Why Does My Coccyx Hurt More On My My Period

Eden Lake

As in the short critique Ruins (2008) noted an increasing number recent examples in which the horror of holiday and leisure situations unfolds, increasingly. The British Eden Lake (2008) corresponds exactly to this pattern. Director James Watkins makes in his film, the young couple, Steve and Jenny leave for a weekend on the idyllic Eden Lake. Far away from everyday life looking after a couple of peaceful and romantic days. Neither of the two suspects, however, that a gang of juvenile delinquents, the area around the lake terrorized. Thus, from initial hostility and provocation quickly deadly serious.

The UK DVD cover headline The Best British Horror Film in Years. that are enjoying such statements with caution at all times, is known. But if Eden Lake actually the top of the British horror film is to be counted, one would like to know from the rest nothing. After a consistently good start that can even come up with a sympathetic protagonist, the quality noticeably flattened. What initially made even more hope for a creative horror trip turns out to be later than the first third sucked out as much Backwood Strip. Eden Lake modified in such a beaten path, that the spectators do not even usually give great effort in order to imagine the following Plotwendungen. Or how is it that found in all films of this genre the victims as they fled always persons who are either relatives or friends of the aggressors? It seems any event, a law set in stone to that also observed Eden Lake treudoof. An additional annoyance are so conspicuous plot holes and absurdities that stand out even more so when one does not feel particularly challenged as a viewer of plot. Since it does not help that you are happy "inspired" by colleagues as the French Genre Ils (2006),.

pleasant contrast is striking that Eden Lake relies not only on the explicit depiction of violence, but in this regard is moved in a relatively moderate tracks. Once or twice Watkins actually works with excitement and the feeling of terror. Or at least try. Regarding the final assessment is not easy. An ambivalent feeling is all that remains first decreased. Would be the simple, abrupt end for itself, there would not be split between them. But only the derivation of the final prepared for the genre friend quite a bit of colic. So everything that is left after the credits only a mediocre genre film that is far from exhausting its potential. (5 / 10 points)

PS: all the joys of the British lower class was recommended to the original language.

Midnight Meat Train

After screening by Ryuhei Kitamura ( Versus ) newest facility will be one or the other big cities when entering the local U- train more than once worried look over her shoulder. The culprit is the film version Clive Barker's short story Midnight Meat Train from the books of blood . In this the chicken-like butcher Mahogany transformed the New York Metro in a slaughterhouse on wheels. By chance, it is the aspiring photographer Leon on the track. On the hunt for usable recording his debut in a prestigious gallery to cross the paths of the two for the first time then on, Leon delving deeper into research, and even gets his girlfriend in danger.

To Kitamura's Midnight Meat Train been trying a lot in advance. After 2007, a U.S. launch date was announced, Lions Gate lies immediately cancel again, no one really knew whether it would be something Midnight Meat Train . In late summer 2008, the film eventually was still a chance for an American theatrical release, and failed miserably. Both the shifted start date and the flop at the box office does not necessarily speak for the quality of the film. You might say. But the bad omen not true. Midnight Meat Train is a nasty little strip that consistently provides good entertainment. Screenwriter Jeff Buhler has inflated Barker's short story without any major difficulties to feature length. Unnecessary lengths of stay saves the viewer. For this he receives a dense, working atmosphere, the movie from beginning to end with. Reinforcing the positive impression is emphasized by the supercooled shots of the New York Metro. That became Midnight Meat Train despite its pleasant straight-out attitude is not really a shocker is hard to support many of Kitamura's comic-like production. Some scenes are moving but hard on the pain threshold, but are by too excessive splatter deposits and creatively used stylistic devices, such as some unusual Point-of-view settings, back into perspective. The cast is largely convincing. The only criticism is butcher Vinnie Jones. His imposing stature but seems tailor-made for the film, all in all, he has nevertheless an expressive little weak and colorless.

Midnight Meat Train is a film that will not take much to bring out its viewers an entertaining 90 minutes. He manages it very neat. A fact that Kitamura's film ever 80% of today's genre-colleagues has ahead. (8 / 10)
