After the fall of society. The French are still here! A slight witticism as they are no light-hearted moments in this movie.

A plague has destroyed France and possibly the world. One man walks tall Merrick an ex-boxer. He befriends a teen and they have adventures together. So it is like a father-daughter relationship. It is about them trying to eke out a living in this destroyed world.

It is a foreign language so unless you speak French you will need to read the subtitles.

This is a bleak movie where nothing really good happens to the characters. It is well acted throughout but it can be slightly hard to follow in some of the later scenes, perhaps I was not reading the subtitles fast enough.

Well worth watching this micro-budget movie.

It is a great idea. Watch prisoners 24/7 for a subscription, dehumanizing them. That is what it says it is about. It starts off like it is going to be about that then goes off at a very boring tangent. It is only worth watching if you need something to send you to sleep.

This is an amazing movie. Probably the best ever, made and yeah it is amazing.

It really is not as bad as they say it is. It really tries hard to be a good movie with a very small budget. It is interesting.

If you like low budget movies it is worth a shot.

Such a wasted opportunity. Poor scripts. Unlikeable actors. This make Hawk the Slayer look like a masterpiece. Do not waste your time with it.

It is terrible, it is bad, it is boring, have I made the word limit now IMDB? How many ways can I say it was not worth watching?

Only watch this if you like movies made for 100 quid. Nothing happens apart from they scream a lot. The picture of a dog fight in space has nothing to do with this movie. Really they need a picture of 5 people sitting on a dirty couch. Just awful.

You are young. You have never had a girlfriend. This is the movie for you. Men have their thoughts blasting out of their head and women do not. You first meet a woman and you are young, full of hormones, what is the first thing you think, I have found her!! Report her to the authorities? No chance... hi, hello, I am pleased to meet you. Let us run and hide as you can be my pal.

Mark Kermode destroyed the movie on release. I thought he was being to hard on it then I watched it. Very average.

What do you get, when you cross the Highlander, John Wick and the Matrix? Yep this nonsense. There can be only 1. It is not this movie.

It is a masterclass on how to make an action movie. Jaw dropping stunts effects. It looks amazing, the acting is good but as they are retreading old movies they have a problem. So given what I have said why is this not at least a 6 out of 10.

It is cliched. I plays like Kingsman 2 the bad one. The plot is substandard. Have you seen the first Highlander? Well then you have the plot of this movie. Do he know he is the 1.. etc. It could also be the plot of the Matrix. Who is the one?

Good versus evil and who is gonna save the world? Ghostbusters of course etc.

Well if there is nothing else to watch and you love Mark Walberg do not watch this movie. As you will love him a lot less after watching it.

So first of all it is dubbed and dubbed badly. Next up nothing happens for half an hour. Apart from a dude finds his long lost love well for a bit. Then we get to the meat of the movie, will have ever sit up and be a man? Yep that is the main plot as far as can work out. Then the power station goes boom! Is he going to become a man, take care of Mother Soviet Union and his family?

By the time it gets down to the movie you will be thinking, who cares? This is the weak sibling of the TV series. It is not as good as the BBC version either.

The effects are pretty good and there are some good scenes of devastation. The two leads are effective but they do not have much to work with.

So if you have watched Cameron's Titanic you will guess the plot. Take Titanic away and put the power station in and you will have basically the same movie. A love story set among the ruins.

It passes the time but could have been so much better.

No point in doing a synopsis of the stories as they were all dreadful. Terrible effects. Acting like they are in a Christmas play in junior school.

There are two good movies in the series. 1 and 2. The George Romero ones. Then there is the tv series, which is excellent. This is the fly in the ointment. Not even worth renting.

Well well well .. Snyder tries his hands at another. Zombie movie. First time around he had George Romero plot to play with. He made a decent stab at it. Introducing fast zombies, zombie babies and the like. Whilst not being as scary as Dawn still a good movie.

A zombie heist movie sounds like a real bad idea but it is a different take. What you get is an epic production on a z grade story. It is a like a Rob Zombie video stretched out to 2 and a half hours. It is not scary. In the end I was rooting for the zombies.

Why is this movie not on at the movies. A lot of them have opened recently. It is because it is trash.

Who knows who started the war. Two once great superpowers fought a war over minerals but when the missiles started flying one thing was certain, the only way anyone could survive this was by going underground. Two people are frozen in time. Adam and Eve who will repopulate the earth. They enter into suspended animation only to emerge in a world that has been destroyed by nuclear radiation. Will the couple survive in this post apocalyptic world? Will this new Adam and Eve be part of a new fair society? As the movie progresses we get to see amazing sights that no human has ever seen before. We get to witness the awe and majesty of life lived to it truest potential. With that the story begins.

