Dark Town tries to sell itself on blood and gore. And blood and gore are undeniably done well in this film. Still, as far as low-budget horror films go, Dark Town is a “3-out-of-10” also-ran. It never reaches the heights of the better middle-of-the-road, “5-out-of-10” films. And it never sinks as low as the worst of the worst – in part because of some decent acting performances. […]
This Canadian drama aims for horror, suspense, and eroticism – but it does not really achieve any of those.
While it is a very good-looking, well-produced film with a good cast and a mesmerising performance by its female lead, it unfortunately feels a little bit style-over-substance and its plot falls mostly flat. […]
Micheal Almereyda’s Nadja, produced by David Lynch, is a rather odd vampire film with a fair amount of hidden and deadpan humour. With its unusual humour and its experimental visual style, this black & white film will probably not be to everyone’s taste. […]
This is a very sub-par vampire film from the people at The Asylum. In some departments of this production there seems to have been enough talent that would have allowed to produce a solid B-movie, but bad writing, a bulging back-story, and a convoluted plot mean that this film turned out very messy instead. […]
This film is not particularly bad, but due to a lack of suspense and decent characters it falls mostly flat, in spite of some funny lines and ideas. […]
A somewhat faithful Carmilla-adaptation by Hammer; and not a bad film, even if it is not exactly riveting. […]
Temptation is an honest attempt to produce a decent B-movie. Many of the cast and crew put a lot of effort into this, and I like the premise and some of the ideas in this film, but an unpolished script, a small budget, and a relative lack of experience lead to a result that on the whole is not really satisfying. […]
A European 1970s peculiarity that you can easily give a miss. Despite some nice stylistic and atmospheric elements, this film has nothing of interest to offer. […]
One of Jesús Franco’s many sexploitation films, this German-Spanish co-production is quite a sorry affair full of plot holes and inconsistencies. There is very little of interest in this film, unless you are looking for inspiration to redecorate a room in a ‘70s fashion (and primarily in red). So, unless you are an interior designer, I suggest you pass this one up. […]
