Malevolence (2003)
Garbage
I was one of the many that was offered a free showing at midnight during Horrorfind 2004 in Maryland. I saw that Anchor Bay was doing it and I think Anchor Bay is great so I decided to forgo some sleep and go check out this flick they're going to release theatrically. OMG, this is a huge snoozer. I can't imagine a more generic slasher than this piece of crap. Everything was bad about it! The acting was awful, the story was rubbish, the music was annoying and repetitive, and everything was predictable as well. If I weren't responsible for getting 4 people back to the hotel I would have walked out...now that I think of it I should have went to sleep in the theater.
When we got back we spoke/overheard several Horrorfind attendees who have seen the movie and I'd say about 90% were singing this movie's shortcomings. The people that didn't go were happy they stayed at the hotel to drink. I'm sure if I were drunk the movie would have been better. I could say more, but this 'film' doesn't deserve it.
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
A New Wave?
I doubt this will be the new hot genre (not that it is new), but I'd be overjoyed if it were. This is one of the top martial arts movies I have seen. It is full of the old school style and flare of the 70s Kung Fu/Samurai movies but has a touch of Tarantino style that I love. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes Kung Fu/Samurai movies dripping with class. I'm a big fan of blood and guts and this movie didn't disappoint. The only downfall I can think of is the Anime in the middle of the movie, but at least it was bloody.
