When people look fondly on the horror movies of yester-year, they all too often forget horrible examples like this one. Really the worst offense a movie can do, is to be boring. Or blatently relying on perverse or scatalogical humor, but that sort of falls into the same category in the end anyway. This falls…
Whole (2003)
It’s not uncommon to hear stories about people who are convinced that they are the wrong gender and won’t feel complete until somehow this is corrected. Some may be satisfied by simply pretending and wearing different clothes or changing mannerisms, while others necessitate a medical alteration. ‘Whole’ makes comparisons to this cultural phenomenon but in…
Soda Batch #2
I now present to you, round 2 of the soda collections. This time, we have a few energy drinks I found for very very cheap. Most were found for 50-60 cents rather then the normal $2-3. Are they worth not paying full retail like many other drinks, or do they just suck. Will they energize…
When Evil Reigns (2006)
It’s hard to rate these no budget movies. I know you can’t hold them to the same level as most others due to the lack of funds. We’re always saying that money doesn’t make a good movies, so a lack of financial backing forces most to like the movie even if they didn’t like it….
The Dunwich Horror (2009)
The Dunwich Horror was easily one of H.P. Lovecraft’s best works during the time of his more prosperous years. Mixing themes such as the ignorance of man when faced with superior beings and the ancient mysticism and legends or rural New England, Lovecraft wove a tapestry of intrigue and terror. The Dunwich Horror also bears…
Soda Batch #1
We can’t review movies all day, so let’s mix things up a bit. In a blatant homage to X-Entertainment‘s tradition of taking a look at the overlooked, we present some random stuff found at the local job lot. There’s a little good, a little bad, and a lot of awful. The kind that makes you…
The Unnamable II: The Statement of Randolph Carter (1993)
I’ve always wondered how difficult it would be to make an adaptation to a work by H.P. Lovecraft. Surely, it would be a horror film and one would hope that a cerebral, psychological vibe would be present. How does one convey the psychological torment endured by Lovecraft’s unfortunate protagonists? Surreal imagery, perhaps, or intriguing sound…
Cut (2000)
In my defense, I found this in the $2 flat rate bin at the local job lot. Sadly, I was expecting some terrible jewels in the rough, but this is all I could find. There were some bizarre childrens’ videos, but they scared me even more. It was nightmarish. Slashers really are the bane of…
Felidae (1994)
If you were to take a classic “whodunit” and replace all the major players with cats, you’d probably end up with something like Felidae. Hailing from our friends in Germany, Felidae carries the distinction of being the most expensive German animated feature film ever produced costing in excess of 10 million marks (about $7,453,381.23). However,…
Watership Down (1978)
My fascination with the darker aspects of animated features has led me to review Watership Down. Based on the book of the same name by Richard Adams, Watership Down centers around a group of rabbits who must embark on a perilous exodus or risk being slaughtered by, you guessed it, humans. Unlike The Plague Dogs,…