The two venture forth with their survival equipment. Though this is where the fun begins in that way that only Murphy can dole out. It is after an atom war what would you do? Hey lets go camping? No chance. Where is my mini gun and mega mini nuke mines to ward off intruders? No a tent. With predictable and charming results. The capers these two get involved in.

Murphy put the low into low budget with this movie and it is all the better for it. You have mutants, raiders and insanely evil games hence the title of Death run. Also, you have his usual cast of great actors who chose to stay in England and be film stars (B movie stars) rather than accept the ignominy of vast riches and mansions in Hollywood.

Jokes aside, this is the holy grail of British B movies. I had to search around for years to procure a copy of it. It has already had 2 watches. There is so much black humour in this movie and you can get loads of evil laughs seeing what happens to two innocents in a world populated by monsters.

Also, strangely, this movie is nearly the exact plot of the ID software game Rage.

With a bigger budget this movie would have been a smash. As it is, it is up there with his other movies which a low budget classics.

I admit it, I loved Hawk the Slayer, Ator the Invincible, Ator the fighting Eagle, Sword and Sorceress. Prisoners of the lost Universe. Warlords of Atlantis and At the Earth's core. Wonderful hokum. Shlock of the highest order. Murphy's Atlantis is of a similar fare but done with a small budget. Well compared to most of Mike's movies this looks big budget.

The plot is wonderful. Two people get dragged into Atlantis. The fabled lost city. Their fate is intertwined with the fate of Atlantis. When they get down there they find that the world is ruled by sadists. A queen, a princess, a vicious hench man and bizarrely an alien. As the plot progresses you get to find out about how they all interact. Their stories are fleshed out.

This is a sword and sandals epic made on a small budget. If you think of the two seventies classic movies At the Earth's core and Warlords of Atlantis done cheaply you get the idea. If you go into this movie expecting to see amazing effects Hollywood stars you will come away disappointed. If you want to see a triumph over adversity with a very strong plot but no budget to back it up, this is your movie. It is like 80s Dr Who compared to the revamped series with Chris Eccleson. This movie does feel like it could have Troughton or Pertwee in it helping to save the citizens of Atlantis.

I have found this great director Mike Murphy. He makes low budget classics. Oddly in the reviews there are two reviews from the same person both saying this movie is trash. It is a trash classic. Plus they give the ending away. Very bizarre way to review a movie.

Nekros is the isle of the dead in mythology. This has been forgotten and is now the Greek Island recommended by Nekros travel. The most prestigious holiday destination. Two holiday reps are showing their tourist group around the island. The lady tour guide goes to a party and a person turns up.. dying, he has the plague and the island is cut off for 7 days. Whilst in quarantine they must stay in the island. This is when the killer/demon strikes. The bodies mount up or do they. The rep finds them. Then they disappear is she going insane. If she the killer?

This is another of Mike Murphy's micro budget movies. This time he moves in to slasher/thriller territory. He has more than one plot line running at the one time.

The characters are not as fleshed out as some of his movies with only the lead actress getting a really good role. Though I guess it is because like the Friday the 13th movies they are cannon fodder for the murdered.

The final denouement explaining a lot of what went before and has quite a few surprises in store for the viewer.

This is another micro budget movie. So if you do not like them, you will not like this movie. It is a triumph of the human spirit over adversity. From the characters, the actors and most of all from Michael J Murphy.

Movie number 4. I like going through lists of horror movies that I have not seen. I have watched 1000s of horror movies. So I have watched five of Mike Murphy's movies. Death Run, The Return of Alan Strange, Bloodstream and now Skare. As a movie maker Murphy just got better and better. His plots are always a lot of fun in a dark macabre way, The later movies have a lot of black humour in them.

Skare. A chap escapes from a mental asylum. He gets taken in by a kindly older woman. Something is up and there will be ghastly goings on and there are.

It is a very competently made movie. As with Alan Strange this movie feels like his most accomplished work.

This is now on Amazon Prime. It says 2020 but is really this movie. Zombies attack trailer trash is how it is pitched. It is more like, hey there is a good looking woman. Director cue the nude scene. What about the zombies? Cue the nude scene...

About half way through the movie they are there for a tame take on Evil Dead. Good fun but probably the only thing memorable was the brunette who stripped for her naughty scene in a pond.

It is official. The worst Dr Who cast have succeeded in getting more atrocious. Yep just when you thought it was safe to go back to beeb cesspit they out do themselves with the worst episode so far.

Also there are no talking penguins in it. Watch it to marvel at how bad Dr Who can be. I am really amazed. I want the robots who only talked via emojis back. They used to be the low point for the series but Churn it out has surpassed even Moffats powers to produce the most pathetic episode ever!! I want the episode when they steal the Drs Brain... they could call it Spocks Brain part 2
