There's a fair number of reviews on here, I assume from Americans, complaining that there are no Scottish accents but instead lots of "British" accents.
I will say but two things on this:
1) there are in fact a few Scottish actors, and accents, amongst the predominantly English cast
2) Apparently Americans have absolutely no idea what the word "British" means.
As for the film itself? Oh it's absolutely terrible. A sub-Hallmark travesty. A Christmas abomination.
There is no doubt that 2020 is the worst year in post-war history, but this is compelling evidence that 1978 was the second worst.
A video shop classic from my youth. Ator is so bad, it should be giving me stars for watching it, not the other way around.
A film whose intro promises so much (tits, gore) but delivers so little (no more tits, not much more gore). Woeful.
A high flying, tragically widowed New York-based events planner played by Danika MacKellar (that lady who wrote those maths books to my kids, Winnie from The Wonder Years to me) takes a Christmas assignment at Dollywood, which conveniently happens to be near her hometown. There, she has to organise a 30th anniversary bash for, oh I don't know, something, and has to work alongside a handsome singleton, about whom I can remember neither character name, job, nor actor's name.
Dolly…
Everything about this is terrible, from the nausea-inducing shaky camera, through the undefined characters to the nonsensical plot.
But the film's biggest crime is that it's just really lazy.
John McClane complains that he's "on vacation" numerous times in the film. He's not. It's just a crap attempt at a running joke.
There's a scene where one of the characters gets shot. McClane says the guy will bleed out and needs to go to hospital. He's then fine for the…
Small-town Colorado is a long, long way from the origins of both these franchises and neither Predators nor Xenomorphs should be appearing in terrible teen B movies.
AVP Requiem is almost incomprehensible - it's appallingly lit, there's far too many characters (all ill-defined) and it is so confusingly plotted I had to resort to reading the Wikipedia plot synopsis along with it. It wasn't until I did so that I twigged that unlike in AVP, there was just the one…
An American small town is terrorised by a massive animal while the mayor tries to convince folks they're safe in order to protect the tourism dollar.
Hmm.
The Beaster Bunny, as it's known on Amazon Prime, treats its audience with absolute contempt, a sneering horror comedy that is just really, really shit. From the can't-even-be-bothered-trying "special" effects to a scene towards the end where literally five crew members are clearly visible in the background (I paused and counted them), almost…
Ultra low budget, ultra stupid Kiwi "comedy" "horror" that isn't even about a killer sofa but rather a killer reclining chair. They should've gone with the previously considered title The Furnishing. It's got far too many characters - there's a scene towards where the end where our intrepid policeman Inspector Gravy (!) brings someone in for questionning and I still have no idea who he was.
A demon possesses a reclining chair and becomes obsessed with a young lady, kiling…
Staggeringly incompetent on every level. The final death is the least satisfying thing ever committed to celluloid. The only reason it doesn't get half a star is because the end credits were written in a moderately amusing French restaurant menu style.
A crushing disappointment. Everything that made the original a classic has been rebooted to within an inch of its life. References to the original (from here on in referred to as "The Good Ghostbusters") litter this mess but great care appears to have been taken to ensure each of those familiar moments is made in some way inferior.
Cameos from the Good Ghostbusters' cast members Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Annie Potts, Ernie Hudson and Sigourney Weaver are for the most…
Dreadful 80s also-ran slasher with a truly terrible ending - the kind of ending that 5-year-olds are discouraged from writing in stories at school. The entire film makes absolutely no sense. Awful.
