Ticks (1993)
This was like watching a 1950s horror/sci-fi film.
This was like watching a 1950s horror/sci-fi film. Not that I'm dogging the 1950s sci-fi classics, but this came out in 1993. So, it should have been a much better acted film (or should have been released by Troma). Don't watch unless you've seen every other horror/sci-fi film in existence!
The Quiet Earth (1985)
Pretty interesting venture outside US films..
I was walking through the video store and found this tape, I read the back, and rented it. I rarely rent a film after I've read the back as I think the text makes the movie sound corny, but this one actually sounded interesting. I poped it in and was really liking the movie. After about an hour or so into it, the other characters ruined the film for me. There was like 20-30 minutes of the film in the middle I could have done without. Then it gets better, but hard to follow at the same time. There is no gore or sci-fi creatures here, just a really good idea and fun for people interested in starting deep discussions after the film is over. I give it 2 3/4 out of 4 stars.
