| The Last Winter - Unrated |
Well, when you see Crows in the heart of Alaska...you know somethins up. Ron Perlman, the great actor that he is, plays a minion to the worst sin, Greed. Partnered up with a few Environmental agents who just cannot explain , no matter how hard they try, that there is seriously something wrong, Yes...Alaska is melting, and iys raining, and iys so warm that they cannot even make ice... Of course, theres a message along with the mysterious box which was left and hidden for many years, that apparently, opens up a very valuable oil line, but in fact? Iy is some type of hidden agenda with the government, (surprise!). The cabin fever, the absolute atmos of being stuck in a dying land, and not being able to trust anyone, makes for a plot which only made me wonder just what I would do, if I knew what was happenning. Quite Frightening, and great use of the effects, brings about a message that Yes, in the name of Oil, we are forgetting about our Earth, and you have yo wonder if this war is anything but a distraction to the real 'energy' crisis.

| Repo! The Genetic Opera - R |
I LOVED this film. But? Unfortunately, I was swayed, like many from runningto see it asap, because? Paris Hilton...Once you hear she won a Razzie for it, you no longer want to see it so badly..But? What I realized when seeing it, (after I broke down and bought it, w/out even really knowingmuch about it except it was an Opera, and it was done from a real one...) And Fuck! No WONDER she won a razzie! She did NOT have to act! She LIVES this life, pretty much, if we were about 20 years in the future...(Hmmmm, lets just say she had as much trouble playing this as Courtney Love did, playing a strung out, stripping Junkie bitch in LARRY FLYNT...Get it?) Good. Now...Lets talk about why you SHOULD see this film..One? The writer, and 'Graverobber' Terrance Zdunich is one 'wanted & clever Lad', The (who also did the same role onstage, as it is his written baby!) Then? Lets talk about Paul Sorvino (No, not Jennifer Connelly's Dad in Argento's PHENOMENA..hehe) Apparently the last decade of doing Opera on Broadway has paidoff, as he has an incredible voce, Then? We have Anthony Head, (Incredible playing the dual roles of The Repo Man and the loving Father of Shiloh, Nathan) Sarah Brightman (WhomI saw when she was doing Phantom Of The Opera when it first toured N.America, and made my eyes water at a wonderful Hhigh sustained C...plays an incredible part as Blind Mag, ) Then? Bob Moseley, who is always good as a character actor, (figures, what else do you expect from a guy who was once an editor for Nat'l Lampoons?) plays and sings his part amazingly, and then, the biggest surprise? My ol buddy Ogre, (Formerly of Localact Skinny Puppy fame...I didnt know who he played until I guessed, then was sure as soon as I saw his infamous REVCO tattoo...and others that were too familiar to be anyone elses, and He sings Opera!) His seething voice with a great Italian accent really makes you forget that he used to growl through so many effects and under so many masks and guts, that you would NEVER think of him to be able to sing Opera...But Man! He should kickstart his career playing offbeat characters, as he compliments Bob Moseley very well.. Then? We have Shilo, Alex Vega...for such a teeny tiny lil wee thing, she sure has 'pipes'..(Of course, it isnt all Opera, but? for her character? she does a job worthy of a stage performance...Allof them do...(But I doubt Paris can A.Sing on stage, live..and B. Act, onstage, live...) So? Having all this known...I havent even begun on how original the plot is, how colourful the setup and images, and mise en scene are, and generally? What an amazing technicolor, foot stomping, feats for the eyes and ears, and the story is just amazing..Not too much CGI, (like almost none..) and the Gore factor? although, honestly? You really do not need it, but the parts that are? Are done well, and fair enough, really arent gory as opposed to just well put. I screen Horror for an award winning theatre every week here in Vancouver, and I must say? When I first finally saw this? I decided that I HAVE to screen it...for not? Would be keeping a rare original gem that we jaded Horror hounds just donot see in a smart and clever film like this very much as of the last decade...I give the music, the cast, and everyone else involved (ESPECIALLY Mr.Zdunich) a virtual standing ovation and throw a rose frommy teeth to the cast...This is one you WILL want in both your audio soundtrack device, and DVD player as well..

| Living Hell (Organizm) - R |
Made for TV's Sci-Fi channel, we see that the standards, and disturbing frights, have obviously been granted by the channel, as this one has it. A very smart, intelligent film, Iys no surprise to me that there are many hidden secrets that The Gov't does not want you to know about...The plot was original as hell, and the acting was alright...But it was the effects that I was really impressed with, as cheesy as it was at times, however, they still manage to use old methods, mixed with new, to animate the 'threat' (which in iyself is a very ingenious idea) I know many fans hear its a 'Made for TV' and automatically assume its gonna suck...Just remember tho, that may of the best films, imo, such as The Night of The Scarecrows, and so on, were meant for TV, and made it into quite a hit.

