Fear Street: Prom Queen Film Review

For some odd reason the Fear Street films released back in 2021 really caught fire when they were released weekly on Netflix. As such there was some hype when it was announced that there would be a new film coming out and what's more this film is meant to be more based off of the book that the film takes it's title from and given that I haven't seen a single one of the original films or read any of the books I thought that i'd check this film to see if it's any good or not and so then join me as I review the film that is basically a more modern version of Prom Might with the film in question being called simply just "Fear Street: Prom Queen" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a masked killer starts killing off all of the candidates from Prom Queen it's up to prom queen candidate Megan Rogers to find out who is doing these crimes before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time tho this films plot wasn't in particularly all that good either with this films plot feeling like the stereotypical eighties slasher film without realizing what it was that made those films so good in the first place with the films plot being a huge part of that as while it is a decent plot that could work as a throw back to movies like Terror Train or the original Prom Night for that matter the film adds quite literally nothing new to it's set up to make it's plot feel fresh again with it instead feeling tired and played out as while it did have all of the potential to be a really good plot if it actually tried to do something new with it's set up and yet by playing things a bit to safe for it's good it instead comes across as being generic as all of the elements that should have worked alot of the time just don't but when the film does try to do something new like having the victims all be candidates for prom queen which is a good idea it's also not one that's not really expanded upon all that much with the plot of this film also not really being really rather entertaining and as well as not really being really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is India Fowler as Lori Granger , Suzanna Son as Megan Rogers and Fina Strazza as Tiffany Falconer. Also starring in this film is David Iacono as Tyler Torres , Ella Rubin as Melissa Mckendrick , American Pie star Chris Klein as Dan Falconer , Ariana Greenblatt as Christy Renault , Lili Taylor as VP Dolores Brekenridge , Katherine Waterston as Nancy Falconer and Brennan Clost as Gerald.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us un this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this films actors turning in some passable performances in this film which was a little unexpected as really out of this films actors only two of them are fairly decently known with those being Chris Klein and Ariana Greenblatt and that's really it with the rest of this films actors being made of mostly unknown or at best very little known actors and as such it would have bee really foolish to expect some good -performances in them in this very film and yet that's exactly what we got with all of this films quite clearly trying there absolutely best to make this films script work for them however the issue comes from the fact that this films co-writer and director Matt Palmer really does have no clue whatsoever on how to get a good performance out of his actors however given that he's pretty much new to the world of directing this is forgivable as those are skills that he will naturally pick up as he makes more movies but it is something that does make this films acting hard to watch at times with the acting that's in this very film not really being heled by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does hard the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

This films characters are just like the script in that there bad and generic as all of this films main characters are characters that have not only been done before in other and better slasher but they also have nothing that makes them feel new and unique. With al of the character types from eighties slasher being represented in this film only none of them have anything new or interesting added to them with the only exception being the character of Lori Granger who despite the typical good girl character who has to fight against prejudice due to her mother being insane and killing people which is a unique angle to take on what could have been seen as a being a really tired and worn out character trope only the film does nothing with it thus making it feel like something that was an afterthought as they do nothing with it other then mention a few times early on in the film and that's really it however she's gets the gold star treatment when compared to the rest of this films characters who are all just badly done stereotypes which does make the makers of this film seem lazy as it appears that they couldn't be bothered to come up with fresh and new characters or at the very least make the characters that they do have seem interesting and while i'm sure that these characters will make the crowd on both TikTok and Bluesky happy they are characters that need to have to something new added to them as given just how they are in this film there not that good this is despite the fact that alot of them are being portrayed by some really good actors yet even taking into account that this films writers are fairly new writers as none of them even have a Wikipedia page for that matter they should still have taken the time to give us some decent characters in this film.

Unlike the previous three Fear Street films this one is actually based off of one of the Fear Streets book with the book being The Prom Queen. While it is hard to say if the book and this film are close to each other interms of quality as the only thing that I can say for sure about the book is that they changed the name of the main character from Lizzie in the book to Lori in the film and that's really it but at the same time tho given that the previous three films didn't really adapt any of the book per-say instead just adapting the world that the books take place in it is odd that for this fourth film they would instead choose to adapt one of the books when the previous three films proved that you don't have to do that in order to make the film good with this film not really doing a good enough job of making people want to read the books as it just makes the books story which is pretty much the exact same one as the film seem dull and generic when the job of the adaption should always be not only to make the story more accessible to people but to also make people want to check out the source material and yet it's something that this film just doesn't do as instead it's more focused on really letting you know that it takes place in the eighties then it is in being a good adaption of the book with there being no reason to see which is better as just based off of a very quick reading from the book's Wikipedia page everything that happens in the film happens in the book which is great if you like a straight forward adaptation but what ight work in the book doesn't always work out in the adaptation but credit where it's due for still trying to make a direct adaptation of one of the books in this series as that is something that if done well could lead to future films or better yet a TV series that takes the exact same approach that this films takes by directly adapting one of the books and not just the world that the books take place in.

