just got back from a freebie mini festival & i thought id give you the lowdown on what i saw.
1: catacombs
Victoria is a American girl who has just arrived in Paris.she visits her sister(played by pink-yes that pink) who with her friends take Victoria down to a party in Paris catacombs.
This is where the remains of seven-million people sleep in the maze of tunnels and graves, a creepy subterranean network that spans nearly 200 miles in length.things get serious when victoria gets lost there and runs into something. she must find out a way to get out, but what can she do alone in the dark(not much really but scream alot)
Victoria screams and runs around in the maze & the film is not at all scary.a pretty simple story which has potential of becoming a better horror/thriller suddenly stops going further until the very ending which you will either love or hate.
rating 0/5
2: bug
A lonely waitress with a tragic past, Agnes (ashley Judd) rooms in a run-down motel, living in fear of her abusive, recently paroled ex-husband (harry Connick Jr.). But when Agnes begins a tentative romance with Peter an eccentric, nervous drifter, she starts to feel hopeful again - until the first bugs arrive...
well thats what the dvd says & its one of those like or hate films(trouble is i didnt like it or hate it)watching the characters spiral down into total paranoia is probably the best thing about this film but then again it was directed by william friedkin(what more can i say)& even judd coudnt help this mishmash of a film.
rating 2/5
3: 5 across the eyes
we then got a 20min preview of this awful crap AVOID AVOID AVOID
rating -5/5(yes thats minus & i only saw 20mins)
4: saw 4
due to its release next week in the u.k this was the main film,no need to review this one
got a free goodie bag which had a 'saw 4' t-shirt & 3 dvd's & some little bits & pieces
