This was the second "Tales From The Crypt" film, released only a year after the first, the excellent "Demon Knight" with Billy Zane and William Sadler. That film was truly an excellent start, but I think they rushed it a bit by throwing this one out less than a year later. The Crypt Keeper needs to rest too...

And maybe if this film hadn't failed at the box office, we might have got another season out of the show. At this stage, it was still running strong, with guest actors like Ewan McGreggor and Joe Pesci. Anyhow, yeah, the movie.

What's evident from the start is that Bordello of Blood is totally tongue-in-cheek. It's all slapstick humour, witty/sharp lines, there's nothing serious here - no room for any of the trademark Crypt horror or tension from the first. It's about a placid detective (Dennis Miller, kickin ass I must say) investigating the disappearance of some horny young fella (played by clearly-not-a-teen-anymore Corey Feldman - haha, he's in a movie again!) which leads him to some kind of vampire brothel where the girls don't just take your money, they bleed you dry! From the trailer I had my doubts about Dennis Miller, but I must say he's rather charismatic as the sarcastic sleazebag Detective Rafe Guttman. He doesn't show too much depth, but that's not what this films about, he's just there to keep you smirking away. Chris Sarandon plays some cop.. I don't remember who he is, but his name sounds familiar. Hey, look, it's Corey Feldman!! I'm glad to see he's getting a role in something decent in the 90s, but this guy was.. well, really crap. Maybe it's just how his character was written, but come on, Corey. Ya gotta stop sucking if you want more roles like The Lost Boys. Get your own adult animated comedy or something, just forget about the past. You're too old to be playing The Kid Who Killed Jason in Friday the 13th Part 4 by now. The female stars are the vampires, including supermodel Angie Evahart, and there's a solid main performance by Erika Eliniak, Corey Feldman's sister - but ya gotta wonder why Corey's parents aren't too concerned about his disappearance. Why does his sister have to cover his ass? Also present is Tales From The Crypt veteran William Sadler. Ya gotta love this guy for his devotion! He's appeared in more than one episode (I think), and both films by now! Although he was just a mummy, and I don't remember him, it kicks ass that he's there!...man! John Kassir plays the Crypt Keeper, and ya gotta love how the films are introduced and ended exactly like the episodes are, with Kassir's appearance. I know many dislike the Crypt Keeper, and I can see where they're coming from, but I've always dug the guy. He's as sharp as ever here, with his usual legendary one liners.. ("Quit while you're a-head..") Neither of the Crypt films truly captured the show, but that's probably because of their length that the screenplays get a bit drawn out to fill it. And like the first film, this runs short at only 87 mins - a good thing too, any longer would have been too long.

This was great fun to watch, and much better than I'd anticipated after it's score here. I recommend buying the Region 1 DVD which has this and the first film, Demon Knight. Two films on one disc for $15, that's value right?

Wow, this was certainly different to Eastwood's usual directed/produced/starring pictures. He is truly a multi-talented star, managing to direct, produce and act in picture after picture - not just that, but managing to do so in brilliant picture after brilliant picture. Since he took the director's chair, has he let us down once? He's had one or two silly flicks - á la Blood Work - but even the worst of which have remained utmost enjoyable four-star flicks... And this amazingly sensitive and warm piece of work is the best of his four-star flicks...

His wife has described Clint's character in this, Robert Kincaid, to be the most like the actor in personality out of all his characters... If this is true, then he really deserved to get to where he is. What a gentle, kind man... Clint takes a break from the tough guy cowboy/cop, and takes on a warm-hearted and charismatic photogorapher who doesn't have a threatening bone in his body... He does the part almost flawlessly, showing some real emotion, this a truly three-dimensional performance from Clint....

...But it must be said that he pales in comparison to his partner Meryll Streep. I had only seen her in one film before this - Angels in America - and back then, I was just outright impressed. But after this...WOW... What a perfectly emotional and teary performance... We really feel for her on every level... A role worthy of its Oscar, Meryll's 11th nomination I believe... WOW, again...

There is no action in this flick... Yes, it will bore your average Scarface/Bad Boys action seeking teen... But if you're patient and can get past a rather slow opening, you will LOVE this... I think this is the kinda film that housewives watch and cry together on their girls' nights... It is just that touching... Exciting? Not really, it's completely laid back and easy-going.. It does not rush at any point, and the viewer will be grateful for this, because every second counts.

