Resident Evil (2002) -review by the Director

Based on the popular video, probably the most successful video game to movie adaptation ever made Resident Even is a survival horror movie like the game.

A multimillion dollar research company built under Raccoon city has an accident. The super computer called the Red Queen locks down the underground facility as the workers exposed to the T-Virus become flesh craving zombies. Terror and thrills ensue.

Oh Milla:

Milla Jovovich owns this movie as our protagonist Alice. Alice wakes up in the shower with her memory partly erased. She finds herself in a mansion in the country. The mansion is simply a cover for the entrance to the ‘Hive’ the underground complex owned by the umbrella corporation. The movie starts off there. A special military group is scent down to investigate, not knowing what they are walking into. The soldiers are lead by One (Colin Salmon) and includes the kick ass Rain (Michelle Rodriguez). Alice joins them as they head down to find and gain control of the Red Queen A.I. super computer.

The movie moves at a swift pace. The action races. Its violent, even gory. The zombies in the movie are more like infected people not so much the walking corpses yet, since this has all recently gone down. Besides zombies the group comes in contact with genetic freaks, like attack dogs and a creature from the video game called the Licker.

Alice is a trained special forces agent too. As she gains her memory through brief and hazy flashbacks that she is also part of this elite special forces group guarding the Hive. Her unparalleled skills keep her alive and are pure eye candy. Not only is Alice beautiful the camera loves her. She is a blast to watch in all her scenes. Especially the ones where she is fighting.

The movie sports great visuals and tense action sequences.

Acting: Milla Jovovich is fantastic. You can tell she gives her all in every scene. She is a joy to watch in all the Resident Evil movies. I’m pretty sure she does a fair amount of her stunts. She looks amazing it her outfit. A red dress with black bike shorts and long black boots. She wheres a leather jacket in the second half of the movie. I couldn’t get enough of her.

Michelle Rodriguez show off her talents in her type casted bad ass girl role. Colin Salmon (One) sweats cool and makes a great team leader, playing down his role but ramping the intensity. His dialogue comes to life in his cool, deep, polished voice.

There is no comic relief in this movie, only Eric Mabius as Matt the reporter trying to sneak in and get the scope on the dirty secrets the Umbrella corporation has up their corporate sleeve.

Gore:

We get chopped off heads, gun shots, gashes, bites, zombie transformation, sliced to death by laser beams (very cool).

Nudity:

Its quick but its hot. Milla shows all the goods here. A tit scene in the shower and at the end of the movie in a very scanty hospital gown you can, if you don’t blink, catch a glimpse of her trim.

Directing:

Paul W.S. Anderson no stranger to big hollywood action thrillers, helms this flick and he doesn’t miss a beat. The film is brilliantly paced and a wonderful watch. It goes down like your favorite meal. Great composition, pacing, action sequences, and use of slow-motion. He even throws in some creepy boo-scares.

Final thought:

Resident Evil is a joy to watch. If by some chance you never saw it do yourself a huge favor and add it to your DVD collection. Its so good its re-watchable. I’ve seen the movie several times and it never gets old. Movies this good come out only once or twice a year. To sum up the highlights. Millia Jovoich eating up the screen with her gorgeous Russian eyes leaving you hungry more. A nice group of combatants including Colin Salmon and Michelle Rodrigeuz in their best type-casted roles, tough guy bad asses.Awesome visuals, action, zombie battles, a few subtle twists, a good ending, and Paul Anderson’s skilled directing.

Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth -review by Rabid Fox

 

To quickly recap the end of Part II, Kirsty managed to remind Pinhead of his former human self, Captain Elliot Spencer. This allowed Kirsty and company to escape the box and seal the evil back inside. The part in which Pinhead “reverts” to his human self turns out to repercussions that are dealt with in Hellraiser III. There’s also the obelisk that pops up in Channard’s office at the end of II with several tortured-looking faces and Pinhead’s image along with the rest and that too is pertinent for the next film.

