Advantages: Retro horror fun Disadvantages: Predictable
When I was growing up, all my school friends were talking about this new horror movie. Friday the 13th. I was a wimp when it came to horror films I must admit - I just couldn`t watch them, so I missed out on all the playground chat.
When I grew up, I just suddenly got an urge to watch a few horror flicks and grew into a a bit of an addict. I suppose I was making up for my former wimpiness!
Anyway, the reason I am telling you this is because the first proper horror movie I watched was friday the 13th. And I wasn`t disappointed.
It`s a standard horror movie plot - some teens go out to camp crystal lake and are being picked off one by one by a maniacal murderer.
All the way through you are hoping to catch a glimpse of the killer, but you never do and wonder who it could be. In your mind you are picturing an axe-weilding madman ...
Advantages: Easy plot to follow, interesting in parts, good atmosphere captured Disadvantages: Main character does quite fit the part
The 13th Warrior begins with an introduction to our hero, Ahmed (played by Antonio Banderas)an ambassador that's been exiled from his homeland. Together with his entourage he comes across a band of Vikings (referred to as North men) and they join them in their camp.
It's not too long before after a lot of what appears to be hocus-pocus, that a young Viking enters the camp and tells them of this Viking kingdom that is being attacked by a ferocious beast they call the Grendel. An army of men needs to be chosen to return north and rid the kingdom of the threat, and to chose who is to go, they consult a soothsayer -an old bone-throwing woman who appears to be completely mad. She picks twelve Viking men whilst Ahmed looks on and then says that there has to be a 13th who is non-Viking for them to be successful. This turns out to be Ahmed ...
Advantages: Great storyline, great special effects - Great everything! Disadvantages: None that I can think of!
This new Friday the 13th is awesome, and definitly my favourite out of all the Friday the 13th films. This films again shows him with his mask, his machete and all his classic horror features.
If you're a fan of horror, then you will love this film. It is scary and it is jumpy. I recall 'jumping' out of my seat once, and it was a jump at that. Everything's quiet and calming down and boom, sharp loud sound effects and a machete out of no where and I was in the air!
This film shows you where Jason finds his classic mask, and he again uses his machete as his primary weapon, however I must tell you that during the movie he also uses a Bow and arrow to kill a certain person on a boat and it was so cool!
Also, when this film starts you settle into all the characters and their story etc.. but then within 10 minutes pretty much all ...
