Hatchet 3

0 comments
The Hatchet Franchise has been one of the best modern day Horror Franchise's in my personal opinion, since the day's when Freddy,Michael, and Jason were wreaking all havoc on your screens and haunting your nightmares!

Hatchet 1 & 2 was directed by the creator Adam Green while for the 3rd instalment he handed the director duties to his loyal camera operator and new comer to the big chair behind the camera BJ McDonnell, But even with McDonnell directing Adam Green still wrote the screenplay, so basically limiting the direction a new director could take the franchise, but BJ McDonnell still did a pretty damn good job with his limitations!

The movie starts off immediately where the second one finished off with a great horrific gory violent scene between Marybeth and Victor Crowley which ends pretty sweet! don't wanna ruin it for you like other sites may be doing with there review so i'll stop there.

The Movies about a search and recovery team heads into the haunted swamp to pick up the pieces and Marybeth learns the secret to ending the voodoo curse that has left Victor Crowley haunting and terrorizing Honey Island Swamp for decades. (taken from IMDB)

This movie has it all... almost, it has The Gore! The Violence! The Over The Top Kills! A Couple Laughs if your twisted in the head like I may be, but one thing this movie was missing that every slasher film should have is The Titties! <----Highlight there to see what i'm talking about it's not a major spoiler but it may disappoint a few haha.

But overall I loved the movie, and the Cameo cameo from Sid Haig (Captain Spaulding from The Devil's Rejects) was hilarious! and i highly recommend this movie to all fans of Hatchet 1 & 2 and if you ain't seen the first 2 yet i suggest you run out and grab yourself a copy of both! even though its not 100% necessary to see the first 2 to enjoy the third i reccomend it so you'll know the full story of Victor Crowley! and I guarantee you will love them, if your a true fan of the Slasher Genre! or send me your dvd's you buy and i will give you 5$ for them haha

"DEAR GOD NO!"

0 comments

"Dear God No!" is the amalgamation of 3 different exploitation themes; biker flick, monster movie, and 1970's stag film. A biker gang known as the Impalers are going on a rampage, killing all witnesses and generally pissing people off including their own chapter. The leader of the chapter warns the group that if they continue killing every person they come across drawing unwanted attention they will be the number one targets of the entire gang. Now on the run from what's left of the gang, the impalers look for a wealthy house they can creepy crawl Manson style. Unfortunately for the Impalers the house they invade is home to a scientist with a Sasquatch fetish.

I really want to start off by saying that at it's rotten core "DEAR GOD NO!" is a really enjoyable movie, but there's plenty of things that for me personally tried my patience and that is where the film suffered greatly. The opening sequence kind of set that tone, as this long drawn out music piece blared over the dialogue leaving anything the gang said in the first 5-8 minutes entirely up to my lip reading skills which aren't very goddamn good. Of course that was all followed up by the bikers riding towards the camera for what felt like an eternity while the music finished off. In another scene some strippers danced around with the camera zooming in on their tits from different angles until this view of tits became torture (it takes a special kind of talent to make beautiful naked women boring to look at.) Remember on Simpson's when Milhouse, while watching the Poochie episode of Itchy and Scratchy cried out in frustration "Awwww when are they going to get to the fireworks factory?" I really wish every filmmaker out there would keep poor Milhouse's pathetic tone in the back of their heads before subjecting us to the same thoughts. Well, I think I've made my point about the flaws of this film so now onto the fun stuff!

When it comes to these cheesy throwback fanboy exploitation films there are certain beats you need them to hit. For starters the music needs to put you right in the era they intend to mimic. While as I stated above sometimes there was a little too much thought taken to the importance of the music, when used in proper moderation the score was perfect in every way. They need nudity, most of the time the nudity was welcome and again in proper moderation it was awesome. Over the top disgusting characters, I didn't always buy the performances that needed selling and there was certainly some lulls that could have used a punch, but overall some awesome dialogue and good bad acting throughout pretty much kept me grinning the entire time. And lastly great practical effects to fancy up the whole thing! Not all kills were on screen but the ones that were looked fantastic, great squatch effects too! Dear God No is good not great, but it is definitely good. If you've seen the trailer this movie looks like the best discovery you've ever made, so be warned don't go in expecting Manborg, Father's Day, Hobo with a Shotgun or any others that sit at a mighty throne on their own.

American Mary

3 comments

American Mary is the latest and second feature film to be released by the beautiful Jen and Sylvia Soska, the Twisted Twin's who brought us Dead Hooker In The Trunk in 2009. Now I admit that I almost missed this movie since I've never really understood the whole body modification fascination, but decided to give it a go anyways since a great Horror movie can be about anything, even something i don't really understand. And I'm glad I did check this movie out, It 's more then just that it's an insanely enjoyable hour and a half, I was sitting on the edge of my couch the whole time just staring at the TV i couldn't turn away i had to find out what was gonna happen next, my phone rang i ignored it haha nothing was gonna stop me from watching even for a second. It had it all Torture, Strong Violent Content, Disturbing Images, Sexual Content, Nudity,Blood all the perfect ingredient's needed to make a great horror movie.

Mary Mason is played by Katharine Isabelle who was PERFECT for both her acting in the film and the part, i don't think i could picture anyone else playing the part of Mary Mason now, it just wouldn't be the same. I'm looking forward to seeing what The Soska Sisters come up with next! I recommend to everyone reading this to watch this movie! 
Story
The story follows medical student, Mary Mason, as she becomes increasingly broke and disenchanted with the surgical world she once admired. The allure of easy money sends Mary into the world of underground surgeries which ends up leaving more marks on her than her so called 'freakish' clientele.
