I heard a few thing about this Film but I never had the opportunity to watch The Substitute. I was very pleasantly surprised. The Storytelling was quite Interesting and Suspenseful and for a 90s Action Film unusual. The First half the film is more a crime thriller with focus on the plot and the characters. Tom Berenger did a great Lead performance in this film, he was never a really big star or even Action Star but he was completely satisfying in this film with his acting as a tough mercenary. The Final Showdown was a really Highlight with many Shootouts and great Action and Explosions. Overall The Substitute is a 90s Action Highlight who deserves more praise and credit.

The Producers give John Woo a obviously Low Budget , No Dialogue Script and a not really charismatic or likeable Lead Actor (I prefer way more Jean Claude Van Damme , Chow Yun Fat or Nicolas Cage). The Plot is a typically generic Revenge Action Thriller, this Film also disappoints with his emotional elements, It tries to be very emotional but failed and why must be the action scenes so John Wick oriented ? There is very little John Woo Style in Silent Night and the CGI Blood was also annoying. At least 2-3 Action Scenes in the Final Showdown were decent. As a Big Fan of John Woo - I would rate this with generous 6/10 Stars.

Fudoh - The New Generation has the Reputation to be one of the best Takashi Miike Films, he is very Hit and Miss with his Films. However Fudoh has a Violent and Action packed Start, some really crazy and bizarre Ideas, but after the Stylish Action Packed Start the Film turn down the pacing a bit ,would this Film have a bit more Action It would be a much more great Cult Film. Lets talk about the characters which a really Interesting with the Fudoh Family and the Second Villain Daigen Nohma played by Riki Takeuchi he is one of the Best Things about this Film even though he has only around 10 Minutes Screentime. He steals every Scene in this Film and has a Big Charisma and badassness , I wonder why Riki Takeuchi was never more of a Big Deal he would be perfect in a Tarantino Film.

Fudoh - The New Generation is surely one of the Best Miike Films (along with Audition, Ichii-The Killer and Lesson of the evil) a stylish well filmed Yakuza-Action-Thriller with some Violence and Gore.

The Lair starts Action Packed with some Top Gun like scenes, the Landscape was very well done filmed and this Film is fast paced. Sure the characters and Actors in The Lair wasnt really likeable or deep, but I think this Film was well Shot the Action Scenes were decent , the Alien Monsters looks like Nemesis from Resident Evil and there is also a Interesting but short flashback Origin Story about this creatures. There is also some nice Gore Scenes which reminds me especially in one scene to Peter Jacksons Braindead/Dead Alive.

I think many people are disappointed with this Film because they were Big Fans of the Directors previous Films The Descent and Doomsday and Dog Soldiers (In my Opinion only The Descent was a great Film). The Lair is a Action packed fast paced Entertaining Creature-Action Horror Flick with some Gore,nothing more nothing less.

I saw a few low budget Canadian Horror Films recently, they seem to have often a Interesting Plot and they try something different, but there are some good ones (for example : I'll Take Your Dead ) and Bad ones (for example : Slaxx or Wolfcop). This Film named Ditched has a Interesting Plot, some neon lights and a decent Soundtrack. The Main Actress is ok and there is some Gore, more and more we are getting to know why the killers are attacking the Paramedics and the Police Officers and the Inmates (Skeleton in the closet). The Ending was a bit harsh I guess and may let some unanswered questions.

All in all, a decent Horror/Slasher that knows to entertain.

I watched many Japanese Films recently mostly Action/Yakuza Films or Horror. Score is one of the best Action Films from the Japanese Action genre, Its clear this movie stole his Style from John Woo Films like Hard Target or Hard Boiled or Tarantinos Reservoir Dogs, they are even scenes in Score who are almost exactly 1:1 the same, Its up to you how you look at it. Is this a outrageous copy or does this Film appreciate John Woo and Tarantino ? I don't care really, this Film was a lot Fun, Fast Paced and many bloody Shootouts and One-Liners. Obviously this Film is Low Budget but the End Result was really good. As I write this Review, there only 227 users who seen/voted this Film, this Film should definitely more known especially under Action Fans.

