First Review for 2011: I Spit On Your Grave UNRATED!!!

After I saw the original a few months ago in anticipation for this remake I wasn't sure how they would handle a remake of this kind. I will start with saying Sarah Butlers performance in this movie was amazing! The whole movie is a very intenseroller coaster ride of shocking gore and revenge. If you have a weak stomach for rape scenes this movie is definitely not for you. The only other movie I can think of with such an shockingly real rape scene is "Last House on the Left". Although I do believe that this movie's rape scene kind of blows that out of the water, reason being this movie has 3 rape scenes that are equally brutal and hard to watch. Although the revenge scenes where Sarah Butlers Character "Jennifer Hill" tortures her attackers is totally awesome. Its a brutal portrayal of one women making 4 rapist cry like little bitches. The story stays true to the original and jumps right in to the action. Also Sarah Butler is just to hot in the movie .. up until you see the clips with the anger and hatred in her eyes.. Hard to believe a girl who looks so hot can look so scary but believe me. If you don't just check out this picture:

A delay

So as I have had some "technical difficulties" with my computer and doing the video updates.. I may just have a few more regular blog entries before I go video.. keep you guys posted.

We're going Video!!!!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give you guys a very special update. If you don't know me very well (outside of loving Horror and all that goodness) then you might not know that I am a broadcast engineer. I went to school for that shit and after my internship I have not been able to find a job outside of freelance work. So the other day I was thinking how I have all this awesome software I never get to use and I have a decent set up for recording video but rarely use as well.. so I decided to take this blog to video! It will be a little while before the first one aires and I will have a youtube channel people can go check out once I have a few done. So keep checking for updates.. before I go here is the video blogs logo:

Splice

If you haven't heard of the new Sci-fi Thriller Splice.. then you either are living under a rock or just don't pay attention to horror buzz. Friday was the opening for this movie where two scientist play god and splice some genes to make a new creature that isn't human.. here is the synopsis taken from Apple.com "Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named "Dren", the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators - only to have that bond turn deadly."

Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 REVIEW

So I have been slacking something fierce recently with updating this blog.. but I have been fairly busy. So lets get on it already with a review of the new Nightmare movie. Off the bat this movie got horrible reviews which I do not understand why. I was never a big fan of the original series (yeah I know .. its like a slight on god or some shit like that) but when I saw the remake coming I got very excited for it. I feel like Jackie Earle Haley did an amazing job as Freddy. He was dark and very very creepy. As for his look, I do like the original look Freddy had but in this remake they made him look more like a burn victim.. with good reason because thats what he was. The killings were good, some very similar to the original and they didn't change much either. The best part is they def. left it open for a sequel which I hope they do. To wrap it all up.. this movie is left to the viewer. I won't say anything directly about the movie (key scenes or anything) but I enjoyed it. Its a 50-50 shot .. you will either love this movie .. or hate it.

The Wolfman Review

Remakes are huge right now, probably to no end. It makes you wonder "where will it end?". With all that being said.. if more remakes come out like this one then the future is looking incredibly bright. I loved everything about this movie, the storyline was incredible. The movie does get a little violent (little ones beware) but its about the Wolfman.. its suppose to be violent. Action packed and great performances by the whole cast. I give this movie 10 skulls!!!

NEW NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET TRAILER (in GLORIOUS HD)

So I cannot stress how excited I am for this movie. Not to mention how much I hated the original... no that Robert Englund wasn't a bad Freddy, but the original movies were so campy and not what I really wanted out of that movie. Although they did scare the poop nuggets out of me when I was 10. Jackie Earle Haley seems to really grasped the scare factor I want out of these movies ... wait yeah I know I haven't seen the freakin movie yet .. but if you don't believe me then check this shit out:

WELCOME to 2010

Its been a long while since I've posted any good horror updates. My lifes been a little hectic but I am back on board with my first update for 2010. Lionsgate has picked up the independent thriller "Buried" with Ryan Reynolds...

I can't be more stoked for this for the simple reasons of :

1) its fucking Ryan Reynolds

and

2) it reminds me of the 90's B-movie with Tim Matheson "Buried Alive"

I look forward to this one .. as should you!!!

Across the Hall Trailer

I stumbled across this trailer a few minutes ago on BD
and it looks incredibly suspenseful. Brittany Murphy looking hot is apparently cheating on her husband who finds out and steals his bestfriends gun ( who is no other then Eric Rivers from Grind) to make an example of her.. And things just get more intense from there.. Check it out

Stepfather

Dylan Walsh, in most roles I've seen him play has always come across as a "nice guy" which he plays in this movie like the original but seeing the "other" side played by Walsh really was shocking.. and I mean that in a good way. Walsh is one sick fucker in the remake of this classic 70's suspense/thriller. The PG-13 rating does keep this movie from potential that would make it more entertaining for the slasher fans (like myself) out there. Don't get me wrong this movie is wayyy under rated for what it is. In the remake category it is probably lacking a few key elements that hinder away from keeping this one like the original (rating being my key note here). Overall I enjoyed this movie very much, it has a solid story and a great cast. Penn Badgley plays a great role and steps up as a man should when a raving psycho is trying to bone your mom. I recommend this movie for anyone who wants to see a classic remake done well... oh and of course if you want to see the sexy Amber Heard in her undies and in a skimpy bikini GROWWWWL:

