More vile than pleasing

I watch quite a lot of very nasty movies, which apparently satisfies some kind of weird internal need. But occasionally such movies makes me feel bad and depressed in a wrong kind of way. This is one of them. The people and their acts are so despicable, that even the shotgun payback feels futile.

Some horror fun. Some.

With it's cartoonish characters and visuals, and with some effective gore, it is quite passable as a campy and mad horror comedy. But the script is so jumpy and allover the place, and the mood so inconsistent, that is hard to really get into it.

A dissapointing one

It takes a long time to get going, it contains too many characters (most of which seem pointless, and all of them flat). The humor is lacking, the finale lackluster and the Ray Parker track at the end only accentuates the magic that wasn't there.

A great idea that only partially comes through

The simple but enticing concept starts of good, then goes into rather uninspired poltergeist territory, and then turns to the deeper layers and meaning that I thought were fair but missed the impact needed to leave a truly lasting experience. My connection to the characters was also lacking.

Does pleny of things right

The strong points of these series would be that it is based around normal, fallible people, that it contains some beautiful haunting shots of the abandoned streets, and that the story features some exciting layers of scifi mystery. Near the end the scope kind of grew too big and lost it's touch.

Original and intriguing mystery, but should have been more intense

With limited bombast and money, this movie manages to be a quite intriguing title, with an increasing sense of discomfort. Still, I think it could have been a lot more scary and nailbiting, if the main character wasn't so unshaken and calculated about it all.

A one trick pony, but a great trick it is

I have to say, they really perfected the nerve wrecking built-up to the exorbitant death scenes, and having the victims starting to see and dodge the signs was a nice addition. Still, after a while it becomes gimmicky and worn out, and it becomes clear that there is not much else in here.

Deliciously out of this world

With her naive lines, revealing space apparel as she embarks on her space adventure through weird decors and campy characters, Barbarella is quite charming indeed. It's all quite irresistible as a curiosity. But it a deep, rewarding movie it is not (nor is is trying to be).

Some good ideas burried deep

I wonder how the same team that came up with the decent story like this, who even did something interesting with the theme of sound - although I am not quite sure what - managed to turn it into such a poor movie. The biggest problem are the wooden dialogues and actors delivering them.

Incomprehensible and slow

The fans are loosing their minds; this is the intelligent Starwars for intellectuals. It saved the franchise. And while I dig some of the unique element of these series, I still argue that this was slow, dragged out, awkward and completely incomprehensible for my nonintellectual brain.
