WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I ended up writing this article due to stumbling across the fact that Janelle is a singer when looking into her for the first film on this list. I can’t comment on her work as a singer because I have never really listened to her (even though I realised …
Farewell to the Master
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers OK, yes I said it before but then if I broke the promise once who’s to say I wasn’t going to break it again. However, I guess a short story doesn’t really count right? As you can guess, these films are based on the short story Farewell to the …
Horror Director – David Cronenberg
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’ll be honest, to me David Cronenberg doesn’t exactly come across as the sanest of people. When you decide to watch one of his films, please prepare yourself for the weird and wonderful as well as probably finishing it a little confused. Cronenberg is remarked upon as being one …
Horror Directors – James Wan
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It is interesting to see that the stories for each of the films featured below, excluding Conjuring 1 and 2, were either of James Wan’s own creation or in collaboration with Leigh Whinnell. Additionally, apart from Saw all these films have a hint of the occult about them. Clearly, …
Horror Directors – Rob Zombie
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Truthfully, what you know about Rob Zombie really depends on the type of person you are. If you’re into horror films, you’ll know him as a horror director. If you’re into rock music, you’ll know him as a singer. Zombie, like John Carpenter discussed earlier this month, is a …
Horror Director – John Carpenter
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers One of the main things I want to talk about in these articles will be director trademarks, I’ll also reference ‘easter eggs’ at times. Something to be aware of with John Carpenter is that very often he will compose his own theme tunes. This is mainly the case with …
Hulk AKA Mark Ruffalo
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers OK, so it looks like if I’m going to cover all 3 actors that have played the Hulk then just like Spider-Man I’ll be working backwards starting with the most recent (and in my opinion, possibly the best). I think Ruffalo brought a lot more the role and truthfully …
Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1956 vs 1978
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I promised myself that I was going to stop writing articles about remakes that are based on a novel (yes, I didn’t know this before but this was based on The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney) because they aren’t technically remakes, just different adaptations of the same book. Well, …
Body Horror
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I think for most of us, throughout our lives, our body is one of those things we have always found hard to come to terms with. There’s always something we don’t like about it and I think to some extent that it is what can make body horror so …
Cabin Fever 2002 vs 2016
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I originally used to think this was some sort of zombie film, however I was completely wrong and instead Eli Roth had much better idea than that. Such a good idea in fact that Travis Z felt it was worth remaking in the early 2010s. Frame for Frame …
