Catacombs is a rather unique 2007 horror flick starring none other than pop singer Pink (who goes by her real name Alecia Moore in the film). Basically, the film's about a young woman--who's not Pink--who gets trapped in these catacombs during a rave she attends with her sister--who is Pink--while on vacation in Paris while being chased by a killer wearing a goat mask whom she witnesses murder her sister or at least that's what she initially believes. That's basically the movie as the young woman spends about three-fourths of the film walking and/or running around in the catacombs usually screaming her head off with a creepy-ass serial killer chasing after her (or, again, believing that said creepy-ass serial killer is chasing her). Along the way, she meets this rather creepy-ass Frenchman whom she is unable to understand who actually does try to kill her after she leaves him stuck in a hole with a broken leg after they try to find a way out of the catacombs together and she hits him in the head with a rock presumably killing him instead. Towards the end, the frightened young woman meets up with her sister--whom she believed was murdered by the "killer"--and her group of friends who had told her of the story of the goat mask-wearing serial killer running loose in the catacombs, which caused her to have these visions of said goat mask-wearing serial killer that were actually more frightening than anything that was in the movie. Anyway, while I won't spoil the ending for anyone (for once!), there is somewhat of a twist ending that viewers can probably figure out at the very beginning of the movie when the young woman has a voiceover where she actually announces that her sister along with everyone else she meets winds up dead. Oops! Anyway, Catacombs tries to be something other than the standard "slasher" horror flick fare and at times it succeeds--especially at the "twist" ending--and at times it, well, doesn't as at times it does get kind of boring (especially when the young woman spends her time walking and/or running around the catacombs while usually screaming her damn fool head off!). Catacombs might be an interesting horror flick to watch if you are indeed tired of watching the standard "slasher" horror flick fare. As for Pink's acting capabilities in the flick, she's actually not too bad of an actress. (Trust me, as someone who's seen PLENTY cheesy-ass horror flicks in his lifetime, I've seen worse!)
Welcome to my Movie Blog!
Hi, I'm Tony, a.k.a. The Non Roger Ebert (R.I.P., Roger!), and welcome to my movie blog. First, let me start out by saying that this WON'T be any ordinary movie blog as I'll be reviewing movies you've probably heard of before or probably never thought about watching. Yes, I will review the occasional "mainstream" film (mostly to slam it!) and I'll be reviewing films both past and present (mostly past since I think most films released nowadays suck canal water!). I also won't be using any star ratings or thumbs up or thumbs down or anything like that since if you CAN'T figure out how much I love or loathe a film by my movie reviews alone then you're a dumb mofo, please exit the site NOW!!!! Along with the movie reviews will be commentaries on various celebrities and/or the so-called "entertainment" business in general. Enjoy!