This was one DIFFERENT gangster picture, brought to you by Abel Ferarra. I first came to know the rather unique director from his infamous DRILLER KILLER... Which is really 90 minutes of my life I'd like to have back. It's the one DVD I own that I'd love to not own. The one DVD I don't even CONSIDER rewatching. And with good reason. It's a jackass of a film. I can't go into it any more without swearing, and then my review won't get put up. Anyway, years after watching that...movie, I began to wonder how Ferarra is so known among film fans. Nobody likes The Driller Killer, so that can't be it. I looked him up here, and saw that such noted actors as Christopher Walken and Harvey Keitel have worked with him!! I was quite surprised and then I came across this one rather cheap. And I love gangster films so maybe I'm being a bit biased here.

But this one was rather interesting. These aren't Scorsese style gangsters. They're guys in black suits but their life is much less glamarous. There is much rape and violence and little laughs or friendship. The film focuses on three brothers.. Christopher Walken is legendary in his role as wise but aging family head Ray. Chris Penn plays his rather temperamental (surprise surprise, it being Chris Penn) brother, and Vincent Gallo plays young foolish brother Johnny.

The film opens with the recently deceased Johnny lying in his coffin and everyone gathered around crying. How did he get to be there? The film tells this through flashbacks which occur every few minutes throughout the film, and we also see a part from Ray's youth. Very skilfully done! The time switching happens without us noticing, the film flows so well that we're not in the least bit distracted.

Christopher Walken is Christopher Walken in a Christopher Walken role, Ray... He's taking the Michael Corleone route here, the wise guy, the darker older brother who makes all the decisions for the family. And he's great at it... Chris Penn is Chris Penn in another Chris Penn role. He's completely insane. A brutal, angry man who loses it over nothing and spends his time on screen shouting and swearing at those around him. Chris Penn is really good at this, but I'd like to see him take on an emotional character... He's just doing Nice Guy Eddie over and over again. Vincent Gallo does the Freddie Corleone of the family well, but he's a bit unbelievable as a gangster and the camera has too many close ups on him. Also present in a supporting role is John Ventimiglia, who plays Artie Bucco from The Sopranos! Just thought I'd mention him, brilliant man. There's Benicio Del Toro as the rival gangster boss. He's pretty creepy but doesn't have a big enough part to do the character justice. Overall, the acting out of the two leads - Walken and Penn - is excellent. Typical, but excellent.

Ferarra's been known to be violent and disturbing. Maybe if I'd watched this film a few years back it might have affected me, but it didn't in the least. I am now immune to offense by violence. Some of the film's violent highlights, though, include a stabbing in the heart with a butcher knife, shooting two innocent truck drivers with a shotgun, raping a teenage prostitute (who sold her soul) and an ending pistol massacre.

Despite all this, however, it's an excellent if depressing picture, with many deep and dark performances. The violence is not over the top compared to the likes of De Palma or Scorsese, and it is not disturbing, or maybe that's just me.

I will definitely be seeing more Ferarra movies!

As good as Hellraiser III/IV....

Well, nearly. I have to dock it a bit for an overlong climax, and the inclusion of the cenobites - they really weren't necessary here. We go through most of the film without their appearance, they crop up on rare occasions just to remind us that it's a Hellraiser film.

This was much darker and more serious than the two previous installments and this is a good thing in my opinion. We see very little Pinhead - he's seen once for a second about a half-hour in, then for about three minutes at the film's climax, but that's it. No gory killings and classic one-liners ("Not quite") for Pinhead in this one. And that's a good thing too, the series is taking a new direction.

It is basically set out like a murder mystery...only with very gory murders. It is kinda like Se7en with cenobites. The excellent Craig Sheffer and his partner Nicholas Turturro are Pitt and Freeman. And both do an excellent job! I'd say the best lead performance in the series thus far, and HR has always had a strong cast.