As was mentioned earlier on in this review this film is pretty much just copying both the original and the remake version of Prom Night. As both films take place at senior prom and both films have a killer that is directly related to one of the films main characters and heck both films even have a pretty decent soundtrack to it on top of that with the influence even extending to the films poster as there is a poster for this film that looks shockingly like the poster to the original Prom Night and while it's great that you want to show your influences for other horror movies in your horror movie but you have to be subtle about it because if not then all it will do is make people want to watch that film and not your film which is exactly the case with this film as it just reminds you that you could be watching a much more better horror film instead of making you focus solely on this film which is what it should have been doing in the first place and heck it even takes a little bit from the Prom Night remake as well by having the scene where the killer is arrested be a false ending with the kills then continuing when one of the main characters gets home which is just such a pointless thing to do as everybody would be expecting that given the fact that when the killer is masked there's twenty minuets of run time left and while having a false ending an be good as it then makes you wonder what's going to happen next in order for it to work there has to be some build up done all throughout the film which is something that's very sadly not even close to being the case with this film as it's more focused on being a new version of Prom Night then it is in being it's unique thing.

For some strange reason even tho this film is meant to have a mystery aspect to it the film not only doesn't give us any clues as to who the killer might be but it also reveals the killer to early into the films third act. Both of which are things that work against the film as without any clues or suspects for that matter us the audience can't figure it out for ourselves as to who the killer of this film is even meant to be in the first place which also robs the film of any replay ability as well as now we have no reason to back and watch the film to see if we've missed out anything important and with the killer being revealed for two early in the films third act there was no real build up to the reveal and not to mention the person who is the killer in this film doesn't make sense as he doesn't really have much in the way motive outside of wanting to make sure that two people get something that they wanted which is not only a really generic motive for a killer to have but it also makes the killer look dumb as the people that he killed still could have won and become Prom Queen as the ones who were deciding the votes were those in attendance so wouldn't it therefor make sense to kill those that are voting for the person other then who the killer wanted to to win instead of killing off those that are taking part in it in the first place and when they reveal that there's more then one killer that is something that whilst it is interesting it also comes out nowhere and comes into pay in the final scene of the film and therefor can't leave as much of an impact as an idea like that does tend to leave with all of these being issues that could be fixed not only with a simple rewrite of the films script but also by hiring writers that actually know what there doing.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets and one second. Which is pretty much the exact grand total running that you'd expect a film like this one to have with the film really having the right amount of pot there to really cover that amount of running time however it's not really used all that wisely as ether the plot of the film nor the films characters are developed well enough to the point where you actually care about them nor care about what's actually going on in the film as the film is more focused on doing everything as half baked as it could do that it just doesn't give us any kind of interesting characters now while it would be hard to say if the characters in the original trilogy where any better one thing is clear and that's the fact that due to the original trilogy of films having the same director and the same crew throughout all of them that means that the makers of the film could fall in love with the characters and there for make them more interesting where as here the films characters just feel like that there only there to be killed off with very few of them actually adding anything to the main plot of the film with even the films plot not really being that well developed either as even tho it is a decent plot it still just feels half baked like the makers of the film could have done with spending a few more months just working on the films plot to get as good as it was ever going to be with this running time and yet for whatever reason the makers of this film felt that it was OK as it is but I really will admit that this film really does have some really dreadful pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a slasher film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films kills really being the true highlight of the film as we do get to see some pretty creative kills however just because the kills are creative and gory doesn't mean that the film itself is any good as the film still needs to have likable characters that make you feel sorry for them because of the fact that they've died and sadly that is where that this film falls flat as the characters aren't all that likable due to there being nothing about the characters personalities that makes them either likable or hate able and therefor when one of them does infact die all us the audience feel is nothing we don't feel happy that a character that we hate has been killed off nor do we feel sad when a character that we like has just been killed off either this is despite the fact that the film does have some really impressive gore effects to it with the example of this films gore being when one of the characters gets a part of his face sawed off which does look really cool and is a really inventive kill on top of all of that as well with that kill also being the films best kill as it is a memorable kill even if the character being killed off is totally forgettable which is something that's also true for all of the characters that do get killed of in this film as there's nothing all that memorable about them over then the way that they do get killed off which makes those characters seem all the more badly written then what they already are in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while I can't say if this is the vest or even the worse of the Fear Street films what I can say is that this film does feel like the waste of a good idea as on paper this is an idea that should have worked and yet for one reason or another it just didn't work as well as it really should have done in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the and things that are in this very film in this very review and a such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old core of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , the official Fear Street fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official Fear Street fandom wiki page simply because the official Fear Street fandom wiki page actually has images from this film really are up and on the official Fear Street fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official Fear Street fandom wiki page were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

