Snuff-Movie (2005)
Awful or Genius? or Awfully genius? ...or just awful?
"From the Director of Candyman" was what convinced me to buy this film, and also the fact that it stars Jeroen "Georgi Koskov" Krabbé. I'm not sure what I expected from this film and I'm still unsure as to what it was that I actually saw. Throughout the entire film I was confused as to whether I was watching a work of pure genius or the worst pile of excrement that I have ever seen.
The film had promise but was let down by poor acting and would have benefited from a larger budget. The plot twists and turns, and stumbles and falls... However there was something about this film that I liked, I just can't put my finger on what it was. Maybe i'm just not of high enough intelligence to fully understand it, or maybe it actually was just a terrible movie... I don't know. But I like not knowing. I wouldn't recommend this film to fans of 'Candyman' but i'd say its worth a watch if your into low-budget horror movies.
5/10 - purely because I watched it 3 days ago and i'm still thinking about it. So it can't be that bad, right???

Low-Budget Early 90's Martial Arts-Action Movie
I was searching through an old video store and i found this film on DVD... for 50p! I bought it expecting the film to be so cheesy and crap that it would probably be totally unwatchable. I mean, what can you expect for 50p? But after watching it, i was pleasantly surprised. The acting isn't great, the story is quite predictable and half of the film is subtitled, but there are some great shoot-outs and excellent martial arts fight scenes.
Being a martial arts movie fan i probably enjoyed this more than the average movie geek would, but all in all i found this a good, watchable martial arts movie and i would recommend it to any martial arts-action movie fan.
I give this film a 6/10 - better than average, but nothing special.
