Not What You Think.......2007-01-27

The title for this DVD is a bit mis-leading. It's more of a collection of Sci-Fi and weird stories. Only one is even remotely scary.

You also have to like low budget films, which means the cinematography isn't always the best.

Consists of eight shorts. The first is "Vision". This short suffers from very bad acting and poor sound quality. However, it is a good story. (6/10).

The second short, "Horla" tries to be surreal, but is just stupid. (3/10).

Next is "Recharge" which has a "Twlight Zone" feel. A good story, but a bit predictable. (5/10)

"Cell U Lar" is the worst of the lot. The story is not original or well done and has no point of any relevance. (2/10)

"Last Stop Station" is a short that has some potential that it didn't quite live up to, but it does have some funny moments. (4/10).

"The Suffering Static" is the only one that is the least bit scary. It's well done. (7/10).

The best of the lot is "Gridlock". Again, not scary but very funny, in a skewed sort of way.

"Convulsion" is an extra, that won in 2003. Not an original story and way too predictable. (4/10)

Overall a fair collection with some clunkers and some gems, but not for everyone.

Whats all this then...........2004-10-21

Taste the blood of Glenn McQuaid. With a subbass soundtrack provided by Scorn, Convulsion is a bit daft but apparently of note. The rest of the flicks are ok too.

Holy Scarefest!.......2004-04-13

Bright young talent showcased in the context of modern horror. DVD slams in with a visually intoxicating start - featuring director Glenn McQuaid's "Convulsion." This is a really bizarre & interesting mix of sci-fi and horror a la Cronenberg meets Clive Barker. In fact - hats off to all filmmaakers who patricipated in this wakcy compilation.

If you're looking for innovative horror shorts, this is the DVD for you. If you're looking for talent to grab before they get famous, buy it and check'm out.

Funniest thing since Schindler's List.......2003-11-21

The DVD deffinately has some fun films but Silent Razor takes the cake. It's an homage to the Shaw Brothers, S/m, Samurai movies, and comic books all rolled up into one. If you like vinyl clad hotties and samurai wielding vigilantes, then this is for you.

Silent Razor rocked ScareFest '02.......2003-11-20

All the ScareFest films were great, but Silent Razor definately rocked the monkey's socks right off. Every short on this film is an award-winning piece. Definately worth every penny.