My First Impressions Of The Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet Of Curiosities TV Series

 

Horror fans it's a slightly rare thing that we get a brand new horror themed TV show let alone one that's made and hosted by one of the most renowned directors out there in Guillermo Del Toro. Well now the man behind the best Blade sequel ever made has made a TV show and well then I just had to check this show out and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that has been getting rave reviews online with the show in question being called simply just "Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet Of Curiosities" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is a man who is down on his luck comes across something demonic in a storage unit that he just bought and a graveyard caretaker tries to stave of giant rats while he digs a grave. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty really good with the first episode having the better plot of the two episodes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these first two episodes are Tim Blake Nelson as Nick Appleton and Sebastian Roché as Roland. Also starring in these first two episodes are Elpidia Carrillo as Emilia , Demetrius Grosse as Eddie , David Hewlett as Masson and Nabeel El Khafif as Hans Overfist and finally we have the shows creator and executive producer amongst many other roles that fills in this show Guillermo Del Toro as Himself.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty really good. With the acting being alot better then it really had any right to be and really alot better then what I really thought that it would be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This show is based upon the 2013 book of the exact same name with both the book and the show having involvement from Guillermo Del Toro. I really have no idea if this show adapts any stories from the book since i've not read nor even heard of the book but since the first episode of this show "Lot 36" is based upon a short story by Guillermo Del Toro himself I have to imagine that this show got that story from the book but I could be wrong tho but I will admit that it'd be great if this show did adapt stories from the book in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

The closest show that I can compare this show is the original The Twilight Zone since both shows have a host and both shows have stories that are adapted from short stories. Heck even Guillermo Del Toro himself acts and talks a little bit the The Twilight Zone host , writer and creator Rod Sterling so for me this show is a modern day take on what they did on the original The Twilight Zone in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This show is described as being both equally sophisticated and horrific and that's the best way to describe this show. Since it has both equally sophisticated storytelling that's almost worthy of being in a feature length film and yet since it's a horror show it's also not afraid to scare you not only with the monsters that we get in these first two episodes but also in it's ideas and how certain people are being presented in these first two episodes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I have to admit that i'm in two minds about how Netflix is releasing this show since they are releasing two episodes per-day all the way until this Friday. Since this hasn't been the Netflix way of releasing things and so it really doesn't make sense for them to change it up now since to me this show is made to be watched in one sitting just because of the fact that it's an anthology show and so then releasing this show they way that they are doing just doesn't make any kind of sense whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty six minuets and eighteen seconds and episode two has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly thirty eight minuets and twenty two seconds. With episode one having the better running time just because of the fact that it makes the best use of it's running time whereas episode two just felt like it was twenty minuets to long since it didn't need to be as long as it was which just wasn't the case with episode one of this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

So now then since is a horror show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual scares that are actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual scares that are actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes were in all honesty really good. With both of these first two episodes being genuinely quite scary and really creepy which for a horror show is always going to be a very good thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall so far this show does seem to be like a really creepy that might be worth watching altho if truth be told i'd wait until the end of the week and ten just binge the whole series in one sitting if I were you all since that might be the best way to watch this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then  i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very post and while i'm not going to give this show a rating I MIGHT review some more of the episodes on Friday but only time will indeed tell.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this post from IMP Awards . Com , the official The Twilight Zone fandom wiki page ,the official Cabinet Of Curiosities fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official Cabinet Of Curiosities fandom wiki page With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official Cabinet Of Curiosities fandom wiki page simply because of the fact Google Images actually has alot of images from this film up on the official Cabinet Of Curiosities fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official Cabinet Of Curiosities fandom wiki page were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always freaking do with our one and true freaking goddess Elvira wishing us all some very freaking unpleasant dreams indeed.

