Darren 's Reviews

Not bad for a b grade. The hotel manager really played the role of a freak well and the other actors did a good job. Some beautiful scenery too.

Lots of action and some pretty good car crash scenes. This did keep me on the edge of my seat. I also found it a little too sci-fi for my liking and some parts of the storyline very unbelievable. Other than that, some good acting and thrills to be had.

Not a bad movie.Along the same lines of Final Destination but with a twist.

Not a bad movie. The real killer never was caught so don't expect a miracle ending. Again, a good insight into these killings. There were quite a few moments when I did jump!

Not a bad movie.Kevin Bacon (as usual) plays a creepy bad guy. Well acted by all of the cast.

An absolutely brilliant heartwarming film. A story of a young boy turning into a man and trying to work out everything in between.Brilliant!

A very good movie. Well filmed. I had no problem not hearing the sound. Filmed in such a way that the story is very believable. This sort of thing could happen to any of us. A good twist at the end too.

Not too bad. The storyline was good but I felt the acting could have been a little better. There were, however, some moments of real tension and a good twist at the end.

I really enjoyed this film. I actually thought it was better than the first. If you liked this you will like the Final Destination movies.

Three stars for a good enough storyline and suspense. Acting was not too bad either. Kind of like Saw meets Panic Room. I feel the movie could have had a little more 'oomph'. Some good moments of suspense though.

I actually did not mind this movie at all. Characters were played well and the music score/storyline was quite good.

I actually thought this one was quite good. All the actors played their roles well and the storyline was believable. Has a nice twist towards the end too. If you liked this you will like Along Came a Spider and Phonebooth.

Thoroughly enjoyed this film from start to end. Brilliant filming and camerawork throughout. They use alot of the 'Jaws Shot' throughout the film too which I always like. Amazing how a different sequence of events can change someones life forever. Well worth watching but be prepared to have to think/use your imagination.

One star for some remotely interesting music. I tried to watch this twice and gave up. Fell asleep both times. That's how much it captured my attention. My housemate agreed it was crap except he stayed up and watched it.

Brilliant and powerful, always and I have watched it several times. A story 3 brothers love for one woman and ultimately tragedy. Well worth watching.

If you liked this you will like Saw or Phonebooth. I thought this was a great film with plenty of suspense all the way through that keeps you interested with a great twist in the end. Enjoy.

I remembered this one from childhood so it was great to revisit it after so long. A nice film of family bonding combined with horror. Yes, an unusual combination but well worth the watch. Nice storyline.

I wouldn't say it was brilliant but I wouldn't say it was terrible either. Genuine characters and a bit of a storyline (if not a little thin). Little bit of a twist in the end that keeps you somewhat interested.

I thought this movie was quite good. Loved the soundtrack. Filmed to be dark and disturbing. It was filmed in the UK but not sure where exactly this sort of abduction happened. Anyway, well worth a look.

A very powerful, funny and moving film. Brilliant acting, brilliant script and cinematography. This film has it all.

A brilliant powerful film from every aspect. Five stars!

Weird weird and more weird. If you can sit through it then go ahead. Not that exciting. Two stars for the little bit of a storyline there is.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant! The Eagles never ever fail to entertain and sing amazingly. This dvd captures it all! Well worth it if you are an Eagles fan!!

A classic. The old Astro Boys are the best. Love it!

A classic and even if a little less action/suspense from the first still does deliver.

A brilliant Aussie film with no shortage of laughs!

A good movie (plenty of blood and guts) which reminds us all as to why the Vietnam war was so pointless. I give it 4 stars for the sometimes lack of storyline. All in all this film does deliver.

Good movie. A little bit of a psychological thriller too. Very good twist that indeed does keep you guessing until the end. Well worth watching.

A brilliant film. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters were played well, the cinematography and soundtrack were both excellent. The plane crash scene is also a must-view. Also, check out the 1965 version if you liked this one. Enjoy!

I gave it 2 stars for the storyline.Film was easy to follow and somewhat involving but I would not go out of my way to watch it again.

I give this 1 star for some tense moments and for some of the actors playing their part remotely well. The rest is poor dubbing, poor filming and bad acting. Don't waste any time on this one.

I will give this 5 stars. Intrigued me for the beginning and this film delivered all the way through. Brilliant acting by the thugs in the film. The cast was good all the way through. Filming is dark and sordid. There is plenty of blood and guts. If you like Saw, I know What You Did Last Summer, Scream, Wolf Creek and films like that then give this beauty a go!

Very difficult to follow and too many storylines at once. At first I thought it was the classic 'I Know What You Did Last Summer", "Scream" etc etc but it just did not have the scope of those teen horror films. This one is a mixed-boring-bag.

Brilliant and disturbing with plenty of comedy thrown in for good measure. Well worth watching.

Brilliant performances and a true classic.