The Design and voice of M3gan are well done, she is cute and has charisma. The Movie itself is rather a generic Horror Trip , It is definitely what you can expect from a Jason Blum and James Wan produced pg13 Horrormovie. The Adult Main Character isn't much likeable and the movie is a bit slow at the beginning, the plot has some flaws, And errors. After a while M3gan shows what she can really good done and here and there some Incidents happen. The Best Characters in this Movie are M3gan and the Little Girl Cady , all other adult characters were flat. My advice for a possibly sequel : Make It Rated-R and add more Black Humor. Overall M3gan is ok for a one time watch, but its not exactly a movie that I would watch in the theaters.

I don't know why people are complaining that this Film has Plotholes, every Film has Plotholes especially in the Horror Film Genre. Barbarian has a good pacing , Decent Acting and some Scary Suspense and a bit Black Humor. It tries something different and its worked very well. Justin Long has a Interesting Character and his Acting Perfomance was very decent, I liked him in another Horror Film Jeepers Creepers which is now more than 20 years ago. People shouldn't be so serious when watching a Horror Film and complain about every detail , Barbarian was a very fun Film with three likeable Characters (even when one , turned out not so much likeable in the end) , Good Acting , Unexpected Plot Twists some Scary Scenes and Black Humor, for me this was one of the Best Horror Films in 2022 , much better than Scream , Halloween Ends or Bodies Bodies Bodies, Well done. Thumbs up.

Top 2022 (Horror) : Barbarian Smile Men

Flop 2022 (Horror) : Halloween Ends Scream Bodies Bodies Bodies.

I must say This Game is a lot of fun, Its Action packed suspenseful and cool, the Action is mostly Fist/Kick Fights , but the Fight Scenes are very cool and sometimes in Slow Motion, even though the main storyline is sometimes a bit too much talky, I really liked this Game. Yakuza 2 Kiwami reminds me of GTA V , Its more like a Light Version of GTA in Toyko , there isn't much possibilities like in GTA but there also a lot of things to do besides the main story, you can play Arcade Games (In a Videogame) play Golf , Darts , eating in a Restaurant , Shopping , Help Random People on the Streets or manage a Hostess Club.

A little bit annoying is that you going into a Brawl ever 3 Minutes with some Random Yakuzas on the streets ,even when you just want to explore The City and The Nightlife of Tokyo.

A Cool Video Game that I can Recommend.

Happy Hell Night is a not well known Horror Slasher Film from the early 90s, A Psychopathic Bald Priest summons a Demon to become a demon ( Or something like that, the story doesn't make much sense, btw Sam Rockwell in a small role his second 80s/90s Horror Film appearance after the good Clownhouse) and kills some Teenagers . 25 years later he escaped from the madhouse in a very ridiculously way (He is not even in a maximum security area , despite he is mass murder) The Teenage Characters are all annoying and their acting is bad, I didn't care of any of them , there are also many other pointless filler scenes in this slasher, there is one scene where one of the Brothers drives with his motorcycle down the stairs to the crypt , this scene is weirdly filmed like some sort of slow mo technique. Also most of the gore scenes are very cheap , at least the Villain is Interesting with his weirdly funny One liners and the End Credit Song is also Nice. So don't take this Film serious, then It is Entertaining.

I read a article on BloodyDisgusting they say this i a hidden gem and this Film is ahead of its time , I disagree. This Film looks Simplistic , the Storyline isn't very smart or clever neither is the twist at the end. The Acting was very bad even from the Main Actress. However Kolobos has some nice Gore Scenes and some good athmospheric scenes. Its Obvious this Film stole Ideas from other movies for example : The Laser Trap ( Cube) The Main Theme (Suspiria) The Razor (Tenebrae) even the Kill Scene from Erica was borrowed from the Lucio Fulci Film Zombi 2. There isn't much more Information about this film on the Internet and the Directors never made another Feature Film after this.

