Movie Review by B Movie Ben

May 21st, 2007

I have a freakin' headache!

This was the most incredibly pulse pounding adrenaline rush that I have ever experienced. The sound pumped through my ears as the tension pumped my heart and i literally jumped out of my seat with the excitement.

Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo kept true to Danny Boyle's (Shallow Grave, 28 days Later) story and gave us a film that rocked all the way through.

Catherine McCormack was incredible, and played convincingly, especially at the end. Robert Carlyle made a perfect a**hole. This is Imogen Poots' second film (V for Vendetta) and she is one to watch in the future. Those doe eyes will take her far.

This is not a horror film. It is a film about the tough questions we will face if bio-terrorism ever takes hold. It is not a sequel. It stands on its own as the next step in the process.

Pulse-pounding, not-to-be-missed, theatrical experience. Wait for the DVD at you own risk - you will be a loser!

The damn hell it isn't horror! I am a die-hard horror geek, and I lay claim to this one. I stick my flag in it. PS: Danny Boyle actually directed some of the second unit stuff.

It had horror, but I thought it was so much more. My head is still pounding!

Horror can be more than just blood and guts. Should be, in fact.

	B Movie Ben May 21, 2007 5:57 PM
I have sooo much to learn, master.

Well, I consider both Session 9 and The Machinist to be horror. It's more of a feeling than a series of images. Take Hot Fuzz. Very gory, had serial killers, but still wasn't horror.