This is one cool Hellraiser flick. Loads of gore, loads of mystery, and great lead players! It's quite hard to believe it's straight-to-video watching it. However, the cenobites' appearance is quite unnecassary.. Pinhead's always welcome, and his part in this suits the film perfectly. Sheffer is excellent in his lead role, he keeps the film moving at a fantastic pace, apart from the climax which is his only letdown. Did we need him to keep waking up like that? I felt it could have been tied up a lot quicker...

Rent this one, or buy if you're a collector. I had low hopes going in and came out very happy! Nice Monday night movie!

Hugh Grant brings depth to an Affleck-ish role in this heartwarming romantic? comedy with some serious moments.

It's about Grant, a laid back loser who spends all day watching TV and getting his hair done, and lives off the royalties of an old Christmas song. Nicholas Hault takes an uneasy role as the geeky kid who befriends him and a father-son relationship begins somehow. Oh, the kids mother (Toni Colette) is suicidal and a bit wacky which leads to a lot of embarrassment and unacceptance for Marcus (the kid) at school.

There weren't many laugh out loud moments, and it didn't have the directness of next years love actually, but it was pretty heartfelt and realistic... No 4 gangster shootout at the end but this film didn't need it. Hault plays the kid who, there's one at every school, we all want to punch some sense into. You know, the guy who goes to bed at 9:30 every night and listens to Britney Spears and Brian McFadden. Ahem...

Very British film, I recommend you rent it.

This third sequel continues the series in the Hellraiser III direction, giving us lots of what we want to see: Pinhead, the Cenobites, graphic slayings and lots of blood. Isn't that what Hellraiser is all about? Hellraiser: Bloodline is very like the third in that it's all action with no suspense or stupid puzzles. Whereas the first HR was a cult horror classic, the second started well but ended up boring the hell out of everyone with its stupid labyrinths. The third was the most fun, I have to say - Doug Bradley was on top form as Pinhead. And here, 4 years later, he's on even better form. Pinhead kicks some serious ass this time, I think this is the goriest Hellraiser yet. Even though it's cut, it by no means holds back on the blood.

It starts out in space.. So you're thinking... Why do all horror franchises end up in space at some point? Friday the 13th.. Critters.. Ghoulies even! Especially when a sequel in space is the last thing the series' fans want. Well don't worry, it starts out in space but leads to a flashback in 18th century France, resulting in a sort of prequel explaining how 'the box' was created. And it's not boring either. This plot is very entertaining to watch - Bruce Ramsay is convincing as the toymaker L'Merchant, and Valentina Vargas is deliciously evil as the demon Angelique. This plot takes up most of the film, and it ends with a Jason X-style slaughtering of the space crew, while Pinhead stalks and teases Merchant with his classic one-liners. Great sequel! I enjoyed the hell out of it...

Christopher Walken's Gabriel angel was what made the first two Prophecy films work for me. This one really didn't! All that was memorable was the scene in the café where Gabriel makes a large breakfast order...

Woah, I like totally didn't understand this film at all, man. The plot was like, something about some angel kid or something, I dunno. It was well produced, looked nice and shiny, a good bit of blood and fairly impressive fx - especially for a STV film. But where was the big guy? DIMENSION FILMS PRESENTS Christopher Walken "The Prophecy III: The Ascent"... Why is he being given the title credit here? He is NOT the lead role... That Vincent Spanno guy is. Eh, he's okay. Also there's that kid, Danyael, played by Dave Buzzota. Terminator 2 is coming back to me... He was okay as well. The female lead was fairly crap - Karyen Butler.. I couldn't give a crap about them, to be honest. There was totally not enough of Gabriel - who is no longer an angel, but a human, and so is stripped of his powers. So no ass kickin outta him this time round, unfortunately, and so no crazy one-liners. He also has long hair that doesn't suit him - he reminds me of Bill (the Bill that got killed).

Steve Hytner returns as Joseph for the first quarter of the film - he's pretty cool, I can't remember where I know him from... He's been in all three Prophecy films. Brad Dourif's in here too...

The Prophecy III: Judgement Day was an alright second sequel that I'm not in a rush to see again. Watch out for Chris in Romance & Cigarettes!

Yeah, this film was pretty cool.

