(HORROR) Crazy Eights - 2006 **

Crazy me for watching this more like? Usually horrors that centre around old hospitals, sanitariums, mental institutions etc are pretty creepy. These kinds of films are usually shot in genuine locations and so that makes them even weirder.
This was (by the looks of things) shot on location and still managed to be a garbled mess. I'm not even sure what the story was because my mind started wandering pretty soon after it had started. I can honestly say though, that this was one of the films I had been looking forward to watching, and as usual I had been disappointed.

(HORROR) The Final - 2010- ****

I was actually very impressed with this movie, and I generally don't find much in the 'After Dark Horrorfest' movies to be impressed about.

This is a great film for anyone who has ever been bullied or treated unfairly by someone in their school days. There are a group of outcasts who just do not fit in, and despite their constant appeals to the popular kids to acccept them, these hopes fall on deaf ears. It is only then that they decide to inflict a terrible payback.

Excellent stuff, certain scenes have been 'borrowed' from other horror movies (the needle scene in 'Audition' is one...) but all in all I liked it, and could relate completely to the outcasts (being one myself at school which made my life hell). Good acting, solid storyline.
