When I was younger I used to stumble across these kind of low budget film's in my local video shop, no-one had ever heard of them, but you were drawn in by the promise of gore and liked the VHS artwork.

You knew the premise was ridiculous, but you knew the blood would be by the bucket load.

I wish there were more like this these days, call me old fashioned, but I like the charm and feel of these films.

The entire cast are warm and engaging, and one character in particular is so twisted and cold, you are hoping her death is going to be the most disgusting and painful. She's also very funny and likeable, so you hope her death is not coming too soon.

This film stands out for good reasons, the plot is fresh and fast paced and the blood bath doesn't start in the opening frame, we get to know the characters, we get to build up to the paintballing and then we laugh and are horrified as a normal school reunion becomes Carrie on acid.

This film is well worth a watch and it's one you will want to watch with your mates and a few beers on the weekend.

What were you all expecting? This is about as good as we can get now. I went in expecting a low key affair, however, I will be honest, Dark Fate is an enjoyable follow up to Terminator 2 Judgement Day (Stay with me folks); Unfortunately it lacked something, something that I just can't put my finger on. I think possibly the fact it's been 28 years since 1991, and that 90s feel is well and truly over, robots of the future are less exciting because we have seen them in so many movies since Judgement Day. I need to say, stop with the expectation that this should or could be as good as the original two movies, it's clearly never going to be, that bar is way too high. What it does do is deliver on the action, and the story is also well thought out. It's great to see Linda Hamilton as an aged and still tough as nails Sarah Connor, and yes the interaction between herself and Arnold's T800 is always worth waiting for. Like I mentioned earlier in my review, this does lack something, Dark Fate ticks a lot of Terminator boxes, but doesn't quite reach a peak. A lot of people have been very negative about this film, I don't agree with them. It's a positive direction for the film franchise, and I am hoping we get more.

I remember back in the days of VHS, a friend excitedly pushing this film into the VCR recorder and telling us how brilliant it was. "There is a fantastic twist at the end" Boy was he right, the twist being that I found the film as dull as watching paint dry. It was gloomy, and depressing, and nothing really happened. All I remember was Edward Norton throwing himself around an office and Soap being melted? Fight Club makes many top 10 film lists all over the World. I guess if it's your thing then that would explain it. For me, Fight Club was pointless.
