Emergency Movies*

This is one of the most amazing films i have ever seen. It was very atmospheric and i felt like i was in the movie going on the journey with the main characters. It was very spooky to see London looking so eerie. Music was used very well in this film.

The highlight of the film for me was the scene after Cillian had gauged the mans eyes out and his face was covered in blood,that was one of the sexiest scenes i have ever seen in a film. I just wanted to lick the blood off him,lol.

I enjoyed this movie but it is not in the same league as 28 Days Later,it was a great movie in its own right though.

Vampires,blood and Josh Hartnett!

I have a love hate relationship with zombie films. Whilst watching them i enjoy them but after they play on my mind for a few days - what if one day zombies walk the earth? what equipment would i need to survive? I know i am screwed up but the worse thought is what if my family gets zombified.

Anyway i enjoyed Dawn of the Dead but the end really depressed me.

The following is the plot summary for my favorite kids tv show The Tribe........



'Where the virus came from, no-one knew... from deepest space, bacterial warfare or some nation's scientific experiments gone horrifically wrong? All the Adults are gone... All the teachers are gone... All peace and regular meals are gone... Just tribal instincts and war paint survive. If survival depends on not getting caught by the evil Locusts or rival cyber gang Demon Dogs or just finding your next meal... then the only option is to start your own Tribe.'



........so when i saw Doomsday advertised earlier this year i could not wait to watch it because it reminded me of my favorite show. I thought wow an adult version,what can we expect? I never got chance to see it on the cinema and over the last few months i became less and less excited because of all the bad reviews i had heard about it.



I finally watched it this week and i loved it. I would describe it as an action-packed black comedy rather than a thriller,there are quite a few laugh out loud scenes and the dinner scene was thoroughly entertaining,it reminded me of the evening entertainment at the top UK heavy metal festival Download but i could not help thinking how is that one BBQ cooked man going to feed such a large crowd of cannibals.



I would love to see a sequel!

I saw this years ago when i was really little,i really enjoyed it but want to watch it again before i rate it.

I caught this movie late one night and really enjoyed it.

I saw this movie when i was really young and its always stuck in my head. Its hard to explain why but this movie is really creepy and odd.

Wow i loved this movie,i didnt really know what it was going to be about i just recorded it for when i got home from work. At first i thought this is not going to be scary at all and besides films never make me terrified but i was hiding through my hands all the way through and screamed 3 times in a row,i must be getting soft in my old age because i even had to turn the lights on towards the end because i was so scared!

Recommended by MsNightwatch but i had already seen it. Love it.

Testament is a story told through the eyes of a housewive/mother trying to cope and take care of her family after a nuclear attack. The movie begins quite slowly letting us get to know what the family is like. After the attack the mother keeps a journal and we see several scenes from happier days played on a projector in the mothers memory. Besides from two bright flashes of light this movie offers no other special effects but it does show us emotional devastation,suffering,personal loss and heartbreak in a realistic and believable manner. Quite a few scenes brought tears to my eyes and i think i am in need of a feel good film.

Good film that leaves you feeling as flat as a sheet of paper.

Perfect!

I loved it

BUT

I keep changing my mind about this movie,i can not decide if its a 5 or a 4 and a half. I really enjoyed it but one of the final scenes was a bit too sickly sweet for me so i am not sure if it was perfect or almost perfect!?!

The Hills Have Eyes is a great horror movie with lots of disturbing tension. This movie is my idea of horror perfection. I love the storyline and the character development,i really do care about the family and want them to survive. In one scene i actually burst out crying,my emotions felt like they were on a rollercoaster. I sat on the edge of my seat,wanting to cover my eyes but not wanting to miss anything.

Aaron Stanfords character was so hot in this movie,he got hotter as the movie when on and by the end of the movie he was on fire.

This is one remake that is ten times better than the original (in my opinion).

Having loved all the other versions of this movie i wondered if i would enjoy this as much so i put off watching it for months. I watched it today and actually enjoyed it more than the other versions.

Brilliant ending.

Enjoyed this on the big screen.

Loved it and it kept me on the edge of my seat. This is one for my Emergency Movies list.

A simple looking movie that scared me stupid! I loved it. It was a fresh and exciting movie.

I think [Rec] worked really well because of how it was filmed,we dont really know whats happening which for me increased the appeal,even when the movies finished we are still none the wiser on a few things for example who was the boy in the penthouse and for me the not knowing also increases the fear factor. By the end of the movie i had to sit on my hands so i could not hide behind them. For 76 minutes i cut off from the real world and was happy to be sucked into this movie.

One of the best movie experiences i have had in a long time. [Rec] is the first movie to get 5 stars from me this year(2009).

Well done to [Rec] for making me truly scared,terrified and chilled to the bone.

I watched Rec and then the following night i watch Quarantine. Rec was much better,it is the best movie i have watched so far this year but i still enjoyed Quarantine. Quarantine had a longer running time than Rec so it dragged slightly and it annoyed me that they added a small dog just for the "small dog gets slaughtered" scene.

I found this movie kind of lame,i laughed in parts when there was no need to and it had major flaws (a group of blind kids walking around things casually after they have robbed people and Julianne Moore could see so why didnt she just get in a car and drive everyone back to her house?) but i did enjoy watching it even if it was really miserable and bleak.

Blindness starts off slowly and takes what seems like forever to get in to. Nothing seems to make sense,on becoming blind the characters seem quite calm and are took to quarantine with no tests,no research,no doctors trying to find a cure. Halfway through the movie we suddenly get a narrator,Danny Glovers character,or was he there from the start and i just didnt notice? The screen frequently goes completely white and blank or black and blank,which gets really annoying after a while,by now i think we have got the point that everyone is blind.

After six hours(okay about 2 but it felt like 6)of watching this movie the ending is predictable and bland. I rate this movie 4/5,its good but not great,glad i checked it out.

This movie looks great but my local cinema only showed it for a few days over Christmas and now they have took it off,damn them!

Update 2- yippee The Children is finally out on dvd.

Update 3 - It was worth the wait!

Yippee i finally got to watch The Children today with my husband and daughter,i watched the UK 18 version. It was amazing and gripping from start to finish,a good British movie. Hannah Tointon (Katie from Hollyoaks) plays the lead character Casey,one of the older children,i think she was suppose to be about 16/17. Caseys family joins her aunts family to stay for a few days to welcome in the New Year. One by one the children become poorly and turn into evil little killers who quickly turn on their parents and pets.

Overall the acting is excellent,Hanna Tointon is brilliant shes certainly improved since Hollyoaks and the smaller children are brilliant at being moody,spoilt,brattish and demonic. All the characters were believable and reminded me of people i know in real life especially the over protective middle class aunt(gold star charts,home schooling,my children would not behave like that attitude). The atmosphere was creepy and eerie and the visuals were stunning(blood and ice,the stunning country home set amongst the snow),it all worked well to create a feeling of doom and dread.
