Review: Breach (2020)

Stars: Bruce Willis, Cody Kearsley

Budget: unknown

Directed By: John Suits

Jeez Bruce whats going on buddy, you
have two extremes going on in the same
vein at the moment.
One hand you have Nic Cage churning out
DTV films with his mad little Nic Cage style.
Despite the low budget, crazy ass stories
this guy finds himself in he still brings it to
the table. Seems to still be enjoying his job.

Now on the other foot you have a similar story
With old Bruce, he's churning out at least
2-3 STV films a year lately. Except I've noticed
He just seems to be going through the motions
Bruce is playing a tired a old Bruce Willis.
Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying Nic isn't
playing a old Nic Cage in everything.
In fact I assume to Nic this is just all happening
around him and he's just existing in it lol.

Oh and Thomas Jane is in here too, getting a paycheck for 5 minutes work with the most abysmal acting I've ever seen. Anyway lets get on with the film shall we?

Right so we see a ship that's bound for leaving a dying earth, some guy is trying to get on with his pregnant girlfriend. His girlfriend just happens to be Thom Janes characters daughter, who is the captain and commander of the ship. He lets them on, he doesn't really know the guy is the father of the baby and doesn't seem to really like him but lets him stay aboard. I'm sure I seen this scene because it comes up again later in something odd that doesn't make sense.

Anyway most of the crew and passengers go into cryosleep for the voyage to a new planet they are colonising. Someone plants some icky black fluid on the wall that eventually breaks out, it is ferofluid, no it really is, but in the film it is some alien parasite but like also evil distilled.
BW is a maintenance worker and the lad, Noah who is also masquerading as a maintenance/cleaner go about their business cleaning as their 'assigned' jobs. Both become suspicious of each other Noah thinks BW, Clay is a saboteur when he see's him collecting parts and chemical to make what he thinks is a bomb. Clay see's that Noah has no experience at all doing anything so is suspicious due to that. 

Anyway Clay is just making bootleg booze with a still for all the other awake crew members, he follows Noah after questioning him about stuff to see that he's trying to enter his credential as a worker in the computer database. Noah gets arrested as a stowaway, even threatened to be killed later because of this, I dont get why he doesn't just say I'm with the captains daughter, he let me onboard?
Buuut It's movie I suppose. That's the problem with this film its all over the place with it's writing. Anyway people start getting taken over by the ferofluid zombies who occasionally have the strength to punch clean through someone, then other times just above normal human strength or equal.
They spend a good protion of the film trying to come up with an idea to save people in cryo and stay locked in a security room.

After one of the guys says it was him who planted the evil juice as they don't deserve a second chance. Noah uses vents to wake up the captain who uses uber weapons and marines to try and fight the ferozombies. They just keep coming like they always have though until Thom blows himself and all of them up with a grenade. This has been their plan all along though and now all fuse into a big wobbly mess monster and start commanding people infected to leap into the warp reactor.
apparently human flesh is a great accelerant and the ship in pushed to and beyond max speed. The surviving crew members surmise they want to get to the new planet to infect that world too.

Earlier they noticed one of the cleaning fluids did away with the ferozombies and somehow incorporae it into some flame throwers. Clay get thrown around a bit as he helps Noah and pregnant GF escape in an escape pod then blows up the ship.
Now that's not the end theres a bit of a twist ending that I won't spoil because this film isn't great no but it's also not so bad enough that deserves spoiling, as, to me, The guy playing Noah really does seem to be putting his all into the role where the likes of BW and TJ are just sleepwalking through. Also it's kind of Lovecraftian, the cosmic horror takes a while to really get going but it's full on in the last few minutes of the film.

THN awards Breach 2020, a weak 2 out of 5 stars, watch if theres literally nothing else on or if your still a hardcore Bruce fan.

THN's Top Five Haunted places: England Part 2

 Today we take a second look at England as a whole for another top five haunted places, what weird and wonderful places will we find this time. Like always I am a skeptic BUT I want to believe I so want there to be something ELSE in this world. Will these (often) tragic places persuade me otherwise?
When or IF this virus ever eases up, or we just have to start to learn to live with it like the flu I would like to a tour of some of these places.

