Run
Run is the very first Cambodian zombie film ever made, and thus consequently Cambodia’s best ever zombie film.

Insidious: Chapter 2
I should make clear that I have no problem with the story that Chapter 2 has to tell. Everything that happens is fine. It’s just that the execution is so damn clumsy.

You’re Next
The main flaw, however, is the infuriating screenplay. It’s equal parts intelligent and stupid – and I mean truly 50/50. One second you’ll find yourself impressed at the intelligent decisions made by the characters, next moments you’ll be gobsmacked by the idiocy of their actions.

V/H/S/2
Evan’s ‘Safe Haven’ is the longest film and easily worth the price of admission. Whilst I wasn’t particularly taken with The Raid, he really excels here.

Blood-C
It would help if you’d seen Blood: The Last Vampire beforehand, but don’t expect to understand how the two are related for quite some time. A true re-imagining, Blood-C pulls no punches and is a stunning piece of work. A must for anime fans.

The Conjuring
The crowd in my cinema lapped this film up. There are a number of great scares, and the film never gets too silly – something that Insidious has a problem with, particularly in the final act.

Crawlspace
It’s a near-relentless bombardment of action, violence and gore, and those with a weak stomach best watch something else. Whilst the pacing is impressive, I did find myself enjoying the one or two calmer moments the most. For the most part, this is a cinematic onslaught.

The 25th Reich
The cinematography makes the most of the Victorian bushland, and as the film begins we’re treated to a nicely oversaturated image that boasts bold blue skies and bright green leaves. Once the freaky stuff started happening, however, I was disappointed to see that the images changed to a washed out blue.

World War Z
It focusses on the first few days, where everyone’s just been zombified and are running through the streets biting people. The first half hour of World War Z really rams home this concept – the initial explosion of infection, so to speak, is staggering to behold – and it’s a case of nail-biting tension from the get-go as Gerry and his family struggle to reach safety.

Warm Bodies
Hoult is absolutely brilliant as R. I can’t begin to imagine how difficult the performance must have been, trying to strike a balance between silly comedy and romantic tragedy. The same goes for the film as a whole: it manages to walk that fine line, such that you really want these two to get together despite the wackiness of the premise.
