I was hoping for a more action-packed gore inferno, but without question, Dead Rising is a better made, bloodier and more entertaining horror film than the cerebral and boring home video Wyrmwood. It has a decent cast, it sticks to the game's template, with the array of inventive weaponry and a bunch of bad guys adding to the film's drive. I had a decent time, and if a better zombie horror movie doesn't come out this year, I'll up the rating. 65%.

A decent and entertaining romp from the Aussies with a fairly convoluted story-building and a decently brutal final showdown. Nicely shot and acted, not boring and very playful. There's not much action, but I didn't demand it so much here, the film managed to keep my attention. 60%

Another great action classic, which I liked even a little bit more than Hard Boiled, but a little bit less than Full Contact, but all of them star the great Chow Yun-Fat, who is undoubtedly the action hero of Hong Kong. The action consists only of gunfights, which are very decent for their time, the opponents drop like flies, blood spurts quite decently and the ending in the church is a definite highlight. But this is not just about action it also has a nice story and some depth, so I definitely recommend it. A proper classic, the quality of which I can only confirm. 75%

After Clown and Girlhouse, this is the best thing yet. Let Us Prey is a damn stylish affair with amazing cinematography and visuals, a perfect soundtrack, beautiful sound design and a nice idea, even if it slightly copies The Traveler. The final half an hour erupts into a solid action inferno where no one is spared, and it had me almost going crazy with the tension and breathtaking atmosphere, sweating and even satisfying my taste buds with some decent brutal shots. Apart from the really annoying Irish/Scottish accent and a very convoluted story, I'm pleasantly surprised. 75%

It may be a classic, but it didn't grab me by the heart or balls. Unfortunately, it took my five days to watch this film because I fell asleep four times, which doesn't bode well. Moreover, I wholeheartedly hate when someone flies on trees or rooftops, I follow the rule of no gravity-no fun and here it irritated me a lot. The choreography is top-notch, the final female fight is definitely the best thing in the film, but as soon as someone flies to a roof after a fight, the great impression is instantly spoiled and everything is more ridiculous than spectacular. 60%

Not much. Naive, with hardly story, and very cheap and dull visuals with a grey filter, so you couldn't even see much blood. The tension and atmosphere don’t work at all, the pace is slow, not much is even said, so apart from the main hero, there's not much to praise. I was expecting a lot more carnage, this is a very light and low impact. 50%

It is impossible to avoid a slight disappointment, because it is far from being a survival drama with a bear as I suppose we all thought. The bear is only here for 15 minutes, it looks very nice and the brutal attack on the tent has a perfect atmosphere, and the beautiful representation of human entrails is a pleasure, but that's all. At least the film has beautiful scenery, is decently shot, and even though mostly nothing happens, it doesn't bore and leaves you in anticipation. IT was nice the likeable couple were nicely equipped (first-aid kit, bear spray, flares), the mysterious stranger was pretty freaky, but that he didn't show up in the film anymore I take as a big minus, the guy could have caused a decent mess. The finale was more or less not even there, it ends unfinished and I hate that. But 60%, and the build up to a fourth star was there, but I can’t forgive the ending with no duel, no fights and no climax.

I loved this. Wicker Man is definitely a rarity that surprises the viewer even today after several years. A policeman arrives on an island to investigate the disappearance of a little girl, but everyone on the island is in denial and no one is willing to reveal anything. As time goes on very strange things happen on the island, and this one suits me perfectly. The strange inhabitants, the strange traditions, the nice final twist and especially the eagerness and unpredictability accompanying the whole film keeps the viewer constantly on the lookout. One of the few older films that doesn't use shameful effects and the impact on the viewer is very strong. 75%

I'm satisfied. Gunman is a decent action genre film, not bringing anything new, but it's great to watch thanks to the perfect cast, the solid R-rated action, the nice location and an interesting story. The only thing I would criticize is that the film doesn't maintain a nonstop adrenaline pace and lacks a decent twist, but there is no danger of boredom. The final knife duel and the disposal in the building is a treat, and Sean Penn is excellent here. Definitely only for fans of the genre, let the others polish their balls with Birdman. 75%

A strange film with an even stranger ending. Actually there is no horror to praise here, no gore, no atmosphere, no suspense, no scares, the visuals are also mediocre, but thanks to the really sexy main character and the originality I had no problems to watch the film to the end. The third star is rather for one small example of a nice transformation that is sure to captivate. The potential given the theme was much higher. 55%.
