Dark Walker (2003)
ooh not so scary monsters
I've seen worse acting, hell I've been in worse films. It's a small cheap budget horror film that doesn't have the insidious cgi nonsense monster that is slightly less scary than being shouted at by your mom. No it's not a great film, no it isn't going to change the world but I think that's kind of the point. There are directors and actors who can pull off horror and make it sit in your bones - this isn't one of them. The actors are a cross between charmingly bad and charmingly silly. Do you know what I find more annoying than bad horror? People who think that sneering at heartfelt, try-hard horror is the same as being a master of horror. You think it's so easy? make one of your own. Roger Corman, Sam Raimi and even John Carpenter were sneered at for years. This film is a perfect popcorn film. It doesn't ask you to suspend belief, it doesn't want you to except that the main character was dead all along or that the people living in the village had really turned their back on the 20th century, all it ask is buy some beers, buy some popcorn and laugh all the way through with your best mates. Sometimes that's all we want or can ask from some types of films.
Ghost Rider (2007)
Hollywood once again ruin another Comic book.
Nicholas Cage last made a good film in what year? I can think of Moonstruck and Birdie. They were last films he actually did any acting in. These days he's either really not trying or grimacing like he has a neurological disorder. Everyone involved in Ghost Rider should hang their heads in shame. - actually Nichols "I'm NOT BALD" Cage can just use his unconvincing hairpiece to cover his face. I cannot believe they made a sequel. When will the Studio system stop doing this to the fans? I will be honest and say that Ghost Rider was one of my least favourite titles but it was Kafka compared to this ill-conceived, poorly written, offence to the intellect.
