This is definitely one of the worst films I've ever seen. It's not even a case of being so bad it's good, it's simply so bad it's really bad. The acting is terrible, there is no plot, no suspense, and it's not even remotely scary. Not a good thing for a horror movie.

Two girls get their tops off in the first few minutes for no real reason, not that I'm complaining. After that though, there are no more boobies to be seen, and therefore even that reason for sitting through the rest of this celluloid cowpat goes out the window. On reflection not a bad suggestion for what to do with the DVD.

It could be worse though, I borrowed the DVD from a friend. I only had to sit through it, but he paid money for it!

I was introduced to Black Books by my father-in-law who knew I liked Bill Bailey. I watched the whole first series in one sitting and ordered the DVD this morning!

This is one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time, and, in my opinion, ranks alongside Spaced. The humour is brilliantly surreal, the first episode featuring Bernard picking a fight with a group of skinheads to avoid filling out his tax returns "Which one of you bitches wants to dance?", and Manny accidentally swallowing and absorbing "The Little Book of Calm". This leaves him wandering the streets in a peaced-out fugue, wearing a hospital gown and sandals.

It's only a shame I missed the first two series when they were broadcast, as the third series is about to start and I've not seen the second.

I wanted to like this movie. No, really I did. I like Rob Zombie's music, I like horror and cheesy splatter movies.

The opening scenes with the robbery and Dr Spaulding's museum were good, but sadly it all started to go downhill from there. At one end of the spectrum there are great movies. It may be because they're critically acclaimed, or it may just be because you had a blast watching them. At the other end are the terrible movies, sometimes you enjoy these too, although not necessarily for the right reasons, and sometimes you hate them. Exactly in the middle is the dead zone. Movies that are so mediocre that you don't enjoy it, you don't hate it, you just coast through it waiting for it to finish. And when it does you're not left feeling anything at all really.

This is a dead zone movie, it had a few genuinely disturbing scenes but the rest was so sloppy my overall impression was one of boredom more than anything else. I don't regret watching it, but I wouldn't bother to do so again.
