F/X vurderinger og anmeldelser
- Richard8. februar 2026I first rented F/X on VHS back in the 80s, and it felt like discovering a hidden gem. The movie had this clever mix of thriller and movie magic, creativity special effects used not just for entertainment, but as tools for survival. Watching it on VHS gave it that gritty, analog charm, where the slightly worn tape somehow made the suspense feel even more intense. Bryan Brown’s character, a special effects expert pulled into a dangerous setup, made the whole story feel fresh. It wasn’t a typical action film, it had a smart angle, showing how practical effects, illusions and misdirection could outwit the bad guys. For anyone who loved behind the scenes movie tricks, it was a treat. It’s one of those rentals that sticks with you because it felt different, creative, tense and very much a product of that era when VHS discoveries could surprise you in the best way.
- Richard Davis2. desember 2025Definitely an under-rated film. I found this by accident. It's an excellent, novel story, made surprisingly well on a relatively modest budget. It made Bryan Brown. This should definitely be added to your watchlist of you like crime caper / thriller type films.
- hairydemon28. juni 2025very creaky and dated. even when it came out, sfx fanboys groaned at the idiotic and patently wrong portrayal of an sfx supervisor. it was cringe then, it is even cringier now. it coulda been a contender. but wasn't.