That said…

Part III starts with young playboy J.P. Monroe searching an art gallery for a new work to add to his collection. The obelisk is among the works there and the features of the work, tortured faces and a curious looking box also set into the sculpture, immediately catch J.P.’s eye. A sketchy-looking merchant is happy to part with the object and tells J.P. to get a great deal of “pleasure” from the object.

Meanwhile…

In another part of town, young newscaster Joey is reporting out of a local emergency room looking for her big break. It turns out to be a no-news night and her cameraman gets called away on a real story. Joey’s bad luck soon “improves” as a young man is rushed into the emergency room accompanied by a panicked-looking young lady. The man is covered in bloody chains with hooks embedded in his flesh. Joey watches as they take him into a room to attempt to treat him but the chains begin to float and crackle with energy while the man writhes in pain. Joey is then shocked when she sees the man torn apart. The young woman that accompanied the victim has run off but leaves behind a matchbook for a club called The Boiler Room so Joey leaves to find out more about the bizarre event.

And of course…

Through her brief investigating Joey learns that J.P. is the owner of The Boiler Room. She also learns that he’s a misogynistic asshole but there has to be at least one in every Hellraiser movie so in part III we have J.P. As a quick aside, the Boiler Room is a weird place.

Joey walks in to one part and the décor looks like it caters to metal heads but they’re playing Soup Dragons and the place is full of yuppies. Then in another room there’s a metal band playing on stage (well, 80s hair metal) and then when Joey finally runs into J.P. it’s in the dining room which looks like a 5-star restaurant and is full of well-to-do patrons that look like they would be very awkward at a metal bar. Anyway, it’s assumed that all of that is the same place which is crazy…

So it turns out that the young lady that Joey is looking for is Terri, J.P.’s “girlfriend”. I say that in quotations because even before they show J.P. banging other women it’s not too hard to imagine that he’s not a girlfriend kinda guy.

But Terri is curious to talk to Joey anyway so she shows up at Joey’s place and they have some girl talk about dreams and whatnot. Joey, by the way, has these vivid dreams about her father who apparently got left behind and died in Vietnam, or at least that’s how she dreams it. So after dreams and girl talk Terri reveals that the guy who was torn apart had been fiddling with the puzzle box that they pulled out of the sculpture at J.P.’s place. Later, Terri takes Joey to the gallery (and by takes, I mean they break in) where J.P. got the sculpture and they poke around looking for any information about its origins or any info that might be available on the box. They happen upon a folder containing some sketches of the puzzle box as well as information about the Channard Institute which is where the events of the previous film occurred (but you already knew that smarty!). Joey contacts the institute and pesters them for any information that they might have on the box or the sculpture and they send her tapes of Kirsty (hey, Kirsty!) talking about the box’s sinister secrets. In one of the videos, the Kirsty session is interrupted by a cutaway to Pinhead’s human persona Elliot Spencer who tells Joey that Kirsty’s seemingly crazy talk about demons and gateways to “hell” are true and that Spencer needs Joey’s help.

Meanwhile…

In a cutaway scene J.P. is pondering his sculpture when he notices a puzzle box-sized hole on one side. For no apparent reason other than “script said so” J.P. reaches his hand way inside the sculpture hole and finds a mouse or rat hiding in there which, scared, bites him and scurries away (go rat!). J.P. bleeds all over the place because the rat apparently had teeth long enough to hit pay dirt, and some of that blood gets on the sculpture and soaks in. If you remember the previous films, the villain gets stuck in some sort of limbo and needs blood – a lot of blood – to be brought back to life; in the first film it was Frank, in the second film it was Julia, and in this film it’s Pinhead. Pinhead whispers lots of tempting things to J.P. to get him on board with helping break the Cenobite out of his artsy prison and J.P. uses his playboy bad boy status to lure more people to the slaughter. At some point he thinks, “Hey, I wonder where my ‘girlfriend’ is? I bet she’d like to be sacrificed so that I can have more power!”

