Rob Zombie – Redemption!
A couple months back, this dork was a bit hard on Rob Zombie. In a blog about his plans to remake The Blob, I guess I was a bit harsh in my criticism about how he keeps remaking things and why the divergence from the original works like House of the 100 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects. Well, today there was an article on CNN.com that bitch slapped me a bit and put my back in the mood for loving Mr. Zombie. Please read on to learn more!
Pontypool will leave you Speechless…Literally!
So a couple nights ago I saw a movie that quite simply blew my mind! It’s rare to find a movie that can keep me interested when I start it after 1 am. Usually 30 minutes into it I’m out like a light. NOT the case with “Pontypool”, which is the name of where this movie takes place. It’s been tagged as a zombie movie, which made me at first a little reluctant to rent this new release. I mean really, do we need another zombie movie at this point? Well I am happy to say that it was much more than a zombie flick.
The Children = Cinematic No Doz!
It was a few months ago that I posted a blog called “Four horror flicks you didn’t know you were excited for“. One of the films I featured was a movie from the UK called “The Children”. Well it finally came out this week on dvd released by Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Underground. Last night I put it in to watch around midnight and It kept me on the edge of my seat through it’s entirety. Usually when I start a movie that late there’s a good chance I’ll start to dose off and finish it the next day. Not the case here.
The premise is simple Continue reading
The Unborn…A Trip Into the Cliché!
Well, on the surface this is actually not that bad of a horror/haunting thriller. But if you are looking for something with substance and a well developed plot…look elsewhere. The Unborn (just coming to DVD) was released earlier this year, and the trailers piqued my interest a bit. Unfortunately, I did not catch it on the silver screen…so I threw ‘er on the Netflix queue and waited. Read on to learn more! Achtung! Spoiler Alert! I will be ripping on aspects of this movie that might take away from your viewing experience…although I doubt it.
“REC 2” can you handle it?!
I am not sure how It is that I just found out about the sequel to the amazing spanish movie REC but all I can really say is I’m more than ready to continue the journey!! REC was the far superior original of the later well made US version “Quarantine”. It seems the original directors Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza are back for the sequel which is great news.
The Worst Movie ever made and released. Period.
I was looking on Youtube for some footage from probably the worst movie I have ever seen ever- “The Black Devil Doll From Hell”! It has been many years since I have seen this steaming pile of suck and from what I understand it’s pretty hard to find a copy now days. I heard about a year ago it was supposed to be released on DVD. However I am not sure it ever made it to disc.
Anyway when I was a kid I used to see the cover of this in the video store and always wondered what it was all about. Well later when I was in high school my friends and I finally rented this movie. I will say I’ll never forget what I saw that day! The Worst Movie EVER. Period.
You can look to the Galaxy, or Within, for some Terror!
Fellow Universal Dork Pete Saturday posted an awesome review and reminder of the classic Creepozoids and I responded with a note about two other plot/theme related classics, The Terror Within and Galaxy of Terror. After some serious thought and internal reflection on my actions…I realize that it is pretty lame to just hang the carrot out in front of our dedicated dork followers. So I wanted to look up the info and give the readers more of a taste of these great features! Both of these have a touch of Roger Corman, just so you know what you are getting yourself into.
CG Animated Horror Movies-A good idea?
I just ran across this trailer for a possibly upcoming movie called “Blood Trail”. It’s a CG animated trailer for the proposed horror film and so far I can’t decide whether or not this totally cool or really lame. I guess it reminds me a bit of the most recent “Beowolf” animated movie. I watched that as well and to this day am still unsure whether or not I liked it. I can’t decide if seeing these types of films is like watching an extended intro for an XBox game or if it’s something truely unique. I can say that at least the monsters presented in this trailer look natural in their onscreen environment. Many of the horror and sci-fi monsters onscreen today look horrible especially when they are placed in real environments along with real actors. So maybe this is not such a bad idea after all keeping these CG monsters in their CG worlds. It seems from reading all the comments this trailer recieved on it’s youtube page that almost everyone thought this looked amazing. What do you think?
They Reached The Final Destination…and the Outlook is Good
Just a warning for readers, if you expect content, character development, good dialog, and interesting plot…then wow, you came to the wrong movie. The Final Destination has none of these aspects. But if you are coming for unbelievable aligning of events that result in violent unpredictable deaths, great gore, and a guaranteed hunks of body flying past the screen every 10-15 minutes, then The Final Destination is your stop.
If The Orphan calls….it’s gonna be bad news in a very good way!
In response to the most recent post about the new horror flick “The Collector” being more or less a total clunker, I just had to give theater going horror fans a little hope. I realize that this movie opened up on the 24th and many of you may have already seen it, but for those of you who haven’t you need to trek on down to the theater for “Orphan”!
