Unlikely Combination=Wonderful Results,
By
This review is from: House of Blood (DVD)
What do you get when you combine The Fountain, the Village, Con Air, and Evil Dead? House of Blood, a surprisingly great horror movie.
Plot: Escaped convicts in desperate need of shelter come across a small house in the middle of the wilderness filled with people from a century past. Quickly the convicts learn they are not the biggest, baddest creatures in the wilderness. That honor belongs to ninja deadites. There is also an unlikely, non linear love story intertwined throughout, that makes the film even more interesting. Points of interest: The monster make-up and special effects aren't bad at all! Much worse has been in Hollywood lately (Cursed with Christina Ricci anyone?) The editing and cinematography add rare depth to this direct to DVD jewel. Overall: The fast pace, non-linear nature of the story, and decent acting combine with wickedly cool monsters and just the right amount of gore and spatter. This is easily the best direct to DVD release I've been in over a year (and I watch every B-D rate horror movie I can get my hands on). Highly impressive and Highly recommended.

GOOD OLD OLAF- DELIVERING THE GORE-,
By
This review is from: House of Blood (DVD)
Olaf Ittenbach is a GORE director- Now don't let this put you off- His directing skills are more impressive than most directors in the genre (Andreas Snaas, Timo Rose etc)-
Look out for some TERRIBLEover acting from the 'first' lead baddie- it's hilarious- and his brother- (with a different accent!?) excellent stuff! This film has a twisting plot involving shape shifting demon god worshippers (yes i was confused too?) The story revoles around a doctor in the wrong place at the wrong time- over and over again (hence the 'Chain reaction - original title) Weak parts are the vague storyline link between the womanm at the house in the woods (with demons) and the Doctor- bit pointless and adds nothing to the story- But the gore is excellent as you'd expect from Olaf (FX artist on many a gore independant film) But i would look out for the uncut version as the R rated U.s one only has the gore on screen for a short time- (unlike the excellent "Beyond the Limits- Olaf's best to date- directing wise) If you enjoy your gore then this is for you.

Not great, but good,
By Nathan Christian (Pitcairn, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: House of Blood (DVD)
Photographed well, this story kept my attention. Some of the actors weren't up to standard, like the over acting of the gun happy convict, but when the real terror takes place at the cabin, the real fun begins. The language of the cabin dwellers is interesting.
It does have alot of gore in it, but it fits into the overall theme and flow of the movie. I reccommend it for fans of Evil Dead and the like.
