Killer Mermaid (Nympho) Movie Review SSMR

In this low-budget horror, a group of rich holiday-makers get in the way of a (Title). I have no idea why this movie has the alternative names of 'Nympho' and 'Killer Mermaids', we never get to see the mermaid in coitus and there is only one of them, but there sure is a lot of sexiness and killing going on.

+1 / Digging Up The Marrow SSMR

+1 (2013)

#It's that 'Best Party Ever' movie again except just as the host's party trick is revealed it all goes awry

#Niftily shot and edited, some bad and misplaced CGI but a pleasant palette.

#Truly horrible script and acting, with stolen chunks of dialogue and offensive brainwashing tactics. Starts with what seems to be a humorless Superbad-American Pie tribute film.

#A totally pointless film that you've already seen before..

The Anomaly / Guest SSMR

The Anomaly (2014)

#Great British actor travels the world and time, inside his mind.

#Riveting from start to finish, this original sci-fi actioner will probably get watched more than once, if you can respect Noel's unusual (for a lead) face and expressions.

#Some realistic and awesomely accomplished long-shot fight scenes. With a challenging story, there are great performances from the three leads and most of the supporting cast.

#Fuelled by great ambition, the often visible low budget is spiritedly fought against. Skilled and varied imagery with some brilliant special effects and a classy big-name cameo from Brian Cox. Although its use of funds were maximised, the film is let down by some dodgy accents and translucent plotting.

Lau's Switch & Contract Killers Reviews SSMR

Switch (2013)

#Jarring editing and pacing that feels like 3 movies, each with a different director, intermixed but conflicting in both scenario and method.

#The south-east Asian cast are suitably over-dramatic, charming their way to redeeming their British companions embarrassing awfulness. Andy Lau is as charismatic as ever, miraculously melding together the mishmash of properties.

#Huge, colourful and artistic sets and settings. Awesome shots and production values but the absence of good juxtaposition nearly nullifies the beauty on show.

#The convoluted story is crippled by distinct lack of skill, authenticity and believability, leaving Switch feeling old fashioned (90's) but with modern production tools and techniques in use.

##Warning: this film features blonde Asians in roles of supremacy.

# - # -   -   -   -   1.6/5

Contract Killers (2014)

#Irresistable white guy goes round killing on contract trying not to get himself killed by a chinese badass. For those who play COD, think action web-series' are good and liked 2012's Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning.

#The swiftly paced story is gripping but predictable with interesting characters that could have been a little more fleshed out, the chinese badass antagonist is the star of the show. Complimentary soundtrack is rough but spirited.

#The acting direction of the Thor lead and his damsel is the worst thing about this film redeemed by amazing scenes of masterfully cut violence that have an imperfect but awesome sense of realness.

#Although often charmingly amateurish both in performance and staging, we are in the modern age of film making and this is not a bad movie for its b-action genre. Contract Killers was Cool with some seriously moments of brilliance, you may enjoy it.

#Steal in HQ or buy for cheap.

Zulu & Snowpiercer Movie Review - SSMR

Zulu (2013)

#True detectives run around South Africa getting things off their chests.

#A truly hardcore show, with violence at a level of realistic brutality you're not usually allowed to see in the west. A gripping, tense and intriguing story that is easy to lose track of and may just bring you back for another round.

#Albeit grounded and somewhat mundane, the skilful and bright cinematography makes the film a joy to have on the screen making up for the excruciating soundtrack that is full flavoured but peaks way too high at the worst possible times.

#One to watch for free or purchase cheaply if you can find it.

Snowpeircer (2014)

#Metaphorical class struggle on a cold train speeding into the future.

#Edited flawlessly, the emotive visuals are spectacularly skillful. The action scenes leave a lot to be desired in terms of display but overflow with drama. This is a cleanly scored film that is hard to criticise.

#The story is gripping and well written, for its type, benefited by its simplicity with a twist ending that shouldn't really be one. The cast, spearheaded by the awesome Chris Evans, perform wonderfully minus Tilda Swinton who doesn't quite deliver a convincing and complete character, here the supporting cast truly supports.

#A galvanising and memorable experience, pay to watch once on a big screen.