But…

Terri is not really interested in J.P.’s offer because Joey is trying to help her get her life back on track (or maybe just ‘on track’). But while Joey is out at some point Terri, who by the way is staying at Joey’s place, overhears an answering machine message about Joey getting a job out in California. So now Terri, thinking that Joey is just bullshitting her, decides to mope back to J.P. and she gets to see Pinhead emerge from the sculpture, lucky gal! But at least she left Joey a note so that Joey wouldn’t worry…

So now Joey’s vivid dreaming – or maybe not dreaming – continues with a step into Spencer’s limbo. Joey starts off in the Quonset hut where Spencer first unlocked the puzzle box and eventually became Pinhead but that image of him is frozen. As Joey leaves the hut she is in the trenches during WWI (Spencer’s original time) and he is there to explain, basically, that he is one aspect of Pinhead but that those elements of their personality got separated into two beings after the events of the previous film. So now Pinhead, the purely evil part, is loose, chaotic and, since he is unbound from the box, has limitless power. So Spencer implores Joey to help lure Pinhead back into Spencer’s limbo so that they can both stop him before he dooms everyone.

And since the movie’s sub-title is Hell on Earth, you can pretty much guess what Pinhead wants to do. Pinhead, outside of the box and with no intention of going back in, is able to really get down and make some Cenobites.

It hadn’t really been established before just how that happens but the second movie seemed to imply that Leviathan (a part of the movie mythology that just seems to get dropped… forever…) is the one that transforms souls into soldiers of hell.

Oh well. So Pinhead tears through the Boiler Room and slaughters pretty much everyone. Joey stumbles on to the site of the massacre and has a little chat with Pinhead. Joey actually has the upper hand since Pinhead can’t really hurt her while she has the box and he can’t just take the box, it has to be given to him willingly. But, Pinhead can affect everything around Joey so when she runs off he uses his power bring chaos out into the streets. Pinhead also proceeds to turn a bunch of people into Cenobites to help go after Joey. Most of these newbie ‘bites look kind of cheesy; one of them, the Boiler Room DJ, gets turned into some CD-spewing monster which is kind of terrible and funny and makes you wonder what he would look like in the MP3 era. And her camera-man buddy from earlier gets turned into a Cenobite with an evil camera lense eye and gets to say “Ready for your close-up Joey?” and “that’s a wrap” in a “menacing” way.

And now for the showdown…

Joey has the puzzle box and she and Spencer want Pinhead trapped back inside whereas Pinhead and his Cenobite horde are trying to track down the box in order to destroy it and remain free of hell once and for all. During all the street chaos Joey enters a church to seek holy protection. Pinhead enters and gleefully destroys the church and its holy icons, laughing away the priest’s attempt to ward away the evil by holding a cross. Pinhead removes some of his head pins and impales himself through the palms in a mock-crucifixion then performs an unholy communion on the priest by making the priest eat of Pinhead’s flesh and blood.

Some people may find this scene out of place since up until now the Hellraiser movies have been more ambiguous about specific faiths and it isn’t even known whether or not the puzzle box “hell” is Biblical Hell or just some other plane of existence. Either way, it’s mainly meant for shock value to those who might find religious mockery or desecration to be bad.

Joey bolts from the church and winds up at a nearby construction site where she gets cornered by Pinhead and the other Cenobites, including Cenobite J.P. and Terri, how fun for them! Joey is able to trigger the box to dispel the Cenobites and afterwards again finds herself in the dreamlike state where she sees her father. Or is it her father? Nope! It’s tricky ole Pinhead and he tricks Joey into handing him the box. Joey is still able to control the scene though and change the Vietnam backdrop to bring them all into Spencer’s Quonset hut once again. In order to finally stop Pinhead, Spencer has to re-merge with his evil aspect giving Joey a chance to recapture the box and trap the evil inside once again.

