"Carjacking was a big deal in the early 1990s. Just like Beanie Babies and caucasians with dreadlocks. So it makes sense that in 1993, someone would produce a SOV action-horror movie about the horrors of carjacking. In Jacker, Mike kills people inside of their cars, kind of like the Texarkana Phantom in THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN. Mike doesn't steal the cars. Despite this, characters refer to Mike as 'the car jacker killer.' Doesn't carjacking include jacking cars? I think it does. This means that Jacker is the SOV carjacking slasher without actual carjacking. This oversight is almost as disappointing as finding out that Rob Zombie's dreadlocks aren't real and are, in fact, attached to his cowboy hat.
Best film I've ever seen. Full heart-throb Michael Chapman in another dramatic thriller back in the role as Jack Southeast, only this time it's the finale! It all goes full circle here folks! Mark Preston, Penny Judd and Bill Bagnall are sensational as the three supporting characters, along with more great actors involved like Tony Mardon, Dani Teeze and of course Swaylee for 2 minutes! This is a great sequel. Probably better than Godfather II. Loved the camera angles, very artistic and stylish. The sound design was quality, and the writing is superb British humour. Very much like Lock Stock and Two Smokin' Barrels.
Home Is Where I Lay perfectly captures the cabin fever aspect of the unfamiliar settings. Similar to The Shining, the film uses its setting to not only be atmospheric but also address some heavier topics. As someone who has been hurt by the church and someone still active in the church, my viewing of Home feels like a really unique place. The authority element that the film addresses within the church is heartbreakingly accurate. Annabella Rich brilliantly serves as the archetype for the mental health of those of us who have been hurt. I don't know if it's just my viewing and past experience but this film feels extremely personal. In its that vulnerability that the horror thrives.
