Final Destination: You can't Cheat Death


 One of the most surprising Horror films in the 21st Century and it is also one of the best Horror films I've watched and it is probably one of the most worth watching Horror films that can totally satisfy anyone and it is original and smart at the same time. I normally just enjoy this movie and the concept of the film is just plain great and I love how the movie really plays well. It is normally watchable and it is scary at the same time. Director James Wong and writer Jeffrey Riddick and Glen Morgan created such an amazing movie that's dazzling on suspense and tension. The whole movie just delivers a lot of smart and impressive ideas and the film itself is chilling and gothic at the exact same time and the whole movie delivers a lot of goodies that any person who just wants a good scare or suspense just to surprise them and it works well for the movie. There are so many things that I like about Final Destination.

 The whole movie is really good and what I like about it is that the whole film has an impressive atmosphere and I love some of the shots where the lighting is used and it gives the film an electrifying and eerie feel. I was fascinated and surprised overall with the shots of the whole movie and the atmosphere is totally well used for this kind of movie and it really just kept me surprised and lately all the ideas are just great and I was fund of how the atmosphere was well used during certain parts of the film and all the ideas is just great and I love the atmosphere of the film overall. The other things that's great about Final Destination is that the whole movie is also full of deliberate ideas and it also has a strong and solid suspense and the tension is just plain eerie and it gives the whole film the gothic spirit and that's what I totally love about this movie. From beginning until the end the whole film is just gothic and scary at the same time and that's what's great about Final Destination and James Wong and Glen Morgan really nailed all of the ideas on the table and they really managed to create a strong Horror film that can surprise anyone. There are lots of suspenceful and tense scenes in the movie(The airplane disaster, the gothic middle scenes of the movie and the electrifying finale)that are fun to watch and it even amkes the whole film look better with Shirley Walker's soundtrack and I love how Shirley Walker gives the film a gothic feel and it just made my lucky day a lot when I normally watch this film and I was satisfied with all the ideas overall with this film.

The other things I also like about Final Destination is that the whole movie is also full of kills that are suspenceful, tense and thrilling at the same time and they may not be gory but they're very painful to watch overall and there are loads of death scenes that are just thrilling and painful to watch. The Bathroom strangulation death scene is probably the most painful death scene in the whole movie. Terry Chaney's death was quite unexpected. Mrs. Lewton's death was the only death scene that used gore and Billy Hitchcock's death is quite gruesome but tense at the same time and I love overall the deaths in this movie and they were all fun to watch a lot and some did freak me out a lot.
Now the acting is great. The casts did a good job with their roles in the film a lot. Ali Larter did a good job with her role in the film as Clear Rivers. Devon Sawa did a good job with his role as the protagonist Alex Browning. Kerr Smith did a good job with his role as Carter Horton and Sean William Scott did a good job also with his role in the film as Billy Hitchcock. Director James Wong and writers Glen Morgan and Jeffrey Riddick did a really good job in making a strong, suspenceful and gothic Horror film that delivers the goods Final Destination is just an impressive Horror movie that is worth a watch and I was proud with James Wong's work in the movie so far and I can't wait for his next films in the future. Overall Final Destination is a great Horror film for those who love suspense and tension in every Horror film and if you're looking for a good Horror film then I suggest you watch this film along with its sequels.

Dead Line: The Screams you will hear are real

One of the best Asylum films ever made and it seriously beat the other Asylum films and it is one of the better Asylum movies since 666 The Child, Freakshow, 666 The Beast and Exorcism The Possession Of Gail Bowers. I seriously remember watching this movie back to back with 666 The Beast. And when I watched this movie I was amazed with it and it was great. It's not the best Horror movie but at least it's ok. What's great about Dead Line is that the film has a really nice plot and I like the plot of this movie and the plot kept me interested from start to finish and everything that this movie did was just great and I was seriously proud with this film so far. What's great about Dead Line is that the film is really entertaining from start to finish and most of the dialogue of the film just kept me interested and I was fund of the film's idea so far. For the most part Dead Line has some of the most powerful moments in Horror cinema and The Asylum seriously does a unique job in making this movie and everything about Dead Line is just great and I was happy with this film so far. The budget of Dead Line is kinda low but at least since it's a low budget Horror/Thriller it at least managed to handle the entertainment and scares really well so far. What I like about this movie is that the film is really psychological from start to finish and the film has a lot of psychological and scary moments that can possibly scare any audience and the film really handles the suspense quite well so far. The psychological themes in the movie seriously impressed me a lot and the movie doesn't only feel like a Horror movie but more of a dark Psychological Thriller that will keep you thrilled and I like the idea of this movie for one reason. What I also like about this film is that the movie has a lot of twists and turns and I like how the twist reveals that all of the things that Martin heard on the phone is all in his head and I like how it reveals that Martin Sanders is the killer of the movie and it was a smart idea for a Psychological Thriller so far. While the film doesn't have enough gore and the kills are just a few in the movie this still has some of the greatest moments in a Horror film and what I like about this movie is mainly the camera work in the film and the movie's atmosphere keeps the film from being fresh and scary from start to finish and the whole movie is atmospheric from start to finish and I like the idea of the film so far. Now the acting in this film is just Solid and the performances of the casts really did a good job with they're work in the film so far and I think this is one of the Asylum's films that has some improved acting since 666 The Child so far. Overall Dead Line is an impressive Horror movie mixed with Psychological Thriller elements and I was impressed with this film so far.

