OUTRAGE BEYOND
Sequel to THE OUTRAGE has less graphic violence than its predecessor
but just as much byzantine conspiratorial plotting. You will never look at a baseball again in
the same way – does for the batting cage what MARATHON MAN did for dentistry
and DELIVERANCE did for the great outdoors and hicks. Not as powerful as the first film but still
entertaining.
I DIDN’T COME HERE TO DIE
Short dark black joke of a film that is a variant of FINAL DESTINATION
and TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL. Low budget hurts
but gore is surprisingly effective. More
like an episode in an anthology film that a full fledged move of its own.
GRABBERS
A bit like Tremors with the same sense of humor but with alien starfish
monsters rather than giant worms. The
joke kicker of the film that alcohol and getting drunk are the only way to stop
these creatures (and to stop one from being eaten) make this an amusing
thriller. A fun film for a Saturday
night perhaps.
SIGHTSEERS
More of a comedy than a horror film although I give props for the
violence which is gory. As much a
commentary on co-dependent relationships as a horror movie with parts that feel
more like a sitcom than a horror movie.
Quirky unusual film with a bit of an unsatisfying ending.
IT’S A DISASTER
Nice to see David Cross in a
film that suits his sense of humor rather than a cameo in something like
MEN IN BLACK. Could have come out of one
of his routines. Very funny in places
but I didn’t like any of the characters (which may be the point)
