Fragment
(2009)
Johnny's comments:
Fragment is about a war photographer who gets hit
in the head by a piece of radioactive shrapnel, which gets embedded in his
brain. A doctor predicts that he has not long to live, so he spends his
last days roaming around Sydney with his camera, while a pretty young girl
films a documentary of his final days. The man has a couple of experiences
where he photographs dead animals that miraculously come back to life.
Meanwhile across town, police shoot dead a particularly nasty serial
killer (boringly titled the DVD Killer. Police should get someone creative
to name these crooks...), where a stash of his snuff films are found. The
photographer moves into a new apartment that may have been inhabited by
someone who is now missing and when he accidentally discovers a bloodied
DVD, it becomes more clear. It's another snuff film from the serial killer
that was filmed in his apartment. Using his trusty camera, he photographs
the girl on the DVD and as before, the woman comes alive. But, so does the
nasty serial killer and guess who wants to keep on killing. So, is the
photographer going completely crazy and imagining this or is this oh so
very real. Imaginative horror thriller that is probably a decent director
away from been superb, but is very watchable (and particularly nasty)
nonetheless.
Scoop's note:
This is such a monumental effort and the files
are so large that I split the project
up.
Today we have the second batch from Bree Robertson. There's
still MUCH more Robertson to
come!
Blood Night: The Legend of Mary Hatchet
(2009)
Johnny's comments:
Blood Night is a B-horror film about a group of
popular students who have a party on 'Blood Night', an annual celebration
in honour of Mary Hatchet who butchered up numerous people in a mental
asylum because they stole her baby. During the party, the usual stuff
happens and then of course the killing starts and boy are a lot people
gonna get butchered, each more gory than the last. Has Mary Hatchet risen
from the grave or is it someone else, perhaps a relative that has had that
killing gene passed on. Wasn't a fan of the film at all, in fact the lost
me about 20 minutes in when it introduced the characters and all of them
are unlikable arseholes. Couldn't get to the butchering quick enough,
except it takes forever to kill these arseholes off. And the killer
couldn't be more obvious and least likely. I mean when Mary goes crazy
after getting her first period, you're guaranteed that the killer is a
girl, how 'bout making it the smallest one that takes forever to swing a
pick. Couldn't someone fight back? Shit, when someone finally does, she is
killed real easy. Bah! Again, you know the procedure, it gets ugly, so be
warned.
