Virus (1980)
A trashy horror gore classic
I'm getting rather sick of seeing uncomplimentary reviews of this truly classic gorefest. Yes it does contain poor acting, yes it is a cheap rip off of some of the genres other classic titles, yes it does contain stock footage, yes it is low budget, yes it does contain moments of pointlessness and yes it is pure cheese! I'm unsure what some of the unhappy viewers were expecting when they got this film as it is obviously primarily a zombie film that is fast paced with absolutely loads of blood guts and gore practically all the way through the film. If you want an in depth meaningful life affirming film then look elsewhere. If however you want a highly entertaining fast paced ultra bloody zombie gore film that doesn't let up its relentless assault on the senses until the final reel then wait no longer.
Cry Wolf (2005)
Somewhat expected teen horror
I purchased this DVD from ebay acting on a recommendation from a co worker and fellow horror fan at Blockbusters. After receiving and viewing the film i'm at a loss as to explain why the hell he thought i would be at all enthusiastic! I never ever liked the tedious teen friendly modern day horrorlite slashers such as I Know What You Did Last Summer or the terrible television friendly type horrors such as Scream. These stupid no blood or guts suspense less glossy wimpy mainstream flicks are in my opinion practically worthless. Therefore while Cry Wolf isn't quite as banal as the aforementioned, it still fails on providing a number of crucial requirements such as interesting characters, any blood or gore or even a romotely interesting or believable story. Still having been quite critical i must say in its defence, Cry Wolf does have an OK twist ending and some of the actors/actresses are quite pleasing to watch in a baser kind of way.
