I know I was contradictory in saying that, what was and was not good about the film, is that it's disturbing. I'll explain. The reason I liked it is because, my wife and I love disturbing and controversial movies. Now, what's no so good, is that, it's based on a true story. In our opinions, that makes the movie that much better, but it makes you wonder, how could some one do something like this. Stephen King said it best, "It's the dark-side-of-the-moon version of Stand By Me." This movie is a must see. Jack Ketchum has a great way of showing you the dark side of people, and what some people are capable of doing. If you like the movie and want some more, check out The Lost. It's another movie by Ketchum based on a true story, and also disturbing. My wife and I highly recommend this movie.
What's great about it: It's very disturbing!
What's not so great: It's very disturbing!

First of all, I was a little upset that Kevin Gage (who is one of my favorite actors that, in my opinion, doesn't get enough big roles,) dies in the first ten minutes. So, if you saw him in the trailer, don't get too excited. Then, the movie actually starts off very promising, lots of action and suspense. But, after about 45 minutes into it, it starts to get a little confusing. You think you understand what's going on, but there's a lot of unanswered questions. As it starts to lose your interest, it suddenly just ends. At this point, I was kind of glad it was over, but then again, I was angry because the beginning was so good and there were things that were left unexplained. My wife and I watched this movie with another friend, and we all came to the same conclusion. The movie starts off terrific and then nose dives. I would still recommend it, but only when it drops in price.
What's great about it: The first 45 min.
What's not so great: The last 45 min.

This movie was decent. I gave it four stars for the action and intrigue. Obviously it has a cheesey plot, (aliens try to take over the world,) but its how they go about it that's fun. Actually, from the trailer, my wife and I thought it was going to be a sci-fi/horror comedy, (kind of like Slither.) But, it was actually pretty intense all the way to the end. This is where I had a problem. I personally can't stand movies that build you up to the climax and then go directly to credits! We got all into it and then it just ends. However, for a movie without prominent actors and a cheesey plot, it was actually pretty good. I'd wait for it to drop in price, then check it out.
What's great about it: The pace and intensity.
What's not so great: The ending.

Don't buy this set, it's a rip off!!! First of all, it's in english on the cover but every single movie is in spanish?! Then, as I tried to give a couple of them a chance, they were so poorly done I coudn't even watch them. B movie doesn't come close, more like D movie! So, unless you want to read your way through a series of the worst movies ever made, I'd skip this if I were you.
What's great about it: Nothing!
What's not so great: The fact that I wasted money on it!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My wife and I loved this movie. Disturbing, twisted, funny, and lots of gore! The Italians are brilliant when it comes to horror movies. If you love a good gore flick, you'll love this. It'll get inside you're head for days. BUY IT!!!
What's great about it: Plot, gore/special FX, and intensity!
What's not so great: The acting could have been better.

This movie was spectacular! Whether you buy the 2-disc special edition (as I did,) the single disc or Blu-ray, you won't be disappointed. You would have to be a very dull and negative person not to like this movie. This movie draws you in, not just to Benjamins life, but all those around him. A very compelling saga that will have you laughing and crying. A definite must own! Trust me, you'll won't to watch it more than once. Enjoy!
What's great about it: The movie, start to finish!
What's not so great: Nothing!

I've read and heard a lot of mixed reviews about this movie. Some people loved it, others hated it. All I can say is, my wife and I saw it in the theater and loved it! If you're a fan of Frank Miller's work, graphic novels and movies, then I think you'll love this movie. It's not as good as Sin City or 300, but it's still good. It's also meant to be an action/comedy, which is why I think a lot of people didn't like it or understand it. Samuel Jackson was hilarious. This movie's not as dark as some of his other movies. If you go into it with that perspective, and watch it for what it is, (an action/comedy,) then I think you'll like it, especially if you're a Samuel Jackson fan, like we are. So, I recommend it and hope this review was helpful.
What's great about it: Very artistic.
What's not so great: The humor was a bit cheesey at times.

This movie was absolutely relentless! My wife and I loved it. I hope I don't spoil anything with this comment, but it was reminiscent of Jason and Michael Myers in that the villain never says a word and never shows his face. This is a good old fashion American slasher film! Of course the plots the same (crazy guy runs around killing people,) but that's what a slasher film is. It's how they go about it that differs one from another. And this one had imagination and lots of gore! If you're like us, and you love a good gore flick, you're in for a ride! The acting was great. The special FX were great. My only negative comment was that it could've had a better ending, (but that's just my opinion.) We loved it and say, BUY IT!
What's great about it: Fast paced, intense, and lots of gore!
What's not so great: The ending could have been better.

This movie was terrific! Excellent plot, great intrigue, great acting, and a fantastic ending. In this day and age, it seems like good endings are hard to come by. But, this movie nailed it! This was the kind of movie, like The Others, where at the end of the movie you're saying, "Whoa! I gotta watch that again!" There's even a guy on here that wrote a review saying he would recommend it to a friend, and he doesn't even like horror movies. That means, for all those like my wife and I that love horror movies, you're really going to like it. I say buy it, it's a sure thing!
What's great about it: The plot.
What's not so great: Nothing!

You don't have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy this movie, although my wife and I are. In fact, if you're not a wrestling fan and think it's fake, you should definitely watch this movie to see exactly what these great athletes go through. People who are not fans of wrestling brush it off as fake. Wrestling is staged sports entertainment, not fake! The torture these men and women put their bodies through, 300 days out of the year, for their fans is everything but fake. This includes retired wrestlers, like Mickey Rourke's character, who refuse to quit for their fans. This movie is practically a documentary for those wrestlers. Mickey Rourke does a supurb acting job and was actually coached by many Hall of Famers, such as, Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, and others. My only negative comment was the ending. My wife and I thought Darren Aronofsky could have concluded it a little better. (But that's just our opinion.) So, for all you wrestling fans, don't hesitate, BUY THIS MOVIE!!! For all those who don't like wrestling, I say watch it anyway. It may just give you a different perspective on this great industry and the wonderful forgotten greats that built it.
What's great about it: Mickey Rourke's performance.
What's not so great: The ending could have been better.
