. The scenario is seen from differing perspectives, and offers some interesting ideas. As far as this kind of horror goes, it certainly gives us a more compelling reason to sit through another helping of mean spirited gore.

Murder can be fun!
Picture Edge of Tomorrow, but instead of aliens killing someone over & over, it's a slasher. Simple enough. Just like that film, and Groundhog Day, our protagonist learns from their mistakes & becomes a better person. Jessica Rothe was great as the one who's stuck in the time loop. She's very funny. The story is very simple, but it's entertaining. I figured out who was who (trying not to give anything away here), but it didn't matter. There are some creepy parts, but unlike most slasher films, there is practically no gore. Which is fine. In fact, you may not even consider it a slasher film. The one problem I have with the film is it doesn't explain why she is looping. But I hear the sequel explains it. Guess I'll have to watch that soon.
Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Mountain of the Cannibal God (1978) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
The term “Video Nasty” is a term you used to hear a lot on the 80s, The Mountain of the Cannibal God (aka Slave of the Cannibal God – La montagna del dio cannibale), released in 1978, is one of the many titles that was given the title and was subsequently banned in the UK until 2001. The Mountain of the Cannibal God has now found its way on to Blu-ray with a 2k restoration to bring the horror to a new generation of horror fans in the UK.
The blu-ray starts with an introduction about the movie from director, Sergio Martino, and a text screen explaining, “this Shameless rebuild reinstates the long-missing original dramatic gore and the complete extended orgiastic pandemonium, yet despite very best efforts the quality of a few reinserted scenes will vary“.

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated The Spine of Night (2021) in Movies
Mar 29, 2022
I don't really know enough about rotoscoping or the much loved Heavy Metal and Fire and Ice to make any comparisons, but what I can stay is that I initially found the animation of The Spine of Night really quite jarring. The wonderful painted-like backgrounds felt at odds with the harsh character designs, a point that was further driven when the hyper violence kicked in. However, by the halfway point I was utterly hypnotised by what was unfolding.
The expressions and emotions of these characters come across quite realistic in an oddly surreal way, wrapped up in an epic fantasy narrative that spans centuries, performed by an impressive voice cast.
The Spine of Night surely isn't for everyone, but if you have even a passing interest in animation and don't mind gore, then you'll probably get a kick out of it.

SummerLGrant (185 KP) rated The Limehouse Golem (2016) in Movies
Sep 10, 2017
Fantastic Victorian thriller
If you go in wanting to be blindsided about who did it then you're going to be disappointed, it's pretty obvious straight away who the Limehouse Golem is. Other than that this is a gripping film exploring the dregs of society in Victorian London as two cases come together for Scotland Yard's John Kildare (Bill Nighy) and George Flood (Daniel Mays). The story is constantly bubbling beneath the surface and as it rushes towards its conclusion the violence and gore gets more and more graphic, a lot of it doesn't add anything to the story but the dramatics of it does put the state of mind of the murderer into context.
Olivia Cooke, who plays Lizzie Cree a woman on trial for the murder of her husband, is fantastic in the role and has really put on display how good an actress she is.

On the edge of my seat, another fantastic horror from Jordan Peele!
Finally got around to watching this. After watching "Get Out" I saw this was another horror film from the director Jordan Peele. After watching the trailer I wanted to get it watched straight away but never got around to it.
I'm glad I've finally got it watched. I was on the edge of my seat once the main story began with the gore and the suspense. It wasn't what I expected at all but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Would definitely recommend it if you enjoyed "Get Out" as it has a similar feel with a different story.
It had twists and turns throughout keeping the story flowing but there were a couple of questions that were left unanswered.

Sean Farrell (9 KP) rated The Blumhouse Book of Nightmares: The Haunted City in Books
Mar 15, 2018
An anthology of horror stories commissioned by producer Jason Blum ("Paranormal Activity", "Insidious", "Sinister", "The Purge"), and written by many of the people who made those films with him, sounds like a pretty genius idea. Unfortunately, it turns out to be more than a little less so in actuality. Don't get me wrong, most of the stories here are pretty decent at the very least, and many contain interesting ideas, but there is one all-important thing missing across the board: fear. While there is no shortage of creepy imagery, upsetting situations and gore, at no point did any of these actually scare me. Some of the stories were so lacking in any sense of suspense that it was hard not to wonder if they were actually even horror. All in all it's not a bad read, but it's hard not to come out of this at least somewhat disappointed.