| The Zombie Diaries - Unrated |
What a breath of Fetid Fresh air! I actually got ahold of a region 2 disc, and Man! What a great plot...it has the twists, and is set up in a very confusing manner that is highly remiscent of MEMENTO, meaning? I had to watch it again, after seeing it, as it makes alot more sense the second time round. Iys funny, I had the screener of Diart of the Dead when it came out, or whatever you want to call what happened to it, as it wasn't released theatrically here in N.America. This film impressed me more than Diary of the Dead, no burn on Romero...but i really liked this one, as it showed just how humanity might re-act in a Zombie attack...Meaning? Its just noy a bunch of drunk rednecks shooting zombies for fun...But there are far worse members of the human race that are equally, if not more cruel and inhumane than the typical redneck scene with them blowin Zombies away, drunkily laughing, Nobody ever thinks that people may actually see this type of an attack for all the crime that would be allowed, as en masse? The protectors(police) have much more to worry about... I liked this alot, and notice I am pretty alone on it, But? as they say? To each their own, and I am glad I own this one! |

| The Faculty - R |
When I first saw this one, I went "Meh...I'll pick it up...Someday."...and years passed, saw it on TV 2 or 3 more times, and then I got it as part of a Spawn Day Package, and I sat down a decade later on my 5.1 theatre, and figured that I remembered it being very watchable...(and I love Piper Laurie). Well...What the 90's do to your brain when you lived through em, and survived? This film defines it in a tight little package. The start of cgi being used to over play some effects that once produced 'ooooooooo's and 'ahhhhhhs', and the actors...Thats what got me...I had forgotten what a fine cast this one has, Not to mention the memory that Yes, there was a time N.America was still in the lead ()and in their right minds) when it came to Horror just as the change was occurring....I am not going to sit here and praise it immensly, However, I am going to recognize it for what it is... |

| The Last House on the Left - Unrated |
One of N.Americas first real shocker from Craven, This one will stand the test of time, no matter how many rip-offs (i.e. Chaos) are made...If you get the chance to pick up a copy of the book about it, I highly recommend it, and also urge any really big fans to seek out the only other edition put out besides MGM's...as there is one, and it kicks ass! And Yes! She really DID piss her pants... Gorewhore Out... |

| Lost In Translation - R |
Normally, My daily regiment must include at LEAST one Horror flick...(One a day heeps your annoying wimp aquaintences away!) But then there are the days where the usual screaming, guts and gore just won't do it...I soon discovered, after watching LIT , ironically enough, in another country, far far away, and discovering new peoples and places...Now I know this for sure: If you are alone, and nothing is warm near you, save maybe a Cat, and you miss the one you love, you watch Lost In Translation. If you have had a day full of misunderstandings and clusterfuck ass wipes, you come home, and settle with Lost In Tranbslation...and if all else fails, even the most goriest, demented stuff just reminds you of absent fiends...You watch Lost In Translation. I must admit tho...I never thought that little gal in Hearts of Darkness, would ever turn out to be so amazing at what she does...(But then, she IS a Coppola...Just like Nick Cage...he is also part of that family, but he doesn't let on...) Bill Murray...Thought he was great as Hunter S Thompson in 'Where the Buffalo's Roam', and this is no exception...Bill Mrray is amazing as ever! Gorewhore Out... |

| Hostel: Part II - R |
Ya know when you have a new roomie, (and you havent had one in 4 years!?) and they see that you have over 1000 DVDs, and they are all horror, and the one flik they want to see is Hostel 1 &2?? It is a wee frustrating...Kind of like the SAW quadrology, (Oh yeah...thats right up there..) Basically you own these because they are your business tools? Well..this is my fate right now...a new roomie, with an aching to see all the SAW's and HOSTELS...and what can you say, especially when they bought you Pizza and junk food? Damn! Well, it is an Eli Roth flik(s) and so, I suppose for the sake of being a Tromette, and respect for another TROMA Alimnus, I did not mind...Besides, I had not watched it since I bought it, so what the hell, right? This one? Is better than the first, imo....Maybe it was because we see just how sinister this society turns out to be, and also places women into power roles.(From Elizabeth Bathory tribute, to Honey gots the $$$) Hostel 2 doesnt have any shameless 'love' scenes to the beat of techno music from The Wicker Man, Nope, pretty fucking straight up for this one, Not to mention 'The Twist' and a very realistic job of a manhood being cut into place...After watching this, you have an overwhelmong craving to go and take a nice blood bath, or get back at a shit ex-boyfiend. I wonder what the third will reveal? If you havent seen this, and dont plan to? You are either one who despises Horror fliks, or? You love them SOOO very much? You do not wish to soil your tastebuds with anything substandard...In any case? This one is the better of the two in gore and plot...(But see the first one, as it really is a busted must...)