Like the first one, I didn't understand most of it, but Christopher Walken's performance - on par with that from the first Prophecy - was just effortlessly fantastic! Gabriel acts the same as he did in the first, and what we got here (is a little game of show and tell..) is the same guy with a little more violence and some more funny lines. Gabriel owns any scene he's in, he's the villain we all root for and he's still scary as hell. That's the stuff Chris! The Prophecy II takes the same structure as the first, and it takes a good while before we see much of Gabriel at all - but when we do, the film comes alive. Our beloved angel takes quite a beating this time, such as a stabbing through the chest, being destroyed by police bullets, falling from a skyscraper building and being whacked in the face with an axe.

Russel Wong is the other title star - he's pretty cool but a bit boring. Jennifer Beals is okay, as is Eric Roberts as Michael. But Brittany Murphy as the suicidal teenager Izzy is cool, a teenage girl sick of living who just wants to join her lover in the sky. How sweet...

It's got great effects and a high budget for a straight to video flick... it's weird that with Walken as its star it didn't get a cinema release! But whatever...

Rent it if you liked the first, it's cool.

Oh, Full Moon, what is with you? How do you manage to produce films of such low integrity at such a rapid rate? The puppets are cool in this film, but the human actors are completely lifeless.

The plot is basically the exact same as the first Puppet Master film - a bunch of people go to the mansion, and the puppets kill them in gory ways. Though... C'mon. They're puppets! I think if this bunch of sorry people wanted to live, they could kick or throw the puppets off them pre-slaughter - but I guess their acting ability is so bad they're better off. These actors are morons!!! Seriously. Two examples of this would be the old woman character, when attacked by the puppets, lying down and practically ASKING them to kill her - not even screaming or attempting to escape. Another would be the part where the psychologist is meant to be typing something on the computer. She looks like she's a stoner on a typewriter.

The plot is totally stupid. The humans are ALL dumb. The guy who plays Andre Toulon - he can act, but his character just gets too boring and stupid at the films climax. I'm glad the puppets kicked his ass.

Ahh, the puppets. Cool as usual. Pinhead there beating people up, Blade's there slashing away, Jester's there twisting his head and there's a new guy, Torch, who burns his victims - including a little boy (moron Full Moon guy Charles Band's son) who is playing with an action figure. That takes care of the cremation I guess.

This movie SUCKS, however, like the first one, and I was unable to finish my dinner whilst watching it. It turned me off one of my favourite meals. DAMN YOU, FULL MOON! The next film in the series is cool, however: Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge in 1991. The cast can act this time - an amazing feat of Full Moon movie-making!

Having seen the first two Puppet Master films I was prepared for yet another 90 minutes of self-torture when I saw this one.... but I was wrong! I guess Full Moon got lucky the third time round.

The plot for this one is much more interesting than the original and its clone. It is 1941 in Berlin and puppeteer Andre Toulon (played by the superb Guy Rolfe) entertains innocent kids with his anti-Nazi puppet show. However, the Gestapo discover it and shut him down, and try to steal his formula for bringing his puppets to live. In an attempt to do so they kill his wife. Toulon escapes with the puppets and goes into hiding, resurfacing only to seek revenge on his hated Nazi killers.

Sounds a lot more exciting than the first two, doesn't it? And it is. I was watching for things to pick on all the way through this film, and found very few.

The first major revelation to the Puppet Master series by this film is that the CAST can ACT!!!!! Yes, Guy Rolfe was born to play the clever, wise, intelligent and mellow Andre Toulon, and he does so perfectly here, bringing a lot of charisma and charm to the beloved puppeteer. He treats the puppets like his children. I suppose in a way they are. Yeah, Guy Rolfe kicks ass as Toulon! Richard Lynch plays the films main villain, Nazi leader Major Krauss. And yeah, you really hate this guy - he looks like a twisted Marlon Brando, and makes an excellent and sinister villain. Kristopher Logan plays the young Nazi Lt Eric Stein, and we're all glad when he's dispatched by the puppets. Also credit goes to Ian Abercrombie who plays Dr Hess - another menacing performance. The acting this time is superb - I don't know what happened, I guess there must have been a Full Moon the night they shot it.......

The puppets are cooler than ever this time. All the usuals are present - except Torch from the second one, as he wasn't made yet. The new puppet this time is Six-Shooter, a cowboy puppet with six arms holding six pistols... Six-Shooter is cool. We also see the man who became Blade.. He looks very like him, which is a cool effect.

