video review : The Fly

The Fly doesn’t get going until the title concept comes into play, which doesn’t happen until about the halfway point. That’s when Seth Brundle; an inventive scientist “working on something that’ll change the world”; begins to change himself. It’s a creepy and gradual transformation; the plot’s one big catch. The romantic love triangle the main characters are otherwise involved in is far less interesting.

video review : 28 Days Later

A bicycle courier named Jim awakes in an empty hospital to discover he’s in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. That’s the gist of the plot as he goes on to meet other survivors. The infected creatures they encounter are particularly scary because they’re fast and aggressive. The uninfected ones are even worse. Their dreadful predicament is resolved too conveniently in the end, even for a horror flick, but it’s a riveting journey all the way.

video review : Creepshow 3

Creepshow 3, which should’ve come out in 1992; the first two were fours years apart; is worse than 2 but better than 1. The best story is the simplest; the one about The Professor’s Wife. It at least has a decent story arc. The Radio and The Haunted Dog are downright stupid, though the latter’s protagonist does manage to provide some laughs.
