This is the BEST survival movie ever made. No one comes close. Cornel Wilde made this in Africa because it was less expensive than making it in the U.S., or so I heard. It's based off Jack Colter's experience as a hunter/guide being chased by Blackfoot native Americans in the early 1800s.

In Africa 19th Century, Cornel Wilde leads an expedition for hunting elephants. The ivory trade is at its height, and the slaughter of elephants is brutal in this film, and I suspect the film shots were real (something I preferred not to have seen considering how elephants in Africa may soon be extinct due to man's thirst for acquiring ivory).

After one of the men in Cornel's group insults an African chief, the local tribe attacks the caravan and murders them in brutal fashion. They save Cornel's character for last. He must run a few hundred yards ahead before the natives go after him one by one. The only thing is that Cornel fights well for his life, killing them one by one as they face off in the jungle.

The scenery is beautiful, yet harsh. This film put Cornel Wilde at top for some time. You will enjoy it very much.

Wow!  Alien Isolation blew me away from the first frame.  The graphics are amazing especially the cut scenes between the action.  This is definitely not a game for people who like shooters.  It's a game of stealth and planning.  It's one of the best horror survival games I've ever played. It is truly a game where you have to depend on your own skill and ability to survive.  The game basics are that you are playing as Ripley's daughter and it is now 15 years since the original Alien movie.  A flight data recorder from the Nostromo has been found and is being kept on a space station called Sevastopol.  You are invited to be a part of the team to recover the information. Of course, upon reaching Sevastopol, it is apparent that something has devastated the station, leaving only a few desperate people alive and in hiding.  The station itself is barely functioning with power being out in most places and systems malfunctioning everywhere.  The survivors are almost all hostile as in they will kill you if you're seen.  There are also synthetics called Working Joes who have become psychotic killers as well.  They are also creepy as heck with glowing eyes and they chase you around saying things like, "You shouldn't be here" and "Please calm down" in a soft monotone while they try chase you and try to beat you to death. Add to this wonderful mix, a large, fast moving Alien creature and you can see how this could be a tough game to survive.
You start out with nothing, not even a flashlight, and must collect scrap and other supplies to craft the tools you need such as medkits.  You can also find things like flares, and some weapons along the way. You will get one of the motion detectors like they had in the movie which is very useful. I started out playing on Medium difficulty and had to switch to Easy the first time through.  Learning how to stay out of the way of the Alien, the synthetics and the other humans took a while.
The game autosaves only after the end of each chapter.  Otherwise you can only do hard saves at certain stations and it feels like a major victory to just find a save station when you are in the midst of a cat and mouse survival game with the creature.  The first time you encounter the Alien is truly frightening.  I was hiding under a desk and it descended from a ceiling vent.  All you can see is its legs and the long, long black skeletal tail and you hear the clicking of its feet and it walks around looking for you.  Moving too fast or making unnecessary noise alert it to your presence.  There are usually plenty of hiding spots but if you stay in one place too long, it finds you anyway.  One of the tips that comes on screen is "Hiding in only ever a temporary solution."  So, you're hiding under a desk or in a locker and you are terrified of being caught but you know if you don't move soon, you're going to be found.  And, did I say, there's no way to fight this thing.  If it finds you, you're dead, instantly dead. At least that's how it happens in the first part of the game.
This is a game that is going to take some time.  I played for well over twelve hours total before completing it.  It's that difficult even on the easy setting.
For anyone who loved the Alien movie franchise or if you really enjoy horror survival games, this is the one to get.  It's so much better than the other new release Evil Within.  This is finally a game that I feel was worth the "new release" price.  It does earn every bit of the M rating.  If this kind of game is your thing, don't miss it.

There were many things I didn't understand about the way things were done,however all I can think was the utter shock and horror at what they were faced with may answer the questions as to why the germans remained in barracks and at liberty when they first arrived ,and why the Nazi parphenalia wasn't immediatly torn down. I think it was an incrediable undertaking to make this movie .To undertake to study and daily deal with how to portray this for months at least and I am sure for years for some of them,they shall be praised in history and by me now. It is about all I can take to see it these 60 some years later, those who lived it and were able to work through it need to be remembered they are the best of humanity

This is a awesome movie!  Me and my Mom really enjoyed it from began to end.  This movie is about construction workers working and they woke up something underground.  A prehistoric monster attack them.  The actors were excellent.  Dylan Neal was my favorite.  He's so sexy and good looking.  I wished he never got killed by the monster.

He should of ran up the stairs when his friend told him to and stop trying to play hero.  This movie is worth every penny.  Buy your copy now. I guarantee you will be hooked from beginning to the end.

