God Bless America 2011

God Bless America, directed by bobcat goldthwait (the shouty gang member from police academy 2), could very well be the best film to come out of america in years. a bored man whos pissed off at, well, what he sees on tv really, says im not going to take this shit anymore and goes on a mental slaughter rampage with stars of reality tv shows as his targets, oh and crying babies, and people who talk during films at the cinema. basically he is doing what any rational person wishes they could do and taking out annoying humans. and he has a nihilistic 16 girl enthusiasticly helping him. its just great, gory, funny, well written and directed and ends without a stupid cop out ending, which was a relief.

BLOOD / VIOLENCE - 4/5 - a baby gets a shotgun blast to the head!
SEX/NUDITY - 1/5 - maybe an uncovered shoulder in there somewhere
SCARES - 0/5 - its not scary, its funny as fuck

FILM - 5/5 - its just wicked, watch as soon as possible

Antikorper (antibodies) 2005

Antibodies plays like a german version of silence of the lambs. only the serial killer rapes and tortures kids instead of eating annoying people. the nutter is caught and refuses to talk, a policeman from a town where one of the murders took place goes to help interview him. the killer will only talk to the small town policeman and proceeds to destroy his life. you see the killer isnt accepting responsability for one of the murders and its looking more and more likely that whoever did it is connected to the coppers life. twists, turns and horrible mutilations of children ensue. really well acted and shot with a nerve racking final 20 minutes, really good film all round.

BLOOD/VIOLENCE - 4/5 - self mutilation and nasty stuff to do with kids.
SEX/NUDITY - 3/5 - a couple of rough sex scenes as the main bloke starts to lose it.
SCARES - 3/5 - tension, tension, tension

FILM - 4/5 - excellant film, i really was guessing until the end.

Laid to rest 2009

A woman wakes up in a coffin with no memory of how she got there and proceeds to make every stupid decision possible as she tries to escape a serial killer. She drags everyone she meets into the blood and carnage and generally speaking acts in a way that makes you want her dead.
 This film is almost a complete waste of time. its gory, very gory. the killer hacks, slashes and gouges his way through a fair amount of people in a very violent fashion. but alas you just dont care about anyone, and after about 45 minutes i found myself fast forwarding to the next death. it looks like they tried some sort of sneaky twist at the end but to be honest i wasnt paying attention by then because i was bored stupid by it.

BLOOD/VIOLENCE - 4/5 - faces cut off, a very nice shotgun to the head moment.
SEX/NUDITY - 3/5 - bit of slutty activity from what i could gather watching it at fast forward
SCARES - 1/5 - about as scary as a cup of tea

FILM - 1/5 - utter nonsense, it was a struggle to watch it to the end

Acolytes 2008

A couple of teenagers in australia see a bloke burying something in the woods, thinking its drugs or money they go back to the spot later to dig it up, only to discover its a corpse. instead of going to the police they decide to blackmail the killer to murder a man who molested them when they were younger. with a plan like that, what could possibly go wrong...
well, everything that can go wrong does. the killer starts on a little plan of his own, the bloke who molested them as kids is still a total psycho and the teenagers arnt exactly stable, chaos, kidnap, stabbings and head crushings ensue.
acolytes is well made, acted and although its got a low budget it looks like they at least had a decent camera and director of photography. theres some hard to keep up with twisty turny stuff at the end but its still a pretty damn good film.

BLOOD/VIOLENCE - 3/5 - not much but its pretty brutal when it happens
SEX/NUDITY - 2/5 - teenagers have sex with their clothes on
SCARES - 3/5 - not much 'boo' but plenty of tension

FILM - 3/5 - a worthy australian low budget horror