My First Impressions Of The Resident Evil Live Action TV Series

 

Resident Evil fans the day that you have all been dreading is now sadly finally here because Netflix have dropped all eight episodes of the show that nobody wanted. Which means that yours truly has to check it out and in order to give this show a fair shake i'm doing this post based of off the first two episodes of the show and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that nobody wanted with the show in question being called simply just "Resident Evil" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes does seem a little hard to figure out not because it's complicated but rather it's virtually none existent. Which for any form of media is always going to be a bad thing since you then rob your show of it's reason to exist and that's sadly what's happened here and it's been robbed of it's chance to get any fans because nobody is going to want to watch a show that has no storyline attached to it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in these first two episodes is Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker and Ella Balinska as Older Jade Wesker. Also starring in these first two episodes is Siena Agudong as Older Billie Wesker , Tamara Smart as Younger Jade Wesker , Anthony Oseyemi as Roth , Mpho Osei Tutu as Yen , Nicholas Pauling as Tate , Richard Wright-Firth as Maskey , Adrienne Pearce as Mrs Morgan , Michelle Allen as Rhonda and Lauren Steyn as Carol.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty OK at best. This is of course no fault of the cast but rather the episodes scripts which gives all of the actors literally nothing to work with in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

As much as i'd like to credit the correct VFX companies for these two episodes I sadly can't because of the fact that I can't find out who did the VFX for these first two episodes. Which in this case because the CGI that we get in these first two episodes ranges from OK at best to just flat out bad with these first two episodes using CGI in places where you didn't need to use CGI which just goes to show you that makers of this show care more about using flashy effects then they do about telling a good or even a decent storyline in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

It's been a very rough couple of months for the Resident Evil franchise with the film Resident Evil: Welcome To racoon City bombing hard at the box office and now this show getting released with very little to no fanfare. I don't know why Americans seem to be having a very hard time adapting this franchise recently when it should be the easiest franchise in the world to adapt since all your doing is telling a zombie survival story and that's it and yet filmmakers and show makers seem to either not make it fun enough or make it so much fun that it basically becomes a parody of itself in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

For some strange reason the makers of this show thought that it was a good idea to tell this story across two different timelines. Which to be fair isn't that bad of an idea on paper but when you factor into account that this show really doesn't have a story to tell let alone one that you need to tell across two different timelines then the whole thing really does just start to crumble in on itself in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I will give these first two episodes and thus this show this it is trying to do something new however what that something even is is anybodys guess. Since this show doesn't seem to all that inspired if anything this show comes across as being nothing more then a soulless and lifeless cash grab and nothing more then that since this show and thus these first two episodes is lacking in every single aspect in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then these first two episodes have a combined grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty minuets exactly. With episode one being one hour one minuet and fifty six seconds and and episode two being forty nine minutes and fifty nine seconds which is basically fifty minuets and yeah you really do feel each and every second of it since these first two episode are just that freaking dull and boring in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then since this show is a horror show after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With these first two episodes having some fairly decent scares in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall you always want to start out with your best foot forward and well these first two episodes sadly aren't this show putting it's best forward since both episodes are lacking in every single aspect in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things about these first two episodes in this very post and i'm not going to be reviewing this show at all since it is such a bad show but as is tradition I also won't be giving these two episodes and rating either.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Resident Evil fandom wiki page , the official Netflix fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always do with our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very unpleasant dreams.

My First Impressions Of the All Of Us Are Dead Live Action TV Series

 

Horror fans I very rarely if every get excited for a horror TV show mostly because I know that the show in question will never be able to deliver on the good scares on an episode by episode basis. However there is one show that has just started out that actually has some freaking promise and so join me as I give you my first impressions on the show that in all honesty looks like a high school version of Train To Busan with the TV show in question being freaking called freaking simply just " All Of Us Are Dead" enjoy.

