Its Pandorum day today. WE now have the first image from the film courtesy of the studio. Earlier we shared the poster and trailer for the movie. Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a spacecraft. It’s pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the spacecraft. They can’t remember anything – who are they, what is their mission? The only way out of the chamber is a dark and narrow airshaft.
Corporal Bower, the younger of the two, crawls inside, while the other, Lt. Payton, stays behind for guidance on a radio transmitter. As Bower ventures deeper and deeper into the ship, he discovers that he and Payton are not alone. Slowly the spacecraft’s shocking and deadly secrets come unravelled, and the astronauts realize that the survival of mankind hinges on their actions.
One of the most screwed up but awesomelly funny horror movies I have seen in some time! What a wild ride! I had been contemplating this movie since I saw it on the shelves for sale and a few days ago I went and brought it. Do I regret it? Do I wish I had used my money for another avenue? Hell no!
The story starts with naive Angie, a devout catholic girl, who is attempting to make a life for herself. Enrolling at a college quite a way from her mother’s she finds her room is shared by the cliched character of her roommate who drinks and smokes herself into oblivion, in an attempt to make some cash she takes an advertisement for a babysitter on the bulletin board outside the college. After being offered the position she meets the family. A mother and father who seem too good to be true and an adorable little boy.
Cue the night she babysits. Everything begins well and then the phonecalls start and from there it gets even scarier; intense.
Given that this was a low-budget film it works everything well. The tension throughout the beginning when she is babysitting is palatable, the gore factor whilst never OTT is done brilliantly given the money spent on the film.
What initially pulled me into the movie was the character of Angie (played by Sarah Thompson): a devout catholic when she moves away from home suddenly the safe surroundings are gone and she is vulnerable as anyone would be in her situation. But my heart went to her. Trying to make an honest wage and being as true to herself as possible she made me fall in love with her in a very short amount of time.
Hence Rick (Matt Dallas), the almost too good to be true guy who treats her kindly and grows closer to her throughout the film. While I am not one for romantic sub-plots I adored how well it was handled and not made to be cheesy yet in keeping of the movie. It served a real purpose.
Father, Jim Stanton (wonderful performance by Bruce Thomas) and mother, Violet Stanton (Kristen Dalton) of the son Angie is to babysit are wonderful in their roles. Squeaky clean and kind something doesn’t ring true about them from the get go but you allay those feelings until the truth emerges.
Bill Moseley as Sheriff Dinelli was great and you garner a certain amount of affection for the character he portrays. And lastly Kai Caster as little lad, Sam Stanton. Wow is all I can say, really! For such a young age he has a considerable amount of talent and he played the role so adeptly, he was brilliant in every scene he appeared.
Lighting as par usual is done to great effect and given the lesser budget they managed to eke it to greater effect. I loved! loved! the music, tense and in your face it raised the hairs on the back of my neck in the creepy, darker scenes.
The one other thing about this movie that struck me was how it changed from a straight forward slasher movie into something else entirely and for once I did not see this twist coming which is where the strength of the movie lies. It’s bloody strange but oh so fun in the process!
It’s been a long time since I have seen a movie that disgusts me, surprises me and thrills me in equal measure but this did!
Dark, funny, strange as hell this movie has to be seen to be believed.
Fantastically arranged, this is a treat in any horror fan’s collection. In simply term, BLOODY, BLOODY awesome!! Watch it!
I love the beginning of the movie, seeing the road that lead to the hotel is rather amazing. I don’t care how old the movie is, it’s still one of the best horror movies ever made. I must admit the little kid is rather scary. Seeing him talk with his pinky in the bathroom mirror gets me every time. Well that and the fact that little Tony lives in his mouth. I also found it strange that the family takes a drive and talk about cannibalism as if it’s nothing wrong with it, as if it was okay to talk about something like that in front on a child.
The film itself is rather confusing and making a review on this is rather hard. I think there are different ways to look at it but of course i will go only with the way i saw it. It’s a slow movie. This for me made it hard for me to keep my focus on the movie. It’s the story of a normal family that goes off to take care of an old hotel with a bad reputation. A murder happened in room 237 and people started to tell ghost stories about this. Apparently the guy there went crazy. Same thing that is going to happend to Jack and in my opinion Danny.
Now the actors. I think there is nothing to say about Mister Jack’s performance. The man is a pure genius. Period. The leading lady is okay but for some reason i have trouble believing in her character. She doesn’t seem like a real person to me. As for Danny I think the kid is bloody brilliant. The way he talks and the voice he has when Tony talks to him is just not something you would expect in a kid.
In light of the release of the new Friday the 13th movie, as well as the fact that today is Friday the 13th, I decided to re-release an old video of mine with my favorite kills from the series. The video was originally taken down because of a sex scene at the end, so I simply edited that scene out and trimmed a couple spots in the video to make it better and more Youtube friendly. Happy Friday the 13th, and Enjoy!
This is a video with some of the scariest movie scenes. This is going to be the first in a series so if you like it then check back every once in awhile for a new one.
