Mad Max on Irn Bru
This is ridiculous, indulgent, derivative, and oh so much fun. What happens, do you think, when you rebuild Hadrian's Wall to contain a killer virus epidemic in Glasgow? Well, 30 years later Glasgow has become crumbled and overgrown, and the surviving population have reverted to barbarism... think Saturday night on Sauchihall St with cannibalism thrown in. Other factions have retreated to the highlands and holed up in old Historic Scotland castles and are recreating a new form of vicious feudalism.
The small touches are the best here, like the fact you can still catch glimpses of the old Historic Scotland interpretative plaques and fire exit signs in the castles, or the way the Mad Max-style auto convoy of the Glasgow punk cannibals is made up of Glasgow cabs, delivery vans a...
Doomsday
In the near future, a team of soldiers infiltrate a sealed-off and quarantined Scotland in order to find a cure for a deadly virus. A messy post-apocalyptic thriller from Neil Marshall, writer-director of Dog Soldiers and The Descent
You can't accuse director Neil Marshall of standing still. While he's an unashamed horror filmmaker all the way, he hasn't simply followed up his acclaimed, werewolf-infested 2001 debut Dog Soldiers with more of the same.
The Descent proved to be a very different proposition, a bleak and downright brutal tale capable of giving nightmares to anyone with claustrophobia. With his third film Doomsday, he's gone in yet another direction. There's still plenty of action and gallons of gore, but this time he's crafted a disti...
Escape from Mad Max II
An absolute travesty of a film,which plunders unashamedly,and without irony from several well known genre favourites. How on earth did Neil Marshall get this one past the money men? Even the high body count and the totally over the top gore won't save this from the bargain bin hell it deserves. I haven't bothered mentioning the storyline or the plot because if you've seen any 'Mad Max' film,'Aliens', 'Escape from New York' etc you'll have seen this
dud too.
