Last man!

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 8 February 2008 01:49 (A review of I Am Legend)

For those of you that are movie buffs and enjoy horror movies, check out Will Smiths new movie "I Am Legend" Its about him being the last man on earth. This movie is based on Richard Mathesons book that came out in 1954. Two movies followed after the release of the book. The Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price which actually followed the book pretty close but being that it came out in 1964, the effects were not that great. After that The Omega Man starring Charleton Heston came out in 1971, that was pretty good but did not follow the book as much. I have both of these films, and enjoy both very much. As far as Will Smiths new remake I enjoyed it but still like the Omega Man better as well as the book. The only thing I didnt like about Smiths new movie were digital infected humans I tought that was pretty weak. I did enjoy the empty look that they gave New York after the infection had wiped out everyone. Over all I reccomend you watch all three films and read the book and decide for yourself.

Old School Horror

Posted : 1 year, 10 months ago on 4 February 2008 10:19 (A review of Hatchet)

I just saw this movie this past week and its was pretty good. This movie was supposed to be released in theatres, I remember seeing trailers and previews for it at the movies but I guess it never made it. I dedided to buy it when I saw it, and I was not dissapointed. This movie was billed as "Old School" Horror, and let me tell you that is exactly what it is. The plot is basic just as all the Friday the 13th and all the other Nightmare on Elm Street movies, the thing that set this movie apart is pretty simple, the effects and the way the killer disposes of his victims is pretty cool and creative. This movie has no CG in it! So if you are a fan of old school horror and gore this movie might intrest you. Its pretty clear in the first 10 minutes of the film that its not a big budget movie but give it time and you might just enjoy the film!