Finally…

Once the threat has been resolved Joey finds that she is back at the construction site and buries the box in cement to keep it from seeing the light of day. Afterwards we fast forward to see that the completed building with a sculpture outside and a lobby design that look identical to the designs on the outside of the puzzle box.

Overall…

Well sequels start to get a little hinky after two and this one is no exception. It is okay and worth a watch in the context of the first two but the franchise is already showing its wear at this point. At least they haven’t gone into space… yet…

A couple of WTF moments that stand out to me:

The priest who initially tries to tell Joey that demons aren’t real (her reply is hilarious)

When Joey gets tricked into handing over the box to Pinhead she says something like “that’s not fair” HAHAHA!

Hellraiser III has some decent gore, not any real nudity, some blasphemous (to some) imagery.

Beyond the Darkness (Buio Omega) 1979/ review by the Director

 

The edge of Darkness:

Frank Wyler is visiting his beloved Anna Volkl in the hospital. She is very sick. As they kiss Anna dies in Franks arms. Tormented Frank is not ready to let Anna go. Now we go onto the darkness aka madness and beyond.

In the Beyond:

To give you a little backstory on Frank. His parents were quite wealthy. Frank has inherited their gorgeous villa, a lot of money, stocks, and investments. He is set for life. Frank has a passion for taxidermy, women, and jogging. He is a good-looking well dressed a stereotypical affluent out of touch with reality playboy. Frank’s home is taken if care of Iris, who clearly has concupiscence for young Frank. It’s clear early on she takes care of Frank beyond her household duties. Doing things for him like letting him nurse from her nipple and jerk him off when he is stressed. Nice of her huh? Frank still treats her like shit. He even slaps her around at one point, not a good thing to do to someone who practices voodoo.

Frank has a plan to keep his beloved Anna a part of his life. He is beyond devoted. You will probably figure out soon enough it involves his taxidermy skills.

Frank is quit the lunatic and will go to any lengths to keep his macabre tactics operating.

This results in several deaths and some truly gruesome dissections. I don’t mind gore but italian film makers use real organs in their special effects and it was difficult to watch while I ate my raisin bran.

Frank’s murders don’t elude police investigation. Iris helps Frank cover his murders up. She obviously enjoys the dastardly deeds they engage in. There is another man investigating Frank and he becomes a problem for Frank and Iris. How all this unfolds you can enjoy for yourself when you go beyond the darkness.

Acting: Frank (Kieran Canter) is very believable in this role. He is the highlight, carries the movie, and has voice over work by Ted Rusoff who works on several Joe D’amato Italian films for the english voice over. Ted does fantastic voice over work. I enjoy listening to him. Iris (Franca Stoppi) is creepy and steals her scenes. Other than them the rest of the cast are supporting and rather thin characters, but they don’t need to be well established for their small roles.

Gore:

This is a gore hound buffet. It’s a good example of video nasty. A reputation the Italian horror films earn quite deservingly. Very, very realistic needle injections, if those are fake I don’t know how they pulled them off. Close up stabs that look very real. Ripped off finer nails with pliers. Chopped up bodies and burned or disintegrated by acid baths which looks awesome.

A disgusting dissection scene you won’t soon for get. Great looking large scalpel incisions. Copious organ gore and it all looks very real, probably actual animal organs.

Nudity: Frank flashes his cock. Iris flashes her boob and four different girls get naked full frontal with large italian bush.

Two of the women are dead with they are striped, not so sexy. But lots of nudity!

Directing:

The setting is gorgeous. The scenes are well shot.

It’s classic Joe D’Amato. Good looking actors. A subtle sensuality about the film and the dread of madness through out. I enjoyed several scenes, the dissections, the grave robbery, the even, yet sort of slow, pace.

