(HORROR) The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) - 2013 *

The thing with these films is that they are meant to be gruesome. There's not escaping it. They are based around a vile topic, and there is no way of covering it up.
The first film was hideous, but at least it was original, whereas this sequel was an utter shambles.
A psychotic loaner is obsessed with the first film, so much so that he decides to recreate the picture, frame by frame. To do this he entices some people to an empty building and kidnaps others.
The rest of the film is about how he tries to replicate the first 'Human Centipede' but fails horrifically.
No point in watching this whatsoever.

(HORROR) Dead Souls - 2012 **

'Dead Souls' is particularly gruesome, but also ridiculous in every possible way. It starts off with a flashback that I can only describe as disgusting, and then flips backwards and forwards for the rest of the film which leaves the audience rather confused. The main character is a rather wimpish year old who discovers on his birthday that not only was he adopted, but that he has been left a house. And a terrifying, evil house at that. Once he arrives he finds a strange girl has been living in the house (a bit squat-like if you ask me) and they find themselves mixed up in the horrific stories of the house.
It's certainly atmospheric but I cannot possibly say that I enjoyed it.

(HORROR) Mother's Day - 2010 *

 

For me, 'Mother's Day' was one of those films that I had started trying to watch twice and had given up on. This third time I forced myself to sit down and watch until the end which I did, despite wanting to get up and run away a number of times. I've watched an awful lot of horror films, but this seemed unnecessarily brutal and pointless.Just for no reason at all we were subjected to scene after scene of stabbing, impaling, cutting, shooting and other delightful images which made me feel sick. The storyline (which always seems to be the way) was virtually non-existent and Rebecca De Mornay gave one of the most boring performances of her life as the deranged mother, out to mutilate and abuse anyone who hurt her children. It was all too cliche and things happened for absolutely no reason at all. Now I understand that I have a sixth sense when it comes to awful films that tries to stop me wasting my time, in true fashion I managed to completely ignore this mental warning and have thus subjected myself to this film three times.
