Prowl 2010

A girl needs to leave her shitty little home town. a group of her friends all decide to help. they break down. they get picked up by a truck driver. they get dumped in a warehouse.... then they all get eaten by vampires. now this might sound a bit generic and 'seen it all before' but other than the first act, which just reeks of first year screen writing student. the film turns into something quite interesting. by the half way point you will know where its going but its gory bloody and jumpy en route. the acting is all good, it looks like it cost far more than it did. the jumps are jumpy and although theres not much onscreen blood, it tends to splash over every avaliable surface so it feels gorier than it is. a worthy waste of 90 mins.

BLOOD/VIOLENCE - 3/5 - splashy blood and a decapitated head
SEX/NUDITY - 1/5 - a sort of semi naked game of truth or dare
SCARES - 3/5 - the 2nd half ramps it up quite well

FILM - worth a watch, probably only once

Stake land 2011

A double hard bastard vampire killer wanders the empty monster infested roads of america with a teenager. they meet people. people die. theres some mad religious nutters killing people and trying to rape nuns. and theres psycho monster vampires all over the place. babies get eaten, people get nailed up, throats are torn out, and all the time it feels like an art film. the soundtrack is great, its well paced, well acted, well written and well shot. and gory and violent as hell. oh and danielle harris is in it, which always helps.
could very well be the best horror film ive seen this year.

BLOOD/VIOLENCE - 4/5 - spurty blood and torn flesh a go go
SEX/NUDITY - 0/5 - nothing
SCARES - 4/5 - the whole film feels like a subdued nightmare

FILM - 5/5 - amazing stuff, its like terrance malik directed zombieland