Omen III The Final Conflict: Damien is back for the third time to fulfill his destiny as the Anti Christ in this chilling installment of the Omen trilogy


Though Omen III shows minor improvements over it's awful predecessor. This is still a bad film but it's nowhere near as awful as it's predecessor but at least it had it's moments to beat it's predecessor. I seriously thought that this was gonna be a good movie but in the end it was a letdown and it could have been so much better once again. This movie still had the same faults and problems that Omen II had but at least it had several minor improvements over it's predecessor. I did enjoy Omen III's moments and this movie almost succeeds to beat it's awful predecessor and this movie isn't close to the original due to it's faults and problems once again faced in the film. To be honest there are some moments that didn't impressed me a lot in Omen III there are some but there are also some moments that didn't impress me in Omen III The Final Conflict so far. What's great about Omen III is that the film has a really good plot once again and like I said I like the plot of each film. In the original Omen we get to see Damien's birth. Omen II shows Damien's Rise To Power and finally Omen III shows Damien's Armageddon. I was really fund of the plot of each Omen movie and to be honest I like the plot of each Omen movie for one reason and the plot seriously intrigued me but the sequels could have done better for one reason. What I also like about Omen III is that the film also has an impressive soundtrack from composer Jerry Goldsmith and I like how Jerry Goldsmith composed the song for the last time in Omen III The Final Conflict and he seriously handled the film's score for the last time and I like how he handled the song one last time so far in this movie. What I also like about this movie is that the film is also full of improved kills over it's predecessor. The death of the first Monk who attempts to kill Damien with the Seven Daggers of Meggido is really tense and suspenceful and it is one of the most impressive kills I've seen in Omen III so far. While the death of the second Monk where the other two Monks thought that it was Damien Thorn and they stabbed him repeatedly with the daggers of Meggido is one of the most brutal kills in Omen III so far and I think it was pretty gory as well. While the death of the
other two Monks are also suspenceful and intense
as well. And the death of each baby born on March 24 is also suspenceful and disturbing as well and I think the death of each baby is just disturbing and creepy for one reason. While the best death scene in Omen III is the scene where Damien's assistant gets killed by getting hit with a hot iron in the face is one of the most gruesome deaths in Omen III so far. What I also like about Omen III is that the film is also full of twists and turns and I like how Peter who is Kate's son in the film turns into the apostle of the devil is a really great twist and it was kinda creepy so far. The biggest downside once again with Omen III is that the film still doesn't have the originality that the first film had and the lack of originality couldn't save the film for one reason. Other than that the film also doesn't have enough suspenceful scenes on certain parts of the film and everything about Omen III seriously goes down the hill due to the lack of suspense as well. Now the acting is great the performances of the casts in the movie is just great although I like how Sam Neil played Damien in the movie and he was kinda creepy in this film so far and he handled his performance quite well in this movie. Director Graham Baker at least handled his directing quite well with this film than what Don Taylor did with the second Omen movie and I also heard that Richard Donner was originally set to direct this movie but became the producer instead and at least Richard Donner didn't come back to direct this film so far because the Omen series seriously went down the hill after the original Omen. Overall Omen III is better than Omen II but it is still an awful movie and could have been so much better if it had the originality for one reason. I highly recommend The Asylum's low budget rip off of this movie titled 666 The Beast which is also a sequel to Asylum's 666 The Child if your interested to see a good sequel to The Omen. And this movie is only for those people who are suckers for the Omen trilogy.

