Within the Woods (2005)
Another fun romp through Camp Blood!
What can you say? Nothing's better than watching pretty girls run through the woods while being chased by a big nasty killer clown! This isn't a big budget adventure - but as long as you go in knowing that it's a fun and campy story - well... then it WILL indeed be a fun and campy movie! The gals are hot... and you just can't help but give a little cheer each time someone who deserves it gets all slashed up... There are some admirable performances and moments by the cast... which in this story consists primarily of 5 "victims" that show up thinking they've been put on a reality TV show. The "show" has a very simple premise - stay in CAMP BLOOD, (Which has a HISTORY of horrible killings, mayhem and random slaughter!), for 24 hours without any assistance and win a million bucks! I'd do it - wouldn't YOU??!!
Relax... enjoy it! I did...
Ring of Fire II: Blood and Steel (1993)
Fun... popcorn on the couch kind of movie.
Well... what can I say? It's fun... if you let it be fun. It's filled to the brim with well-choreographed fight scenes that are executed to perfection by professional martial artists... That seems to be the most true and innate value of this romp. The story seems to have been put in place primarily as a vehicle to get from one fight scene to another. Some moments of decent acting by the supporting cast will sneak up on you... as will some comedic moments provided by the comic relief. (The comic relief - physically - the smallest martial artist in the movie and naturally... portrayed in the film as the MOST girl-hungry!)
The score is fine but the film has a very fun soundtrack that winds up being featured on an underground radio station within the parameters of the story.. If you like this genre of movies you'll like this one as much as you would any other...
Too bad they didn't sell the soundtrack!