This is my favorite movie ever, for a good reason.  It is like real war.  I can't say this from experience, because I haven't been in a war, but my grandfather has and some other grownups I know have, and they say this is EXACTLY what it is like.
Other war movies are all glamorous, and usually predictable.  Two sides fight each other, some people on the main character's side die.  The main character says "Ok, NOW I'm mad..." (or something like it) and is suddenly amazingly skilled and kills everyone.  That's not what this movie is like at all, and it's obvious from the beginning.  When they are storming the beach, the front of a boat opens up, and immediately every single person (like 12 people) get shot.  No one has time to hide, they just die.  This is constantly repeated throughout the movie, about how everyone is equally touchable.  There is no glamour.  They have to crawl through the mud, taking loaded weapons off of dead colleagues to save ammo.
Even if you took out all the war, this would be a good movie (although not amazing).  The story is set in World War II.  One mother has four sons, three of which are killed in a battle.  Tom Hanks' character, in command of other soldiers, are sent to find the mother's fourth son so the army won't have to tell the mother that all four of her children were killed at once.  The simple moral questions of this movie are intriguing enough; is it right to send 8 men to save one, no matter how sad his mother will be?
This story is carried out amazingly, making you feel sad, angry, and even making you laugh (you'll know it when you see it.)  Combine this amazing story with the fantastic war scenes, and you have the best war movie ever (according to the majority of critics... Stanley Kubrick may disagree, but I dont).
One other thing.  I hate war movies.  I have seen a few (Full Metal Jacket comes to mind, as well as some others), and they bored me.  So when a war movie can be my favorite, considering I hate most of the other ones, it says something.

THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER DONE!!! WINNER OF 13 OSCARS AWARDS!!!
TO MY OPINION THIS MOVIE WILL ALWAYS BE NO. 1!  THERE IS NO ATHERE MOVIE IN ALL THE HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD THAT YOU CAN COMPARE TO BEN HUR! IT WILL ALWAYS BE ABOVE ALL.
THE BLU-RAY ITSELF HAS WANDERFULL QUALITY. MGM DID A HARD WORK. THIS IS THE MOVIE THAT MADE MGM. IT PUT THEM ON THE MAP. THEY TOOK A GREAT RISK.
THIS MOVIE IS A MASTERPICE!! A PEARLE!!

EVERYBODY, EVERY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE AT HOME THAT FILM.

THERE IS A LOT OF GOOD MOVIES, BUT TO MY OPINION: NO ONE UNTIL TODAY MADE A GREAT MOVIE LIKE BEN HUR!
EDUCATIONAL: THAT MOVIE ALSO CAN TEACH US ABOUT LIFE, AND SHOULD BE PLAYD IN EACH CLASS SCHOOL OVER THE WORLD.

THANK YOU MGM FOR CREATE THIS MOVIE.

Too many foriegn war movies are not coming out here in region one on blu ray.
This is playable though on our blu ray players , in fact of all the recent blu ray foriegn language  war themed blu ray releases only max manus is not compatible with our blu rays.  This movie is a great movie because it really shows how people can adapt to terrible situations that are beyond imagining. This is a absolutely true story true. By the time of the russian entry into berlin , the battle that killed hundreds of thousands of people; berlin was in ruins,  people stood in line for food, and if people were blown up they'd take their place in line covered with blood and guts, just to get something to eat. That's a desperate nightmare even before the russian troops entered the city. Most germans too knew that The axis troops had engaged in a orgy of death and rape and extermination on the eastern front and the russian troops were  out for revenge. However as this movie makes clear the average soldier usually wasn't there to exterminate the germans. They did rape every woman in site though including elderly women. There was random kilings though of people , but mostly it was rape and this movie shows that women were forced to survive those terrible days that many women had to adjust to this and try to find a russian soldier that they could have as a protector. After all after the fourth rape or much more it would be in your best interest to get someone to keep the others off you.
 Some women killed themselves , others went mad, but most just tried to survive and remained strong. They adjust and shockingly discuss their different rapes and how they were treated by different soldiers raping them in groups.  They must adapt and if they must sleep with the russians to get food so be it. The men sit around helpless why the women accept things as they are. This story came from a autobiographical  book that shocked and angered people in the late 1950's. Noone wanted to accept that women would just deal with the  horror of this and do the best they could to survive. The authors name is still not given even after her death.  But history is filled with women shacking up with former raping conquerers. It's about survival after all and war drags things down to primitive level. Noone who wasn't there in these situations can judge the women. This movie isn't a great movie like 'downfall' which you can get on blu ray too, but it's a good and important movie about the human condition. It has bloody fighting in the first part as the russains fight their way in and then begin to take their lustful revenge. Even so they are not depicted as mindless beasts but angry wartorn men who feel that true justice would be extermination. That being said the russian leadership did kill several million germans when they forced them out of what is now western poland.
The deaths from the war continued long after the fighting stopped. In fact with many people deported throughout eastern europe to siberia only to die there over the next ten years the true death toll of the war is far greater than anyone wants to admit.  This blu ray looks great with a great print , it's in german with english subtitles and that's fine because reading is good for your brain.  The acting is very good and the story true and true stories that stick to the facts are the best kind. History isn't boring it's a slaughter really with times of peace inbetween.

