i saw the devil/ akmareul boatda; from korea, the subs were so-so but not a moment of this was wasted. really well written because to make a statement about moments would suggest an overkeen editor but no, this was great. brutal and speedy. the protagonist was fantastic, really fantastic. sure it had its curiosities but that comes with most things ( Read more... )

shutter, horror, thriller. i managed to get hold of this Thai horror through video guy (of course) and, as it is, i havent seen the US remake yet so i was doubly excited. being called `shutter` it can only be about a few things in this small world and my first guess was spot on though that did didn't spoil things, it rarely does. what i can say is ( Read more... )

donkey punch, horror, thriller. damn damn damn this was good. i saw this a year or two ago and must have been drunk or something because i completely forgot about it but this time it kicked my arse. it had everything you would want from a thriller. the plot was great, the acting was great and the thrills were....well, arse kickingly good. should be ( Read more... )

Jimmy and Judy, romance, thriller (kinda) indie. once again a £ shop film beats a hollywood film hands down. i watched frozen before this and that bored me stupid so i stuck this on and it was like a breath of fresh air. edward furlong is awesome, really awesome, in fact so is rachael bella for that matter. the only thing this film doesnt have is a ( Read more... )

black death, thriller, historical. set in 1308 it tells the tale of.....er....well, the black death, although that's not really the full tale. i first noticed this tucked behind something in the action section; clearly it wasnt so i got it thinking it was a sign. was a pretty damn good sign as it goes. i particularly like villages created for movie ( Read more... )

the experiment, thriller, psychological drama. pretty.....er.....wierd start off to this one. another title spoiler i guess but i saw that Forest Whitaker was in it and it jumped up the list somewhat and...wow, what a film. Mr Whitaker played, again out of the park but not in his most common role (quiet, highly intelligent but dopey looking back ( Read more... )

The killer inside me. Thriller/ crime. Starring Jessica Alba, Simon Baker, Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson. i really enjoyed this and i don't know why i had been putting it off for so long. i think it's coz i see too may (semi) famous faces in a film and am instantly turned off by it.....but anyways, yeah this...it was great, at time a tad confusing ( Read more... )

we are what we are (somos lo que hay), horror, thriller. i was curious about this one. haven't seen much lately from mexico and thought i'd give it a go. this explains more than it does...if you know what i mean. i was expecting an all out free for all but it was surprisingly restrained although this took nothing away from it; it was tense and ( Read more... )

the disappearance of alice creed, horror, thriler. i'd been waiting for this to appear for ages and it didnt disappoint. this starts off real broody and menacing and that's pretty much the theme of this film. i was impressed for an english film, dont know why (think eden lake and the children) but i expected this to be american by the title. with ( Read more... )

perfume: the story of a murderer, thriller, drama. i didn't know this was on tv last night so i rented it (durr) but anyways....damn this was good. set in 16th century Europe it tells of a beautiful story that is fantastically narrated by john hurt. as it unfolded i was ever more drawn into it and by the last 90 mins (it's 140m long) i was hooked, ( Read more... )
