The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Grey (2011)

Starring: Liam Neeson, Delmert Mulroney, Joe Anderson, Frank Grillo, Dallas Roberts
Director: Joe Carnahan

Premise:
A team of oil workers are on the way home when their plane crashes in the Alaska wilderness. The surviving men must fight the elements and a pack of wolves who turf they've landed on.

My Take:
A top notch cast, Neeson has never been better, rolls a solid script with the struggles of man vs nature, man vs beast, man vs man, and man vs himself.
It's not a perfect film but it sucked me in and really enjoyed it.

Rating: So Good
