The Unborn (2008)
Our second ‘Children in Horror’ theme of the night was in the shape of Universal’s THE UNBORN. From the trailer it was clear what we were in for. This was to be our usual run of the mill effects heavy, jump scares-style horror from Hollywood. The only difference this team being that it wasn’t a remake of something from Asia. When the line-up for this year’s Frightfest in Glasgow was initially announced Demented Dave and I were left disappointed that there weren’t any stand out movies that we had been looking forward to. OUTLANDER for me was the one I was perhaps most interested in but definitely bottom of my list was THE UNBORN. Indeed even the organisers had very little to say about it.
The Story follows Casey (Odette Yustman, CLOVERFIELD) , a young woman haunted by a malevolent spirit called a Dybbuk . Casey begins to be haunted by visions and dreams. When she delves deeper into her past she learns that she is now the subject of a family curse that dates back to Nazi Germany and that she was a twin but her brother was never born. The Dybbuk begins to possess those around her and with each and every possession becomes stronger. Casey is then forced to try and shut a doorway from beyond our world with the help of Sendak (Gary Oldman) by the means of an exorcism.
After each of the movies in the line- up we all clapped the movies, even if they weren’t perhaps brilliant. Unsurprisingly THE UNBORN did not get one single person’s applause. Indeed there were boos from my left. Yes, granted they were from Dave but the general mumblings afterwards from the crowd were that THE UNBORN perhaps should have went Unmade. Think along the lines of the ONE MISSED CALL and SHUTTER remakes and you’ll know what to expect. By all means if you enjoyed these movies then THE UNBORN will be for you but if you are a horror fan like ourselves and prefer not to know when each scare is about to happen then you’re gonna hate this. Indeed the only reason I never gave in to leaving and just going to the pub was because of Odette Yustman . No, she wasn’t brilliant in her role (I suppose she didn’t really have much to work with) but the fact she walks about in her pants just really done it for me. Shallow huh?
Yes, it really was that difficult for me to find anything positive to say about this one.

Grace (2009)
One of the movies I knew the least about going into this year’s Frightfest was first time director, Paul Solet’s GRACE. The fact that Adam Green who directed SPIRAL, which is an RCR favourite, produced it and gave Solet a video introduction before hand made me sit up and take interest. GRACE was originally intended to be a feature film but not being able to get the funds together Solet made it into a short film with an entirely different cast and managed to get noticed at a film festival by Green. He had taken one of the props from the movie along which made Green take notice. Those of you who see the movie will realize the prop I was talking about.
Jordan Ladd plays Madeline Matheson who at eight months pregnant gets into a car crash with her husband and loses her unborn baby. Heartbroken she decides that she wants to go to term with her unborn baby Grace and opts to do this with a midwife instead of going to hospital. M iraculously Grace returns to life a few moments after she is born. Unwilling to listen to her bossy mother-in-law she opts not to go to hospital for blood tests to see how this resurrection occurred. When Madeline takes Grace Home it becomes clear that all is not quite what it seems but being her miracle child she chooses to ignore it. All too quickly Grace develops a taste for blood and when processed meat from a shop leaves her uninterested Madeline must seek alternatives elsewhere.
The only thing I knew about GRACE before going to see it was that when it was showed at the Sundance Film Festival Stateside two men had to be taken out by paramedics after they fainted. At FrightFest there were a few walk outs but I think these were for an entirely different reason. With the vast majority of us being horror fans gore and scares only serve to make us enjoy a movie more. If I had to guess I ‘d say they walked out of the movie for the same reason that kept me from giving this one a higher rating - they were simply bored. The movie drags far too much. If perhaps it was a shorter movie then it may have worked better but it seemed to suffer from being far too drawn out. It’s not all bad though; my respect goes to the director for trying to be original and doing something slightly different. It would have been easy to jump on board and go out and make a remake or copy a tried and tested formula but Solet tried to play on a generally unused subject in horror movies – Childbirth.
Another positive from the movie was that it managed to make me cringe on quite a few occasions. Not from gore or scares by but instead from the whole subject of childbirth. As a guy with no kids I really do not have much knowledge of the subject, nor do I have any desire to find out more anytime soon.
It’s quite difficult to compare GRACE to any other movie and I suppose that’s no bad thing so I’ll just say this – Check this one out if you’re looking for something slightly different from the norm. It’s just a little bit too slow for me.

