Reviews

OK, If you have seen Rec, Creep or The Blair Witch Project, then you have seen this!

I really don't get all the other reviews that are calling this movie original and entertaining! It's completely Cliché and very unsatisfying.

Four undercover journalists go on a mission to Sydney's underground to expose the truth about a government water cover-up and slowly but surely and very predictably they get picked off one by one!

The characters (all except the female role) were pretty believable and likable but that's about as far as the compliments go!

The Tunnel is an instantly forgettable and very flawed movie. The Acting and dialogue was acceptable but the story was just laughable and has been done so many times before.

I can't help think that a few friends were sitting around drinking one night somewhere in Australia and just decided to make a film about something that has been done to death and lost it's charm some 10 years ago!

The Blair Witch Project has a lot to answer for! Without it, this tripe wouldn't have been made!

Clint Eastwood has contributed some fine directing to the movie world in the past few years so I knew I was going to be in for a thought provoking 2 hours but this movie proves that he is still more than capable of holding his own against some of the younger Hollywood stars IN FRONT of the camera as well! Gran Torino is a masterpiece of sheer class! One of the best movies I have seen in about 5 years.

Clint plays Walt, a racist and grumpy ex-Korean war vet who lives on his own as the only white man in an Asian neighbourhood. One night he gets caught up in fight between the the family next door and the local gang.

What follows is something that will make you think and bring a little smile to your face.

I haven't reviewed a movie on here for a while but felt I should do so with this one as a lot of people seem to be convinced that this is worth seeing! Firstly, I would like to point out that, contrary to popular belief, this movie is neither creepy, scary. entertaining or GOOD! The plot leaves a lot to be desired and although the acting is credible, it is very difficult to believe that the actors were anything like the people they were supposed to be portraying.

There is pretty much no direction to this movie (if you can call it that). It is a few (supposedly) real life recordings (both video and audio) mixed with a dramatisation of what happened! Even though this has been done over and over and over before, this was probably one of the worst I have ever seen.

In summary, this movie was definitely NOT scary, NOT creepy, NOT entertaining, NOT good and definitely NOT worth seeing! In addition to all this, is has probably the worst ending I have ever seen in a movie! (and I have seem Paranormal Activity)! 2/10

OK, firstly, why on earth and how on earth did this movie get the title "Messengers 2"???? It had NOTHING whatsoever to do with the original movie, except for the fact they live in a house on a farm! Basically, you have a family on a farm who are hard up for cash and fighting! The dad decides to stick a scarecrow (that he found in the barn) into the crop, in the hope of saving some corn! He does this against his son's wishes (even though we never find out why)! The scarecrow then takes it upon himself to reap vengeance on all that crosses the dad! Including the crows! This movie was ridiculous! The original Messengers was creepy and had a good story! This is just laughable! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

OK, I want to say I liked this movie! But I didn't! I also want to say that I hated this movie! But I didn't! What I WILL say is that up until about 1hr 40mins (of a 2hr 1min movie) I was pleasantly surprised! THEN....It turned into an episode of Southpark meets Roswell! If you are expecting a movie that crosses "Signs" with " Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" with "The Mothman Prophesies" with "War Of The Worlds" and "The Day After Tomorrow" then this is for you! The CGI was some of the least realistic CGI I have ever seen! Especially the train crash scene! But If you want a movie with a little substance and good acting, then I would give this a miss! I rate this movie 5 out of 10! And it only gets that because it started off OK!

OK enough! The last few comments on here are obviously fake! (from cast and crew of the movie) I mean they are pretty much all the same! To be honest I wasn't a major fan of the original Cell movie but this sounded like it might have a good story do I took a look! Well that was a mistake! This movie sucks in a massive way! Firstly, I have to say Frank Whalley was about as scary and Tony the tiger! Secondly the acting was terrible and the "good story" I was looking for was non-existent! Please, save your time and money and do something a bit more interesting instead, like de-fluff your carpet! Terrible!

I gave this 2/10 and that was being very generous!

There are a lot of comments on here saying that "Raimi has created a masterpiece" and that this is a "Truly Scary Horror".... Well let me just say that although it is a very welcome return to horror for Sam Raimi, this is not a very scary movie.

The film itself is OK, it has an OK story and the acting/screenplay seemed pretty solid but if you are a die hard horror fan like me, you won't find this scary! However if you are easily scared and hide behind the sofa when you see the movies that the Sci Fi channel show then you might find this a bit disturbing! The story starts off a little similar to Stephen Kings "Thinner" but goes off in a completely different direction.

If you liked movies such as "The Grudge" and "Lost Souls" then this is for you.

I gave this movie 7/10

I saw this movie as part of a promotional drive! I have to say that when I first heard of it, I just assumed that it would be another "Dude Where's My Car" or "Sex Drive" but I have to say I was thankfully wrong and pleasantly surprised!

If you are expecting a movie with a superb script and a brilliant acting display, then go and watch something else as this will disappoint you!

But if you are looking for a no-nonsense, simple, hilarious and brilliant comedy then get your money out and go see this! I can't remember laughing so much for ages!

The Mike Tyson cameo was pure comedy genius! :)

I gave this movie 9/10 :)

I went into viewing this movie with a very cautious attitude! After all, it was re-make! I can't think of any re-makes that I would class as better than the original, except this! This is actually better that the original! The acting is first class, the script is brilliant and the movie as a whole does the original so so so much justice! I understand that rape and revenge can be very touchy subjects to deal with but the the director and actors here have dealt with it in a very mature and decent way! If you liked the original or even thought it was just OK, watch this version, you might be pleasantly surprised!