So here we have it another five spooky places to visit in England:

1. Tower of London, London

Constructed by William the Conqueror in 1078 it was lived in by many monarchs for a about 500 years before it was to become the final resting place of many many famous names. Among these names were Anne Boleyn, Sir Walter Raleigh and the infamous Guy Fawkes all spent their last days in this place.

Obvious with all this death and suffering there is now said to many many disturbed spirits haunting the site. Especially since many years later the grounds around would also become the killing grounds for Jack the Ripper!
Some of the ghosts seen are trivial to terrifying, from two ghostly beef-eaters smoking pipes before they vanish to a ghostly monk who's sandals can be heard slapping down corridors. More spookily Henry VI can said to be seen appearing as a wraith form in the room he died in.

If these are real I'd love to go there and see if they could sway me to believing, one day maybe, one day.

2. Berry Pomeroy Castle, Devon

A Tudor mansion built in the 15th century by the Pomeroy family who owned the land since the 11th century. Sold in the mid 1500's due to financial problems, it was then abandoned in the 17th century when the family moved away.
In the 19th century it became a picturesque popular tourist attraction which it still is today, throughout this time many ghostly apparitions have been seen, or spooky noises heard. Now as you know a lot of castles are haunted by some kind of lady, white, green or shadowy. Pomeroy seems to be a rare case of two Lady ghosts, even rarer a blue one!
It appears a blue lady is quite a vicious one story of her luring people to the tower only to make them fall to their deaths, said to be the daughter of a Norman lord who killed her own baby due to it being her fathers child.
The white Lady is your typical story Margaret Pomerory who was supposedly imprisoned by her jealous sister in the dungeons for her being better looking, is said to haunt there. Spooky goings on in this eerie place.

3. Dunster Castle, Somerset

Something has been on the grounds of Dunster castle since the Anglo-Saxon times, then in the Norman times a wooden fort was built on the site. This was quickly upgraded to a stone shell in the 12th century. It was then sold to a family in the 14th century, the De Mohuns, who lived there all the way to the late 20th century!

Now most places have a lady of a certain colour type Dunster Castle however has a green 'man'. In the stables that have been there since 17th century which now houses a shop for the site, many people have seen a green glowing light around the area and also feeling a menacing uncomfortable feeling and mood there.
There are also many other ghosts said to be haunting the site from, a disembodied foot being seen and the spooky ghost of a 7ft tall ghost!

4. Treasurers House, York

There was a house here by the first appointed treasurer on York, though this only now exists as an external wall. Though other parts of the masonry were used in the current 12th century house too. In 1547 the job of treasurer was removed, the house then became residential from then. The house was restored at the end of the 1800s going into the 1900s, which it's been looked after since.
It's spooky goings on are said to be due to the house being built on some old Roman roads leading out of the Roman times York of the time. People have said to have seen up to nine Roman soldiers passing through the house!

5. Theatre Royal, London

Back to London for the last one on todays list, the good old theatre royal, Somewhere i've actually been! Though not for ghost hunting purposes, I watched the Lion King Musical here, was a two for one special with Shrek the musical as a matinee and LK in the evening.
Enough about my time though, lets delve into what makes this one of the most haunted Theatres in the UK and not just the spelling of Theatre in the UK lol...

To start iff there has been a theatre on the site of drury lane for 350+ years, so if ghosts truly do exist well you can bet something haunts these halls. It is like most places home to a ghost of some shade of colour. This one houses a man in grey, wearing a wig, hat and grey cloak many people have seen him passing from one side of the upper circle to the next then on through the wall, in the day time too!

Renovations of the theatre later revealed that the body of a man stabbed a few times and wrapped in a grey cloth was found behind the wall. Though this sounds quite grisly the appearance of the man in grey is supposed to mean a good performing run for the current show in the theatre.

Joseph Grimald is also said to reside within the walls of Drury lane, he was the first (supposedly) incarnation of what all modern clowns now model themselves on. Oddly asked to be buried without his head attached to his shoulders, this has led to some seeing a disembodied clown head floating around. I don't know about you but that would make me shit my pants.

Okay then folks that's five more spoooooooky places to visit should you be travelling around England in the UK, drop a line if you enjoyed this, see you in the next one!