I can understand the Filmmakers tried something new in this Final chapter of this trilogy, they don't want to repeat the same things like in Halloween 2018 or Halloween Kills, but they were other possibilities to do so, Giving a character so much screentime who wasn't even in the two previous films is the wrong sign. Other than that Halloween Ends was a very boring Film with no atmosphere the pacing was awful , It recalls me of Halloween 5 and the character Alyson was very annoying in this Film , maybe Its the actress I don't know. As said before I can Understand they wanted to do something New in this Final Chapter , but this was clearly the wrong way and there are also many other unanswered questions like How Michael Survived , What did he do all the time after the events of Halloween Kills etc..

Kick Ass 2 starts very good, funny , Action packed a decent storyline also more violent than the first one, however this movie has also some flaws. My Biggest problem was that Jim Carreys Character Colonel Stars and Stripes killed off so early in this movie, he was one of the Best things about the movie and they killed him off so early, I would like to see more scenes with him and that his character survive would be great. There was also a plot error in the movie where Kick-Ass friend was actually responsible for the Death of his father and in the movie they never go more depth into this, I also think It would be more accurate into the story when his father doesn't die (they just Injured him) . Kick Ass 2 was actually a Fun and Entertaining Movie , I don't know If Its better than the first movie because Its a long time ago Ive seen the first one . As I said Jim Carrey should have more Screentime.

Stallone in a Superhero Movie sounds Interesting, Samaritan has somewhat of a Interesting Storyline , the pacing was not very fast and the Action is tame and rare and the twist was predictable. There were some CGI Effects but they were not so annoying like in so many marvel films. The Supporting Cast was mediocre and for me unknown. It would be better if they had more focus and more scenes where the Samaritan was the superhero in the past , however this film was entertaining, a decent Film for Stallone and Superhero Fans, but nothing special. Stallones Acting was Ok, I don't think this Film will have a Sequel.

I rarely watch Netflix these Films and Series are nothing for me, but Horror and Action and Vampires is more something for me, my favourite Vampire Movies are From Dusk Till Dawn (George Clooney is so cool in this!) and Fright Night (Original from the 80s) Day Shift mixed many Genres together Action , Horror , Comedy , Buddy Film, the Humor wasn't funny the Plot is rather generic without surprises and there is too much CGI but the Action was decent. Not a really good Film to be honest but worth for a one time watch only.

I wish they would make more movies who are more down to earth and with more practical effects than CGI.

The First two Predator Movies are both one of my favorite movies and I'm also a Big Fan of the Original Predator Character, didn't like Predators and The Predator so my expectations for Prey was low from the beginning. The Idea with Natives vs Yautja/Predator is somewhat Interesting but It Is also a Difficult Subject. What was Disappointing is the Design of the Predator, I don't know why they Changed his looks in every new movie, The Predator looked absolutely cool and Badass in Predator 1 and 2 (The Original Stan Winston Design) but here he looks ugly. The CGI animals as well as the CGI Blood was annoying. The Action was ok but nothing special. I wouldn't say this was a very bad movie but It is also far from Great , a bit better at least as The Predator. The Reference to Predator 2 (Pistol) was cute but also predictable.

Let's do it again another Predator Film but this time more closer to part 1 and 2.

By the way there is a Interesting Comic short Story called Predator: 1718 which has a also reference to this Movie.

Tiger on the Beat starts like a Comedy and has some funny moments thanks to Chow Yun Fat who give us some laughs he has definitely charisma and comedy skills. But most Importantly The Action in this Film is amazing wait till the Showdown many Shootouts , Martial Arts Fights , amazing Stunts and a Breathtaking Chainsaw Massacre Fight, one of the best Chainsaw Fights I ever saw in a Film , very well choreographed. No Wonder this gets compared to Lethal Weapon. Tiger on the Beat is one of the Best 80s Hongkong Action-Buddy-Comedy Films with a great Performance from one of my favorite Actors Chow Yun Fat , also very good performances by Conan Lee and Gordon Liu. This Film deserves more credit.