Damien Omen II: Damien is back to fulfill his destiny

 This sequel to the original Omen is nowhere near as good as the first film and it ended up in becoming one of the worst Horror films and one of the worst sequels ever made. I seriously didn't like this movie for one reason and to be honest this film tries to be as good as the original Omen but it ended up being a bad sequel due to several problems faced within the film. I really didn't like this sequel and it wasn't nearly as good as the original Omen and nothing kept me interested with this movie and it could have been so much better if it wasn't for the film's lack of originality and problems faced within the movie. I really hated how this sequel ended up being a bad film and it will never beat the original Omen. There are some great things about Omen II but it doesn't count on becoming a great film and everything that was bad in Omen II just doesn't save the film from some of it's great moments. I seriously found a lot of problems faced within Omen II and there are loads of problems that the movie faced. There is nothing good about Omen II for one reason.
What's great about Omen II is that the film has some of the suspense and genuine scares that the original Omen had. There are lots of scary moments in Omen II and I did like the idea of this film. All of the scares are effective and really useful and I was fund of most of the ideas of Omen II and the scares work well and most of all Damien is still scary just like in the original Omen and I like how the actor played Damien in Omen II so far and he played Damien perfectly  and I like how he played the character so well and I think the actor handled his role so far as the teenage version of Damien Thorn so far. What I also like about Omen II is that the film also has some impressive soundtrack from Jerry Goldsmith(who also composed the song for the original Omen)and I like how Jerry Goldsmith handled the song in the movie and
I like how he handled the music in Omen II so far and he really knows how to handle the music of Omen II so far and I also like how Jerry Goldsmith returned for the final time in Omen III The Final Conflict. What I also like about Omen II is that the film's plot really impressed me. And I basically like the idea of each film the plot of the original Omen is Damien's birth and this movie shows his Rise To Power and I like how the plot of each film shows that Damien is growing up in the sequels but it doesn't save the film due to it's problems and faults for one reason and it could have been better so far. The biggest downside of Omen II is that the film has some kills that are just not suspenceful and just plain dull and boring. Most of the kills in Omen II are just dull and not suspenceful as the kills in the original Omen. Although there are some tense kills in Omen II. The scene where Joan Hart gets killed by getting hit by a truck on a deserted highway is one of the most intense kills in Omen II and I like how Joan Hart was attacked by the crow and it was a pretty neat kill so far. Although the rest of the kills are just lame and predictable. Aunt Marion's death wasn't really thrilling and it wasn't that suspenceful for one reason. While the doctor's death in which the doctor gets cut in half by a falling elevator cable is just fake and dull and it could have been better for one reason and I didn't like that death scene for one reason because of how fake it is. Although I like Charles Warren's death in this film where the train crushed him and I think that was a really tense death scene so far in the film and it is one of the most suspenceful kills in Omen II since Joan Hart's death so far. Director Don Taylor should not have directed this movie and if it wasn't for Don Taylor someone else could have at least directed this movie and had a better screenwriter and I'm glad that screenwriter David Seltzer didn't write this movie and I'm also glad that Director Richard Donner didn't direct this film as well but for the new crew members they could have done better so far. Overall Damien Omen II is a disappointing sequel in the Omen franchise and it will never be as good as the original Omen.

