Devil's Bridge (2010)
Difficult
Just watched this in my hotel room. What a terrible film. The camera work is awful and the plot is predictable. A British Deliverance with so much potential, wasted. It's a low budget film, I get that, but that's the perfect reason to spend more time and effort developing the plot! Three English guys go to Wales for business. They end up on the wrong side of a mad Welsh guy called Bill. He is the best character in the film and gives the best performance. But that's where the positives end. Essentially, Bill ends up chasing these three guys through the woods. He catches one and kills him. Meanwhile, the other two have been running away for ages yet Bill somehow continues to WALK after them and is just behind them all the time! This happens throughout. Bill just walks, the guys leg it but Bill is always within shooting distance. Fast forward to the end (there's nothing else worth mentioning) when one of the three guys finally kills Bill. Bill is tough. He can take a few shots before a head shot kills him. The guy is at some police station where instantly you can tell the copper is just a weird as Bill. "He's bound to be Bills brother" I thought. I was right. Bills police man brother then shoots him. The. End. Give me back the last hour and a bit of my life! So frustrating was this film. ARRRGGHHH!!!
2001 Maniacs (2005)
Gore, breasts, gore, breasts, gore....
Right, first off I've never seen the original so I wont be comparing the 2 films, and secondly I not too good with the history of directors, producers and the like so you wont be reading how much I liked their previous. This is just my own opinion on the film. Just like any ordinary film goer.
This film rocks! I haven't laughed so much at a film in a while. Its your typical slasher, you know whats gonna happen horror with the odd bit of dark humour splashed around.
The plot, in a nutshell, follows 2 groups of mates and a couple on spring break heading for the beach but, wouldn't you know it, take a De-tour and head up in a wacky little town called Pleseant Valley just in time, phew, for the annual Guts'n'Glory Jubilee, where they are crowned guests of honour by Freddie Kruger! Well, not him really, but the one and only Robert Englund.
From the scene at the garage before they get to PV where there is an hilarious reference to Deliverance, I knew it was going to be a good film, and it was.
The film then begins to take shape and each character in turn is killed in some nut cringing shape or form. Splashstick at its best.
Its Deliverance meets Cabin Fever meets Body Melt and any other gory teen movie out there that I cant remember at the moment.
If you not gonna be laughing at nearly every scene then your gonna love all the hot women that at some point get their tits out! Wahey! Watch it now, but if your reading this, you probably already have, so watch it again!
