The trailer makesDont Go In The Houseseem to be nothing more than dated schlock horror. Donny is a man-child, a sociopath, and a pyromaniac. Hes deeply troubled, and the film focuses on this rather than the murders. Even before he embarks on his killing spree, Donny is hearing voices. Some of these require a fair bit of concentration to hear properly, which is quite annoying. It does, however, feature incredibly jarring disco music which actually helps generate an unsettling quality....

Neil celebrates the wonder that is cult sci-fi series Quantum Leap. All together now, Oh boy… Im fourteen years old. A hushed silence would fall on the room. With bated breath Id wait for it…like an audience nervously awaits an orchestra. Ad content continues below Doesnt it still make those hairs on the back of your neck stand up? What a weird show! No, strike that! What a weird and simply wonderful show!...

TheSilent Hillseries certainly started out on a high note. Coupled with this leap forward in technology was a fantastically creepy, more psychological horror. Seemingly the only survivor, Murphy takes the opportunity to escape, and heads off toward the town. With no real goal other than escape from the area, youre set free in this nightmarish town. Leave this option off, and youll have to really scrutinise the environment for anything useful....

Can Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City manage third person action, or will it be left for dead? Taking place in betweenResident Evil 2and3,RE:ORCsees you take control of an Umbrella Security Service operative. Starting out, youll first need to choose your team. Yep, this is not good. Not good at all. There are just so many things wrong here its hard to know where to begin. I suppose I should start with the basics, the controls....

Naturally, it doesnt stay frozen for long… I was in Hollywood trying to make my first feature, and then I met with Zach Snyder. Then the [financial] crisis hit, and it fell through. They were quite supportive, actually. But to my surprise, they were okay with Europeans playing Norwegians rather than Americans. They said, Oh its fine, you know? So they were really supportive, actually. I understand that, when you first got involved, Ronald D Moore had written the script....

If youve read our review ofThe Hunger Games,youll know we thoroughly enjoyed it. Did you know itd be good when you were making it, or were you worried at all…? LH:There were too many extremely passionate people around it for it to be bad. Gary Ross is such an amazing director and I think we all felt comfortable enough to really trust him. His vision is, I think, perfect and really captured what Suzanne Collins was trying to do....

Oscar-nominated Jennifer Lawrence is set for more acclaim as the lead in The Hunger Games. Heres what she had to say about the film and her career so far… Adapting a hit novel into an equally praiseworthy film is no easy task. Have you noticed any changes since the nomination? I wasnt really out, like, at the clubs in Hollywood, all Woooo, nominee! Ad content continues below It was your mum who suggested you readThe Hunger Gamesin the first place, right?...

Phil:Our approach to this was, what if we made it good? Was that your addition? We chose a tone where we decided to let the audience know that we knew. Do you share the frustration, then, that animation is pigeon-holed as a genre in its own right? Obviously we think that animation is a medium, and not a genre. Its just a different way to tell stories. But there were 500 humans that worked onCloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs....

Whats it like to work with Brett Ratner? Why is Alan Alda scary? And why was Jurassic Park III quite so special for her? Tea Leoni has been giving us some answers… But it didnt affect, or didnt seem to, what she was talking about. Ad content continues below Ah, cheating! I should have guessed… So were leaning out, doing this scene, and Alan Alda and I just started howling laughing....

The Reapers are here! The Reapers are here! Or, is this a series thats doomed to exit stage left with an ill-placed step? Now, the Reapers have turned up to devour all life in the galaxy, and theyre hungry. Make no mistake, this is going to be war. This is all helped along by some great voice acting and the usual BioWare presentation. The combat controls, in my opinion, feel much looser thanME2s tight, buttery system....

This interview contains potentialspoilersforJane Eyre. That is the most contrived scene in the entire book, and its like, really? So you didnt film it? That was never even considered to be a scene in the movie. Must have been an off-day. Hes described as ugly a number of times in the book. By the narrator, by Jane. It also happens that girls think theyre less attractive than they are. So you think its a question of subjectivity....

Women and drugs are commodities, whereas money and violence hold equal sway as the currencies of the streets. Ad content continues below In what way, I hear you ask, is this about the London riots? Well, it isnt. Theres no hint in the 90 minute run-time that this even related those events. Its hard to likeSE1as it doesnt have the flare or panache of similar films. Its quite difficult to divine the cliche and stereotype from any real-world representation....
