Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

kosmasp My summary line could be talking about the genders or something else. Although you'd only really know, if you watch the episode. A very interesting one, with a strong premise and as another user has said (and I do agree on that) could be either a movie or a TV show itself. But instead we get one episode. Almost hardly enough to get us going, with this idea ... but too little to be really engaging ... especially with the ending on hand here.While there have also been people who liked the ending, I think it was letting the movie down a bit. It seemed as if they were out of ideas at the end. There is a few things, that would have been nice to have an answer too. On the other hand, maybe the audio commentary on the disc will provide some of the answers. I will have to watch/hear that some day.All in all, a strong episode, strong performances, but there isn't that much gore and some people might dismiss this as not being "horror".

jinx_malone and i think it's better by a longshot than the majority of other masters of horror episodes, but i really think the 'alien species is slowly eradicating the population of earth' was a fairly anticlimactic ending and i wish it had been left out. everything i had seen up to that point was scary and effective for me, not to mention deeply disturbing. i would have been more than happy to have been left in the dark as to why or how it all started. learning the cause of the violence wasn't necessary for my enjoyment.i know the aliens are present in the original short story, but i didn't think they worked well in the context of a one-hour episode.elliott gould was great and jason priestly (shockingly) both did admirably well in their roles.flawed, but worth your while anyhow.

MARIO GAUCI THE SCREWFLY SOLUTION is my fourth venture into this promising TV series and what attracted me primarily to this particular episode was the involvement of Joe Dante (whom I often saw – and even spoke to twice – during the 61st Venice Film Festival in 2004); however, the fact that a hunk – BEVERLY HILLS 90210’s Jason Priestley – was going to be the lead didn’t seem too promising on paper and, in fact, the recurring steamy sex scenes (while related to the theme of the episode) almost made it seem like something out of the RED SHOE DIARIES series at times!Still, Priestley’s bedfellow – Briton Kerry Norton – gives a good performance, is the real protagonist of the story and, ultimately, the best thing about it; Elliott Gould is also on hand to offer fine support as Priestley’s scientific partner and, eventually, together with Norton, one of the last untainted earthly survivors.Unfortunately, the theme – the male population is infected by a virus which makes them viciously exterminate every female they come across indiscriminately – while interesting and engrossing in itself is just too similar to that of 28 DAYS LATER (2002) and its sequel, 28 WEEKS LATER (2007); besides, its resemblance to the screwfly’s predicament is tenuous at best (though the revelation as to the source of the epidemic is interesting).

Poe-17 I love the frequently misnomered "Masters of Horror" series. Horror fans live in a constant lack of nourishment. Projects like this (and the similar "Greenlight Project" with gave us "Feast" - like it or lump it) are breeding grounds for wonderful thought bubbles in the minds of directors with a horror bent to develop and bring to maturation food for we who love to dine on horror.This one began with a kernel of really-kool-idea and ran ... right off the edge of "where in the world am I going with this?!!!".I don't know how to spoil the spoiled but "SPOILER AHEAD" All of a sudden ... no, there was that light drifting across the night sky earlier ... we have long haired luminescent aliens (huh? ... HUH?) brain drilling males and ... yeah, I get it but ... well ... the worst curse of storytelling - a rousing and promising set up without a rewarding denouement.Cue to storytellers ... your build up has to have a payoff that exceeds build up. Not the other way around. Storytelling math 101.End of Spoilers - Big Oops!
