Night of the Living Dead (2006), a review by addicted2dvd

Night of the Living Dead (2006)
In this all new 3-D remake of the popular 1968 horror classic, Barb and her brother Johnny arrive late for the burial of their aunt and walk straight into a nightmare!

My Thoughts:
While not terrible... this has to be my least favorite version of Night of the Living Dead. I found I really didn't care for any of the characters. And I just couldn't get into the storyline they put to this version. I also think they could have went heavier on the blood and gore. It was pretty minimal considering it is a zombie movie. Really... the more I sit here thinking about it as I type this... the less I enjoyed it. As I am having a hard time trying to think of what I did enjoy about it. This is one that I don't think I would bother getting on DVD.

The Greatest Show on Earth, a review by Rich

Academy Award Best Picture winner 1952

The Greatest Show on Earth





How did this beat High Noon to the best picture?
Clearly made for the big screen, the cast of thousands and multiple scenes within one would no doubt have been better to watch in the cinema. It does come across rather lack-lustre and dated, and I was underwhelmed by Heston as the lead.
By far the best part of the film was watching the real circus performers, both human and animals, totally spectacular performances and something that must have been amazing to see live, in truth I would have preferred watching them without the piss poor editing and wet dialogue of the movie itself.
The worst part besides the corny acting, the appalling 'train crash' scene, Hornby must have been rubbing his hands together!
Seen once, you'd have to be a clown to see it twice

Fear Itself Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

11. The Spirit Box
When two suburban high school girls try to contact a dead classmate via a board game, they receive an unexpected message from beyond the grave.
Director: Rob Schmidt ("Masters of Horror," Wrong Turn)

Stars:
Anna Kendrick
Martin Donovan
Jessica Parker Kennedy
Mark Pellegrino
Samantha Hill
Teresa Hung

My Thoughts:
This is a Halloween episode! Which I found odd since according to the cover art the last episode in the set (The Circle) is a Halloween episode. So either there is 2 Halloween episodes in this set... or the misprinted the cover art for the last episode. Though this one... only the opening scene takes place on Halloween night. This is another episode I enjoyed quite a bit. I liked how they did the ending. I thought I knew what the end twist was... and no sooner as they were revealing it... they twisted it again.

My Rating:
