Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016)
Not worth the money it cost to create.
**Not really much spoilers but just in case**
I do love zombie films, as long as they are done right. Unfortunately, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter did not make me change my mind about long drawn out sequels that become unoriginal and pretty cliché. They have carried on Resident Evil franchise for way to long, bending the past story lines of the previous films and pretending like none of it had happened (how the t virus was created for example). Don't get me wrong, I was a fan of the first and second films but for me personally, it went downhill from there .Plus the title is The Final Chapter but they hint at the end of more to come, are you kidding me?! No just stop. Putting into account that I was impressed with Iain Glen's acting and some of the fight scene's were entertaining, I've given this film a 4 out of 10 rating.
Please Hollywood, stop ruining good classic films to reboot them into a mess for profit.
The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009)
Shocking? No. Made me feel dirty? No. Disappointed? Yes!
After watching this film tonight for the first time (I know, i'm late), I felt I should leave a quick and too the point review.
My summary does sum it up really. Years ago I had been warned by a few people to never watch The Human Centipede because of 'dirty messed up ideas'. Now i'm just sitting here wondering 'were these people being serious?.' For the first 20 minutes, I think this film would suit the comedy genre much better, wont give any spoilers but i'll say this, ever felt like you were hoping the two stupid people in a film would just die already? Well expect that feeling to rise back up when watching this. The acting was also not great, did improve a little as the film got on it's way to the end, once the credits started rolling. Don't get me wrong though, it wasn't the worst acting i've ever seen, unfortunately.
Now the reason why I didn't get as 'shocked' as some of the other reviewers, I assure you that i'm not one of these weirdo's who get off on torture porn/horrors with a little blood. I'm a normal 24 year old female. But as I watched A Serbian Film only a few months ago for the first time, i'm very unlikely to get shocked at this. A Serbian Film really did shock me and I personally think the shock factor was more extreme but better. So when I was watching The Human Centipede naturally comparing, I found the hype didn't live up to the name. The stretched out scenes did not add anything for me, I knew at the back of my mind I just had the thought 'Is this it?'
Plus, the script is nothing to really rave about either. So now i'm just sat here debating with myself whether to give it a 4 or a 5 rating...
I'll give it a 5 as i'm feeling generous. To be honest, think I've rated one of the Bring it On films a 6 so that really does sum it up.
Would I recommend this film? Well watch it online for FREE or on Netflix, don't pay for it because it's not worth the money. Watch it once and then watch the unedited version of A Serbian Film, then make your own mind up.

Srpski film (2010)
Not as bad as I was expecting....
When I say 'bad' I mean 'messed up/disturbing/twisted' etc. After reading a lot of reviews about this film, maybe I was over prepared to see worse then what I did see, that it became less shocking. Of course I avoided the spoiler reviews as I don't like to know much about a film before I've watch it, all I knew that it was apparently 'disturbing'. Don't get me wrong, there were moments when I was watching it and thought 'what the f*ck am I watching?'. When it comes to the idea of it being disturbing, think only a few scene's will leave a 5 minute lasting effect. Of course, it depends on the person and how easily shocked they can be.
***SPOILERS***
When he cut her head off while having sex with her and when the family scene happened near the end, those two moments in the film seemed to add to the shock value of the film. The rest seemed like torture porn. The part with the baby being born and then raped, was probably the only bit that made me say to myself 'oh bloody hell!', that part did well to add shock value.
***END SPOILERS**
So did I find this disturbing? Think it's up there with a few other films which i've given my own title 'what did I just watch?'. Did it make me feel dirty watching it? No, because it's a film and films are suppose to at times, delve into challenging subjects that can shock people that these kind of acts can take place in the real world at the hidden end of society. In that sense, I think the film achieved what it wanted to achieve.
'Why did I rate it 6 out of 10 instead of 10 out of 10?' Simple really. 10 out of 10 ratings for me, are for the best films ever made. This film is not one of those, it's average. Average films for me, are on the 5-7 scale. I was debating on the 6 rating instead of 7 but think a 6 rating is fair. The acting was OK, the story was OK, script was OK. Everything was on par with a 6.
'Would I recommend this film?' Yes but only to those who do not get all squeamish over a minor thing. Watch it and let it take you where it' trying to go. It's worth at least a one time watch, could you re-watch it over and over? Hmm not sure. Watch it online for free and don't bother paying for the DVD version. And yes, it was the uncut with English subs that I watched. Would not recommend this for anyone under 14 years old (obviously).
6/10
Mercury Rising (1998)
Late review of Mercury Rising.
I don't understand why this film has such a low rating, is it the plot or acting? To me, both were good and did exactly what it set out to achieve. Does this film scream top movie of all time? Definitely not but it's an easy to watch film with great acting from Bruce Willis, Alec Baldwin and the main child. I've seen much worse acting from other children his age and he played his part well. All of the supporting cast also did a good job and none of them were miscast in their roles. I've probably seen this film more than 50 times since it's release, just as entertaining as the first time I watched it. Won't leave any spoilers here but all I'll say is, if you haven't given this film a go by now and want a film to relax to, this film is great to pass the time.
9/10
