Four for the price of one!

Crap. Blogger just lost my draft of this entry when I was three paragraphs in. Damn you blogger.

I was saying that I have seen a few movies recently and whilst I didn't make notes at the time I definitely have something to say.

Friday 13th (2009 remake)
Boring. Dull, pointless. Lacking panache or fun. Characters avoid being stereotypes by being utterly bland and forgettable. Not a patch on the original and less memorable thsn Jason X.
3/10

Child's Play 3 (1991)
Dissappointing. Not as good as I remembered! There was a lot of fuss about this movie in the 90s and the impact it had on the terrible actions of young boys. This film is tired. Having a semi-grown Andy in a military setting (why?) is just nonsense.  There is enough Chucky for me to give it a 5, but I won't be watching it again for a while.

World War Z (2013)
Starring Brad Pitt. Wow. An intelligent,  big budget, zombie apocalypse movie.
It looks great,  it's original and bloody tense. Featuring the new trend of fast zombies and even more frightening - fast infection,  the scares come from the relentless nature of the plague. It's an intense film with great moments - like the first time a zombie headbutts it's way through a car windshield. Must see again 8/10.

Evil Dead (2013)
Directed by Fede Alvarez.
Supremo horror movie. Unexpected near perfection.  Love love loved it!!
This is the best remake I have ever seen and the best horror movie I have seen this year.
I loved the original and did not think for a second that a remake could come close. They kept the key elements but really made their own film. A film which was gory, gross, funny and actually bloody scary. I just can't praise it enough. It's not the cult film that it's big brothers have become but it's a great movie in its own right. Own it! Happy to award my first 9/10!!
