The doc covers the early 80s satanic panic around a dysfunctional teen drug dealer Ricky Kasso who killed one of his fellow teenagers in 1984. A few points of interest:


- Features Jim Van Bebber. No, he wasn't involved, but someone probably offered him some weed and so he made the whole thing more entertaining. I'm pretty sure I saw him light up there once. Find out what his religion is here.

- The happenings occur in Suffolk County, New York. This is the same place as the Amityville Horror,... Continue »

Not too bad for a fan-made unofficial spin-off of Pulp Fiction.

The film shows a couple days in the life of Zed, Maynard, and the gimp, leading up to their confrontation with Butch and Marsellus. There's not a ton of plot here. It's basically just someone shows up to the pawn shop, gets killed, repeat. But it's a quick 70 minutes. It's gory and trashy, and the lead actors seem to be having fun with it.

I definitely wouldn't call it a must see, but it's not disrespectful to the source material... Continue »

I don't know how this one slipped by me. It feels like something I should have seen over 10 years ago. I think I may have got its title confused with Rush Week and thought I already saw it.

It came out in 1990, but still has that 80s slasher feel. Back in the 60s, Joey Belladonna, singer of Anthrax, accidentally gets killed in a hazing incident, and is now back for revenge.

It contains a whole lot of fraternity hazing hijinks. A whole lot. In fact, halfway through I started to forget I was w... Continue »

If you don't know who Brother Theodore was, you are in for a treat. He has a Wikipedia entry. It is impossible to really explain or describe what he did, but, just give him a chance.. here, watch this, and trust me, it just gets crazier and crazier as it goes along.

Showtime used to be cool back in the day, but now they suck ass. Paramount acquiring them is a downgrade for Paramount, much like HBO acquiring Discovery was a downgrade. I don't understand that one, because that only lead to some convoluted fuckery and show cancellations, but what do I know? Not like I even watch half the shit that's on either one of these platforms, but all these murders and executions^{mergers and acquisitions} are annoying.

Can you believe it's been 10 years since this movie came out? This series is as old as I am, so I must overthink these things. Fiona Dourif (born 1981) plays Nica (born 1988), and is thus supposed to be 25 in the movie. So I was 25 when this came out. God, I miss my 20s. I didn't do much with them, but I sure did love being more resiliant in those years. And it had only been 8 years without a Chucky movie and I'd already thought this franchise was dead...

I'm glad this movie went back to its ho... Continue »

Aside from a few exceptions, I firmly believe movies ought to make sense. It should be the second rule of filmmaking right behind entertainment value, or in some cases, interesting subject matter, depending on the genre. I was watching this one movie the other day, and while it seemed to go OK for a while, it occured to me about half way through that I hadn't a single fucking clue as to what was happening or who anyone was. Not exactly the first... Continue »

Got this 7 blu-ray set the other day...

Been watching the Child's Play/Chucky series all week. Watched Seed earlier only because that's the only way I could watch the ENTIRE series. But talk about jumping the fucking shark! Every bit as cringy as I remember. I think the problem began when someone decided a movie about Chucky's kid had to happen and was the logical next step. I suppose there was really no way to...

I was just thinking, the next time they do a Carrie remake (you know it's just a matter of time) it would be pretty funny if they did the entire movie as straight horror, with absolutely no comedy at all, but then, when Carrie is at the height of her hypertelekinetic killing rampage, they had one male character turn to another (just any two male high school kids at the prom) and say "Bitches, man," with a totally straight face, and the character he says it to would nod solemnly. That would rea... Continue »

F9, the ninth entry in this fucking ridiculous series. Do people really love it as much as they think they do? I think Vin is mediocre at best, and none of the rest of the main cast are particularly A-listers that can sell a movie outside of these nostalgia-ridden teamup efforts. If you don't have a good cast, surely, you must have a good story, right?

Nope. Old plot details are forced into this movie as our characters literally question why they're still alive and unscathed after all these ins... Continue »

you guys, this looks pretty interesting. I don't think I am going to be able to finish it tonight because I just found it a few minutes ago at 2:30 AM where I live. But, I will try to come back to it this weekend.