I never understood what people like so much about Argento, His only great Film was Suspiria, one of the best Horror Films of the 70s but other than that he made some decent Films like Deep Red , Phenomena or Opera. I'm also not a Fan of the Giallo Genre, these Films have nothing really special for example Tenebrae is in my opinion very overrated. Dark Glasses is also a disappointing Film, besides the Bad Acting there are some weird scenes that don't fit with the pacing (Snake Scene), there is not much suspense and If you looking for Gore there isn't much in this Film. I would say this is a mediocre Film I would rate this with generous 5 Stars.

Amityville II was a nice surprise, the story was well constructed the acting was decent. The Acting from the Priest (James Olson) was worth mentioning , as well as from the Teenage boy. The Film has a good creepy atmosphere and dark scenes and a good pacing and tries something different than the first Film, The Make-up and Gore Effects were outstanding, one of the best from 80s Horror Films. Creepy , good acting and outstanding Special Effects, whats not to like ? A Great Sequel and Underrated.

The Movie starts with some Nostalgia, The Young People in the Van - 70s, first thing that comes to mind is clearly Texas Chainsaw Massacre, also thanks to the Filmmakers that the song In the summertime by Mungo Jerry plays in one scene , I heard this song after watching this Movie. Even when the Movie is a bit slow at the beginning It becomes more and more dark , violent and suspenseful . The Acting was decent, I also liked the Message behind the Movie (yes there was one ) and there was also some nice gore scenes. Some People say the premise of the movie doesn't make sense and its weak ( these People probably love generic Superhero Movies) at the end the premise of the movie isn't much unimaginable as people think. For me X was better than most Blumhouse Movies, It tries something different ( even not really new) but this movie was definitely worth watching and better than most recent Horror Movies.

Thriller Movies from South Korea have often a Interesting concept/Idea however a interesting concept and Idea doesn't make a movie good. The Witness is one of these movies , It has a Interesting Story that sounds like mix between Psychothriller and Hitchcock, but the end result is disappointing , illogical and sometimes slow and boring. In the end it is a very generic Thriler/crime Story that thinks It is a very smart Film , the main actor is just mediocre and the villain is a very characterless and empty because we don't learn much about him. I can not recommend this Film , watch I Saw The Devil or Oldboy Instead.

Chucky has a very short Screentime (as a Doll) in this Episode, I think we can see Chucky less than 6 Minutes and again he killed only person (like in the previous episodes) I hope Chucky has more screentime in the following episodes and the Bodycount should be much higher. I really liked the Flashback Scenes with Chucky and Tiffany in the 80s and that this show takes places after the events of Cult of Chucky.

I don't followed anything about the new TCM Movie , I even never saw the Trailer but Leatherface is a Horror Icon so I have to watch this, and I was very surprised how good It was. It was fast paced , gory and thrilling. I also liked the Idea that we see a well known character from the Original (Sally Hardesty) This is what a good Reboot/Requel should look like, much better than the new Scream, don't understand the negative reviews here. Well done. I will watch it again.

One more thing I never understood what people like about Michael Bays Texas Chainsaw Massacre Remake It was ok- not more, TCM2022 is much better.

Scream 2 is the Best Sequel of the franchise the new one is weak and disappointing compared to this one. The Filmmakers made everything right with this one. Scream 2 has a good pacing a great Opening Scene in the Cinema (which is something new in a Horror-Teen Slasher) The Characters are well written and there is lot of suspense,and the soundtrack is terrific and the 90s Vibe is so cool and It give us the same thrills from the First one. Scream 2 is a very strong and satisfying sequel, sadly they never made a really good Scream Film after this one, part 3, 4 and 5 was just above-average to mediocre.

I miss the 90s.

This Movie isn't bad actually. Its very Action Packed and fast paced, I really like the Fight between Van Damme vs Jai White. The Action is really well done , van damme definitely have worse films than this. Universal Soldier - The Return is recommended for all Action Fans, But if you looking for deep minded Movies Look anywhere else, this Movie Movie is for people who love Action. The 4.2 Rating is definitely too low.