The dissections were particularly well shot, well lit, to maximize the great special effects. D’Amato did well keeping as little as possible hidden from the camera.
Classic ‘zoom ins’ for zingers on peoples’ faces for reaction shots. This was popular around this time because zoom technology on film cameras had taken a leap forward and Joe D’Amato loved to use his zoom. Reminds me of Bruce Lee films. If you like Joe D’Amato’s solid work you will see more of it here.

Music: The score is by The Goblins who are great. They have done the music for popular foreign films like Susperia where they really shine. Again the Goblins score in Beyond the Darkness is a great highlight to the movie.

Final Thought:

There is a slight drag in the movie about 60% of the way in. You pretty much know where things are going and you feel a little anxious for this creepshow to finally end. So I can’t give it a perfect score. The film holds up. Great score by the Goblins. It’s still gross and there is lots of nudity and madness.

It’s classic video nasty cinema and I highly recommend getting a copy.

Killer Condom -review by Gorehound

 

Troma produced films aren’t for everyone. I, for one, love them. Lloyd Kaufman is a genius when it comes to low-budget movies. As a makeup artist you have to love the over the top makeup effects and copious amounts of blood.

Killer Condom starts off in a brothel. Something evil is lurking in the night stands hungry for penis. The main character is a gritty gay detective Luigi Mackeroni.

Even though he’s a cop he enjoys paying a cute boy toy to ram his huge cock in some man-gina.

After Detective Mackeroni loses a testicle to the ravenous rubber it becomes personal.

Killer Condom is in German, which is bizarre because it takes place in New York City. So if you don’t speak Deutsch you will be reading subtitles. Not a big deal, but I’m warning you if you don’t like reading during a movie. There is plenty of sex, tons of blood, penis, a creepy drag queen, and gore. You may find yourself cringing and holding your crotch like this guy.

Fear not, the Killer Condom isn’t a freak of nature. There is a larger plot to this dick dissecting madness. You’ll just have to watch the movie to find out more.

Ralph Konig wrote the comic book Killer Condom which the film is based on. Although I like this movie, Troma has better offerings, like Terror Firmer and The Toxic Avenger.

Killer Condom isn’t one of the most famous or infamous Troma movie, but I still recommend watching it for a good laugh.

I Spit on Your Grave (1978) -review by Gorehound

 

This classic celluloid makes me wet!

The movie starts off with the main character Jennifer. She is a writer getting away from the city to concentrate on her new novel.

She is a ‘tight little number’ according to the white trash, degenerate, retards she runs into at the po-dunk gas station.

She arrives at her getaway cabin which is most relaxing, just what she is looking for.

This is when these guys decide to pay her a visit. They believe her to be the right bitch to deflower their retard friend. Only they didn’t know just who they were fucking with.

The degenerates, Jonny the leader, Stanley, Andy, and the simpleton Matthew, break into her house and the fun begins. This is followed by rape, revenge, and tons of gore.

It has about a thirty minute legendary, horrifying, rape scene, wow!

There is bush, tits, and ass. Can’t go wrong there. Did I mention the vivid rape scene! For all you jungle bush pussy lovers and anal pervs this is right up your alley.

The best parts are when she comes back and tortures every single on of those sub-human fuckers in her own unique way.

I won’t give away the fun parts. Let’s just say you should NEVER rape a woman.

She will fuck you up and spit on your grave!

This movie is a ‘MUST SEE!’

-Gorehound

“I find myself imitating Matthew’s voice quite a bit. I love a good whiner. “I didn’t even get to cum”. My favorite line from him however is when she tells him she’s from New York and he replies with “you come from an evil place”. The millennium edition DVD has a really great commentary by Joe Bob Briggs that is really worth listening to. It’s a guilty pleasure in my collection. What can I say? the complete lack of a musical score (there is NO music in the movie) was an interesting choice, adding tension with sound and dialogue, I’m a sucker for that beautiful Connecticut forest location, and country bumpkin characters are always amusing to me.” -Horror Aficionado Lawrence Tolbert

Jacob’s Ladder (1990) -review by the Director

 

This film came out in 1990. It’s been under the radar for me. I’d heard people say it was good, but enthusiasm sells and no one seemed to love it. One of my fellow aficionados Chris Webb, was the enthusiastic sell. After he told me how much he liked it I found it on Netflix and sat down for a watch.