It is an alternate history, of a WW3 that, of course, did not actually happen. It is set in 1989 and early 1990, but the events of the film diverge from real history pretty early in the film. Anyway, what I have watched so far is interesting and well done. It seems to be some k... Continue »

I'm not a fan of Motley Crue, but I am a fan of titties, so I binged it. Pretty interesting series of events. Rand (Seth Rogen) is a carpenter who Tommy Lee (Sebastian Stan) gives the runaround and refuses to pay him for his work, which really screws him over financially. In "compentory" retaliation, Rand steals the sex tape...

You want him to get revenge because Tommy is such an entitled dick. Rock star in the worst way, which is to say Stan played him well. The performances are great. Lily Ja... Continue »

This was a pretty interesting episode, from 1976. They could have gotten a whole movie out of it. In fact, it may have influenced some horror movies that came after it aired... see what you think.



I shouldn't say too much about it, but I'll just say that it draws partly upon the tradition of ideas from Forbidden Planet, and from Carrie, and it MIGHT have laid some of the groundwork for The Legacy, NOES, Poltergeist, and Halloween 2.

I'll j... Continue »

I made a habit of watching F13 movies on actual Friday the 13ths, but I've slowed down on that. I think I was getting a little burned out on Jason after all these years. Don't get me wrong, I do love the series, and I'll eat up whatever follow-up they shit out, because it's a fascinating series. I've been thinking about Paramount and I think it's funny. Funny and almost out of place. A gamble on the studio that earned them half a billion dollars in the box office, which back in the day was a ... Continue »

I was just thinking, if anybody here has video editing ability, ELO's Fire on High could make pretty interesting music to accompany the famous Night on Bald Mountain segment, from Fantasia. Actually, this is not really an original thought. Somebody left a comment under the YouTube video for Firee on High saying this: " In my imagination the “gothic” intro was like a misty eerie predawn fog and the instrumentals got “sunnier” and more epic as a new day just began. Like someone emerging... Continue »

I'm all caught up now.

MI1 - I remember a lot of hype for this when it came out. Not really worth that hype, but I guess it's not as boring as some other spy movies. At this point, Brian De Palma started to decline.

MI2 - I did watch it. I swear. But I wasn't paying attention because it was boring me and thus I forgot it entirely. Some motorcycle... some Metallica song...

MI3 - Finally, a more engaging entry. This is where JJ Abrams stepped in, and it starts out wi... Continue »

I gave this a whirl, but I'm not caught up on the other shows. Never saw Yellowstone, and I didn't even know there was another prequel show "1883". It's pretty decent so far. What a weird time, though. It's set after the first World War, but there are still new frontiers to conquer.

There are a few threads going on. The main one has Harrison Ford running his land in regard to resources and boundaries, another has a war vet hunting animals in Afirca, and then you have a sadistic catholic school... Continue »

Paramount+ premiered the first episode today. Stallone's never done a tv show, so this is quite interesting. His crew sends him to take over Tulsa, and there's a bit of culture shock to a guy who spent a quarter of a century in the big house.

I visited Tulsa once. I stayed at some hotel and looked out the window at the downtown big buildings and all that, but man... what a ghost town. There was nobody on the streets, no cars... seemed like something you'd see in a zombie apocalypse. And that's... Continue »

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (February) - How are we going to handle Kang?! He's obviously the main reason to be interested, because he'll be so integral to the upcoming slate.

Cocaine Bear (February) - Ray Liotta's final film. The premise sounds GREAT. Will that type of animal horror subgenre make a triumphant return?

Creed III (March) - My guess is that Rocky will be deceased at this point, because why wouldn't the character make an appearance otherwise? Did Stallon... Continue »

So I finally got around to watching the Sci-fi channel show From. I'm currently 8 episodes in with 2 more to go in season 1. I'm finding that the mystery of what's happening really draws me in. In a nutshell, and this is established very early in the show, people arrive at a town and find that they are unable to leave. To make matters worse, as soon as darkness falls the monsters come out. The show likes to drop little bits of information for you every so often which only serves to deepen the my... Continue »

always do the experience even if it leaves you near broke, memories are worth more than 30 euros of food.

In years past I would've said strictly horror but the output of films of recent years dulls in comparison to the days of the HB. Last year I had a tough time making a top 10 list including all genres. This year I'm having a tough time making 5 albeit there are a lot of films I have yet to see this year including The Northman, Pearl, RRR and I hear good things recently about The Menu. I thought it was another subpar year for cinema but here it goes...
