Mutant Chronicles (2008)

It is what it is.

[6/10 · 26 April 2009]

Fans of Sci-Fi have had to withstand much worse offerings than this movie. I was entertained and the movie kept my attention. I had, originally, just started it as "background noise", but had to rewind it because it began to draw my attention. I watched the making of and, considering the the budget they had to work with, the fact that they used models and matte instead of CGI, the special effects could have been a lot worse. I felt the acting was believable and I didn't see any obvious holes in the plot. I'd watch it again and would recommend it to a fan of Sci-Fi.

I've never understood the indignation of some of the posters on these boards. The movie wasn't over-hyped and is, honestly, quite enjoyable.

I think the cast,crew, and special effects teams all deserve a thumbs up.

Just my humble opinion.

Boo (2005)

A Decent Offering

I have seen A LOT of horror movies and, although not the best I've ever seen, it's FAR from the worst. I watched it on Sci Fi, but wish I had seen it commercial free. Don't expect a great masterpiece, but if you're looking for a good "saturday, don't wanna go out" or "rainy day" movie, you could do a lot worse. Do yourself a favor, if a bit queasy, don't sit down to a spaghetti dinner and pop this one in the DVD player. The editing, sets, and make up effects help hide the holes in the story line. I look forward to seeing what this writer/director comes up within next. I greatly enjoyed this movie and will watch it again without commercials.