666 The Beast: Let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast for it is the number of a man

Though 666 The Beast is true to it's predecessor it lacks the originality of it's predecessor and it could have been better so far. Although I did like this film as much as I enjoyed watching the first movie and it had a lot of great moments although it could have been better. This savage sequel to 666 The Child is just great and it had a lot of fascinating moments and this is one of the Asylum's most impressive movies since they're other films like Dead Line, 666 The Child, Freakshow and they're other Horror films. I did like this sequel and I seriously consider this to be a great rip off of Omen III The Final Conflict and it is also better than Omen III The Final Conflict. I really like this film and the plot is also interesting and while the movie still lacks all of the originality of the first movie 666 The Beast still had it's best moments and it normally succeeds as a Horror film. But like Omen III The Final Conflict 666 The Beast shows a lot of improvements over Omen III The Final Conflict. And the plot of this film is really similar to Omen III The Final Conflict because Omen III is about Damien's Armageddon and his job to fulfill his prophecy as the Anti Christ. This movie is just the same and this one is about Donald Lawson fulfilling his destiny as the Anti Christ. I really enjoyed the style of this movie and this is a film for anyone who is a fan of the Omen trilogy. hat's great about 666 The Beast is that the film is really suspenceful and there are a lot of creepy moments in this movie. The scene where Kate hears someone calling her and then she sees some of the people walking in the street looking at her demonically is one of the creepiest moments while the scene where one detective gets killed by the Anti Christ followers is really a tense scene and I think those are some of the greatest parts of the film. What I also enjoy about 666 The Beast is that the film also has a lot of tense moments and there are some suspenceful scenes in this film and I like how the movie is handled well with some fine directing and writing
and thanks to a neat storyline I had a good time with this movie. What I was also fund of this movie is that the film also has the same camera work as the first movie and the camera work in this movie is just as good as the original's camera work and everything about this movie is good from the beginning until the end and I did like the camera work so far. While the movie has some great things the biggest downside of this movie is that the film has a lot of lame rip off scenes from Rupert Wainright's Stigmata and there are some scenes that aren't suspenceful at all and it could have been better because the Stigmata scene is seriously not a good rip off scene in the film although it is way better than the Stigmata scene in Exorcism The Possession Of Gail Bowers because the Stigmata scene in Exorcism The Possession Of Gail Bowers is seriously bad and lame so mainly the Stigmata scene is just great in this movie so far. Now the acting in this movie is great though the acting isn't nearly as good as the acting in the first movie because the acting in this movie is good but it is also decent on certain parts but overall the performances of the casts is great even the actor who played Donald Lawson is just as scary and creepy as Boo Boo Stewart in the first movie so I mainly like the acting in this film but I still like the first movie's acting way better so far. Overall 666 The Beast is an entertaining sequel and it's nowhere near as good as the first movie but at least it manage to beat Omen III The Final Conflict and it is seriously one of the better Asylum movies since the first film, Freakshow, Exorcism The Possession Of Gail Bowers and Dead Line.

666 The Child: His name was death and Hell Followed him

The Asylum has some average and ok Horror movies normally most people hate they're films due to they're idea of ripping of a lot of good movies. For me some of they're films are ok not the best but no masterpiece as well but they're all fine sometimes. 666 The Child is a great Horror film from The Asylum and I like how they made a really good low budget rip off of the original Omen and mainly it's not as good as most Horror films and it's nowhere as good as the original Omen and it's remake but for me this is an ok film and it's just a fine movie to me.  The plot of 666 The Child is pretty simple and normally I like that the story has some similarities to the original Omen and I normally like it a lot. Everything about 666 The Child is just plain great and it doesn't have a lot of special things that the original Omen had even it's 2006 remake but for the most part 666 The Child is one of the Asylum's better films and it's direct sequel 666 The Beast(which is a low budget rip off of Omen III The Final Conflict)is also good but the sequel isn't nearly as good as this movie but it's also a great film. 666 The Child also has some great ideas and normally this is why I consider this film to be one of the better Asylum films ever made. I really enjoyed watching this movie and it kept me interested from start to finish like how I enjoyed the original Omen and it's 2006 remake. This movie really has everything you need for a Horror movie a lot. What's great about 666 The Child is that the film is full of suspenceful and tense scenes and there are lots of tense moments in the film and this movie has a lot of great ideas and there are loads of graphic and gory kills in the film. The Nun's death scene was really tense and suspenceful and seriously unexpected and it was kinda gory as well and I did like that scene a lot and I also like the way the Nun shows up before getting killed by a car and it was kinda creepy when Donald's adopted father didn't know that she's inside the house so far that was a great death scene. The scene where the dentist and his assistant dies is one of the most gruesome parts of the film and I think that is the goriest and the nastiest part of the film because of the use of gore and graphic violence in that scene and it was also a tense kill scene so far. The scene where Uncle Tony dies is really suspenceful and intense as well plus it was super graphic and gory as well and I like how Uncle Tony gets his fingers chopped off by the lawn mower and that was a nasty scene to watch while the rest of the kills are sometimes similar to the original Omen. The other great things about 666 The Child is that the film also has a lot of great camera work and there's some atmosphere on certain parts to keep viewers interested from watching the film a lot. Now the acting is great the performances from the casts even Boo Boo Stewart in his first role did a great job with his performance in the movie and I think this is one of Asylum's films that has great acting because the other Asylum Horror films have a lot of bad acting and take Halloween Night as an example and the range of the acting in this movie ranges from mediacore to incredible acting and I like the performances of the casts so far. This is still not one of the best Horror movies due to some weak editing but it's at least entertaining so far and it's a great Asylum movie as well and it is also one of the better Asylum films since it's sequel, Freakshow, Dead Line, Evil Eyes and Exorcism The Possession Of Gail Bowers. Overall 666 The Child is an entertaining Horror film from The Asylum and I hope that they don't make any bad Horror movies because they really handled this film well.

