Scorched Earth (2018)
An unexpected gem of a film
I watched this film the other night and i must say i was surprised at just how much i enjoyed it. It came with a slow start but having watched it i understand why. It reminded me just how human nature would act and turn at a moments notice if one thought their demise would be at the cost of natures doing.
absolutely worth a watch. Cage is our heroine in this flick and played well. There are some laughs along the way unexpectedly which gave a breath of fresh air to a dire situation our characters face in this "each for their own" flick. To me she was likable from the start and her doctor friend was equally good.
Think the Walking Dead in the later series, just without zombies
Thankyou for reading
Mum & Dad (2008)
Pure English horror at its finest
Is is very very rare that i rate films so highly, as i'm forever picking holes at some level with movies.
Mum and Dad didn't have a massive budget, but it is a hidden gem. Surprisingly i do not know many people who have had the chance to watch or even heard of this film, which shocks me as i have a few very good friends who are fellow horror fanatics. I can not fault this film for its originality, class and pure genius. Its barbaric, twisted, extremely perverted, and a total shocker (which reason to be).
I love this film so much that its really difficult not to give to much away or spoilers (thats not my thing). But i will say this,,,if you like your horror with depth, meaning and surreal darkness, then this is for you . If you are more into visual horror then you most likely will not rate this as high as i have. The psychological aspect of this film stayed with me for a long time after my first watch. Its the only film of this genre than gave me nightmares (seriously). Its an unforgettable film once seen. and i can only wish i was there at the first showing at the festival.
Warped family values mixed with life in a family unit.. We never really get to the bottom of why mum and dad are the way they are. There are many clues, and i liked that because it allowed my imagination to flow after watching trying to piece things together my own way.
The acting was amazing the directing was superb. Please give it a go , it will change your perception of horror for good !

Captive (2016)
Fantastic idea just needed alot more thought
I watched this with an open mind, being an Saw geek, i kind of knew what to expect in the blurb but thought i would give this a chance.
A few problems i found with this film. I never really got to like or love the characters, i do not put that down to really poor acting (it wasn't great to be honest). but considering the goal was to last 24 hours alive, i had no insight as to why they were chosen, they were not likable people. For me its a one watch wonder. It could have been a masterpiece if it was more thought provoking and realistic. But a lot of the time extremely distressing things were happening , yet half the people involved either didn't seem that bothered or just looked lost in the role they should have been portraying.
If this is your kind of subgenre of horror give it a watch but don't expect magic. I have seen many low budget films, Colin for example (which was not too good) which is stated to have a budget of just 45 pounds. That jumped hoops over this film.
