Watched a few films over the weekend as I am behind on viewings.
Deadpool and Wolverine - 8.5/10
Laughs a minute with this one, even with its seemingly boring plot line. The cameos, gags, one liners were all on point - even the baddie/s. Had a great time watching this one and I'm not even a fan of Deadpool. I want to say so much more but its easy to spoil this one.
Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End - 8/10
This is rather good! It is a Spanish film based on some books and focuses on a guy and his kitty cat hoping to reunite with his family during the outbreak of a pandemic. The zombies are more akin to WWZ and the Rage virus zombies (from 28 days/weeks). The film has a COVID outbreak feel to it before descending into Days Gone (video game) territory. It isn't action packed but it is well paced throughout. The film does end on a sort of cliff hanger which suggests a follow up is coming.
Terrifier 1, 2, 3
No rating for these as they're all quite good depending on how much insane gore you can handle. The films are a throwback to the Freddy K/Jason Vorhees 80's slashers but with more gore. Saw the first film and thought nothing of it, however the 2nd and 3rd films introduce us to the brilliant Lauren LaVera and her character who has some important backstory to her as she fights off the demonic Art the Clown/Mime who is literally hilarious in his own twisted, sick sense. Honestly, this guy/thing is a Chucky grown up but with that infantile sense of humour. You feel his evil presence but you can't help but laugh at some of his antics.
If you like old school gory slashers then you will enjoy these films.