The tension in this film comes from Toulon hiding out, and the Nazis chasing after him. Nothing is more fun than seeing Toulon's puppets kick Nazi ass. Well, nothing in Full Moon movies.

This is doubtless the best Puppet Master film - They should have started the series with this, and thrown the first two film reels in the fire.

Critters are tiny balls of fur from space that like to devour humans in their spare time.. This is a quaint little black comedy with little plot but some likable characters, such as M. Emmet Walsh who we all love from Blood Simple!!! in a comic role here as the police chief. There are a few laughs and there is not much gore but there's a bit still. Also there's some crappy 80s music. It's cool! Rent it.

Critters had 3 sequels... all of them starred Don Keith Opper and Terrence Mann... the third starred Leonardo Di Caprio!!! So it's not surprising that after that the series went straight-to-video for its fourth film, which starred Brad Dourif.

Yeah, I got this film coz of its star, the legendary Christopher Walken. And to be honest I'm not much of a sci-fi guy, and didn't understand most of it, but whenever Chris was around the film became enjoyable and worth watching.

Though no, it wasn't scary at all. Eric Stoltz kicked ass as usual in a supporting role as rival angel Simon to Walken's menacing Gabriel, and hey, Viggo's in there too. Not bad stuff, really. Elias Koteas plays a weirdo cop who opposes Gabriel. He's okay, nothing too memorable but suited the part.

It was a fun hour and 40 minutes, Gabriel's lines kicked ass, always nice to see some black humour in there.

The Prophecy had 2 straight-to-video sequels, The Prophecy II and The Prophecy III: The Ascent. Read me on their pages soon!

I don't know why IMDb lists all the Ghoulies films as theatrical releases.. They were all straight to video films. Same with the Puppet Master series. Why hasn't anyone noticed this yet? Right, somehow you've stumbled across Ghoulies IV, probably raiding through an old abandoned video rental store from 1993. You looked in the discount section and found this...Look at the back and front covers. What do you expect, The Shawshank Redemption? There is no need to review this film so critically. It is the fourth GHOULIES film! I bought it on DVD for €6.50 because... it was €6.50.. I knew it wasn't Kubrick material. And I was right. An unremastered DVD with no extras, not even a trailer, boasts an uncared-for film.

It actually contains the star of the first Ghoulies film, Peter Liapis... who really didn't get many 'big' roles apart from those two films. And I don't see why... He's not too bad an actor and is pretty fun. But I guess if you're gonna take a lead role in the Ghoulies films, Scorsese and Tarantino will lose interest. Also present is his idiot sidekick Bobby Di Cocco, who despite having a very small resemblance to Al Pacino (very small), retains none of his acting ability... A complete idiot who's just awkward to watch. Then there's Stacie Randall - obviously a porn star, I don't need to look that up. She does look quite sexy, though her costume, her character and everything she does drags down the films credibility, which is no easy task for such a film.

Then there is the Ghoulies themselves! Who also manage to let us down. Ghoulies III made them start talking, mistake no. 1, but Ghoulies IV takes it a step further. Instead of being puppets, this time the Ghoulies are in fact KIDS in COSTUMES!!!! The filmmakers decided to run that extra mile to insult the films viewers. Also, there's only TWO of them, and they're not the main highlight of the film, as they don't appear in a lot of it. However, at times they are MILDLY amusing... And they're not evil this time either.

This really is hilariously bad stuff, it's amazing that I was actually able to enjoy it. I dunno why... Some of the black humour is actually funny, though the script is mostly effortless. Imagine Satan's only threat to you being that he will "kill you, slowly...painfully...".

But at least Full Moon had no involvement this time. Did they? Yeah, a very bad and cheaply made film with 0 production value, but not so bad as to be in the ranks of Puppet Master 1/2, Lawnmower Man 2, Surviving Christmas or even Ghoulies III.

