Like me, many will kind of feel short changed here. You might of expected much more thrills, chills, even spills, What we have are 4 stories, each one lacking proper application of horror, even the last story. The one which really p***ed me off was No 3, of guilt ridden minister, and deserter, Henricksen, being pursued by a big black. But visually fascinating pick up truck. No 1, is virtually a serial killer tale, that's it, with an ending which will kind of p**s you off, No 2, annoying tale with Estevez as an obsessed video gamer, which kind of brought shades of Maximum Overdrive and a machine malfunction/explosion. Oh, and No 4, the star being a really big rat, the best feature of this low delivery horror, invading a families life, the little very well enunciated daughter, over acting, intelligent and wise beyond her years. Also bl**dy annoying. Need I say anymore, probably cause there really any more. Still an entertaining, and worth watch. Just don't expect, what you will be expecting, or should be.
Chris Rock playing an unfunny comedian, imitates real life to me, as I've never found the guy funny, only when he repeats a line, and throws an F word in it. I actually thinks he's a better actor than a comedian, and that's saying much. Obviously borrowing from other films, right off the bat, HEART AND SOULS for one, a much better film, our failing comic character, while chasing a skirt, and rushing to save her from danger, is run down by a bus, and ends up in Heaven, a real dream like place. Not so bad, only his love interest has also ended up there, but has no idea who he is. To be recognized by her, he gets the chance to change bodies with a ruthless uncaring senator, who's really fat bodied with average looks, which of course Rock, doesn't know, but changes his persona. Bit of an interesting premise from here, with this lighthearted comedy with some good morals, with a couple.of laughs. Ends quite asudden, as I quite got into this. For Rock fans.
Merhi and Pepin are at it, again with another B entry into B ville. They make movies faster than I can eat a hot dog. They do have a style in their story telling, and there's always some shocking scene. Here we have two strong written male characters, first bumping heads, but soon becoming some sort of vigilante team, our ex boxer and repo man, bringing a lot of heat down. Some not so bad acting, especially from the female players, who are quite strong in their roles. Proving again bad B films, don't have to have bad acting Quite tragic heavy hitting moments near the end, but again this isn't a bad Pepin/Merhi effort, but doesn't put it in the good or average category. Quite stunned to find a smaller player became a bigger name/someone of a stud. Strictly undemanding fare. Just appreciate it, for what it's worth.
