Final Destinationhas a problem. It's not even this movie's fault. The problem is, the franchise has spanned five movies which all pretty much have the same plot. So it's come to the point where everyone knows the story. Main character has a premonition, it happens, they and some others manage to escape, the disaster happens, Death is not happy that they cheated his design, and … [Read more...]

Jaws (1975) review by That Film Guy
1975 was a big year in the film industry. The golden era was over and films were in a state of nostalgic throwback to the 1950s, with homages and remakes rife. Audiences in general were dwindling and a shake-up was needed. This came in the summer from the mind of Steven Spielberg. His film Jaws, the first ever summer blockbuster, and such a commercial and critical success that … [Read more...]
The Pact (2012) review by That Film Fatale
The horror genre seems to lack everything these days, film after film fail to really terrify. The Pact, I hoped would be a different. I was wrong. With a gripping trailer I wanted and expected way more than was actually delivered. Money not well spent. … [Read more...]

Jaws 2 (1978) review by That Film Guy
Three years after the release of Steven Spielberg's mega-hit Jaws came its sequel, Jaws 2. Quite why studios felt that the story of a giant shark needed a second installment, other than the potential financial rewards, is anyone's guess. But Roy Scheider returned as the lead character Chief Brody, although the majority of the other main cast did not and neither did Steven … [Read more...]
