Early reviews for Marshall’s ‘Doomsday’ stroll in…
So they’ve started to test screen nail Marshall’s new film ‘Doomsday’.. in the states apparently (What the fuck Marshall??) and the first couple of reviews are starting to show up on US sites…. some positive… some not..
The First review I read was over at at Aintitcool, who’s reviews I tend to not trust… at all…
I knew I was going into this movie knowing that I would love it, or at least like it. What I got was something else. What I watched was this silly, far fetched, horribly paced apocalyptic disaster. Now I know this was only a test screening and not a completed picture. We all filled out the surveys at the end of the film and asked about what we thought etc.. but Neil Marshall people! C’mon! I like Neil Marshall’s movies because of the lack of bullshit in them. So why in hell, is there more bullshit in this movie to last a lifetime? I have no answer.

Naturally i’m pulling for this movie to be good, so fingers crossed i’ll agree with ionCinema more:
Though the film appears to be Marshall’s break from the horror genre, this is one of the bloodiest films I’ve seen all year. The Reaper virus effects are appropriately disgusting, heads are blown apart, limbs hacked off, a man is roasted alive and eaten, and blood spurts by the gallon. Battle is carried out with everything from futuristic automatic weapons, to crude clubs fashioned from table legs and metal spikes, to medieval weaponry, and martial arts. The action is extraordinarily well directed, and Marshall’s ability to create increasingly intense, eye-popping action sequences rivals what Jameson Cameron did in Aliens and Terminator 2. The film’s twisted sense of gallows humor is also a welcome element.

I saw the trailer for the film at this years Frightfest, and it looked great (despite being in black and white… due to technical issues) like a great mix between ‘Escape from New York’ and ‘Mad Max 2′, some of the action and road chases looked insane, and Rhona Mitra looked hot. I’m dealing in facts people.
I’ve got all my fingers and toes crossed.
