Beneath the Dark (2010)
Much better than many similar attempts!
This is probably a good 7 Stars, but I've given it an extra few to try an outweigh the absolutely undeserved 1 Star. I know we all like or loathe different things but this is so far from bad that this review is entirely inaccurate. ***SPOILER START It was pretty obvious to me within 5 minutes that the lead characters were dead, ***FINISH; but for me, it made no difference, I was interested to see how, why, when etc, and I enjoyed getting there! The actors did a great job, with a stand out performance from Angela Featherstone, Although Jamie-Lynn Siglers effort was for me the least convincing. Some elements I have seen elsewhere, but in this case they were repeated well, and I didn't mind at all; in any case the stories pack was shuffled in such a way, that I wasn't quite sure which cards I was going to be dealt, but by the end there were a few unexpected aces in the Directors hand. I enjoyed the look and overall feel of the film, with a lovely 'sunset walking' shot at the end. Supernatural thrillers with big budgets & buckets of blood are ten a penny, and most are dreadful, but this one entertains on a fraction of their budgets, and succeeds where most of them have failed.
Into the Labyrinth (1981)
I don't deny...
I don't remember the detail of the previous writer, but I do remember loving the evil witch Pamel Salem, I always like the baddies!! I always hated that she never quite got her hands on the Nidus, as I wanted to see what happened when she did. The previous submission missed out the shows famous line, which I've never forgotten 'I deny you the Nidus' very dramatic!! Pamela is a wonderful baddie, and is definitely an underused performer, although I believe she often graces the west end stage. On the show again, I do remember it being a bit patchy, with very odd story line, sometimes it was great, and sometimes, I would just think is it over yet??