Absolutely brilliant film making with a brilliant/gritty storyline. If you liked this I recommend 'Blow' and 'Requeim For a Dream'. Enjoy. Well worth the watch.

You can't beat the old classic Astro Boy!

This is a good remake.Full of action and suspense.Well worth a watch.

Good movie with plenty of suspense and some scary/shady characters. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Not bad for a 'chick flick'. Ben Stiller is awesome here. A good bag of laughs and a nice story about where one's heart finds true love.

Nicely done. Fast-paced (as it is intended to be) and a nice look at the not-so-good side of uppers. Well worth a watch.

Absolutely brilliant DVD watching one of my favourites-The Eagles but then, when are The Eagles not good? Plenty of energy in this and plenty of their biggest tracks.

This one is about some zombies that live under the water chasing stranded tourists after they ram their boat.Terrible really. Bad sound and picture bad at times too. It was good for a laugh, that's why I rate it a 2. Some funky zombies with groovy goggles too! Unlike many of the 'good' old horror films. This one lacks.

A well done movie. Great acting by Jodie Foster (as always) and a great story line. This film grabs you and drags you in. You want to keep watching. Well worth a look!

Enjoyable? Yes, but these get more as confusing as they go on. 100% for gore and cringing. Soundtrack is great and builds up the suspense. I think you need to watch the other 3 before watching this one just to know what's going on.

An excellent classic! Beautiful scenery, storyline and direction. Well worth watching!

I did not find this too bad for the fact it was based on a true story and that made it watchable even though the acting could have been a little better.

This was not too bad at all. Yes, lots of death metal music throughout the film so the remote control volume button did get a work-out. Very unbelievable ending but only to be expected. Excellent make-up with some scary looking characters!

This was not too bad. At times, the movie was a little off-track.

This is no Wolf Creek. Acting was a little lame but the storyline was not too bad.

Excellent film with an excellent storyline. Some great scenery and action too.

Absolutely brilliant film.The storyline is excellent and the characters very believable. It's also an emotional journey.

A true classic. When you sit down and really listen to what is going on this film totally captures you. The scenery was beautiful too.

Brilliant work! Acting is amazing. The story is really out there. Fast-paced and trippy just as it was intended. Very well done and well worth watching.

A creepy classic. Absolutely brilliant performance by Anthony Hopkins. It's eerie, it's dark and it's scary. A classic after all these years.

Side-splittingly stupid! A laugh a second. Well worth watching when you want a good laugh.

Good storyline. I just think some of the acting could have been better. As a parent it is worth watching.

Superb performance by Michael Douglas. This could happen to any one of us. This film shows how it is when someone 'snaps'. Well worth watching.

Nice heart-warming story. Watch it with your other half. Good Aussie characters.

A little hard to follow at times but nice characters and a good twist at the end.Angelina just needed a little more 'oomph' in this.

This one was a great thriller.In the same genre as some serial killer movies except there was only one killing.The rest of the victims were...well, watch it for yourself.Along the lines of Silence of The Lambs with a gothic twist.Loved it!

Well done.Gritty and really 'out there'.There are scenes in this film that really make you cringe.Language warning though.Expletives abound.

Brilliant Eastwood as always.Funny even hilarious at times.Love the 80's fashion too!Well worth watching.

Brilliant.Moving,powerful and emotional.The journey of your life awaits in this film.

Strange but watchable.

An absolutely brilliant and powerful Oliver Stone film. Absolutely wonderful cinematography in picturesque Vietnam. The film makes you laugh and it makes you cry. A beautiful movie in many ways.

B-grade but the performances were ok. Not an edge of your seat thriller but still could sit through it and watch.The psycho neighbour reminded me of the lady in Misery.

Classic older generation thriller. I recommend it anyway.

Watched it for the first ten minutes then switched it off. Sorry :(

Excellent and a bag of laughs. Each character is portrayed in such a way that they are totally believable. The used car salesman is the typical 'sleaze' and Steve Bisley plays it really well. Enjoy and laugh with this 'blast from the past'.

Good twist but a little slow at times.

Brilliant! It's disturbing but reality. Well worth the watch. One of Oliver Stones best!

This may have been a 'chick flick' but it was not too bad. A little slow at first but give it a chance and it gets better. A feel good movie.

Clever and disturbing. Kind of like Saw but set in the desert. A good twist that was unexpected at the end too.

I thought this was brilliant. The suspense and the shocking scenes really make this film. During the cave sequences you really feel as though you are there with the characters. Very well done and well worth watching!

As others have said a good, gritty Aussie drama. Tells it how it really is. Funny and quite sad at the same time. Really did have an unexpected ending. Well worth watching.

Quite a good thriller.Good characters and good plot.The morgue scenes are full of suspense.

I actually thought this one was ok and I always state when I think a movie is bad.The characters were good, the acting was good and the script was good so I don't know why people are saying it is bad.This one is a modern day Jaws with savvy characters.

