30 Days of Nights
In Alaska
30 Days of Night is based on idea to settle in an isolated village in
the night. Vampires have a certain charm due mostly to curiously metropolitan look,
dressed in coats and pinstriped dark and evil seem to be a reinterpretation of
the villagers. Are these to be particularly unsuccessful, muzzy face a
situation that would require a little 'force, forced to cut off heads with the
hatchets and all committed to finding the best ways to get into trouble idiots.
30 Days of Night is one of those horror flowing quickly without leaving
too many traces can be seen through and also forget in a hurry I suggest you
see it. I would recommend it to those who do not like horror movies because this
movie isn’t very scary, but this movie has a nice story that leaves out of fear.
Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of good points in this review - it's well set out and paragraphed, you're using appropriate tenses and you've included some sophisticated language/lexis which would gain points in an exam.
To go through in detail:
First of all I wonder whether it would be a good idea to begin with some reference to the fact that it's a film review, e.g. "This film is set in Alaska...."
- "one of the villages to the north of the world" doesn't work. Maybe "in a village at the top of the world."
- forcing the survivors into (rather than to) a terrible....
- "in the darkness and snow", or maybe "in the snowy darkness"
- Not sure what you intend to say with "settle". I haven't seen the film so can't really guess. Is someone staying there or moving there?
- "The vampires have a certain charm due mostly to their curiously metropolitan look." These are specific vampires you're talking about here so you need articles/possessive adjectives.
- From "dressed in coats" to the end of that paragraph there is a little hiccup with the grammar as it's not clear who is doing what. Is it the vampires who represent the villagers or the villagers who represent darkness and evil? What do you mean by "muzzy"?
- Last paragraph:
... one of those horror movies (or films) which move quickly without......traces. It can be watched without much effort and also forgotten in a hurry. I suggest you see it.
- I wouldn't repeat "this movie" at the end but just use "it".
- For "that leaves out of fear" maybe "without the slightest hint of fear."
I would probably be more help if I had seen the film! Am not a great horror movie fan but if you say it's not frightening I might give it a go!! Don't want to have nightmares!
Well done. An altogether interesting review with lots of good points, as I said above. The main thing to keep in mind is to make sure that it is always clear which noun/subject is actually doing the action. Sometimes it's necessary to "risk spoiling the style by simplifying sentences in order to achieve this.
