Silent Hill (2006,  R)
Silent Hill 3.5 Stars
This film has some amazing shots,like the game come to life,and at times that is very affective.This is an enjoyable film with some gory parts and pretty good performances and the story is good,although it helps alot if you are familiar with the Silent Hill games.

The Amityville Horror (2005,  R)
The Amityville Horror 3.5 Stars
This is actually much better than i remembered and i enjoyed it more second time around.When the Lutz family move into a big new house which was previously the site for a mass murder they get caught up in it's haunted surroundings,George in particular,who hears voices and has frightening visions every night,driving him to near insanity which nearly tears the family apart.This is an improvement on the slightly boring original and has decent performances from the whole cast including Ryan Reynolds and the really fit Melissa George.Some scary moments and tension keep you glued to the screen,not literally,until the end.Overall,a well made haunted house horror.

Thirteen Ghosts (13 Ghosts) 3.5 Stars
Pretty good ghost story,the ghosts are cool and its quite exciting stuff but its let down by the ending,one part of which is so unbelievable it takes the piss and the other part,where the girl quits her job,is completely pointless.Especially as its the last thing we see before the credits.Other than that,good film.

Zodiac 4.0 Stars
Good story and great performances in this new David Fincher film.Different from Seven and Fight Club but that was the whole idea,its more fact-based about the Zodiac Killer than a horror film.Overall,if not amazing,still a very good film.

Vacancy 3.5 Stars
For the most part this film is tense and exciting to watch and Luke Wilson and the stunning Kate Beckinsale do a good job as the unhappy couple but it gets a bit silly towards the end and leaves you with a few unanswered questions.Still,this definately has it's moments and is a good idea for a horror film.,if you want a sit back and switch your brain off and just enjoy and get a few scares along the way then this could be exactly what your looking for!

Creepy psychological horror about a mother who loses her little girl to "the dark",some kinda limbo type place,when they visit the father who lives in a farmhouse by the sea.This is quite a gripping film with a few jumpy bits.Its also an interesting story with a decent,if pretty sad,ending.

This was a fun film.Perfect for just chilling out in front of the tv with a beer and a pizza!A cool black comedy with lots of twists.I was a bit scared that simon peggs american accent would be a bit stupid and cringeworthy but he doesn't do a bad job and i also managed to forget that david schwimmer was ross from friends!I guess you could compare it to kisskiss bangbang,its not quite as good as that but its still cool!

Did a good job in scaring the living piss/shit out of me! Although the back-story can get a bit to much towards the end and some of the acting is a bit dodgy to say the least it does its job in that when its supposed to make you jump,it does!A few gory bits as well.A pretty decent horror movie.

A british version of The Longest Yard that is probably better that the Adam Sandler version of the same name!Its ok,nothing special.Vinnie Jones plays a footballer in jail for assault and forms a football team with some of his fellow inmates in order to play a match against the prisons guards and obviously,theres some trouble along the way.Pretty good,some funny moments.

1408 3.5 Stars
A good horror that relies more on jumpy bits than on gore and it mostly works.John Cussack is great as the main character slowly going mad due the events surrounding him as he stays in room 1408 at the dolphin hotel.It maybe goes a bit far a couple of times and we dont see Samuel L. Jackson enough which is a bit misleading if you saw the trailer,but other than that,this was a good,edge of your seat horror.

This film is mental.Ok,two characters get killed by a carrot!The story is a bit stupid and theres no real depth to any of the characters but as a leave ya brain at the door,sit back and enjoy the violence kinda film it does it's job very well.Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti are brilliant as the hero and villain, respectively.And Monica Belluci is as sexy as ever as the lactating prostitute!Some great one liners and lots of great shoot out scences to which is a good thing really considering the title of the film!Exciting stuff.

The Hills Have Eyes 3.5 Stars
Although this film isn't very scary it delivers on the shocks and gore factor and there are a few great,edge of your seat,hands over your eyes type moments.I think the only thing that ruins this is that the kids are far to clever for their age,nobody would come up with the idea they did towards the end!I won't ruin it.Saying that i haven't seen the original so i have no idea how faithful the director of this has been to wes cravens original version.

White Noise 3.5 Stars
This film was better than what i expected it to be.Michael Keaton gives a good performance as the man suffering from the loss of his wife.The subject matter is one thats quite scary when you think about it,especially because of the stuff that happens when keatons character try's to contact his wife through white noise(the static that comes from your computer/tv screen).This was a decent horror/thriller, sad and scary at times.

Although not as good as the first US Ring remake and not a patch on the Japanese original sequel,this is still a good,effective horror with some creepy moments and a good performance from Naomi Watts,as usual.Not brilliant,and you do get the impression that certain things are dumbed down for a western audience,this is still a pretty good film.

A very good performance from Jim Carey as the man who has a great,well paid job,gets a great promotion then loses it and has to resort to robbing in many creative ways,joined by his wife,in order to fund for their family who are on the verge of losing their nice,big house.This has some very funny moments and a good twist at the end that will leave you happy and relieved that the "bad guy" played well by the reliable Alec Baldwin gets whats coming to him.

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005,  R)
The 40-Year-Old Virgin 3.5 Stars
Steve Carell had already made a name for himself after a brilliant performance in Anchorman so expectations were high when this came out with Carell playing the main character;a 40 year old retail worker who lives alone and still hasn't had sex(the clue is in the title!).Overall,this is a good story with alot of funny,sometimes hilarious moments and although it isn't as strong as the same writing teams' more recent efforts, Knocked-Up and Superbad this is still a decent comedy with strong performances and good gags.My review might have suffered a little due to the fact i watched the DVD version,which has 17 added minutes which means its now about 2 hours and 10 minutes long.A bit to long in my opinion,it's still good though.

Signs 3.0 Stars
Probably my least favourite of the M. Night Shyamalan films.Although i haven't seen Lady in the Water yet.It was ok,Joaquin Pheonix is good as usual and Mel Gibson does a good job as the former priest trying to overcome the death of his wife throughout the ordeal of the "visitors" and the rest of the cast put in good performances but the story didn't hook me as much as say Unbreakable did and the script wasn't as good as The Village and the twist at the end wasn't as good as his other films to.Overall,not a bad story and a pretty good film but nowhere near as good as his others.

Mike Bassett: England Manager 3.5 Stars
This is quite a funny look at what happens when the Football Association put a manager from a lower league in charge of the international team.Cue some good gags and funny lines and the inevitable downfall of the England team.This isn't briliant but you do have a laugh along the way and you do feel sorry for Mike Basset at times,played well by Rick Tomlinson,as well as laugh along at his,and the teams,mistakes.Overall,a decent,watchable,if not great,comedy.

Rise: Blood Hunter 3.5 Stars
Pretty decent vampire film about a womans revenge on the people that made her a vampire.Lucy Lui puts in a pretty good performance as Sadie Blake,the infected journalist who gets to close to the murder scene when investigating the death of a local girl.This film is gory at times,scary at times and sexy at times and you never see any fangs or messed up faces like in other vampire films which makes it different but it never seems to jump out of that "this is a pretty good film actual
