Super Eruption



Super Eruption: A Solid B-Movie Made Possible By (and for) SyFy
Super Eruption: A Solid B-Movie Funded By SyFy

There are few phrases that inspire so much fear in people. "Direct-to-DVD" is one of them. "SyFy Presents" is another. Sadly, both of those monikers can apply to SUPER ERUPTION, and that's a shame because, as a flick, it works just fine. No, not all of it makes perfect sense. No, not all of it is original - many of the story's central tenets are borrowed wholesale from other films that have served them greater justice. But there's something to be said for a telefilm that knows what it is - a telefilm - just doing the best it can to set up, execute, and deliver a story for Saturday night folks with their butts parked firmly on the couch.

(NOTE: The following review will contain minor spoilers necessary solely for the discussion of plot and character. If you're the type of reader who prefers a review entirely spoiler-free, then I'd encourage you to skip down to the last three paragraphs for my final assessment...

Interesting but slow
This story had an interesting twist to it and the actors really tried to make it work. But, honestly, for a disaster movie it is pretty slow moving.

Do not waste your money on this joke of a sci-fy film!
This film featured poor acting, a rediculous plot, and amateur graphics. It appeared to have been written in an afternoon and shot in one day. Don't bother with this one!

Dear Dracula



Adorable, Monsterish Fun for my 3yr old Son..A must Have DVD for any little monster toddler!
Any parent that has a toddler that LUVS monster & scary kid movies, this is a must! The characters are engaging, they hold my son's interest(he is very monster picky also)..he sat through whole movie but last 10min! He smiled & laughed the whole time..I could see him just listening/concentrating so hard while watching this..he then put on his Little Vampire Cape & resumed watching the rest of the movie! Its a Must Have DVD --just buy it..I rented first(bc I was not sure if I should buy, bc sometimes they just aren't that kid cool/fun/monsterish fun)..but this was..so 100%momma promise just buy this, if you have a little monster toddler/child..its a blast & super cute!

IT'S NOT A DOLL, IT'S AN ACTION FIGURE
This is an hour long Halloween cartoon for kids, perhaps 4-9 age group. Sam (Nathan Gamble) lives with his grandmother. He writes Dracula (Ray Liotta) who in turn visits Sam on Halloween. Sam helps Dracula get his scare back while Dracula helps Sam with his shyness involving Emma (Ariel Winter). Sam has a pet spider named Webber which makes him an outcast to his peers which include the stereo typical shallow cheerleaders.

Very boring production for parents and older kids. The jokes lines are old. Film is of course critical of "Twilight" as that has become the fad. I would go watch "Monsters and Aliens" instead.

Cute and original new Halloween movie!
My 3 1/2 year old loves to watch this. Not to scary but fun! Great cast of voices. Worth watching!
