| Posted: 02 Nov 2010 12:51 PM PDT Making a sequel to a highly successful film especially decades after the original is among the hardest things a director and creative crew can be tasked with. Not only does the follow-up have to capture the tone and attitude of its predecessor, but it also has to successfully introduce a slew of new ideas that expands the mythology of the series without creating anything that contradicts what came before it (Highlander 2, Im looking at you). The most noticeable exception to this rule is James Cameron, who has successfully taken horror films like Alien and The Terminator - I know some people will disagree, but I always considered the Arnie classic to be a slasher/thriller and successfully turned their sequels into epic sci-fi/action hybrids. Predators attempts the same formula of changing genres, and it does indeed introduce new mythology and ideas, but it oversaturates itself with them, and because of that and the various tweaks made to Robert Rodriguezs original spec script over the years, the sum is not as great as its parts. |
| Neil Marshall's 'Centurion' Leads Horror In Your House Pack Posted: 02 Nov 2010 10:47 AM PDT Halloween is over (though my hangover isnt) and so is a month of excellent horror releases. November limps out of the gate with few films of interest, with the one major highlight being Neil Marshalls historical-ish violent blood bath, Centurion. Hope you all had good Halloweens. |
