Tom H’s Film Reviews
866 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tom H.
Terminator, The (1984)
The first of what was to become a franchise, this sci–fi suspense debut is less action than T2, but shows off plenty of attitude and menace.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
Suspend all judgment: this is one of THE action films to see, with never–seen–before special effects that hold up to this day.
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (2008)
Hellboy 2 expands on the successful elements of the first, bringing a more consistent and visually lavish world this time around. Still not as epic as promised by the trailer, but a notable improvement for the series.
Hellboy (2004)
Hellboy certainly has its own personality and charm, although it often comes a little too close to comic for its own good.- DVD
$15 $11.25
Blade (1998)
A gritty and dark vampire world with plenty of bloody and fast–paced action later gives way to OTT plot, acting, and effects sequences which remain stylish, even if largely meaningless.
Matrix, The (1999)
An absolute must–see actioner, complete with the first–ever bullet–time slow–motion effects, a gritty sci–fi world, dual realities, and philosophical underpinnings.- DVD
$14.95 $11.20
Red Dragon (2002)
Red Dragon is a return to the same psychological suspense roots of 'Silence of the Lambs', with Ratner eliciting great performances – most notably, Hopkins and Fiennes – and keeping us guessing throughout.
Manhunter (1986)
Cox is a very different Hannibal Lector to what we are now accustomed to (thanks to Anthony Hopkins), but this remains a tense psychological suspense story, if a little dated thanks to the classic 80s score and presentation.
Silence of the Lambs, The (1991)
Hopkins is perfectly sinister as Dr Lector in this spine–tingling suspense story penned by Harris. A classic horror/suspense/thriller which should be experienced.
Seven (Se7en) (1995)
A brilliant feature debut from Fincher, this gritty and dark detective thriller thrusts together an almost perfect cast and has them play out a sinister script that will have you on the edge of your seat – and trembling in its final moments.