This is a great book and they made a great film out of it as well (check it out and keep watching what happen after the credits).
The story is your average survival horror but when "the horror" is nature it is so much more realistic, the mean character is a battleaxe and the fight for survival escalates to such an extent and at such a speed that will make your head spin.
I loved it, not a masterpiece but worth every cent and more.

Without voyeurism, without sentimentality, with straight forward facts and truth, this is the incredible story of the British army, soldiers and officers, who liberated Belsen and who fought to keep the remaining 40,000 starved, sick, terrorized prisoners, most of them women, alive.  Belsen is where Anne Frank died, supposedly of typhus, which was raging in the camp when the Brits arrived.  You don't need actors playing starved terrorized prisoners to make a haunting, painful, terrifying movie about the camps.  The producers didn't do that, thank God.  They just used black and white 1945 British army footage intercut with the actors playing the British.... and it was brilliantly done.  An unforgetable film.  An incredible story never told like this before.  Share it with everyone you know who knows this could happen ANYWHERE if we do not stay vigilant, always.

Nightwing has to be the best Horror/Adventure film I have ever seen.  The main star is an Indian reservation law enforcement officer, Deputy Duran.  His job and life around the desert reservation was always boring and uneventfull until people start dying from a particular cause in the form of both bites and plague.  The old man, Abner, who was kind of like a godfather to Duran, has babbled about an ancient Indian curse that was to end the world.  When he is killed by the very thing that he told about and many others keep dying, Duran has to spring in to action with the assistance of a strange British scientist who has dedicated his life to the extermination of the problem, Vampire Bats!  This is an extremely exciting movie which also carries valuable information about the nature of beliefs and customs of the desert indian tribes.  I would recommend this movie to anyone who can appreciate a true classic!

Not only would Blade Runner be the first movie to be played on my new $5,000 system, but in large part is the inspiration and justification for it.
This movie, with no close second, is the best movie ever made.  While  I know I am mostly alone in this opinion,  I married the person who agreed  with  me.
The cinema and sound experience surpassed our very high  expectations.  If you want to be amazed what DVD's component video and a 5  channel audio system can do in your home, this is the movie to  showcase.
But it was *NOT* the Blade Runner experience!  True Blade  Runner fans will be horrified at the removal of the narrative.  Don't  listen to the crackpots trying explain that this movie was not a  blockbuster success because it had a `cheesy' narrative.  Puh-leaze.
The  original film narrative provided a first person feeling that is gone from  the directors cut.  The loneliness that makes this film special is gone  with it.  The beauty is still there, but the feeling is gone.
Our VHS  will remain until this atrocity is rectified.

This movie is an instant classic, its gory, its freaky, and its beautifully shot, i have seen The Strangers, i have seen The Descent and those movies suck in comparison yet they had theatrical releases. This movie is by far one of my all time favorite horror movies to date, please do yourself a favor and rent/buy this movie itll keep you hooked.

Hands-down greatest movie ever created.  I highly recommend any one who is living and breathing to watch this movie.  It will change your life. They put Floop and Elton John in the same movie.

I've searched long and hard for a copy of this video for one reason - it is one of the best movies ever made. Teen angst, humor, the ramifications of teenage sex, friendship, betrayal, and above all else, love. Plus it boasts the greatest soundtrack ever compiled. From "Keep On Loving You" to "I Know What Boys Like" to the tearjerker "Oh No", you can't help but love it. Who didn't shed a tear when Lawrence Monoson, who did a superb job as the lead character "Gary",... well I won't give it away for the one or two individuals who have not yet seen this great movie. I've watched this movie at best a hundred times! And it makes me feel good every time I watch it. We've all been there, and I think that it's a movie that our youth should be watching today - wait to lose your virginity, no matter what the cost. I suggest everyone have a copy of this in their video collection.

13 Kids, 3 Adults, The adventure of a life time. Those of you who are looking for an adventure of epic proportions that will take you over two oceans and dozens of islands with a group of equally interesting and at times disturbing characters, buckle up because you're in for one hell of a ride. This film was done perfectly, for once the film is better then the book (or so I've heard) and the final outcome can bring any minority, peoples of all ages and all professions to tears. The first time I saw this I was probably six years old and by the end of it my eight year old brother had become claustrophobic and huddled himself in a corner and my mother was crying. If I hadn't had been so busy laughing at them, I would have probably done the same. What happened out on the sea to those boys over forty years ago can only be described as a tragedy. A tragedy after finding themselves and the meaning to many things that they left on shore. This film truly honors those months that they spent together out on the crest and the weeks in which they were interrogated and put to trial after losing their friends in helpless cases. Shocking and worthy of such honorable men.

This is one of my favorite movies.  I had seen it a few times, but finally decided to purchase it for my library.  It is a beautiful story with a wonderful message of survival.  Everyone should watch this at least once.