This is a beauty!Many emotions at play here.It's reality and this movie tells it like it is.A word of warning, this one is not to be watched with children around!Strictly mature viewing.

A brilliant comedy classic!

Hilarious Frank Spencer.Many laughs to be had here.

This one starts off slow but then you generally get the drift.I would not say it was excellent but I would not say don't watch it either.

Rutger Hauer is creepy to say the least in this one.A brilliant film that keeps you on edge.You never know what is going to happen next.You will never look at a remote highway the same again!

Brilliant.Just brilliant.Dark, gritty and full of suspense.Do not watch this one alone!!

An oldie but a goodie.Good storyline.A laugh a minute.'The Fonz' is great in this one.Sit down and watch this when you want a laugh.

One of the best movies I have seen in a long time.Powerful and emotional.From laughter to tears.This gem has it all.An absolutely must see.

This was an excellent movie.Full of style and a great story line.A must see if you are into serial killer movies/thrillers.

A little hard to follow but you get the drift as the story goes along.Could have ended a little better!

A little slow to start but good storyline and a twist at the end that was unexpected makes it worth the watch.

Kind of weird and hard to follow. The ending was somewhat unexpected though.Don't expect this one to be too exciting.

This one was so stupid and that's why it was funny. Wise jokes (quite funny at times). This is something like scary movie etc etc. Watch if seriously nothing better to do. The horror scenes are laughable. The acting is also laughable.

She's back for another dose from Single White Female 1 and just as mad! A great film, good acting and storyline and plenty of thrilling moments.

One I watched as a child at some late night hour on free to air. Had been trying to find the title for ages and finally did. The film is not spectacular but is watchable. If you are into killers that dress in drag and the sexual thriller then this one is for you. As someone else stated, not spectacular but you can sit through it no problem without being totally bored. The film maker quite cleverly draws you into this film.

This was ok. Alot of gore involved (not that that's a bad thing). Plenty of scary moments in this film and the cast was not too bad at all. Remember, never disrespect the dead!

An excellent thriller with a truly psychotic character involved here. In the style of The Hand That Rocks The Cradle and other similar films. Good suspense, believable characters. Well worth a watch.

This film was not that bad. Filming is dark and the suspense at times is unbearable. You just don't know what is going to happen next. You don't know where this film is going from one minute to the next. Not a bad thing but the film does not go to where you would expect it to from the beginning of the film. Good acting, good storyline and a clever thriller here. There are some scary characters involved too.Parts of it kind of reminded me of Seven.Worth a watch.

Chilling. Five stars for this one.It was good to see how it all began for Hannibal Lecter.This film is disturbing.Highly recommended. Neo Noir in some parts and gritty to watch.Hire it and don't turn out the lights!

Immature but contagiously funny. It's great to see some sort of humor come from the cultural tensions here in Australia.Loved it.Was a laugh a minute.Beware of the nudity though (not that I minded).

Another one in this teen-horror category.Worth watching though.Excellent effects and storyline make it worth while.Plenty of scares to be had here folks.

B-grade alright.Bad acting, bad story.Not worth even watching and I am not easily displeased.It was more like a porn film.Don't waste your time.

I found this one great. You are always on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. It's literally a scare a minute in this film. Filming techniques are great and you always think that you are the victim in this one and that you are actually part of the film. If you like scare flicks it's well worth a watch.

This one is ok for its time. Lacked a little bit of a storyline but the action scenes were good.

A classic. Loved this one! Good story, great humor. A little bit of everything in this. Graham Kennedy provides a wonderful performance.

Believable storyline and characters. An excellent series!

Brilliant acting, brilliant stories. When you watch this you feel as though you are 'actually there'. The story and characters are very believable.

An excellent movie. Continuing on from the Guns of Navarone.

Another classic with Gregory Peck.They don't make films like this anymore!

A true air disaster classic.This one takes you into the lives of each and every character before building up to disaster.If you like the older disaster films you will love this one.Plenty of comedy all round too!

Another gruesome one from these guys. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. I have a strong stomach but some of the scenes made me turn away! Well worth a watch, before you eat. The usual unexpected ending too. Can't wait for the next one.

Wow! What a classic. Bag full of laughs and it makes me wonder how on earth they got away with some of it. Quite silly but real funny.

A true classic.Romance,comedy and action all in one in this great Western.Well worth a watch.

Absolutely brilliant.The filming style,acting and soundtrack are amazing.If you love the Hannibal 'series' you will love this one!Dark,frightening and gruesome.Shocks to the core.

Another great film by James Wan.Many similarities between the Saw films and this one.Good storyline and a good twist at the end.The music score is superb!!Music combined with the darkness of this film keeps you on edge.I agree that the character of Mary Shaw is one of the scariest I have seen in a long time.
