The director partly succeeds in creating thrilling scenes with a good amount of suspense, even without the acting support of the cast. A film not recommended for its attempt to cater to teenagers looking for a horror night with romantic big words as a backdrop.

The 2008 Prom Night remake directed by Nelson McCormick attempts suspense over gore but is weighed down by poor acting, especially from Brittany Snow, and a childish script.

The villain is especially poorly written, making the film hard to recommend even to casual horror fans. Overall, it fails to deliver a compelling or engaging horror experience.

Here there is everything one might want to hear from this prodigy, (who hadn’t even turned 23) from his guitar and from what crossed his mind in those moments. He played with the volume, feedback, and dynamics like only greats (Hendrix, I’d say), made even the plugging of a jack into an amplifier musical thanks especially to one thing, instinct.

The blend manages to be convincing, gifting us an original album in its monotony, at times surprising in its sound and vocal staticity. Original or monotonous? Great album or flop? Indecision plagues me, but I have decided. Or almost.

Mick Jagger is one of the geniuses of rock music... thanks to an immense, almost unique personal charisma. The single taken from this collection is unfortunate, to say the least: 'Let’s Work' is a clumsily rhymed blues rock rendered as square as possible to be danceable.

I like to imagine NoMeansNo as two Canadian jazz jerks… who one day accidentally stumbled upon the Dead Kennedys and said to themselves: 'Damn! These guys kick ass!' This first work… is dotted with claustrophobic jazzy tracks, with a vaguely hardcore attitude… pieces that almost verge on an, then very contemporary, German industrial sound.

This album proves to be a well-packaged and skillfully conceived rehash, but decidedly too weak and uninspired to shine on its own. Overall, The Big Picture is a substantial misstep that well captures the situation of an Elton John too caught up in far more lucrative commitments to devote himself 100% to his path as an artist.

The album reflects a difficult period in Elton John’s career before his later resurgence.
