Undeniably stunning fan movie.
19 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the finest science fiction fan films, i saw in a long time, not one minute into the film, and we see and engineer running from an alien queen, how awesome is that !!

The atmosphere, along with the amazing sets, few movies have managed to create the same kind eerie feeling.

The story starts with mr. Weyland the son telling lieutenant Felix that he sent a group of scientists back to a new base in lv426, they go there and are all slaughtered by the aliens, loosing communication with them, he sends the mercenaries there, they too are trapped by the aliens, sometime later after escaping the nightmare, they encounter a spaceship drifting through space (this reminds me of event horizon) and go inside to check it out, only to find an alien egg, once the egg opens inside their spaceship, the horror begins again, as the remaining survivors have to fight for their lives, against an incredible fast alien, that uses air ducts, i think this one is an oustanding creature, because i was so smart in some occasions in the movie, the animations are top notch, i could only give a 9 to this, because is that good, will watch it more times, to see it even better.

A lesson in good filmmaking.

A good old memory lane Exterminator sequel.
22 July 2023
Do you remember when movies were made just to be movies, and not to push political agendas? Do you remember when movies where meant to be fun, and not lessons? Do you remember when action movies had a semblance of depth and were not just reliant on CGI?

And so do the makers of The Exterminator franchise, so these movies are pure gold in a short format.

Just good solid action movies that took the time to build character and create interesting stories. The Exterminator Don Teschio´s Revenge is not 2 hours of people getting their head blown off but there´s a lot of killing.

I was pleasantly surprised at how patient the film is, how it builds its story to what I found to be a gripping end.

But it´s just the end of this movie not the franchise, that after credits scenes was intense.

A prequel/sequel that delivers on all aspects.
27 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Director Rui Constantino brings us another fan film, this time in the jeepers creepers franchise, i was expecting a bomb and was left speechless with this movie, he went to basics with this one, bringing it on a prequel/sequel that delivers what the viewer wishes to see.

We´ve got the gore, the fear and scary, as the creeper takes a walk along with the viewer into his world, in here he is the protagonist, and we see him a lot, instead of many others were the creature only appears for a few minutes.

The tension his on point, the story brings the elements of horror, and some gore and violence.

For me the best scene of the movie is the summoning of the creeper by the warlock, the crows are flying all over the place like crazy when he finally makes his appearance.

It´s epic.

Jason returns in a good way.
11 March 2023
The Jason mythology is still here. His mother is still involved, and we see a little of Jason´s early days before what happend i dig that a lot, always wanted to see more of the town, the town folks talking about him, from what i´ve seen, everybody knows about him in this movie, but nobody goes to crystal lake anymore because they know that is cursed, only the teenagers venture there to die.

It doesn´t have a lot of killing like the original movies but it has a good premise, jumping from place to place and see Jason stalking the lake in search for victims, like a normal day in his life.

Good cast, good effects, good story = it´s 9 for me.

The Darkside of the force is even stronger on this one.
26 December 2022
The character development and the connection to the original trilogy is truly wonderful, the action scenes are amazing and truly worth watching, we witness the downfall of Vader as balances between good and evil, memory´s of the past haunting trough the movie, love that so much even the easter eggs from the obi wan series, love this, just loved it.

Amazing movie, not to mention Kenobi that has an extended cameo on this one.

Amazing fights, the story is awesome the darkside rules on this one, i´ve seen it 3 times, and will see more times for sure, this fan film is a true christimas gift from this studio.

For me is a solid 10.

The exterminator returns with his massive flamethrower frying the street scum...
25 May 2022
Just like John Rambo this movie captures a Jake Eastland the son of the exterminator that grabs the guns and goes to fight criminals on the streets of Detroit.

The premise is simple, and i do like a vigilante films, i already saw all of the old ones from 70´s to 80´s, so i couldn´t miss this one.

The cast works well together, the soundtrack, special effects (a little CGI) are cool.

But the main focus for me his the legacy, it carried the movie to it´s objective until the finale.

Solid watch, follow the clues to live.
12 February 2022
I admit I rather enjoyed the film. It is not really horror, but more of a thriller. I wish they had spent more time on the clues so the viewers could play along, i would see a feature film of this one, if they made it.

The format is original, the delivery, acting, production and finished products are all really good.

And the ending surprised me a lot, i wasn´t expecting it at all, for that 8/10.

Jaws Returns (2021)
7/10
It has some bite.
21 August 2021
The acting is alright, the scenes with the shark are really well done, a fun popcorn flick.