Trailer Park Of Terror (2008)
Six troubled high school students and their chaperon, and their youth ministries Pastor get into a smash on their bus which leaves them stranded while returning from an outdoor character building retreat in the mountains. Little do they know that when they stumble upon a trailer park, the chaos that waits for them as there is home to Norma a super-hot and damned Red neck and her band of blood-thirsty and cursed friends who are hell-bent on destruction.
With 30 DAYS OF NIGHT making the jump from graphic novel to movie and quickly becoming one of my favourite horror movies of 2007 I made a point of keeping an eye out for other horror comic books/graphic novel adaptations so when Demented Dave, our horror guy mentioned this one to me I took note. I had originally planned on reading some general horror comic books before watching anything but when TRAILER PARK OF TERROR fell into my lap the urge to watch it was too great.
TRAILER PARK OF TERROR is your normal bog-standard red necks in a trailer park who turn into demons and prey on passers by’s type of movie. Ok, maybe thats not quite bog-standard but there’s been similar stories. For me this one comes in as one of the better attempts. It never quite takes it’s self seriously nor does it try to be something it’s not. The othere elements of the movie which helped it along for me where some of the effects and make up which for a movie with a lower budget were surprisingly good. It also had some decent gore and death scenes which let's face it, we love as horror fans.
Yes, it’s not without its flaws, in between some great lines there is some poor acting but for a Direct-to-DVD release we we’re never going to get Oscar-worthy performances but I have to admit to loving Norma, the leader pf the these cursed soles. Not only did she looked good but her characters was quite amusing too.
If you enjoyed FEAST and JACK BROOKS: MOSNTER SLAYER then this one may just be for you. If not then it’s still well worth a watch as it’s a lot of fun.
I don't know, maybe it's just me or that I've watched too many horror movies but I still managed to find Norma hot even with the makeup!

The Day The Earth Stood Still (2008)
I’m almost embarrassed for saying this, me liking Sci-Fi and all but it has been so very long since I watched the original THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL. I intended to buy the movie and watch it long before I got to eventually see this remake however when I thought about it I decided it would be a better idea to watch this modern day re-telling and review it objectively. So very often people are willing to write a movie off just because the original was superior when most directors don’t intend to better the original. Instead I see these remakes of classic films as homage of some of our greatest movies.
The movie itself starts quite suddenly and gets right into the story instead of messing around. A giant sphere lands in central park in New York and a life form emerges which takes human form. It is accidentally shot by a trigger-happy soldier and so emerges GORT, A huge android-like-being which acts as a bodyguard to the life form and is only activated by any threat of violence. It deactivates the militaries weapons before they can take any further action. The wounded being is taken to a base and later introduced as Klattu (Keanu Reeves). It asks to speak to the world’s leaders however the president has already been hidden away safe and the secretary of defence Regina Jackson (Kathy Bates), has other ideas. She wants to question Klattu and find out the alien race’s intentions on Earth. Scientist, Helen Benson (Jennifer Connolly) quickly takes to Klattu and helps him escape. It emerges that Klattu’s mission on Earth is to destroy the human race as they are harming the planet. As it’s one of the few words, which is capable of inhabiting life, it comes down to “If The Earth dies, humans die but if human’s die, the earth lives”.
All in all despite a few problems THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL was a decent attempt at a re-imagining of a classic Sci-Fi movie. The biggest negative for me was the story. It promises so much and falls just ever so slightly short. The climax was a little lacking and could have done with a little more ‘oomph’. The effects whilst not been terrible weren’t great either and the image of GORT with the sphere behind him looked a little dodgy. On the positive side I felt that Keanu Reeves actually played the role well contrary to what a lot of other reviewers have said so far. I have never been a fan of his acting abilities and up until now only THE MATRIX movies and CONSTANTINE leap to mind as movie were I didn’t mind him as much. In THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL he played the role in a mono-toned manner but I believe that’s exactly what this particular role needed. I was just waiting for him to scream out a ‘Cowabunga’ or something to that effect though.
When compared to what we would class as classic sci-fi THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL falls way short but as a separate movie, it’s pretty decent and much better than Steven Spielberg’s WAR OF THE WORLDS remake. I think this one will definitely appeal to the mainstream audience but will ultimately fall short to the Sci-Fi geeks out there. I like to call myself a geek but when I sit back and think about the one’s I still need to see then I’m a long way off. For me, it was well worth watching and a good way to spend my Sunday night.

