ridiculous rating

Excellent adaptation.

A different way of telling a story

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I got a chance to see this movie and full disclosure I really enjoy British horror and science fiction. I can't tell you in how many places this movie goes wrong in the first 25 minutes. Regardless of the budget I have expectations. First off, the acting is just stilted and grossly amateur. Scenes came off as if these guys were reading their lines off cue cards. Second, there was a ridiculous amount of violence that made no sense. It had no bearing on the story. It was just thrown in it seemed. Third, we had sex scenes tossed in without purpose. I'm not giving any part of the story here either because I couldn't detect any coherent story!Fourth was the background music. I just couldn't figure out how the music was supposed to add to the scenes they filmed. It was just silly. What I saw was a tiresome and amateur attempt at movie making. I gave it a rating of 3 out of 10 because I've actually seen worse.

Terror Nation, from the director of the startlingly offensive Fantacide, is a real find.Very British, extremely gory and at times totally irreverent, it's also a quick, clever and witty crime-horror-thriller hybrid that builds intelligently towards a shocking climax.The political intrigue and conspiracy theories are there for those who want them.For everyone else, there are healthy doses of dark humour and bloody action.If you can find it online, seek out the Director's Cut.
