Chocolate, a review by addicted2dvd

Chocolate
Jamie ('Henry Thomas' of GANGS OF NEW YORK) is a depressed young divorced man who creates artificial flavorings until the day his life is hijacked by a series of random sensory flashes. Psychically linked to an unknown beautiful woman ('Lucie Laurier'), Jamie suddenly begins to experience all the pain, passion and forbidden pleasures of her existence. But when a murderous vision rips his obsession wide open, Jamie is driven to track down and confess his love to this mystery mate. Will psychosexual hunger lead to the girl of his dreams or does the ultimate horror await the lonely man who tastes someone else's chocolate?

'Matt Frewer' (DAWN OF THE DEAD) co-stars in this sexy and twisted shocker written and directed by MASTERS OF HORROR creator 'Mick Garris', the director of THE STAND, RIDING THE BULLET and THE SHINING.

My Thoughts:
This episode... although pretty good... is not one I would call a favorite. The idea of experiencing someone else's sense is a bit on the weird side to me personally. The horror in this one is kept low-key. Though there is some blood to it... there is not all that much when it comes to gore. It definitely does have it's share of nudity/sex in it. Which really is also commonplace in this series. Just like all the previous episodes... this one has good quality and is loaded with extras.

For those interested... here is the trailer

An enjoyable movie...though I did find it a little slow in parts. The entire cast did well... especially Charlton Heston was great. I can definitely see myself watching it again.

The third series is really great. A new regular character is introduced: Kryten. He is a really great addition to the cast. Also Holly is replaced with a female version. Although I missed the deadpan delivery of the male Holly, the ditzy female Holly is also fun.
This series is off to a great start with Backwards, where the crew lands on an alternate earth, where everything runs backwards.
Marooned is a great character piece between Lister and Rimmer.
Polymorph is simply fun with a shapeshifting something loose on the ship.
In Bodyswap Rimmer convinces Lister to swap bodies (being a hologram is cannot touch anything with his normal body). But instead of the promised work out, he really pigs out with Lister's body.
Timeslides is some timetravel fun, where the crew tries to change the past to prevent themselves being caught on Red Dwarf.

02	Marooned
