1. “The Reef (2010)” movie review.

    “The Reef” coasts off the formula designed by “Jaws” and “Open Water”, never doing ANYTHING new or unique itself. Yet the problem is that even though it’s a storm of shark movie clichés, it actually executes the formula fairly well. Even if the majority of its scare tactics were invented by Steven Spielberg 40 years ago, at least the filmmakers of “The Reef” applied them effectively.

    During my viewing, my opinions were constantly at war with each-other. Was I watching a bad movie that happened to have flashes of brilliance? Or a good movie which was making some severe missteps? After it was over, I pondered as to what I had just watched. Then I pondered some more. After hours of tearing my imaginary hair out in frustrated contemplation, I came to my conclusion. "You're Next" just wasn't worth stressing out over. It's not a very good movie, in spite of what the critics AND itself seems to think.

    I can't say I liked it, because I couldn't stand many of its gimmicks and a few of the stories fell flat. But at the same time, I can't dismiss this either because it can be terrifying and at the absolute least, it is one of the more ambitious examples of its ilk.

    “Identity” is definitely a strong film, a must see for fans of horror, thrillers or mysteries. But something about it keeps it from reaching perfection. So lets dig out our Sherlock Holmes outfits, peer into the iconic magnifying glass and deduce what makes it so good/flawed.

    Is “28 Days Later” a zombie classic? Well, no...because it's not even a zombie movie. I do still believe that it's overrated, but as an adult, I can appreciate the substance within the story and the artistry put in every frame.
  6. “Don’t Answer The Phone! (1980)” movie review.

    “Don't Answer the Phone!” is a bad movie. It's a really bad movie, but it's almost enjoyable in the same way that “Blood Feast” and “Troll 2” are. You just can't help laughing at it and I suppose some entertainment value is better than a bore-fest. But children, remember that the key word is 'almost'.

    It is so by the numbers and conventional that you almost start to wish that it was atrocious, so you could actually feel something about it. Instead, we just have to wallow in its mediocrity. The big shocker is how they somehow roped Kevin Costner into participating in something so blandly forgettable.
