Liked this in the sense of a run of the mill multiplex pic, nothing more.

With this don't believe the hype that goes before

As a last minute replacement, didn't expect much from this but really enjoyed it. Not only was it funny but it did deal with the situation and scenario quite seriously in the realm of the film. Having teeth down there :wink: , it could so easily have been a Troma film but managed to deliver fun and ...

This just didn't do it for me, looked great and was a good concept, man with sword in hand/arm but didn't deliver. As mentioned elsewhere a good start with the logging truck but never really explained why he cut that in 1/2. :? During the film I just kept thinking, bloody ask his name and get it ove...

Thoroughly enjoyed this, it started the festival off on a high note which is where it stayed for most of the 5 days. Achieved a great balance of gore and comedy. Sheep driving the landrover was a gem Am I the only one that didn't get one of these squeezy sheep with drawn on blood spatters, if so, no...

Considering this was dripping with Hollywood gloss I really enjoyed it.

It balanced the humour and horror well and kept me entertained throughout. Shia LeBeouf is a likable lead and David Morse was certainly creepy.

The car crash at the start was well executed and felt quite brutal too

A really enjoyable ride, with some great sequences throughout. Like lupogirl I was quite underwhelmed by the original Wrong Turn and so wasn't sure about the sequel. I was very pleased to have these concerns swept away within the first 5 minutes! Also Joe Lynch gave a fun and informative Q and A, br...

This was a great event and proved not only entertaining but also very informative. I'm glad that Hatchet will shortly be coming to DVD so I can revisit both the movie and the commentary again soon.

I'll third the Spiral commentary for next year, a truly impressive film.

This does look like a supremely entertaining movie, its just a shame we have to wait till April for it. While not intended, the black and white trailer did give the film a great look. It was even better with the colour version. Much kudos to Neil for supplying it in the first place and then battling...

Well, I seem to catch most of the big flicks at the cinema, agree with people on The Departed, v. good. Have the joys of the Guardian to look forward to tonight, but we'll see. I also have a real knack for watching bad films on DVD. Recently sat through something called Skinned Deep, reminded me a l...
