Beyond The Black Rainbow… Trippy Nothing Else Just Trippy

Posted on by jadedsteelereviews

Wow, wow, wow, wow… this film is just wow! Visually amazing the soundtrack is a proper 80s throwback the plot is a little hard to follow at some points, but don’t worry about the plot with this one, this is a film where you can sit back relax and let the visuals take you on a weird acid like trip without the acid.

Clocking in at around two hours the plot starts with a classic 80s throwback and cinematography that’s straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey, I can’t tell you much about the plot because it’s quite a tricky one to tell, but really you shouldn’t watch it for the plot it’s more of a visual experience, and boy this film has some amazing visuals right from the off, from the bright white room where a young girl is staying, to a glowing white pyramid in the middle of a dark and dimly lit room, now I’m not gonna lie the film is slow, like really really slow, this is the sort of film that you have to watch when you have absolutely nothing to do, oh and probably watch it in a quiet room where there’s no distractions, while I’m at it don’t watch it if anyone you know is epileptic… trust me not a good idea. The acting is impressive (trust me you will hate the therapist/psychiatrist guy)

All in all Beyond The Black Rainbow is a visually impressive slow burner of a film and a right proper throwback to the sci-fi movies of the seventies and eighties final rating 10/10 for the amazing visual hypnotic journey you take.

Oh by the way this film was requested by a user who goes by the name warriornonoba shout out to him/her for recommending this fantastic film one of my new favourites at the moment, so as always guys catch ya later 🙂

The Belko Experiment… What Even Was This Movie

Posted on by jadedsteelereviews

Oh boy this one is a doozy of a film, by that I mean it was awful, I had heard of this film for quite some time as it kept popping up on my recommended list on YouTube clips, trailers and sneak peeks, I went in blind and came out feeling sick to my stomach after watching this, it really is a mess of a film.

The Belko Experiment follows eighty people in a Colombian office block, for reasons unknown they send only the Colombian employees away only keeping the American employees, said employees have a chip in their head said to be a tracker, ah but a tracker it is not no it is in fact a tiny ball bearing explosive (yeah you can see where this is going) so all out war ensues, and our American office workers are forced to kill each other.

Now I for one hated this film, I mean it was a huge pile of dog faeces the plot was terrible as were the decisions made by the characters in the movie…. now I’m going to throw in a disclaimer for people who are easily offended (you have been warned) I can only compare it to the selection process made by Nazi troops in Auschwitz, that decision was basically people who have kids under the age of eighteen to the left and people who are fifty or over to the right, we then get a lovely Latin American rendition of the classic Mamas and The Papas song California Dreaming, the people who are fifty and over are then shot in the head.

Trust me the soundtrack gets even better as one final massacre occurs all while Tchaikovsky’s Concerto No.1 In B Minor plays… oh did I mention right at the start of the film we get a Latin American version of Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive, yeah the soundtrack guy really needs to have his head checked.

All in all The Belko Experiment is a right bloody mess of a film it’s horrible and made me feel really uncomfortable watching certain scenes, particularly when one of the employees pulls out his wallet and shows us a picture of his children only to have them tossed on the floor and for the guy to be shot in the back of the head. So do yourself a favour and give The Belko Experiment a miss and if someone ever offers you an opportunity to work in an office in Colombia think twice and say “hell no nah ah nope no way Jose” trust me give this film a miss, final rating 0/0 until next time guys catch ya later!

It Comes At Night A24 Produce Another Smash Hit Movie

Posted on by jadedsteelereviews

Ah independent horrors, you could get an outstanding cult hit or a dud, It Comes At Night is in the cult hit area, directed by Trey Edward Schulz director of a little independent movie known as Krisha (which by the way is an outstanding movie)

The marketing for this film was minimal no one and I mean no one had a clue what this was going to be about, the teaser didn’t provide us with anything https://youtu.be/tNE8oUtDaWk you can check that out here, then the movie hit us with an official trailer, which again didn’t provide us with anything. Then we got the film, what starts off as an isolated claustrophobic horror quickly descends in to a 28 days later esque type movie which is amazing, the film has a few jump scares and the plot is easy to follow, a few strangers end up secluded in a cabin in the woods only to become infected with an unknown virus, think Cabin Fever if Eli Roth didn’t add the gore and disgusting parts.

For a film that is relatively unknown it quickly shows that it can become a big independent horror flick, however A24 have only gone and released another small independent horror film… okay it’s more of a romantic horror without all the jump scares, A Ghost Story it’s titled, just watch the trailer and decide for yourselves because this film will be an acquired taste I guarantee it.

Any I’m digressing quite a bit, It Comes At Night is an amazing horror that you need to see final score 10/10 it’s dark it’s creepy it’s an amazing film all round definitely check this one out but until next time catch you later

Wes Craven dies aged 76 

Posted on by jadedsteelereviews

Sadly I’m not reviewing a movie, I have just read that famous horror director Wes Craven has sadly passed away aged 76 of brain cancer, Craven was best known for bringing to our screens the legendary horror movie villain Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare On Elm Street and of course the teen slasher horror hit Scream Craven’s first feature film was The Last House On The Left (if you haven’t seen this movie I would really recommend it) he then went on to direct The Hills Have Eyes (the 1970s original not the crappy remake) after seeing some of his work he had become one of my favourite horror directors and his films have gone on to spawn franchises and have been made landmarks in the horror genre, my thoughts are with his family and friends who knew him, r.i.p Wes Craven 1939-2015