I gave this movie an 8!

I saw this movie with my wife the other night and I have to say we were VERY disappointed! We are both pretty big fans of Kevin James and we love King Of Queens.

The movie was produced by Adam Sandler and Happy Maddison productions but unlike other James/Sandler collaborations (I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry) this movie had pretty much NO comedy! I can remember ONE occasion where I had a little chuckle to myself but that's about it! The story in itself wasn't completely rubbish! Although it was pretty much the exact same story as Observe And Report starring Seth Rogen. Mall guard wants to join police force, can't get in, sticks at his security job, meets girl, defeats baddies, gets girl etc...

I gave it a 3/10 but that was very generous!

This movie starts the way it means to go on - with gore! Which, to be honest is probably the only redeeming thing about it! I just didn't find myself feeling any of it! The acting was pretty bad! The holes in the plot were thick! (They find a guy and ask to use his telephone, he explains that he doesn't have a land line, but manages to send the police an email! pretty hard to do without a phone line).

The killer meant nothing to me, you never get to know anything about him, which is a shame because there could have been loads to say.

I was left hoping that there was going to be a big twist at the end, but it just didn't happen! There was so much that could have been done with this movie but it never happened! I gave it 5/10 for the gore, without that it would have got a 2!

OK, obviously the previous comments have been written by crew or cast of the movie, they are pretty much exactly the same and they would be the ONLY people to find this load of crap entertaining! Firstly, yes this IS yet another run of the mill teen slasher/lost in the woods with no mobile phone signal piece of garbage! Secondly, there is NOTHING good to say about this movie! The acting was absolutely diabolical, I've seen better acting at a kids nativity play! And the script (if there actually was one) was just beyond belief! The previous comments say something about being scary and funny with great visual effects and music, well sorry but you have to be kidding! They also mention that there are great and sensual sex scenes! What???? The sex scenes are like something from a REALLY bad porn movie! I am angry that I wasted 90 minutes of my life on this monstrosity of a movie! 1/10 and I'm only giving 1 because zero wasn't available! NOT SCARY! NOT FUNNY AND NOT GOOD!

Well what do I say? I Have seen some horrible sick movies in my time and this has to be right up there with the most disturbing! So you have seen some bad films eh? Cabin Fever? The Hills Have Eyes? Wrong Turn? Well forget them! Compared to Cannibal Holocaust those movies are the equivalent of Highschool Musical! Without giving too much away, a group of amateur film (documentry) makers head out to the Amazon (jungle, not the website) to make a film on the local residents.

But on their journeys decide to treat the locals like crap and end up being dinner! All I will say is that I have no idea if the animal mutilation scenes were real or not but if not, they were the best effects I have EVER seen! 9/10! Only dropped a point because I can't decide if the animal stuff is real or not!

OK firstly, this has been done over and over and over in the past few years! How many times can we be subjected to the same old story and cliché characters?? A group of friends go for a holiday in a remote cottage in the middle of nowhere! Amongst the characters are the "Jerk", "Bitch", "Nice Guy" and "Misunderstood Girl" oh and we shouldn't forget the "Psycho Maniac"!!!! Jeez! Anyone that has seen Severance or The Cottage will have seen this without even knowing it! Basically it is just a combination of the 2 movies! One saving grace was the direction, it was pretty tight! If only the acting, story and characters could have been as good!

I seriously can't believe this has a 5.9/10! This movie is hilarious!!! I read some really bad reviews of this movie and stayed clear! But now I wish I hadn't! I watched it tonight and I have to say that I haven't laughed so much at a movie in years!! Do yourself a favour people, watch this movie!! I haven't seen the TV show yet but I will definitely be watching it very soon! The movie follows a group of inept cops who are called into action after the whole Miami police force are laid off with a bio-medical condition! And what follows is pure genius!!!

See this movie!

10/10!!!

OK, I saw this movie on UK satellite! I have to say from reading the preview I had some high hopes for this movie but boy was I wrong! This was right up there with one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen! It was advertised in the UK as "Snakes on a Plane in the Wild West"! Although Snakes on a Plane wasn't an amazing movie, it was so much better than this tripe! A loner travels into a wild west town looking for his friend (who is dead) and soon becomes the local hero! Although he has some bad news for the local residents, he has news of a plague of snakes heading their way! He soon becomes the Posse leader and hatches various plans to defeat the scaled worms! As soon (within 2 minutes) of defeating the snakes, a local resident picks up a (obviously rubber) snake tail and from this he detects that they are babies and that the parent is close! Cue the GIANT 200 foot CGI snake....... Need I say more???? 1/10

24:Redemption does exactly what it says on the tin! The last season of 24 wasn't too great but this 2 hour special definitely redeems itself! If you loved the first few seasons, you will love this! Without giving too much away, Jack is in hiding from the US government and as he learns that he is requested to report to the US embassy to face his punishment, he decides it's time to move on! But.....just as he is about to leave he gets caught up in a civil war! If you are expecting a beautifully directed and written masterpiece, then you will be disappointed but if you are looking for the non-stop, cheesy, far-fetched action that the first few seasons gave us, then you will LOVE this!