Bug (2007)
BUG was another one of those movies that flew under the radar for me and I knew nothing about it until I saw it on a shelf in a shop. Seeing straight away that it was from the director of THE EXORCIST, William Friedkin’s I made a mental note and went home and done some research (Yeah, I know I’m sad!). In general BUG had received positive reviews from the general horror population. These things being said it still took me about 6 months before I got round to checking it out and I have to say I was disappointed.
Ashley Judd plays Agnes, a lonely waitress living in a run down motel in fear of her of her recently paroled, abusive ex-husband Jerry (Harry Connick Jr.). When her friend RC comes round with a drifter called Peter (Michael Shannon) an unlikely relationship begins between the two. However it becomes clear that Peter is not without problems. He has recently gone AWOL from the army due to tests, which were being carried out on him and others and he is now terrorised by bugs. At first it’s just a few in bed but after so long he is convinced that they are under his skin and it doesn’t take long until Agnes is the starts to see them too. There follows a whole lot of paranoia.
BUG is another difficult movie to talk about without giving too much away. It had elements I both liked and disliked. If I’m being positive, I loved the fact the movie made me feel paranoid from the beginning. I also felt that the gore was good with one moment in particular that was quite cringeworthy although for me there wasn’t enough of the red stuff to be seen. Another thing I thought that worked well was the fact that there were very few actors used which made me think a lot of SPLINTER and goes to show it isn't always neccessary to have a big cast. On the downside Harry Connick Jnr’s character was a tad unbelievable to me. With him being an ex-con he was never gonna be a nice guy but at the same time he never felt all that bad either. Sure, there was one little slap to Ashley Judd but that was the only real evidence that he was in anyway violent. The greatest downfall for me was in the ending – Yes it was executed well enough but I saw were the movie was going a good 30 minutes before it was finished - Just that bit too predictable for me.
BUG is certainly not your typical run-of the-mill Horror/Thriller but some may enjoy it. It's hard to say who would be the best suited audience as I doubt the mainstream crowd would enjoy it. A lot of horror hounds may also be disappointed with it's slow pacing and with the fact that not a lot actually happens. By all means watch it but just don’t say I didn’t warn you…

Elf Bowling - The Movie (2007)
Sometimes I get the feeling that film makers are just plain running out of ideas and when I first heard that there was to be a movie of ELF BOWLING: THE MOVIE I have to be honest – I was speechless. I suppose however now that movies like THE SIMS and MONOPOLY have been given the go ahead we’re gonna hear of some even more bizarre movies. I remember almost 10 years ago sitting at my desk in my first job and receiving and email with the game ‘Elf Bowling’ but never could I have imagined in a million years that I’d ever see a movie of it!
The premise of the movie is simple. Santa starts of as a pirate who along with his brother Dingle steals children’s toys. Santa however has a soft spot and gives away some of the toys he steals to orphanages. Santa and his brother’s biggest love however is playing bowling. One day when they’re playing, it leads to a fight. Their crew, who have finally enough, throw them overboard where they drift northwards as ice blocks until they are rescued by an Elf called Lex who sees Santa as the legendary ‘Whitebeard’ who will one-day lead the elves. Santa plays along but after sometime decides he enjoys it and wants to go legit. Dingle has other ideas and plots against his brother and poisons the elves against Santa. He plots to make the elves unionise, movie to Fiji and use them to further his own goals.
In truth this is probably one of the most difficult reviews I’ve ever written. I had to step outside my own comfort zone to watch the movie. No, it’s not that I don’t like animated movies. I’m a big kid and love movies like TOY STORY and SHREK. The problem for me was that the movie looked to be targeted at a different audience. Here in the UK it certificated as a 12 which I found odd with movies like SHREK being a PG yet having more adult orientated jokes. With the movies mentioned above there was humour that was aimed at adults as well as children. Watching ELF BOWLING: THE MOVIE was more like watching a kiddies cartoon on TV. Don’t get me wrong - I didn’t hate the movie. Infact I actually had a few chuckles at it. I just felt weird watching it.
On the plus side, as well as a few chuckles the animation was of a pretty good standard and the fact that they managed to invent a plot from what was some pretty weak source material was good. I don’t mean that as a negative to the game – It’s just that there was no story to it; the game was merely about pointing and clicking. Overall, I think ELF BOWLING THE MOVIE isn’t for everyone but for families with young children, this should be right up your street – Yes it’s a 12 but I honestly believe it’s for a younger audience as I’ve said. I didn’t think it was brilliant but when I consider the target audience do I believe it’s a good movie? Yeah, I think it is.

Lack Of New Members
I have tried every trick in the book in order to get new members to join our forum but I'm left continually frustrated as either no ones signs up or those who do either don't post or spam for their own site. Is there some kind of secret I'm misiing. I know it helps to have an active forum in the first place and I think ours isn't too bad but the only way to make it more active is to get more sign ups... I'll keep on trying and post my findings. Until then if anyone is interested in signing up go to http://www.websitetoolbox.com/mb/frazzle_f
