Thriller Film Review Quickies
It’s been ages since I’ve done a proper film review! I’m finding less and less time to sit down and write a review. Through my busy schedule, I watched three horror/thrillers. The following is a three-part “quickie” review on these films.
Triangle (2009. Directed by Christopher Smith. Starring Melissa George)
My first comment about this film is that it is seriously trippy. Jess (Melissa George) joins her friend Greg and a…

Murder on the Orient Express (1974. Directed by Sidney Lumet)
I haven’t reviewed a film in awhile. I’ve been sick, and haven’t watched a compelling enough movie to review as of late. That is, until now!
Murder on the Orient Express is a 1974 film based on the novel of the same title by the great Agatha Christie. Unlike other films based on her novels, this is wonderfully accurate. Murder on the Orient Express takes us on the Orient…

Killer Movie (2008. Directed by Jeff Lawrence Fisher)
Disclaimer: Total Spoiler Alert – if you want to watch this piece of crap, I don’t suggest reading this review!
Killer Movie is a 100% typical teen slasher movie. What sparked my initial interest in this movie was the cast. It stars Paul Wesley, who currently stars as Stefan in Vampire Diaries. I’m slightly…

A Fish Called Wanda (1988. Directed by Charles Crichton. Starring John Cleese, Kevin Kline, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Palin.)
What a gut-busting, hilarious, and unique film! Written by Crichton and Cleese comes this UK comedy about the aftermath…

Dead Snow (2009. Directed by Tommy Wirkola)
What are two of the most awful, horrific, and terrible things that you never want to come across? A Nazi and a Zombie. Let’s hybrid these two bastards and create the ultra horror villains: NAZI ZOMBIES! "Dead Snow" is a fantastic little Norwegian horror/dark comedy film. I heard about it from a friend and became quite intrigued. As it was not yet…

Disclaimer: It took me long enough to make this list! I started working on it in December but I’ve gotten seriously lazy due to winter. Anyways, I chose these movies each for various and different reasons. Some of them are considered groundbreaking and among the best of their respective release year. Some of them I chose for more personal reasons. Also: SPOILER ALERT! I essentially just wrote whatever thoughts emerged in my head about each movie, and I did write some very basic…

WARNING! SPOILERS IN REVIEW!
And Then There Were None (1945. Directed by Rene Clair)
Based on the widely popular murder mystery “Ten Little Indians” by the great Agatha Christie, this film brings to life this chilling tale of 10 seemingly random people all brought to a mysterious island under false pretenses. There, they begin to be killed off one by one in accordance to a morbid nursery rhyme, for crimes which they have committed in the past. Although the…

Lo (2009. Directed by Travis Betz. Starring Ward Roberts and Jeremiah Birkett)
Storytelling from the confines of a demonic circle may seem like a seriously risky film choice, but Travis Betz takes that chance and executes it expertly. Lo is an offbeat, mind-bending tale of a man who goes up against smart-mouthed demons in order to see his love, April again. Course, April just happens to be a demon herself. With very little to work with (or to distract the film with)…
