Donald Pleasence is well renowned in horror circles for his turn as Dr. Loomis in Halloween, as well as roles in Dracula (1979), Argentoâ??s Phenomena, Carpenterâ??s Prince Of Darkness, and a host of others. Before he signed on for Death Line (renamed Raw Meat here in the states) he had only been involved in one other real horror entry, the notable but rarely seen ‘13′ (aka Eye Of The Devil,…

Jack Brooks Monster Slayer just molested me in the kinda way you want the hot science teacher from your highschool days to molest you. Its that kinda good. I have been waiting to checkout Jack Brooks Monster Slayer for far to long and finally just as its about to street I had that chance. A Canadian production Jack Brooks has gotten rave reviews and for once its all deserving. Movies like The…

Dark Sky Films have been releasing these little double packs of films which they call “Drive In Double Features”. Now I love the presentation with the drive in commercials and old “grindhouse” type trailers but the films are often questionable. Such is the case with Barracuda and Island Fury. Now the second film Island Fury I don’t even think played theaters and was released straight to VHS….

I can remember the first time as a young kid when I ran into my local ma and pa video store seeing Faces of Death. Now as a horror fan at a young age at that point I had seen just about everything I could get my hands on. So obviously I was a little interested in what this “Banned in 40 Countries!” film could be. It turned out that I also rented Part two a long with it. Now at the time I was…

Chalk this up as another one of those films a lot of people don’t like, but I’m down for it. A ragtag group of characters on a tugboat get caught in a typhoon, narrowly survive and then discover an abandoned (it appears) ship “fitted for scientific purposes.” They board the ship attempting to claim a salvage fee for it, when suddenly murderous robots which also have some human…

I liked this movie, I just didn’t love it. It didn’t push me over the top. Maybe it was the distorted feeling with all the flashing in the scenes. Maybe it was like watching the Sopranos do a Horror movie.
Maybe it was a feeling of did I miss something? No. I didn’t, the storyline wanted me to feel this way. I had no feel for the slasher, although he did have a rather cool look,…

Life is short, and I don’t know why I waste precious hours of mine watching these crappy movies that I know are going to suck before I watch them. I hated the first Rest Stop and I don’t know why I wanted to see this one. I thought to myself before I watched this movie that it couldn’t be worst than the first, but I was wrong. Some how it is.
The plot is pretty simple:…

I’m on a role kiddies! “Mother of Tears” was, without a doubt, one of the worst movies I’ve ever sat through. Very little substance and absolutely NO style, this mess never seemed like an actual movie. Instead, I felt as though I was watching several boiler-plate scenes shoestringed together by as flimsy an excuse for a movie as you’ll ever get. There was…

Funny Games is a shot for shot remake of the 1997 version of the same name. During the opening scene, an error is apparent immediately. If a character is not in the cameraâ??s view, their speaking parts are recorded later and then dubbed over the scene. Not only is this a bad idea to begin with, but it is poorly executed as well. The opening scene also contains a random song, that I found just…

If you think youâ??re in for another cheesy 80â??s slasher, â??youâ??re DEAD wrong.â? So I may have borrowed that last line from the tagline, but it is none other than the truth. â??The Prowlerâ? was made in 1981 right before the rush of all the other (for the most part considerably lame) 80â??s slasher films. Not only does this film succeed in setting up…
