Put Doom in the “dumb fun” category of horror-action spectacles with plenty of video game callbacks and some gnarly imagery, always underappreciated when video game adaptations come into the discussion. Not only that, but the first-person-shooter scene is a brilliant translation of video games to screen, and plays just as well over a decade later.
#DEATH ROAD TO CANADA DARK AND CREEPY STORE MOVIE#
Director Andrzej Bartkowiak knows the movie he’s making - pure entertainment schlock that fits an all-important midnight programming slot all about kickin’ ass and BFGs. Yes, the Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban video game adaptation where space marines fight cosmic demons that attack a Mars science facility. Stars: Karl Urban, Rosamund Pike, Dwayne Johnson, Deobia Opareiĭoom rules and I’ll hear nothing otherwise.That’s because this film is always focused on character chemistry between an unlikely couple, which Levine turns into a fresh love letter to a subgenre that can stink of unoriginality. The blend between horror and romance balances genuine feelings with rotten imagery in light doses, since “Boney” zombies that represent the meaner, to-be-feared skeletal zeds aren’t that nightmarish. Teresa Palmer and Nicholas Hoult confront the awkwardness of forbidden love between a “Corpse” and a living woman. Jonathan Levine’s mainstream zombie rom-com is a miraculously sweet diversion from typical undead storytelling. Stars: Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, John Malkovich, Rob Corddry.Minimalism is the film’s secret ingredient: getting straight to the point and keeping a quick pace in a way that never loses our attention. Hann and Miscione turn social experimentation into a thriller about characters arguing their point about why they should be the one who lives another round, relying on dialogue to sell the existential dread at the script’s core.

The premise is simple: someone has to die every two minutes. Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione’s Circle is an excellent representation of that idea, about 50 people who wake up in a dark room arranged in a circular formation.

There's a lot of mannequins inside, barely visible in the darkness. 2.3.1 Party has at least one character with low (less than 2) Composure.2.2.3 Chosen character has high (5 or more) Composure or passes Composure roll.2.2.2 Chosen character is Oblivious (low Wits, high Attitude).2.2.1 Chosen character is Paranoid (high Wits, low Attitude).
