Made in 1988, this is one of those cult movies that you'll either love or fail to see what all the fuss is about. Personally, i love this film, its a great mix of sci-fi and horror. It has a mysterious plot, a great lead character and some excellent one liners. Roddy Piper (as in the WWF wrestler) stars as John Nada, a drifter moving ... Read the complete review

They Live is another classic John Carpenter movie and the third I am reviewing following a recent John Carpenter marathon me and some friends shared one evening. Set just in the near-future when society is falling apart and there is mass unemployment (sound familiar?), Roddy Piper, a former wrestler, stars as a drifter who stumbles ...

John Carpenter is a director whose work I've seen many times, but I've never really warmed to. It's not that I think his films are bad, just above average without being outstanding. So it was with some trepidation that I sat down to watch this on the recommendation of a friend of mine. -= Story =- A drifter ... Read the complete review

Rod Taylor - later a star of Hitchcock's The Birds, is brilliant as the intrepid time traveller caught eight hundred thousand years into the future - and forced to save the beautiful eloi people from the monstrous morlocks. The film is eerie, ... Read the complete review

This is one of H.G.Wells' best-known and loved stories, and is a true classic. This film was made very early for Sci-Fci films and has tried very hard with the special effects, making use of what was available at the time. The story is about an inventor who creates a time machine and sets off to prove that he can really ... Read the complete review
