In the Light of the Moon (2000)
Need to get some sleep?
This is another one that promises to be so great, only to drag on and on. Maybe it could have been better if they'd gotten on with the action faster, but even if the guy's life was bad growing up, it was incredibly boring. I still don't really know why he became so very weird, and I'm not sure how this relates to the human condition, when most people don't have a weird life and family like this. Go rent a GOOD horror film, this one is truly lacking.
Silent Predators (1999)
Don't pay more than $1 for this one.
I wish as we looked through the new releases that I'd known this was the bad made for tv movie that I saw on USA network (cable). Had I known this wasnt' your typical cheesy snake flick, I wouldn't have rented it. while part of the acting is fine, and the snakes are semi believable (not outragiously huge) the speed with which the victims die is too exagerated, and it is almost identical to the old movie "Rattler" that is now makign the rounds of network tv movie filler during reruns seasons.
Deep Rising (1998)
Very entertaining on many levels!
This is a great action/horror film. There is enough humor to keep it moving between the horror and action scenes, and there isn't any of that totally unnecessary sex that is so frequently stuffed into action and horror films. The primary male and female character do kiss near the end, but they are dressed, and could be in a mall for all the sex it exudes. the monster is cool, and "Joey" (Kevin O'Connor: Beni in The Mummy)is great! In fact he's now a name we look for as is Famke Janssen (The wife in House on Haunted Hill and Jean Grey in X-MEN). We have been waiting for a sequel (hint to the makers!) as the final line of the movie hinted at: sound of monster in the trees moving towards beach, Treat Williams says, "Now What?!" If you liked Abyss, and Leviathan, you'll enjoy this one as well.
The Abyss (1989)
Rent or buy the DVD version!
While the video version of this movie is great and highly entertaining, the DVD version with the added hour of footage if even better! With the added time and footage, you finally know exactly what is going on, and several of the dialog portions now make sense, for example, near the end when the ship captain turns to the Military commander and says "I guess that puts you out of a job", with the added footage that makes sense. Before, it was a nice line, and if you didn't listen to it, didn't matter. It also explains the "storm" that wasn't expected, yet suddenly came up. If you've seent eh video and enjoyed it, you MUST see the DVD version, it will be even better!
