Død snø (2009)
Top Notch!
So much better for not being another run of the mill Hollywood jobby. As per usual, you get used to the sub titles and they take very little away from this raw Norwegian Nazi-Zombie film! I am an avid fan of Zombie films, foreign films and unique films of any genre; so as you can imaging, I was enthralled when I saw this film.
It is very rare for a film of this genre, quality and level of gore to be set (mostly) in the daylight hours. This allows the viewer to actually see what is happening to the characters! I applaud the bravery input from everyone involved in the film. The film contains shots from almost every possible point of view; dying girls, Nazi zombies and random, creepy men in tents. Well written, well filmed and a genius concept I am sure you will agree.
I also liked this film because the characters were a bit more believable, unlike those in other films where they all do the exact opposite to what any sane person would do! Great film from start to finish (or Finnish!) and I hope to see it again sometime... I have some friends who will enjoy this flick!
The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009)
Not As Bad As People Said...
I really enjoyed this film. I speak about 3 words in German and am only fluent in English, however I was still able to follow the plot of the film in enough detail to be able to sit back and watch; even without subtitles.
The film starts off a bit cheesy and very American, due to the American girls who are obviously the typical attractive, female centre characters. It does, on the other hand, get a lot better. Clearly the director had to 'get into' this film as the making of it progressed. It is shot well and the acting is superb.
The film got a lot of bad press and I heard from numerous people about its appalling content. I do not think this is as bad as they all say; it is defiantly no worse that some of the Saw films, and will definitely appeal to a similar audience (such as myself.)
The only problem I have with the film is the way the characters seem to have been written with a lack of common sense and seem to be unable to see that a large, heavy lamp will make a better weapon than a shard of glass or scalpel.
Over all, very good film and I enjoyed it from start to finish. Gripping and well filmed.
Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! (2008)
This Film Vs Zombie Strippers
Sorry people - it didn't do it for me. I kept comparing it to Zombie Strippers. The plot was weak, it tried hard, but it was weak; although the idea that injecting yourself with the 'antidote' and feeding yourself to the zombies is quite clever, I will give the writer that. The very beginning of the film was clever, it made me look forward to the rest of the film - I was disappointed though. The sets were clearly fake too.
The sound quality was poor and inconsistent. And the gore/blood was clearly pink paint and fake (I know, it's a zombie film and it's never going to be 100% real.) It just didn't work for me.
Just like ZS, this film was centered around a strip club; however unlike ZS, the 'strippers' in ZZZ spent more time talking about their mums and boyfriends, arguing and getting slapped by their over-the-top pimp than they did actually stripping - for the record, I'm not that shallow, it is just expected from a stripper-based Zomcom.
For a low budget film (especially one with a budget as low as this) it did the job, I watched it from start to finish and did enjoy it, but it wasn't how I expected; especially after watching ZS prior.
Poor acting, poor effects, poor plot and poor film I'm afraid. Sorry.
Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006)
Hmmm... Inspired but Annoying...
I liked it. Let's get this straight. It is cheesy to say the very least but I think that made the film, after all, have you ever seen a serious film about half-zombie-half-chickens? lol The major problem I have with this film is that it tries to offend everyone - although it failed to hit us straight, white, British, it did get very annoying. I hope it doesn't offend you too, because it is a brilliant idea for a film, as I may have mentioned before.
The choice of music entertained me. I have never seen a better use for "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" or Grindcore Death Metal. Yes. I am a metal fan...
This film is obviously done on a tight budget and it shows throughout, but the directing, editing and camera-work is superb! Even the close-ups of the obviously fake anus didn't look out of place.
Comedy films appeal to me, zombie film appeal to me and cheesy, low budget films appeal to me. If these things appeal to you, and you love some gore (constantly throughout!)then this film is deffo for you! XD
This film is so colourful too! Reds and greens everywhere. I gagged at points too!
Skeletons (2010)
How do you even start to make a film like that?!
It starts off a bit loose - and as a viewer you are unsure as to how this film will develop. But you get involved in it soon enough. About half way through the film is when things start to pick up because at this point, you are certain of the key plot points. I mean, not everyone is as slow on the uptake as myself - but hey! There is a clever twist towards the later sections of the film (but I won't give too much away.
I am just completely baffled by the ability of some people to come up with plot lines such as that! It is anything but shallow and has everything a good realist-fantasy film needs. I love the idea that the two or three men in the film try to make this abnormal occurrence into a plain and boring business. The level of comedy in this film is subtle, regular and does not distract from the film at all.
Directing = All Round Excellent!
Zombie Strippers! (2008)
It's Got It All!! :)
For fans of comedy, zombies, death metal and naked chicks! It has got it all - guns, gore, boobs and actual LOL moments from start to finish! Best film I have even seen?? Definitely the best to date! Although it is a case of love it or hate it... oh well! It's great and even better with booze! DO NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY CONSIDER LETTING YOUR KIDS WATCH THIS FILM!! And do not let your wives, girlfriends, whores or other female friends join you in this film because they will (probably) be offended by the sexual content. And it is enlightening to see just how sexy dead girl can really be! There were some continuity errors which I noticed - but this really doesn't matter in the scheme of things.
