Cowards Corner Horror Reviews
Jamie gives his take on Coming Soon (Horrorphilia Ep. 6), The Children (Ep. 2), Dead Snow (Ep. 2), and also Pontypool. Its refreshing to see a different take on some of the movies me and Borp reviewed.

Coming Soon
A Ghost horror movie from Thailand? Can they change it up and bring some originality to this stale genre? Or should they only make Tony Jaa movies? The answer is: Please bring us Ong Bak 3. The story has the right idea but runs out of steam with overused sequences. A movie called Evil Spirit is being shown to the cast and
crew. The projectionist has plans to sell the movie as a pirate DVD. The guy that is recording the movie on his camcorder vanishes. Then begins the quest to see what happens. There is a hanging death scene in the movie so after you watch it you later die. It does explain it all but it has been done before. A good ghost movie has to be scary. How many times has someone looked down a hall and not seen anything then turned around and bam there is the ghost. This happens non stop and you saw it coming miles away. This reminded me of the Eye, Ring, and Grudge all blended together. I was very bored half way through and was just waiting to see how it wrapped it up and I can only say one thing Halloween 3.
Not recommended.

The Children Review
I know I am late on this one everyone else has talked about it. I have been lazy it was sitting on my desk for a few months now. I am glad I watched it for it was great, way better then I was expecting. Simply put a family reunion in the woods were no cops can get to. So you know some shit is going down. Soon the kids go
straight Damian on there parent�fs ass. How do you direct kids to be evil, scary and downright creepy? This director pulled it off. Parents and kids are killed off in gruesome ways. It does not explain shit which is one thing that hurt it, but
it is set up for a sequel. You know how Jaws made people not go in the water. I do not have kids but if I did I would never take them to a secluded house in the woods. Highly recommended.

Pontypool
Here is a movie that works in so many ways. Many people will hate because it is advertised as a Zombie movie. It really is not but it plays on your fears and works out great. Grant Mazzy is a new DJ at a small radio station in Pontypool Canada. Reports start coming in that something is going on. Some kind of outbreak. They stay in the station and report what they find out. You learn as
they do and the tension rises. As you find out more it becomes apararent how the writers wanted to make a different type of movie and for that I was thankful. Zombie movies are starting to get a little overdone. With some of the best acting I have seen the story draws you in and kept me till the end. At first viewing the second
half did lack the same punching power. After thinking about it a few days I saw were they were going. It deserves more than one viewing and appreciation.

Dead Snow
Watching the commercials you have a good idea this will not be a smart film just crazy. I love the idea of Nazi zombies and was looking forward to this. As most films like these start we have a group of young adults that are going out to a cabin out in the mountains again secluded. There is a back story that explains the
zombies and when they show up gruesome deaths happen. The survivors decide to fight back which was nice. You had to wait a good 30 minutes before the killing begins. Overall it was lots of fun and would not see it again unless I had a house full of drunk people. A good fun entry to the Zombie market.
