Silly storyline but good fun
9 January 2021
Ok, so the writing isn't the best however, Chloë is brilliant in this movie and although you watch it thinking "what the f is this", it's a fun movie, lots of action, good acting, questionable CGI at points but overall, I had fun watching it. Don't think it deserves all the 1 - 3 star reviews on here personally.

Pretty Creepy
29 December 2020
Was really surprised when I watched this. Watched it on Shudder and after reading some of the reviews, thought I'd give it a go and so pleased I did! Genuinely creepy at some points, good storyline. Would recommend!

Killer Camp (2019–2022)
8/10
Bloody good fun
24 November 2019
11 campers try and figure out who amongst them is a murderer. The trailer looked pretty good so gave it a go and I wasn't disappointed. Would recommend this. It's a good laugh, bit of fun & was just a shame there wasn't more episodes. Let's hope for a season 2 next Halloween!

Enjoyable movie, good concept
15 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I actually really enjoyed this movie. Watched it last night and it managed to keep us hooked throughout. The story line is quite good, acting is good, there is a lot of mystery and generally quite enjoyable.

That is (Spoiler coming up)... until the last 10 minutes of the film when... well, it starts to look a bit 70's B movie horror. If you've seen it, you'll know what I mean. Having said that, it's still well worth a watch and kind of leaves it open for a second movie... maybe see what happens in one of the other houses affected?

Anyway, give it a go... really not that bad of a movie, will keep you guessing and quite an easy watch. I enjoyed this anyway :)

Frenzy (2018 TV Movie)
3/10
Not a good shark movie
15 October 2018
I'm a big fan of shark movies however, this was a real let down. The graphics, well... laughable. If this was a comedy, then it worked, had me laughing at a couple of points but not with the film... at it. Shambles of a movie really. If you're hoping to see something like 47 Meters Down, Meg, Bait, Jaws etc... You'll be disappointed. I have this a 3 star review because the story line was kind of there... just a huge shame about graphics, poor acting at times and generally everything else. Wouldn't recommend if wanting to see a shark movie personally.

The Handmaid's Tale (2017–2025)
9/10
Horrifying... a must watch!
13 June 2018
So one evening, Gogglebox was on TV in the background. They played a clip of The Handmaid's Tale and I'll be honest... I was gripped! It was only 3 minutes or so however, it was enough to make me want to watch it. When I started watching it, I was so pleased I did. This is a great TV show, great cast, fascinating story line.

I've read a couple of reviews on here which don't seem to have the same reaction as me... one sad person even labelled it "torture porn" - I can honestly say this person was talking out of their... well... anyway, it's really good, very interesting, thought provoking and definitely something I'm going to continue watching.

I'd recommend this series to anyone and so far, everyone I have recommended it to have really enjoyed it. I love horror films, jumps, scares, things that go bump in the night... however, after watching this, you can really start to imagine true horror when trying to put yourself in the handmaid's shoes. It's just very well written in my opinion.

Hidden (I) (2015)
8/10
Thought this would be pretty rubbish... I was wrong!
14 October 2015
So I actually really enjoyed this movie! I thought it would be a low budget horror, one of those ones you put on before you go to sleep kinda things.

It was really good from the start. Genuine suspense throughout which I wasn't expecting, despite some of the reviews - the plot was good and the acting was pretty good too.

I write the odd review on here, not a massive blogger or reviewer but if I find a little gem that I think is worth watching I would definitely recommend and this film is one of those. Twists and turns throughout.

It's not a horror so don't expect blood, guts and gore but I would say it's definitely a tense thriller. It's not even one of those long drawn out nothing happens for ages kind of films either. Less than 90 minutes and plenty to keep up with throughout.

Disappointed
14 August 2015
So I saw the trailer for this movie and thought "I have to see this" It creeped me out so much! The trailer really did make me think this movie was going to be very scary, creepy and looked well done...

Turns out, I was wrong. Massively wrong. It's slow, a bit weird, not at all scary, a couple of creepy moments but to be honest I can't even remember what they were now.

Left me with quite a few unanswered questions. My other half fell asleep after half an hour and his snoring was more entertaining than the movie.

If you're looking for a really creepy thriller / horror, I could probably recommend a lot more films with a much stronger story line which would creep you out. This movie on the other hand, didn't do that at all.

If you decide to watch this, you'll be watching 2 brothers playing about and an angry mum who's had some face surgery and you'll come away with plenty of questions you want answered.

Overall, disappointing. If you want to be frightened you're better off just watching the trailer.

The Voices (2014)
9/10
Surprising Good!
10 February 2015
So I didn't really know what to expect when I first came across this movie however, one Saturday evening, I thought I would give it a go and I'm so glad I did.

This has to be one of Ryan Reynolds better movies in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I do like his other films but this one was so different.

The movie was funny, intriguing, dark and kept me gripped throughout. If you're a fan of your dark comedies, this is a must see. It's certainly crept it's way into my top 10 movies.

Please give this movie a chance, some bits are a little weird but just go with it and take the movie for what it is... a bit of fun.

Catch Hell (2014)
8/10
Impressed
19 January 2015
I wasn't too sure what to make of this when I first read up on it however, after watching it I was really surprised.

The story line was really good, so was the acting. Maybe my expectations of the film were quite low as I hadn't heard much talk about it. So when I actually watched it, it exceeded the low expectations I had.

This movie keeps you gripped all the way through and has some twists and turns you weren't expecting which is great in any movie!

I'm no movie critic but in my opinion, this film is well worth a watch. Not the best kidnap film ever made, equally, it's still a good film with a strong story line and one I would recommend.

One of the best Family films I've seen in years!
13 January 2015
When I first saw this movie, I was in stitches. So funny, great animation, good story line and defiantly one you can watch over and over again.

This really is one of my top films of all time and would recommend this to you no matter how old you are or regardless of what kind of films you enjoy.

The humour in the movie is great and some great actors/actresses who have been cast to do the voice overs too. This really is an excellent movie and one for all to see.

Easily 10/10

The Giver (2014)
6/10
Was alright... not worth the hype though
13 January 2015
I wasn't blown away by the film, the premise was good and had a great concept for a film however, felt it was a bit of a let down. This could be because everyone was raving about this film and maybe my expectations were set so high, it didn't live up to the hype I had heard.

Don't get me wrong, this is a good film and one worth watching for the story line alone however, don't get too excited... that way you won't be too disappointed.

The acting was pretty good, some big names and some new faces.

Worth a watch but not worth the hype.

A pretty good sequel, all things considered
13 January 2015
I saw the remake of "I Spit on your grave" and although some scenes were pretty tough to watch, overall it was a pretty good revenge film.

When I saw "I Spit on your grave 2" was out, I thought I would give it a go. I was surprised... the movie kept me gripped, intrigued and yes, although one or two scenes were pretty harrowing, I didn't feel they went on for as long as the original and remake.

If you liked the first one, in theory, you should like this one. Similar revenge focus with a couple of twists, decent acting and a pretty good story line. Not for the faint hearted but defiantly worth a watch in my opinion if you like your horrors / revenge movies.