The first rung:

The movie starts off slow and cautious. Jacob (a young Tim Robbins)  is working as a mailmen. He is living with a co-worker, Jezzy, an attractive emotional and sexual latino girlfriend. Jacob has flash backs to vietman where he was a solider. He was apparently badly wounded in action but survives. He also has flash backs to his first marriage. His marriage evidently disintegrated after the death of his young son Gabe (a young Macauly Culkin) who’s death he feels somewhat responsible for, though he was hit by a car.

Down the Ladder:

This is a cerebral thriller. As the movie unfolds it becomes harder and harder to distinguish which reality is the one Jacob lives in. Is he dreaming while in Vietnam, living with Jezzy, still married and dreaming.

There is a steady dread overwhelming to the film. Jacob feels he being followed by demons. He meets up with other me members of his squad in the war. They join with him to expose a government experiment called the LSD ladder, and it goes wrong. Then we aren’t sure if Jacob was even in the war. He is in a mental hospital having tests done on him. Then it’s unclear if he ever survived the war. It’s all a mystery.

Jacob is metaphorically scaling down a ladder into insanity. 

Acting:

Tim Robbins is great and establishes himself as the even greater actor he will become. Danny Aiello plays Jacob’s chiropractor and pseudo psychologist. He has some great lines and all the scenes with him and Jacob are magic. Those seemingly innocuous moments in the movie are the grounding between Jacob and reality. Good stuff.

Gore:

The movie has it’s moments of violent war gore. Some demon special effects and boo-scares.

Sex:

Jezzy get naked several times and they have sex. T & A stuff.

Directing: 

The directing style is grungy and strong. This movie was probably ahead of it’s time. Their are gloomy and bizarre shots that obviously inspired latter film makers. The whole movie has a gritty surreal feel. It’s very slow yet it draws you in. It cries out for a satisfying ending to clear up all this madness.

End of the Ladder:

This movie just moved to slow for me. I couldn’t get into the mind rape. I found myself liking it then wanting it to be over. Though I wanted closure so bad I stuck it out to the end. It’s probably going to have people that like it, and maybe love it. It’s a quality movie and I hate to say it’s bad. I just didn’t dig it. You might, but you will have to decide if this is your kind of movie and take a chance.

Maniac (2012) -review by Chea

 

Franck Khalfoun’s remake of the 1980s original,

2012 Maniac is shot in first person with gore and nudity.

A third generations mannequin restoration shop owner Frank (Elijah Wood) is a delusional cereal killer with serious mother issues.

Suffering from chronic migraines, and manic depression he has ravenous blood lust episodes of stalking and uncontrollably killing women which he then scalps.

He staples the hair to his mannequins who, he hallucinates, to be alive and antagonizing him.

He becomes obsessed with a French photographer named Anna who photographs mannequins for an art exhibit.

You can guess how that pans out.

This movie is very visual and whimsical with many dream sequences and flashbacks of him as a child watching his mother and her string of men and drug abuse.

I give it 4 stars. I think it’s much better than the original and really takes you down the path of a maniac. Through their eyes. It has a great soundtrack as well.

Header (2006) review by -your discerning Director.

Based on Horror writer extraordinaire Edward Lee’s novella of the same name.

“What’s a header?”

Header starts off when Travis Tuckton is let out of prison. Being despot poor he searches out his grand pappy Jake Martin in the woods for some shine and reminiscing.
Stewart Cummings works long hours to support his ailing wife. It helps that Cummings is on the take as he runs the rounds of an Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms agent in the redneck backwoods. On account of his wife’s serious and ambiguous health condition Cummings feels justified in his nefarious ethics.

“Grand Pappy what IS a Header?”

