Don't Blink (2014)
Why the hate?
OK, this movie is far from perfect hence my rating, however is it SO much better than the 4.8 is currently has.
Firstly, the acting is good. So much better than I was expecting. I was also expecting some kind of run of the mill 'slasher' type film. Don't Blink starts the same as so many other films in this genre - sexy folk heading away for the weekend in a remote area with no phone signal, running out of petrol, wanting to get frisky etc, etc. Lets all face it we have seen that a million times before. However, this is where the similarities ended. One by one the party start to disappear into thin air. No murders, no gore (almost) and no falling over in the woods whilst trying to escape. Just disappearing.
I was slightly disappointed by the ending, I tend to like everything sewn up and explained. I guess this is why the score is so low.
Don't Blink is definitely worth and hour and a half of anyone's time just don't expect a masterpiece.
6/10
K-Shop (2016)
Thought Provoking Horror/Thriller
This film had been on my watch list for a while and I finally got round to watching it this weekend. So glad I did! K-Shop delivered a fast paced, thought provoking gore fest! If you are squeamish or hate a bit of gore then this is not the film for you! K-Shop captures our modern society perfectly. I live near Bournemouth and can confirm that the scenes of drunken debauchery are accurate. This film follows one man and his hate against humanity after the untimely death of his beloved father. Ziad Abaza who plays Salah is top notch and captures the torment of the character perfectly.
One thing I will say is that I am very glad I am a vegetarian! Go watch K-Shop, you won't regret it.
