Horror Quote Of The Moment


Welcome to Under The Morgue.

We have sections for each decade of film, from the 1910s onward, as well as sections for 10+ major franchises, close to 50 'smaller' franchises (containing five entries or less), creative writing, independent filmmaking, photography, music, Non-Horror films and TV shows, forum games, and boredom busters, and to top it all off there's an IM shoutbox at the bottom of the page for random chat. From the tame and 'kid sister friendly' to the psychological and mindbending to cheesy splatter flicks to hardcore torture-oriented horror, there's something here for everyone, so why not dive in?

Frankly, this was a rather problematic Action/thriller with a few good parts. That in itself is the biggest problem as this one is really based more on the thriller angle rather than the Action storyline here which could've been the film's big selling point. More time is spent on investigating the gang and how their operation works rather than taking them out which tends to get further bogged down in all the bureaucratic talk with the different friends here interfering with the main storyline since it really can't sustain itself with the plot it presents here. Since he's supposedly such a hot-shot agent that he goes through the group as easily as he appears to here, throwing those side-plots into the mix simply to get the running time up to acceptable length as there's very little about this that would've lasted without those interludes, and it severely hampers the film. The obvious stunt-doubles and quick-cut editing to hide the special skills of the lead in order to make him believable in the role by rendering nearly every part to signal that to the audience in segments that aren't decipherable enough to make out how skilled he is. The few action scenes aren't so bad as the chase through the construction yard and the battle on the boat being quite exciting and featuring some rather impressive shots, but otherwise the multitude of problems with this one hold it down.
Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs.
