Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror

July 28, 2008
Death Note is one of the most popular franchises to come out of Japan in a while with the original manga, an anime series and two live action films to its name, all of which have had rave reviews around the world. This is the first of the two movies and although there are some major changes to the plot in places, it does remain a great story.

In the film Light Yagami discovers a Death Note, a notebook used by Shinigami (Gods of Death) to kill people. Light uses this Death Note to begin ridding the world of criminals in order to create his perfect world. Meanwhile the Japanese police are approached by the mysterious but brilliant detective L who has a plan too capture the anonymous killer known as Kira.

I love these movies, some of the best Horror around.
BUT THESE FILMS ARE STILL CUT.. the running time given here and on the box is wrong, these times are the American edtions, if you watch the films you will see they are shorter than the time given on the box, altogether around 30 minutes in total {4/5 minutes each film}.
Plus there is no three-d glasses..

Still worth getting though.

Pan's Labyrinth (2 Disc Set) [2006]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
starring: Doug Jones, Ivana Baquero
directed by: Guillermo Del Toro

March 12, 2007
Ofelia (Baquero) loves reading fairytales and during the 1944 Spanish war, she is asked by a faun to complete 3 tasks which will make her a princess.

Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy) uses his visionary genius to bring a dark and dramatic fairytale to life in this Oscar winning picture.

Filled with surprises, dramas and a dark twists upon fairytales, Pan's Labyrinth is both different and unique in its own genre and fills a viewer's watching requirements with stunning entertainment throughout.

The general surprise of seeing a fairytale told in such a dark and dramatic way is what makes the film so appealing. How many fairytales are realistic? How many are dark and reflect the true nature of their time? All run on the same format ... Read More:

One Missed Call [2008]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
starring: Shannyn Sossamon, Edward Burns, Ana Claudia Talancón, Ray Wise, Azura Skye
directed by: Eric Valette

September 29, 2008
This movie is not that bad, it also is not that good. The basic storyline is about a group of high school students who are on the receiving end of some nasty premonitions of their own deaths via voicemail messages on their phones.
The phone messages appear to be dated in the future, in actual fact the date of their own death. As each one dies, the death message is passed on to another contact in their mobile phone book who then gets the phone call and message detailing the date and time they will die.
The main characters played by Shannyn Sossamon and Ed Burns, have a race against time to save Shannon from her own date with death, leading them to a final showdown in a burnt out creepy old hospital.
The storyline itself is quite good although it borrows from countless ... Read More:

starring: Jay Hernandez, Luc Merenda, Roger Bart, Lauren German, Bijou Phillips
directed by: Eli Roth

Hostel 2 is much better than part 1. There is better story, better character development, better torture scenes and better back story of the rich people who kill the backpackers. Great film with great gore.

Hammer House Of Horror - Complete Collection [1980]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
starring: Pierce Brosnan, Peter Cushing, Diana Dors, Denholm Elliott, Brian Cox

October 14, 2002
Hammer House of Horror, one of the best horror collections you can buy, quite often at a bargainous price, is not to be missed. Allowing for personal tastes the consensus seems to be that there are 10 or 11 of the episodes which are good or very good with 2 or 3 not so good but worth a watch. Personally I would say there is only one real duffer 'Growing Pains' but a few other reviewers have expressed their like for this episode so as I said it all boils down to personal preference.
I'll quickly run thru the episodes in their chronicological order on the disc for ease though as one reviewer stated this was not the order in which they were originally aired.

The House that Bled to Death - A lot of peoples favourite episode concerning a family who have moved into a house where a gruesome ... Read More:

30 Days Of Night - Special Edition 2 DVD set with 48-page Graphic Novel & Slipcase [2007]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
starring: Manu Bennett, Josh Hartnett, Joel Tobeck, Melissa George, Danny Huston
directed by: David Slade

April 14, 2008
I was expecting this to be a load of rubbish but have to say it was awesome!!
Don't worry about the fact its based on a comic book as you don't need to be a reader of the comic to follow what the film is about.
This is the best vampire film I have ever seen (excluding Coppola's Dracula).
The stereotypical image of a vampire has truely been turned on its head & the creators have done to vamps what 28 days did to zombies. After all vampires are predators & there is nothing romantic about them.
The special effects are fantastic & the film is full of gore for avid horror fans.

The Devil Rides Out [1968]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Horror
starring: Christopher Lee, Charles Gray, Gwen Ffrangcon Davies, Paul Eddington, Sarah Lawson
directed by: Terence Fisher

October 23, 2006
Of all the fine movies made by Hammer Films between 1955 and 1975, this one remains to this day, the most popular with the fans, and the best production ever by the Hammer team with the classic Dracula standing alongside.

The difficult subject of Black Magic was a thorny one for the production team and the censors at the time it was made. But the strong values, great script, and wonderful cast made it the classic it is to this day.

The story based on Dennis Wheatley's classic novel has been pared down to a simple storyline involving a group of five friends, Duc de Richleau (Christopher Lee) Simon (Patrick Mower), Rex Van Ryn (Leon Greene), Marie (Sarah Lawson) and Richard (Paul Eddington) who become involved when one of them becomes ensnared into a Black Magic Cult led by the evil Mocata (Charles ...