Paranormal Activity Review

The handheld camera shots done in horror movies over the past 10 years has grown and originality is always hard to come by. This movie like a lot of the Japanese and Spanish films not yet released in America shows just that. Fans of Rec. and of course world famous "the Blair Witch Project" (which was the movie that inspired Oren Peli to write PA.) will enjoy this film simply for the "whats going?" effect these movies have added to horror. Paranormal Activity definitely has its ups and downs and the first half of the movie teases you with little hauntings and builds up to the good stuff at the end. Personally its hard to find movies that scare me, and I have seen my fair share of horror movies. Also I do tend to like slasher flicks but of course as a horror fan I always have a soft spot for ghost stories.. Although this is not that. Paranormal Activity follows the story of a couple Micha and Katie, and Katie in the movie is haunted to the point of being possessed by a demon. Now with that being said .. as a low budget horror film this movie will freak you out. Katie's encounters with this entity get more and more serious to the point where it actually interacts with her. The movies build up is everything and the little shadows didn't scare me as much as the footprints in the baby powder on the floor and when Katie gets pulled from bed out the room, down the hall screaming. Low budget film making at its finest. If you really want a good scaring go see this because thats what it will do..

A Nightmare on Elm Street Hits and its gonna be GLORIOUS!!!

Not only am I excited for this movie because Jackie Earl Hayley is playing Freddy, but also because this movie is gonna be a totally darker side of the Elm St series.. very VERY excited

Jennifer's Body Review

Out of most of the horror movies I was/have seen this year I was not expecting to enjoy "Jennifer's Body" as much as I did. Lets get the basics of why this movie was good, the soundtrack for one. This movie has a ton of good music which was surprising to me. Its not a kill, kill, kill kind of horror movie but more so a very present day B-Rate movie. Some of the one-liners in the movie are just priceless. The story follows Jennifer's best friend trying to stop Jennifer from eating all the boy in the town. Its gets pretty bloody and the ending is fuckign awesome. I don't want to post any spoilers from this movie, I do recommend anyone who likes demon b-rate movies to definitley go see this one. I want to see it again ASAP!!!
did I mention you see Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried make out pretty hardcore in this movie? and again the ending is just awesome. 8skulls hands down for this movie.

Sorrority Row Review

Any time a horror movie has hot girls, murder and senseless nudity it pretty much means its hitting every major point in horror movie awesomeness. Although I wasen't too happy with how this particular movie ended I enjoyed Sorority Row for 3 main reason (no not the 3 I listed in the first sentence)Those reasons being:
1) Original Murder Scenes-
The death scenes in Sorority Row were pretty original, some of them you will have seen in other movies but I felt that for and american made horror movie in a college atomsphere it has some great and very creative murdering. Also to touch on that the weapon the killer uses is not only something you expect but at the same time something you don't expect. Kudos to SR for that!!!
2) Plot Twists-
You always are wondering in the movie "who is the killer?" and at one point your expecting one person of being that killer and 3 plot changes later your totally in the dark as to who it is. Now I will say that when you do find out who the killer is you may be kind of disappointed.. well atleast I was but I will give it to them, They did leave me guessing on to who to blame for the murders.
3) Finally as lame as a reason this is - Openning to a sequel-
Yes this movie is left wide open for a sequel, and yes this one wasen't all it was cracked up to be but they can do some serious fucking awesome shit for a sequel.. that of course means they'd have to do it right.

Overall, some of the acting is fairly rough (thats to be expected from a star taken from Mtv's the Hills) but its still worth seeing. Although if your really trying to get a scare factor to your maximum this is not the movie for that, this is more of a fun "chickflick horror" take your girlfriend to see and if shes like mine.. then she'll be scared. I'm being generous when I give it this rating but 7 skulls for this one.

House of the Devil REDBAND TRAILER!!!!

The trailer for House of the Devil is out and its some crazy shit, check it out and bask in all its horror glory:

Dark Room Theater Double Feature looks surprisingly funny..

Apple.com always has some awesome trailers to check out, in my search of the newest (as of every friday/wednesday) I came across Dark Room Theater. It has a very Tales from the Crypt esq feel to it.. of course in a very B Movie feel. This is what Apple.com Synopsis said about it:
Dark Room Theater is a double feature in the vein of The Twilight Zone, about ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary, usually supernatural, situations, using both ironic and comic twists. The show is hosted by an animated character entitled Dr. Brainly, a brain that lives in a glass beaker from an experiment gone wrong or right depending on your point of view.

Todd McFarlane's Haunt is finally here!!!

The long anticipated comic collaberation of Robert Kirkman and Todd McFarlane has finally been put in to pressing. The first issue being released by Image Comics (most famous for McFarlanes SPAWN) will hit sometime in October and is going to be hot!!!
The title centers on a pair of brothers, Kurt and Daniel Kilgore, who couldn't care less for one another. Kurt, a secret agent, and Daniel, a less than holy priest, bond in a way neither of them expects after Kurt's untimely death. A surprise fusing of Kurt's ghost with Daniel's body creates a chain reaction, turning the brothers into the character, Haunt.
Kirkman had alot to say about Haunt and working with McFarlane calling it "a dream come true".. reserve your first copy at your local comic shop today!!
