Rain.. sign of romance or deep sorrow.. For me, its the cause of sore throat and slight fever... pardon me for missing the usual heroic wed.. not too well :P
Well hope tis catchy song can brighten your day :D
This week, we will be looking at the marvelous sequel to The house on haunted hill:
Return to the house on haunted hill! (Simple yet effective title :P) It begins with Ariel receiving a call from her mom that her sis commited suicide and she received a diary from her which looks like it contain some information about an artefact named Baphomet. She got attacked and was forced to lead them in the search of the artefact which is believed to be in the mansion on haunted hill.
Richard, an archeologist, finds out about the artefact and brought his 2 students into the mansion too. Turns out the leader of the villian is his ex-student Desmond and they do not believe in spirits and stuff. The killing began after the mansion goes into lock-down mode and once again, the main heroes are surviving it (is it that the ghost are giving them chance or just pure luck? lol). The remaining crew finds the artefact and like the one ring in LOTR, it consumes a person and make him goes "to the dark side". The show concludes with the arteface being washed down the sewers and the spirits are released from the house.
This is a rather nice piece of work.. Gore and also realistic visual effects really add to the flavour. Should'nt it make it to the big screen rather than sitting in the "Newly released" DVD corner? You decide after you watch it :P
... Just told myself to save $$ this week and there i went, watching resident evil with william and gf. The thing about watching movie is still ok.. but a movie i've watched??? omg.. issit really so hard to fight the monday blues?
Tuesday!! You smell the popcorns and nachos? hehe :)
This week's review, the highly awaited(by me) Resident Evil: Extinction Following closely to the prequel, Extinction begins showing Alice going through a dream-like scenerio during part 1(wakes up in bathtub and wearing the red dress ending up in the laser chamber)and ends up killed in the hospital. When the idea of "This confirm is a dream" keep circulating your mind, Dr Isaac appears and this all actually is a test for the clone of Alice..
The actual intro then cuts in.. with the usual Alice commenting on the current situation.. The world is now a barren wasteland, all non-water areas are affected by desertification... looking just like the settings of Resident Evil 5 on the PS3 :P Somehow, Alice is not with her gang who rescued her in the prequel. She travels alone searching for a place where there's no infection. She finds a diary stating Alaska is the place...
The heads of the Umbrella corporation finally shows with Wesker(irony) as the leader. It seems that they are trying to mutate the infected with Alice's DNA to control the virus, giving them intelligence(Somehow, smart zombies are the 'in' thing now).
Claire Redfield, appearing as the leader of a convoy takes her people around the states, looking for resources and survival with Carlos and LJ.. They got attacked, by infected crows(finally) and the coolest part of the movie shows..
The remaining survivors head to Las Vegas in search of fuel but was attacked by the mutated zombies sent by Isaac, who got bitten himself(stupid ass).. Carlos got bitten in the process to stay alive and sacrificed himself to allow the remaining gang to get into Umbrella's base and steal the chooper to head to Alaska(i added a minor parody)..
Isaac injected the anti-virus into himself and mutated into Tyrant.. The final showdown between Alice and Isaac is nothing spectacular and of course, ended with Isaac dead.
Overall, this is an entertaining piece. Just that it doesn't feels like survivor horror anymore. Alice is way too powerful, she's like using gameshark on your game console. Anyway, catch it, u won't be disappointed :)
Well.. pardon me for bad sentence construction, grammer, punctuation mistakes...Like all Singaporeans, im kind of jack of most trades but master of none :P