The plot of this show is a zombie outbreak occurs in a Korean high school and so all if it's students and most of it's staff have to try and fight to stay alive or risk becoming an actual freaking zombie themselves. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the plot line that's being featured / presented to us in this show thus far in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot line that's being featured / presented to us in this show thus far is so far at least really freaking good but of course that could change over the coming episodes but so far at least this show is of to a really freaking good start in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in the first two episodes of the show that I watched are Victoria Grace as On-jo and Darren Keilan as Lee Su-Hyeok. Also starring in these first two episodes of this very freaking show are Harrison Xu as Chung-san , Lisa Yamada as Hyo-Ryeong and Rich Ting as Chief Of Staff Seon-Moo. Yes this post is being based of the English dubbed version of the show which isn't ideal to say the least but it was the only version of the show that I could find and yes so far at least this dubbing is pretty freaking good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty really freaking. I of course cannot speak for the Korean but the dubbed acting does so far at least seem to be really freaking good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now these first two episodes of this show gave me some very freaking serious Highschool Of The Dead vibes. Which isn't a bad thing since I loved that show but the same time when your to bust reminding people of another zombie school themed show then your clearly not doing something right which is a shame because a zombie outbreak occurring in a high school is a genuinely good freaking idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Now then I will very fully admit that the only reason as to why I watched Train To Busan yesterday was incase of the fact that this show gave me some serious Train To Busan vibes. Which in all honesty was a good thing because of the fact that this film did infact give me some serious Train To Busan vibes mostly in how the zombie in these first two episodes were being portrayed since they were being portrayed in the exact same way as they were being portrayed in the film Train To Busan which was a pretty freaking bad thing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then I really did like the high school setting of the first two episodes simply because it means that we get to see alot more zombies. Which in all honesty actually makes these first two episodes seems a lot more creepier and a lot more epic and scarier then what they actually are because now there are at least a couple of thousand zombies all around the school and and any of them could attack our main cast of heroes or even characters at any freaking second which is just a freaking cool idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Now then one of the things that I really did hate about this first episode is the fact that it takes nearly the entire first episodes running time to get to some actual zombie action. With the res of episode ones running time being used to show the characters in school and what there private lives are like which in all honesty really does make that first feel alot more like a high school drama series that you would see airing on the The CW and not an actual zombie show / or even zombie series in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then episode one had a grand total running time of exactly one hour and six minuets and twenty seconds where as episode twos running time was exactly one hour and ten minuets and one second which means that both of the episodes combined had a grand total running time of exactly two hours and sixteen minuets and three seconds. Which having a zombie run well over an hour long per episode isn't that much of a good thing because each episode feel like it's a being a chore to sit through and that's the one things that you don't really want to be the freaking case in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then since this show is a zombie show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual zombie killings that are actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual zombie killings that were actually featured / presented to us in these episodes weren't all that bad. Since even tho yes they were just the stereotypical zombie bite kind of kills the kills in these first episodes actually added to the overall drama of this shows first two episodes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall this show does so far at the very least seem to be off to a guard start and the IMDB ratings for both of these first two episodes does seem to reflect that this is a good show to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very post and since this post is just me giving my first impressions of this very show I will not be giving a rating for this show as this isn't a review of the show itself but rather my first impressions of the show itself.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Train To Busan fandom wiki page , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film up on Google Images and pus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always do with our ne and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very unpleasant dreams. 

Army Of The Dead Film SPOILER FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review

 

Zombie fans director Zack Snyder has become somewhat of a cult icon over the past years with the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut finally paying of on March 18th 2021. However Zack Snyder also had another film in development and well that film has been released into theaters and well I thought that'd give you my SPOILER FREE review of the movie and so join me as I review the Zack Snyder zombie film that is currently taking movie theaters / cinemas by storm with the film in question / the film itself being called simply "Army Of The Dead" enjoy.

The plot of this film is a group of people are tasked with robbing a Las Vegas casino the only problem is Las Vegas is filled to the brim with all kinds of Zombies. In terms of what I personally thought about the plot of this particular film in all honesty the plot of this film is alot better then what I personally thought that it would be since to me the plot of this movie makes the movie sound pretty stupid but in actuality the plot of this movie is in my opinion at least very fun and very entertaining.

Starring in this film is Dave Bautista as Scott Ward , Ella Purnell as Kate Ward and Omari Hardwick as Vanderohe. Also starring in this film is Ana De La Reguera as Maria Cruz , Theo Rossi as Burt Cummings , Matthias Schweighöfer as Ludwig Dieter , Nora Arnezeder as Lily , Hiroyuki Sanada as Bly Tanaka , Garret Dillahunt as Martin , Tig Notaro as Marianne Peters , Raúl Castillo as Mikey Guzman , Huma Qureshi as Geeta , Samantha Win as Chambers , Athena Perample as The Bride , Michael Cassidy as Sergeant Kelly and Richard Cetrone as Zeus.

