Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Rating: ★★
Nov 3, 2007Videogame Adaptation/Post-Holocaust Zombies
Third of the Resident Evil films. This expands the scale of action to show the entire world destroyed by the virus but for all that and a decent budget, director Russell Mulcahy fails to push the elements to a suitable head of steam

Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
Rating: ★
Sep 21, 2010Videogame Adaptation/Post-Holocaust Zombies
Four films in and clear evidence that the Resident Evil series needs to be retired. This consists of tediously borrowed action moves now presented in 3D and a plot of random dead ends that make little sense

Detention (2011)
Rating: ★★★★
Nov 6, 2013Gonzo High School Film/Slasher Parody/Time Travel/Bodyswap
A film with insane creativity and snide pop culture wit spilling over at the edges like a mash-up of Bad Kids Go to Hell, John Dies at the End and Back to the Future written by a love child of Kevin Williamson and Diablo Cody

Tarzan (2013)
Rating: ★★½
Aug 1, 2014Jungle Hero/Animation
An animated version of the Tarzan story shot in the motion capture process. Some of the modernisations might have Edgar Rice Burroughs turning in his grave, nevertheless the animation is excellent and the film works well as a technologically upgraded version of the Disney film

Landmine Goes Click (2015)

Landmine Goes Click (2015)
Rating: ★★★
Jan 3, 2016Character Trapped Standing on a Landmine
A film that sells its entire premise in three words. Essentially a variant on Phone Booth and the host of Conceptual Containment Thrillers that copied that, the film keeps a character trapped on a landmine unable to move for the duration and keeps piling on torturous twists from there

Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Rating: ★★
Mar 31, 2018Paranormal Investigation
After two fairly good initial entries, the Insidious series slipped into mediocrity with the third film and continues its downward slide here. The script is indifferently slung together and and new director Adam Robitel's clumsy jumpshocks are a far cry from the eerie effects James Wan pulled off
