Movie and DVD reviews

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark – Be afraid of the clichés

A classic TV horror movie of the week gets the remake treatment, but loses everything that made it claustrophobic and frightening up on the big screen.

The Inbetweeners Movie – I miss the TV show.

‘The Inbetweeners Movie’ fails where the original TV show succeeded, but still remains a funny enough teen comedy.

Attack the Block – The gory and fun alien invasion of the London slums

‘Attack the Block’ is a pretty original take on the classic alien invasion formula, filled with scares and laughs alike.

Conan the Barbarian – Almost entirely a mess of nonsense

The ‘Conan the Barbarian’ remake is exactly the wrong sort of reboot – all flash, no substance.

Fright Night is a campy movie trying to take itself too seriously

For some reason, I didn’t expect ‘Fright Night’ to be what the previews lead me to believe. Unfortunately, I was both correct … and incorrect.

The Whistleblower – An almost successful drama on a horrifying subject

‘The Whistleblower’ is a dramatic thriller based on real-life events about human trafficking that is stretched a bit too thinly for its premise.

The Guard – I’ve never missed Ireland more

Within the first two minutes, ‘The Guard’ easily cements its place as one of the best comedies of the year, and it only gets better from there.
