Creepshow is an anthology that owes much of its atmosphere to EC comics of yore. With the minds of Stephen King and George Romero teaming up, you know the chills will be plenty but there is a healthy dose of black comedy that lightens the proceedings and adds up to one of the best horror anthology films around.
The story of a man who doesn't believe in the afterlife/supernatural and decides to provoke demons. It ends about as well as you'd expect and while the found footage style may turn off some viewers, Possession is a high quality horror flick that will leave you at least a little bit creeped out.
As a sequel to Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal does not quite hold up. However, if you can take it for its own merits, it's an intriguing film that, while not amazing, is more than worth your time.
The previous two Jurassic Park sequels, while decent, were nothing special. Jurassic World, on the other hand, is a highly entertaining ride. Plenty of dinosaur action mixed with the occasional dash of humor makes for a really good time.
Ace Ventura is a doofus, that is first and foremost. These films both do a good just showing that but they also make you like him, or at least look forward to seeing what he'll do next. As in a lot of cases, the original is better than the sequel but both have plenty of over the top stupidity that is quite entertaining. Don't expect subtle comedy or any sort of slick underlying tone, but if you want two 90 minute laughers, pick these up.
Pet Sematary to a degree is what you'd expect from a Stephen King adaptation. A supernatural force, ominous situations, and interesting characters are all present. The movie has an oppressive atmosphere that lets you know things will definitely go wrong, and soon. The plot is pretty good but nothing too unpredictable. Overall, it has the feel of an 80's/early 90's horror flick and if you're into that sort of thing, give this one a try.
Like their first EP Zombie, TDWP's Space EP is based on the concept spelled out in the title. Space is not a concept album with a continuous story but the songs all revolve around space based disasters. Musically, it doesn't seem as fresh as Zombie but it's in line with their sound from the last two LP releases. If you enjoy Dead Throne and/or 8:18 then definitely give this a listen.
The sound on TDG is definitely a little dated, which is to be expected for an album from the early 2000s. It's a solid meshing of hard and relatively soft dynamics. The lyrics are a little predictable and don't break any new ground but it's a good listen if you like the genre.
DOFP is a very good movie. The melding of two sets of X-Men was pulled off well and the plot was as solid as can be for a film about time travel. That said, the additional scenes in the Rogue Cut, while not bad, don't add much to the experience. Still, if you haven't purchased the theatrical version, I recommend the Rogue Cut.
I was a little surprised by the tone of the film, which is a bit more campy than I was expecting. That isn't to say it's a comedy but there is a sense of playfulness. Overall, the acting was pretty decent and there were a couple creepy parts. The werewolf make-up wasn't the best but it was passable and didn't take too much away from the movie. I'd recommend the film to most horror fans but don't expect a masterpiece.