The shark looks more realistic and if you can hang in there, you'll be rewarded with some good escapist entertainment, the gathering of all the fishermans going to sea is great also.

7 of 10 stars for Jaws Returns.

A long awaited return.
18 May 2021
If something is good to recognize, is what other directors have done in previous years. This film is really a tribute to John Carpenter, in every way. Each take remembers the movie 1982.

It is fully recommended for fans of the genre and for those who want to see a real tribute to Carpenter and one of his best films, if not the best.

I really enjoyed it and I thought it was pretty great. Great Job to the Cast and Crew.

" We may all die " says doc in this amazing movie.

A new alien creature is here...raw and primitive...
24 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is a great suspenseful horror action film creating a brilliant setting, a group of mercenaries are sent, to the jungle to find a group of soldiers doing training in enemy land, they soon get there and there´s no one in sight, first they encounter a group of enemy´s in a camp, but then there´s something else, they suspect that something not human is hunting them, the new creature is coming to our world in search of an ancient relic, but the group is in his away and they fire at him, so one by one, he starts killing them off, and it´s real savage, he uses a technology that allows him, to teleport himself, and has shields, this is a new kind of enemy, and a great tribute to the predator franchise. The creature design is great, has for his weapons too. It's a very fun creature feature that understands the basics of how to use its creature effectively.

Fun acting, good soundtrack, great monster and an influential idea make it a must watch, 8/10 for me.

Freddy wants his power back
3 April 2020
This movie is very different from all the previous sequels of a nightmare one elm street, Freddy isn't dead as he picks up his glove and takes up where he left off.

The only problem is that his powers are weak, he tries to do cat and mouse game with the girl, and it really worked here, using shadows and fear as an element trough the movie was very good, turning Freddy even more scarier.

Love this, and will buy the bluray once is out.

The first bullet strikes
18 January 2020
Deep in the jungle of Colombia, a mercenary sniper wants to kill a rebel leader but the portuguese sniper shows his skills against an incredible killer.

Portuguese Sniper does a great job of allowing us a glimpse into the world of the snipers. The rifle of the portuguese sniper is awesome in every way, and the rifle of the mercenary sniper is great also. A smart move from Constantino Filmes, that show us that even in Portugal they can make good movies and this one is a must have.

Better than expected, another excellent film in the series
7 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Alien Redemption is one of those breaths of fresh air that operates on a level above what many so obsessed with the genre are able to appreciate.

So the story goes, to planet Xenon where communications ceased six days ago, so Colonel Jacinto one of Weyland´s top military sends a group of marines there to investigate the problem, we all know what the problem is (ALIENS) and then we have various easter eggs to the aliens franchise, since the apc to the dropship, passing throught the facility´s and weapons, we see that everything was taken care of to make this a true sequel to the series. i´m going to buy this on dvd, as soon as it gets out, and all of you should do the same.

It´s that great.

10/10. A very good purchase for your movies collection and to be enjoyed on home theater.

Refuge 2099 (2019)
8/10
An entertaining action movie
18 October 2019
A small zone in Lisbon, is attacked by an invasion force, and a lonely man must defend is home, at all costs, many of the bad guys are pretty one dimensional, but not all of them. One of the most intriguing characters is the Leader. Action scenes and stunts are well executed. It has great momentum and is never dull. It's not perfect by a long stretch but certainly is one of the most memorable movies released this year.

Hellbox (2018)
9/10
Disturbing visions of the Hellbox
17 March 2018
The film is very well-made, the acting is alright and there are some good gross-out gore effects that will certainly please every splatter freak.

I´m fan of Constantino´s work, and try to watch every movie he does, so this was perfect for me, because i love horror movies.

A great portion of the action and the terror is concentrated in the last minutes, This is definitively a masterpiece, of low budget.

I recommend this movie for anyone who's into horror or those who think the genre is just Hostel and Saw.

It´s a great film with fantastic visuals.

Take your pills and watch it, cause it's a good time
20 November 2017
So, i have to say it was suspenseful, intriguing, dramatic, thrilling and in a way horrifically ironic. You will understand what i mean, when the end is near. This is a tight film. You won't find yourself looking at your phone, ever. Hence, I highly recommend it. It's a great prequel, about the inhumane way the medical practice dealt with the mentally ill in the past, and this is truly shown in this short movie. it's an insane journey, inside of the institute, a Gothic thriller with a lot of chills. it's very well directed, i want to encourage you to watch it, if you're in two minds, you won't be disappointed.

8/10
