a bit of teen horror this week for me plus a classic hammer flick and some Korean films too...
Final Destination 2-
a well plotted horror thriller with some decent acting and some great kills, the first and the second are the best of the series.
Urban Legend -
so so 90s teen slasher with some interesting ideas but an almost identical plot to Scream, Jared Leto stars before he became a middle-aged Emo and Rebecca Gayeheart who is way to old to be playing a collage girl, some nice gore and the great Robert England. but the latter does not make up for the unoriginallity of the script.
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed -
great hammer film with Peter Cushing on great form as the evil dr. Frankenstein and some good 70s gore. Highly recommended....
The Chaser -
Brilliant Korean thriller that reminded me of Oldboy crossed with Se7en that moves at a cracking pace and drags you into it's frantic search.
Typhoon -
Boring Korean James Bond wannabe, well directed and acted with some tightly choreographed action set pieces but they are few and far between. Worth a watch but stick with real bond.