The Omen(1976): Satan's son is now on Earth

  The Original Omen is one of the best Horror films in the 70's since Jaws, Halloween, The Exorcist and Poltergeist. I've seen the 2006 remake and I've made a review of it as well. Now since I've watched the original Omen I have to say that this is the best Horror film ever made and it is the best in the Omen trilogy since the 2006 remake(which everyone calls the worst Horror film ever made but for me it's not the worst remake it's a good remake)and this movie seriously has everything that every Horror fan needs. For the most part this is a really good Horror film and I seriously enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the 2006 remake as well. For the most part the plot is also the same as the 2006 remake but the only difference is the style of the death scenes and the other thing that's different about the 2006 remake is the style of the movie and the new scenes that were not in the original Omen. This movie is really good and it really has all of the suspense and tension plus this movie has a lot of originality. What's great about the original Omen is that the film is full of suspenceful and tense moments and the whole movie is really scary and dark and the genuine suspense and scares are really good and it makes the movie look good as well. There are lots of suspenceful scenes in this film. The Nanny's death scene was creepy and really unexpected as well and I think that death scene is just the same in the 2006 remake the only difference is that after the Nanny hangs herself on the roof the Nanny crashed herself as well in the window while in the 2006 remake after the Nanny hangs herself her shoes falls on the bowl of punch so far both scenes are the same done only in a different style. While the film has a lot of impressive and genuine scares and spooks the film also has an amazing soundtrack thanks to Jerry Goldsmith's score and I did like the music in here just as I enjoyed the music in the 2006 Omen remake although I think both songs in the original and the remake are both good but the only difference between the songs in the film is mainly they're own style. The soundtrack's style in the original creates suspense, tension and genuine scares and spooks and thrills while the 2006 remake's song by Woman In Black and Scream trilogy composer Marco Beltrami creates a really deep and dark tone with atmosphere as well and I think both soundtracks are great the only difference is that the 2006 remake just creates a really deep and dark tone with atmosphere as well. Though the original Omen lacks atmosphere it's still a great film and the movie is just full of suspense and tension though it lacks the atmosphere of the 2006 remake there are some atmospheric parts in the film but it's not enough to make the atmosphere of the film. The other things I did like about The original Omen is that the death scenes are really intense and they're the same as the 2006 remake only done in a different style. The priest's death scene in this film is great the only difference with that scene is that it's done in a different style mainly because the way the priest died in this version uses suspense music instead of the atmosphere that was done in the 2006 remake. Because the priest's death scene in the remake is really atmospheric and that scene uses atmosphere while here in the original Omen it uses suspense music to create tension and suspense and I think that was a great idea so far. I also like the decapitation scene in the Original Omen and it is also done in a different style and the only difference with the decapitation scene in the original Omen is that the scene is repeated 5 or 6 times to scare the audiences while the one in the remake is just once and I think both decapitation scenes are done in a Final Destination like style and I did like that idea so far.  Now the acting is great the performances of Gregory Peck, Harvey Stephens and Lee Remick are really good and I think Harvey Stephens did a good job with his role as Damien Thorn and he looks scary and creepy at the same time although my toughest decision is that I should choose whose the scariest among the two actors who played Damien Thorn either Harvey Stephens or the kid in the remake plays Damien perfectly mainly I think I chose Harvey Stephens because Harvey Stephens looks scary and creepy at the same time from what I can tell from his face and he looks super scary in this movie so far. Director Richard Donner and Writer David Seltzer did a good job in creating a really suspenceful Horror film with lots of genuine scares and thrills I just felt bad that the next two sequels to this movie aren't as good as the original Omen and I wish it could have been better and the first two sequels could have been a lot better if both films follow the same path as the original and the remake. Overall The Omen is a really suspenceful Horror film with lots of genuine scares and spooks that keeps audiences scared in watching and this is the best 70's Horror film since Jaws, Halloween and Poltergeist along with The Exorcist.