| The Sentinel - R |
As Stephen King said "Films that feature real human oddities, i.e. Freaks, The Sentinel, is more frightening to the audience, as there is no zipper running down the costume back, The reality of that, is what makes it so creepy..." Ya know...I remember watching this on Pay TV as a kid...and thinking, "Holee! Those are real people!" and, just like Brownings FREAKS, (and even THE FREAKMAKER) are all films that have incredible people in them. But back to the film itself. With a stallar cast of young actors, (a very young and warped Beverly D'Angelo with Ava Gardner as a set of Lascivious Lesbians, along with a very strange Burgess Meredith, then there is a very young and quiet Chris Walken...SOOOO young!) Amongst others. Chris Sarandon flexes his manly moustache in this truly unsettling battle between the God, and the Dogs of hell, in a very brutal, and relentless gory series of murders, (seriously...there is one scene where a face gets it damned hard, and the effects? Brilliant! (considering the time period...it is even well done by todays KNB standards) Very remiscent of ROSEMARY'S BABY (or would make a great pairing with for a Double Bill.) we see that just like the Ghost hunters say: "The houses, mansions, wherever, retain spititual residue within their very existance, be it a block of concrete, brick, or tile...every part of a building can remember, and hold spirits within."This one always does somethin for me...

| Feed - Unrated |
I got this one a coupla years ago...and it was actually suggested to me by the late, great Robert Epstein (RIP). He wanted to know what I thought of it, before he wrote about it. I was a bit confused, as he would ask about Horror fliks that were not so well known, to just the obscure, But he felt as though this film had mixed feelings. Indeed, as we can see...there are. Its no shock to us, as we all know just how sad the state of bariatric problems and Obesity are here in N.America and the UK, It has become an 'Epidemic' they say...Never mind the $$$ that is spent on trying to save peoples lives, cause they don't, or won't stop eating fatty foods. Could it be people like 'Chubby Chasers' and all the models we see in funny posts and vids of extremely overweight women in scant clothing to laugh at, and sadly, there are those who can justify their happoness being so dangerously overweight, JUST because of the freak factor. This film presents a very sick and probably real situation that is dealt with quite well. It may not horrify men as much as id does females, prolly because we females seem to be the ones that are bombarded with what we need to look like to please others. And just like any Fetish, Yes, there are Obesity freaks who perpetuate that it is beautiful, and encourage the debauchery that is slowly killing them. This film is a cruel vision of where some seek their pleasure and greed in the form of sites dedicated to the largest, unmovable, blobs of human life put up for frighteningly large amounts of admirers. Except it is more evil and seething than even the worst possible exploitation of a medical addiction to food. We are also reminded that these women are worked by those who know exactly what these poor women want to hear...which sure beats what they are used to not wanting to hear. This film is not a happy one, but an enlightening one, and certainly made me think, and definately stands out on its own. A very controversial film, I think it is frightening because of how close to home we know it is...and sometimes that is all a good flik needs. I recommend it to anyone that wishes to see a disturbing reality, well done effects and make up, and what seems to be an ignored original plot. At least rent it. Gorewhore Out. |

| Hot Fuzz - R |
I remember the first time I saw HOT FUZZ, actually? It was even when I saw the trailer that knowing many of Edgar Wrights more 'unknown' exploits (Look Around You, Spaced) and of course, SOTD, I was not going to be disappointed. And when I did see it? I loved it! You just cannot hate anything these guys do! Its impossible! I even tried to make myself think it was just an action film mochery, But it wasn't! It had many gory bits (all well done as per usual with these guys) and the plot was amazing! If you are like me, and saw SOTD first, (and some of Wright and Peggs TV series..) you know that they are true autuers, you would know that it was their film, even if they were nowhere listed! Its just like Ed says "Edgar Wright: Director Extraordinaire" Make sure you get the double reg.2 of this release... Gorewhore Out. |

| The Rocky Horror Picture Show - R |
By the time I was 9, I knew every lyric to every song, as my Dad was a die hard, and it was the only tapes we played in the car. Saw it at 9, (and I will ask you to note that it was the very beginning of the 80's when that was) RHPS is a phenomenon I have had the pleasure of screening, and playing 'Magenta' on the stage, and even now, decades after seeing it as a 9 yr old, INo matter what, as jaded as I think I am, I can't help but find myself shouting lines out even if I am viewing it all alone in my home...I must admit tho...as far as musical mayhem in fliks...PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE is actually one I would want to screen, as it does actually have a larger (and fresher) following, as it is one of my faves, with TROMA's POULTRYGEIST running almost just as close. (Then there is also Cannibal The Musical, as well, from TROMA...besed on the true story of Alfred Packerd) A niche of a genere, its a fresh one, and always makes for great toe-stompin. There will never be another...(and the fool that thinks it could be re-made will have a virtual army cursing them...Thats a warm and fuzzy feeling. Gorewhore Out... |