Warwick Davis was hilarious as the leprechaun in this 1993 flick which starred Jennifer Anniston (look how young she is!). The Leprechaun flicks are out of print/unavailable here in Europe so I had to import them from the US. Anyway, this flick delivers the goods - We get some gore, some interesting deaths (the best being pogo stick hehehe) and we get to see the leprechaun on every method of transport known to man! Car, skateboard, rollerblades, tricycle....The leprechaun comes up with some hilarious one-liners, and the movie has likable characters like Alex, Tory, and Ozzy.I look forward to seeing the rest of the series -I've heard L3 is good but the rest are....not so good. Ah well I'll find out soon!

Rated 15s for some horror violence and gore, and language

Another straight-to-DVD movie in the Wishmaster series, and probably the last considering its subtitle, although I'd welcome a fifth. John Novak (Wishmaster 3) returns as the Djinn, for the little time he's onscreen, in this horror/romance flick. Unlike the other WM movies, this has strong central characters and the Djinn took a "Pinhead from Hellraiser V" turn and spent most of his time offscreen, while the relationship between the two characters grew. There isn't too many wishes in this one either, but when there is, they make the wait worthwhile. (Watch out for "I wish for some KILLER sex" haha). Also, the opening is not simply the Djinn stone being found again, it's a young couple having sex. The first killing is hilarious though, ("Now I"m not the one holding a gun to your head") but the killings/wishes are basically too far stretched out. Wishmaster 3 had lots of killings but they usually didn't have too much gore. Wishmaster 4 is the opposite - few killings but lots of GORE. I'm telling ya, this is as much of a romance as it is a horror - even the tagline is "Evil Has Never Been So Seductive"! Go on out and rent this, or if you're a collector like myself then buy it (7/10)

Rated 18s for strong horror violence and gore, sexuality, nudity and language

This third installment in the Wishmaster series sees John Novak filling in for the absent Andrew Divoff, who chose not to play the part of the Djinn. As usual for a WM movie, the main teen characters are fairly weak, but it's not them that make the WM movies good, it's the Djinn! There are some hilarious and gory scenes when the Djinn grants the wishes (My favourite being the "blow me" wish...hehehe). Overall, this straight-to-DVD flick is worth renting, and buying if you're a collector like myself. (7/10)

Rated 15s for strong horror violence and gore, sexuality, nudity, and language

....is the only word that can be used to describe this amazing 6 hour long TV-Movie from the pen of the master horror and drama writer Stephen King. I watched it over 3 days. This is not so much a horror, but more of a drama. A very long, slow-moving drama with truly lovable characters and some amazing performances by: Gary Sinise as Stu Redman - his character stuck in my head from the start. He kicked ass. Jamey Sheridan was a delightfully evil figure as Randall Flagg. Matt Frewer as TrashMan was funny at times, and scary at times. Adam Stroke was very likeable as Larry Underwood. And my favourite were the duo of Rob Lowe and Bill Fagerbakke as Nick Andros and Tom Cullen. This review doesn't do the movie justice of course, but all I can say is see it for yourself. You'll love it. It's the most touching drama I've ever seen, next to (also Stephen King's) The Green Mile. 10/10

Rated 15s for horror violence and sexuality

This low budget classic was made in 1980 and stars Dee Wallace Stone, who we all know and love from movies such as "Critters" and Stephen King's "Cujo". I can't give plot details as it would probably spoil it. There's werewolves. And lots of em. This flick has an ending to remember, some talented acting, gore, full frontal nudity, and some black humour in there too. Some people think of The Howling as a comedy - I don't know why! I saw it as a horror with one or two jokes in there. I recommend this, but please stay away from its first of many sequels, "Howling II". It's absolute rubbish, and I'll review it the next time I see it. Don't let the fact that it stars Christopher Lee make you want to see it. Anyway, I highly recommend The Howling for all horror fans, it's a legendary werewolf movie and is up there with "An American Werewolf in London". 10/10

Rated 18s for strong horror violence and gore, language, sex and nudity

The third entry in this bizzare series sees the usual cast return, namely Annie Ross as Granny Ruth and Kevin VanHentenryck as Duane Bradley. This third and last installment in the series has more gore than BC2, is campier and more entertaining than BC2, has some memorable characters and lovable cops, and you get to see 12 of Belial's kids, or his "progeny"....It's also got an ending to remember. Highly recommended, this flick rests easy in my collection. 9/10