As Travis and old Pappy get to talking they churn up old crazy feud stories and even more psychotic debauched tales. Travis is intrigued and decides it’s something he wants to get involved with for himself.

Bizarre and violent murders turn up. The Police get involved (cameo by Edward Lee and another horror writer icon Jack Ketchum.) ATF Agent Cummings starts taking more risks for bigger bribes.

That’s all you get folks. This movie picks up quick and it’s something you have to see to believe!

Acting:

The lead acting isn’t the best. I felt the actors tried too hard and didn’t pull off their roles all that well. The theme of this movie is so outrageous you’ll only pay passing attention to the sub-par acting.
Dick Mullany who plays Grandpa Jake Martin was awesome. He nailed his role. He is fantastic as nonchalant thick accented hick of sadistic delights. He talks about a header and feuding violence like he is talking about his mama’s chili recipe. He fully capture’s Edward Lee’s vision of the old double amputee diabetic in the novella. Bravo Mr. Dick Mullany, Bravo.

Gore:

Header is as graphic as it can get away with. They don’t, and of course can’t, show all of the violence. It’s still brutal and very disturbing. Even the most jaded and discerning gorehounds won’t ever forget what a header is. Or the shenanigans Travis and Pappy intimately engage in.

Sex:

There is quite a bit of sex/rape and some nudity, T & A, but none of it’s hardly erotic. Stewart Cummings jerks off near a lake, the man has to relieve the stress of his cognitive dissonance.

Directing:

This being a low-budget flick I felt the director did a decent job. I certainly never felt it was directed poorly. The only thing director Archibald Flancranstin could have done was try to get better acting from his protagonists.

In the end:

Header is a wonderful little gem. As I mentioned it’s based on one of Edward Lee’s stories. He is my personal favorite horror author. He writes what is termed hardcore or Splatterspunk horror. It’s way to disgusting for mainstream bookstores and is sold mostly as e-books or low print trade paper backs. I’d love to see all his books made into movies. There is a ton of great and original content there to make great horror movies.
Header is a fine example. The story is totally sick, there are twists and surprises you probably won’t see coming, and it ends in madness. Just like you want in your gross out horror movies. I think Header is horror dynamite, a solid MUST SEE.

-The Director

As far as I can tell Amazon might be your only sure outlet to find this movie. It’s well worth the money.

GutterBalls 2008 -review by the Director

Gutterballs…

Brought to you buy the clever Canadians of Plot Digger Films (the same company that gave birth, or aborted, Hanger)

Game on:

A couple of rival bowling teams meet in a bowling alley after hours for a little bowling royal.

Strike:

Gutter balls is a highly politically incorrect offense movie. It’s brash and violent. It’s cruel and stereotypical. A brutal rape leads to graphic violence, campy comedy, and rowdy sex.

It’s a mystery serial killer, pick em off one by one, plot.

The gore hits very hard. Gorehounds will be grinning ear to ear with a sadistic smile. Especially during the DIY sex change operation. Not to mention there are a lot of dangerous places to get hurt in a bowling ally, ball returns, pin setters, and pin polishers.

 

It’s sexy including a hot chick in a super high mini skirt bending over to bowl and showing off her naked clam.  You’ll have to watch that scene near the beginning to unleash the fourteen year old boy in you.

The acting is quite bad and zany at times securing it’s B-horror status and cult potential.

She evidently doesn’t like rubber dongs, you’ll see why…

Even though it might be easy to criticize gutter balls for it’s bad acting and low budget feel. It’s a brave film chock full of splatter gore, nudity, and way better than paint by numbers multi-million dollar budget horror.

-The Director.

Cannibal (2006)-opinion by Chae

 

“An internet advertisement placed by a man with a cannibalistic obsession brings yields a willing victim to serve up his own flesh in this dramatic account of the crime that shocked the world.”-IMDB

Lots of nudity and disturbing gore.
Homosexual overtones.

-Chae
