The Lost Room

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
starring: Julianna Margulies, Kevin Pollak, Peter Krause
directed by: Craig R. Baxley

August 27, 2007
I bought this because of the other reviews on Amazon.

I wasn't disappointed!

I can't rate this enough. The storyline, the acting, everything is pure class. There's so much to keep you interested.

There's the whole mystery surrounding the properties of each object, the hunt for the main character's missing daughter, the various factions vying for the objects and the love interest, all combine to make an intriguing, interesting and riveting series.

A friend and I watched the entire series from beginning to end in one sitting, even though it meant going to bed at 3.00am!

I really can't recommend this enough - buy it!!

Afterlife - Series 1 & 2 Box Set

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
starring: Lesley Sharp, Andrew Lincoln
directed by: Ashley Pearce

December 26, 2006
I caught part of this series on TV and recently rented series 1 and 2. I only wish there was a 3.
I had forgotten how good this series was. The main character is so disturbed by her gift at times and it's so well acted. It's unpredictable, refreshing, scary, and I recommend it highly. It's not like all the other clairvoyant/medium type series I've seen, it's darker and at times Alison seems quite insane. She clings to her sanity with a tenuous thread while being haunted by all these people she wishes would just leave her alone. They aren't all sweetness and light either.
This really is worth watching from beginning to end.

Quatermass And The Pit [1967]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
starring: James Donald, Andrew Keir, Barbara Shelley, Julian Glover
directed by: Roy Ward Baker

November 13, 2006
This is a story about Martian hybrids that came to colonize earth five million years ago. One of their ships went off course and ended up in the mud. The ship is found during a subway excavation and the fun begins.

When I was a youngster many movies gave me nightmares such as "It Came from Outer Space" (1953) where I kept seeing eyeballs. Now only one movie left to get over, you guessed it, this one. I can not look a grasshopper in the face. And as with most viewers I saw it on late night television as "Five Million Years to Earth" (original title "Quatermass and the Pit".

This film is logical and spooky especially by 1960's standards. And you get all the stereotypes such as the military that is just determined that this object found ... Read More:

28 Weeks Later [2007]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
from: Fox International

September 10, 2007
In the sequel to 28 days later, the rage virus has passed, the infected have all died and Americans come to England to restore the country.

28 days later showed the true ideology of horror, and British cinema at its best, and 28 weeks later outshines its predecessor with faster direction, closer looks at characters and a more action thriller typed genre to its plot.

Following on from the dramatic ideology of 28 days with the infected was brilliant, and we start by looking at another family who are hiding, in the complete darkness. The narrative never lacks, with the whole concept of danger keeping you on the edge of your seat all the way through. Not necessarily scary, but it will definitely play on your mind. The ending with the new stadium ... Read More:

Blade / Blade 2 / Blade: Trinity

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
starring: Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, Kris Kristofferson, Ron Perlman, Luke Goss
directed by: Stephen Norrington, Guillermo Del Toro, David S. Goyer

April 25, 2005
I like this box set as i love all the Blade movies, however there seems to be some confusion. First some people say they got the extended edition of Blade Trinity and some did not. I didn't and was pretty disappointed by this. Also the cover changes, some people got the split into thirds version and some, like me, got something else. Mine is in fact Blade Trilogy: The Ultimate Collection (a seperate product on amazon). Puting the moans aside its a great box set, especially for the price.

The Thing [1982]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
starring: Kurt Russell, T.K. Carter, Richard Dysart, Richard Masur
directed by: John Carpenter

October 06, 2008
Contains one little spoiler.
once upon a time not so long ago film makers did not have computers and the magic of, say a human head ripping itself of its shoulders, sprouting spider legs and scuttling across the floor, was done by skilled effects artists and model builders and shot in front of the camera. Unlike the films of today these effects were convincing and brilliant. they actually made the audience gasp out loud, hey they still do which is more than you can say for most CGI imagery in movies today. Am I alone in hoping that the days of Computer fakery is almost over and realism will return. The Thing is an awesome horror.

I ABSERLOUTLEY LOVE THIS COLLECTION ..... from the slightly phsycotic priest to the vampire himself, the anime is well presented, fast paced and the story lines are sure as hell very varied .... i bought this to have a look at after i had just been watching some of the new hellsing series from the states. Vampire against the world action? .... this is it .... from hand to hand and vampire to vampire building up to the whole spectral entity versus spectral entity type fights, you gotta see it to believe it.

The Eye [2008]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
starring: Parker Posey, Jessica Alba, Alessandro Nivola
directed by: Xavier Palud, David Moreau

September 08, 2008
I really did like this film. Ive seen the original but didn't even bother think about it while watching this one. Why would i watch this one and waste my time if i'm obly watching it to compare or criticise it?

I found some bits scary and some bits not scary , just like we all do in some horror/thriller films.

If your not to sure about this film just do what i do , go on youtube and watch the trailer.

All i can say is just watch it and don't complain if you don't like it.

Scary Movie 1-4 [2001]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
starring: Charlie Sheen, Tim Curry, Tori Spelling, Peter Boyle, Pamela Anderson
directed by: Keenen Ivory Wayans, David Zucker

If you hate horror films watch this one. There's nothing to be afried in Scary movie. From mickey of Scream to Saw, Charlie's angles to the ring, every film has a suprice. The chartacters are finny and scared stifless. To me David Houser makes a superb job. And if you are afried of laughing don't watch this. Scary movie is a comedy horror that you watch agaon and again and if you liked Sean and Marylon Willains in White Chicks you love Scary movie one, two, three and finally four.