Rated 18s for strong horror violence and gore, language, sensuality and nudity

This first sequel to the original "Basket Case" sees the return of Duane (Kevin VanHentenryck, who is in all of the Basket Case movies), and this flick introduces Annie Ross as Granny Ruth, who gives a memorable performance, and returns for "Basket Case 3: The Progeny". This second entry in the series is not as gory as the first at all, but it has better acting, more freaks, and a cheesy attempt at a love story between Duane and Susan (Heather Rattray). The freaks can get annoying at times, and at one scene, I quote my friend who said, "Now it's just a bunch of freaks running around". I recommend this only if you have seen the first "Basket Case", and it's not as entertaining as either BC1 or BC3, but still I'm glad to have it in my collection. Also, it has the sex scene nobody wanted.....Be warned! 7/10

Rated 18s for horror violence and some gore, language, sex?!, and brief mild nudity

Before you watch this flick, don't expect much from it. It's a sequel to "Ghoulies", which should, respectively to the series, lower your standards of what to expect. It's unrealistic. It's cheesy. But it's damn ENTERTAINING! What you get is some rubber puppets, who take over a ghost house in a carnival, attracting visitors who think they're part of the attraction. It starts off with some lovable characters, namely Nigel the dwarf. Anyway, the ghoulies start killing some people who go in there. Then, near the end, they come out and there's a carnival massacre. Some mean killings here, such as death by being run-over by a bumper car. That's about it. This flick, the only "Ghoulies" movie I currently own, rests easy in my collection. Overall: 9/10

GORE BONUS: You wouldn't expect this, but there was actually some gore in this movie, which was edited for both the US PG-13 rating and the UK '15s' rating. The two scenes were, when the girl who is leaving the carnival goes in to the ghost house, she is tied to the floor and the ghoulies stab her before pulling the ropes. And, when the left over teenager gets lost in the ghost house, and the axe is lowered, it shows his stomach being opened and (fake looking) blood spurting out for a while. In the cut version, you just see the axe being lowered. "0m55s" was cut from the original UK video release, but the TV version is completely uncut.

Rated 15s for horror violence and mild gore, and some language

1984 saw Stephen King's "Children of the Corn", and this was its first of many sequels, made in 1992, on a budget of only $900,000. It takes place where the original ended, in Gatlin. It isn't as dark as the original, and Terence Knox and Paul Scherer do pretty good in this flick. Ryan Bollman plays the new leader, Micah. This movie is scary at times, and has some disturbing killings, like (SPOILERS) the old woman being killed, and the children lighting the town house on fire. There isn't as much gore or scares as the first one, but it's not that bad a sequel. Children of the Corn III is much better though. Overall: 8/10

Rated 18s for horror violence and gore, some mild sexuality and language.

this movie, the only one of the COTC series written by Stephen King, truly kicks ass. the special effects are excellent considering it was made in 1984. acting is excellent, the two star actors are excellent, and the COTC leader Issac (who makes a return in COTC 6: Issac's Return) is an excellent actor and malakai, the rival leader, is wicked scary. This is definitely the scariest of the series. I rate this 9.8/10. If u like this, then watch COTC 2: The Final Sacrifice, another great movie.

Cert: 18s, for frequent and gory violence, and occasional language

this is quite a different movie from the rest of the series. Hardcore fans might even think its unofficial. Gone with the awful Halloween 3, which didn't feature either Myers or Loomis, but Mike Myers is back, and ready to celebrate. Rather weird movie. where to start..Well, Myers is back, he escapes at the start and is in search of Jamie, his neice. Why? To kill her, silly! So, why does he wanna kill her? A mystery. They could have re-thought the plot some before releasing this. Acting is quite good. Somethings weird about this, Myers never says a word throughout the movie, Dr Loomis always appears depressed, or sick. The acting isn't up to scratch. Now, the special effects are simply s**t. The gun-shots sound like those of those aincent westerns. There is NO BLOOD throughout the whole movie. Funny how charachters can be shot, stabbed and run-over without once bleeding. This was given a R rating in the US, which is weird, there are no gory deaths like the other halloweens, and theres no nudity, sex, or blood. It is a decent movie for the Halloween fan. A bit out of date though, and it lacks Halloween elements. At least Myers is back to his old tricks. Only..without blood..