As for what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very film in all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very film is alot better then what I thought it was going to be. Simply because the very idea behind this film doesn't really allow for good acting and depending on what you personally think of writer , producer and director Zack Snyder then you either like his films and think that he's a god or you hate him and everything about him and you hate every film that he's ever made , I personally think that he's an OK director and in my opinion at least he knows how to direct he's actors and that shows through in the acting / performances in this film since every actor that's starring /appearing in this film gives the right performance for their respective character.

Now I was going to review the 2004 Dawn Of The Dead film since that film was also directed by Zack Snyder however with this film reaching shall we say certain parts of the internet a few days early that review has now been scrapped. However I do now wish that Zack Snyder had made more zombie films since it's clear from this film that he's very interested in adding things to the zombie mythology instead of just sticking to what George A. Romero came up with. 

I will admit that having a zombie film set in Las Vegas is indeed a very good idea and while I cannot say if we've seen any other zombie film use the Las Vegas i'm glad that this film uses a setting that to my knowledge at least hasn't been used that much or at all in zombie media. That being said tho this film doesn't take full advantage of it's Las Vegas film setting since you very easily could have had some fun with the zombies that we see in Las Vegas and as well as give us some pretty fun locations for some of this films many action sequences.

Now then boys and girls if you know your Zack Snyder films then you'll know that when he wants to do he can have some really fun opening titles and the same is true for this film and while I won't give anything away I will say that the film is pretty much worth watching just for the opening titles alone. Since in my opinion at least the opening titles for this film are so fun and they are a pretty good indicator of what you should expect from this film plus the song that plays over the opening credits is just the perfect song and it's really the only song that you'd want playing over the opening credits / titles of a zombie movie that's being set in Las Vegas.

Now I will fully admit that I had no idea that this film was even playing in theatres / cinemas mostly because this is a Netflix film and well nine times of ten Netflix doesn't release a film to theatres / cinemas they just release it straight to Netflix. As such I was surprised to learn that this film was being released into theatres / cinemas but only for a week and only in a certain chain of theatres / cinemas which means that this film can't really make any money since not alot of people will be able to see this film in either theaters or cinemas however I can see where Netflix is coming from by releasing this film into theatres / cinemas since Zack Snyder is a very bankable name right now and so releasing his next movie to cinemas / theatres does make sense but it should have been released into more theatres / cinemas and should be playing in those theatres / cinemas for much longer then a week but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls one of the things that this film got alot of criticism for was it's running and since this film has a running time of exactly two hours and twenty one minuets and fifty two seconds I can honestly see why. Since this film really didn't need to be that long at all in my opinion since you very easily could have told the plot / story of this film in well under two hours and you'd have to loose nothing that's important to the actual story / plot of this film either in order to make this film come in at well under two hours.

Now then boys and girls there are zombies in this film and that means that we have to talk about the actual scares that are featured / presented to us in this / the actual film itself and if i'm being honest here boys and girls the zombies in this film look really good. The Issue with these zombies is however the fact that they don't really do anything that scary other then look slightly creepy or lung at people really fast which is a shame because visually the zombies that are featured / presented to us in this film do look both really cool and really creepy but that's really it and that's really not even close to being enough to making a scary zombie movie since you need actual scares to make your zombie movie actually scary.

Overall this film is so much better then Spiral AKA Spiral: From The Book Of Saw but that's not really a high bar to reach tho and this film can be really fun and funny when it wants to be but there are also alot of things that are wrong that I personally didn't like with this film. Now then boys and girls since i've talked about both of the good and as well both of the bad things that are wrong with this film in this very review that means that this film gets a solid 7.5 out of 10 from me.

As for where I personally got all of the images that I used in this very review well then boys and girls I personally got all of the images that I used in this very review from Google Images , the official Netflix fandom wiki page and the official Army Of The Dead fandom wiki page. In terms of which website I personally preferred to get the images from this film from it has to be the official Army Of The Dead fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that not only was there alot of images up on there but alot of the images that are up on the official Army Of The Dead fandom wiki page are very high quality and very high definition and so as always boys and girls we end this review as we always do with our one true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very unpleasant dreams indeed.
