Horror Film Review; Antichrist

Image result for antichrist filmAntichrist a 2009 Danish art film written and directed by Lars Van Trier stars Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbough. This film attempts to explore Satanism and how it is present though nature and women.

*SPOILERS ALERT* (If you haven't seen the film sorry)


I have been putting this review off for weeks due to the fact I have absolutely NO idea what the fuck went on in this film. Be warned this is not a film to watch with parents as it is mentally scaring.

The basic plot of the film is that the couples child falls out of a window to his death while they are intimate. This causes the wife to go insane and basically bitch ass crazy. This leads to some weird sex scenes and them going to the woods were she castrates her husband and mutilates her self in the process. Of course she is killed in the end and the final scene sees Willem Dafoe walking though a field full of women with a busted leg and no penis.

Overall I don't know what to make of this film it is just a porno instead of a horror film as throughout I was questioning how this film is deemed a horror and isn't being watched by horny people. If you do take anything from this review just don't watch it with anyone whose opinion matters to you.

Comedy Film Review; Anchorman 2 the legend continues


Anchorman 2 the legend continues released in 2013 is the sequel to the hilarious first film anchorman. This film stars the original cast of Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Paul Rudd, David Koechner and Christina Appelgate and sees the cast in the same slapstick comedy as the first film. 

*SPOILER ALERT*
(if you haven't seen it yet sorry)

Anchorman 2 the legend continues follows Ron Burgundy and his fall from the top and triumphant return (basically the same plot as the first film). Throughout the audience learn more about Ron and veronica's relationship and see that their jobs come between them and their child. In the film Ron losses his job while Veronica becomes the top TV anchor. Of course this causes a massive clash between the two and Ron's ambition to be back on top. 

For me the film was a disappointed as many jokes were recycled from the first film and it followed the same plot with exceptions of a shark and Ron going blind. Although there are many great things introduced in this film as we find out more about Brick and how he deals with his feeling for a women which leads to their marriage ( the shark of course appears but I will overlook this).

The best scene in the film which had me laughing out loud was the fight scene. This is the one bit I wont spoil as it needs to be seen

Over all I give this film ***stars as it was disappointing to begin with but is still a good film to watch.
