October is the official month to watch one horror movie a day.
Seventh Moon - Second round of Ghosthouse Underground releases are a million times better than the last ones! Though I can only give this one a 3/5. I LIKED it, I wanted to REALLY like it, but the constant shakiness and constant darkness really screwed with my eyes. Otherwise, it's a solid little movie.
The Thaw - 3.5/5 Entertaining flick.
Deadgirl - 3/5 Suprisingly different though didn't go in the direction I was hoping it would.

Grace 2/5
Heard a lot of good things, but I was very disappointed. I felt the story was severely lacking and never really went anywhere.

Book of Blood 3/5
Worth seeing as far as new horror goes.

I watched this as well, being a huge Jack Ketchum fan. In fact, Offspring's predecessor, Off Season, has always been my "dream" to direct someday. I was kind of surprised that they went ahead with the sequel first, but I guess that happens in the world of film rights.
At any rate, what a gigantic disappointment. I've liked the Ketchum adaptations to date - The Girl Next Door, Red, and The Lost - but this one was just downright bad.
The worse thing? They didn't learn from Craven's big boo-boo in Hills Have Eyes and those silly Flintstones costumes. While these were more "Clan of the Cave Bear"-like, they were just jarring and stupid to see onscreen. In the two books, the family dresses in a weird mixture of their victims' clothing and human skin, which has real potential. The look they went with was just sloppy and amateurish - which pretty much summed up the writing, acting, and (especially) the directing.
You are free to tell me that I expect too much, but is the cost savings of shooting on DV (that looks DV) really that great to offset the quality (and professionalism) of shooting on film? At the very least, if you shoot on DV, avoid dimly-lit sequences and/or the outdoors that really expose the weaknesses of video... |

Epic fail with new movies:
Started with Otto: or, Up With Dead People and lasted about 30 minutes. Like a bad gay-themed zombie student film.
Tried to watch Borowczyk's "The Beast" and made it through an opening scene of hardcore horse f**king then realized that when it was transferred to our network, it was done so without subtitles. 
Finished off with about 20 minutes of "Shock" and got too tired to finish. MAW-MA!
Bleh!!

I rewatched SUSPIRIA two weeks back, and it was even more surreal than I remember.
After PA, I've tried to stay away from the genre. Everything else just pales in comparison...

Gut Pile - Standard B budget creature feature that mimics camera movement and recreates shots (homages) from the original "Evil Dead." Shot on video. About a hunter who accidentally kills another hunter and hides the body. A year later he returns to the scene of the crime with two unsuspecting buddies and they soon become hunted by a pissed off scarecrow. Not great, but a pretty decent shot on video flick. I liked it.
Zombieland - Absolutely loved this.
Monster Man - A horror comedy about two dorks on a road trip that manage to piss off a deformed backwoods mutant in a monster truck. It's the characters that make this film rise above all the other direct to video movies. The film derails a bit in the last 20 minutes but overall I found it to be a good time.
Unearthed - This is one of the After Dark, 8 Films To Die For. It's about a modern day American Indian who unearths an alien that was buried long before the white man took over. The alien wakes up and picks up where it left off, collecting DNA samples of it's victims. I'm not sure how the modern day people figure out what the alien's mission is, especially so suddenly and easily, but if you can get past that then you have a pretty well made "Aliens" knock off. The CGI is surprisingly good for a film made on this budget level.
Savage Spirit - Man, did this movie suck. Shot on video feature about a group of friends having a party who soon start getting picked off one by one by the ghost of a young girl who was killed back in the old west after she catches a disease that turns her into a crazed killer. This flick had some nice looking ladies walking around in bikinis, but everything else in relation to this film is competent yet amateurish. |

I still have yet to catch Zombieland. I'll probably have to wait for DVD at this point.
Reeker: Eh. It's not really a plot twist at this point folks... it's a cliche.
Drag Me to Hell: Hey Sam Raimi. Stephen King called. He said that Richard Bachman wanted the plot to Thinner back.
Actually Drag was a fun film. The gross-out moments with the gypsy woman were flinch-inducing. Why is it that gypsies are never portayed as aging gracefully?
I'm part-way through watching Mister Frost (1990). It's been alright so far, but nothing really memorable.
The best horror I've watched recently was actually the season finale of Dexter. Brutal.  |
