Gone With The Twins

The end result is a competent little chiller, oftentimes using a less-is-more approach that works remarkably well with its limited resources.

Rated: 8/10

Cinema Crazed

A worthwhile genre entry that's less about science playing God and more about the dangers of losing the ability to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

From the bad reviews this got, I was expecting much worse. It's actually quite enjoyable if you're into indie horror flicks.

A weird little film tackling the concept of superheroes lives not being all that it's cracked up to be, before Hollywood really started doing it in like every other superhero movie. The creature and makeup effects are on par with anything around at the time, and they still hold up today. They were by the same effects who did the original Jurassic Park. Sadly, the film is really dragged down by a poor plot, and even poorer acting from our main character. The supporting actors do their best, but when I'm supposed to sympathize with him and I don't, there's a problem there.

Incredibly poor film. Spiderman and the hulk merged into one but with no budget....

Though it is not even close to the original storyline, I actually liked this Cronenbergy Fly approach. With some good performances and amazing make up effects by Stan Winston studios, this film is both entertaining and disturbing. Both of which it was trying to aim for.

The transformation is pretty gross, but i find old school FX grosser than CGI anyway. There's not much to this, it's OK for what it is but I wouldn't watch it again.
