Pig Hunt (2008)
As a horror or monster movie fan you should give it a go !!
Pig Hunt get's 8 out of 10 points from me. It has everything that should be in a horror movie, some weirdos (like the "redneck family neighbors" or the "hippie community") and some strong characters like Jason Foster who sometimes visually comes up like a sort of "badass" Aragorn ( by the way Travis Aaron Wade and Tina Huang as main char's did a great job, too). The story has multiple threats what makes it more interesting than other films in this genre, it contains enough suspense, horror and gore (great job on the special FX even the mutant pig) and good action too! As there are many horror movies simply duplicating old "hits" this one does not come up with really something new, but it has enough potential not to see it as a copy of the older genre stuff because of his mixture of horror and monster movie. As a real fan of this genre i spend a good time on that!
Dismal (2009)
Yeah he's right
The first reviewer (from the Netherlands is right). The film is just some mix of "Texas chainsaw massacre" meets "The hills have eyes" in some really bad way. The special FX of the gore scenes may be quite good, but the explosions and some of the 3d gore scenes aren't realistic in any way and even outdated. Nothing new, a really flat story with bad characters (maybe the actors are much better with the right story) and cut scenes you'll already have seen in other films. If you haven't seen the above mentioned rather take a look on that films.... I think 3 out of 10 points is for the work the crew had to do on this but you will surely find much better movies out there than this one.
