Masters of Horror - Imprint
Youki Kudoh, Michie Itô
Starz / Anchor Bay, 2006
Fantastic Film That Proves Horror Isnt Dead
+ 4 ½ Stars: Takashi Miike's HORRIFIC Short Story about Perverse Vengeance and Twisted Secrets..
+ The torture scene is really...something.
While not as frightening or disturbing as the staff that helms Showtime productions, this film definetly proves that horror and creative filmmaking aren't dead. In this pseudo rebellious, bought off society of vaccous proportions, its great to see someone who still cares enough about film to slap ...

Re-cycle (Director's Edition) 2 disc/gift set
Universe Laser, 2006
ARE YOU IN CHIME WITH YOUR INNER WORLD? YOU'D BETTER BE...
+ Huge Disappointment Upon First Viewing, Huge Triumph Upon the Second
Re-cycle is a relatively new tour de force by Pang brothers and probably one of their last movies made in Hong Kong. After Re-cycle Oxide Pang shot Diary - a curious little psychological thriller and then both he and his brother Danny moved to Hollywood. Hope they'll succeed there because after all ...

I Spit on Your Grave
Camille Keaton, Eron Tabor
Cinemagic, 1998
Infamous but potent and worthwhile (for some)
Originally released in 1978 as "Day of the Woman" and re-released in 1980 with the more popular title (which writer/director Meir Zarchi hates), "I Spit on Your Grave" is a low-budget film telling a simple story of rape-and-revenge. Jennifer Hill, a magazine writer from New York City, rents a ...

Ringu 0 (2000) / Rasen (1998) (Double Feature)
Paramount Home Video, 2007
See the ring
Any good movie is going to get sequels, for better or worse. That includes "Ringu," the shocking modern horror classic that inspired "The Ring" and a lot of weedy-haired ghost girls.
One of the two sequels was "Rasen," adapted from Koji Suzuki's sequel, and "Ringu O," a prequel that tells the ...

Piranha
Belinda Balaski, Paul Bartel
New Concorde, 1999
I'l have a little bite of this and a little bite of that...
+ Locals will get a kick out this
+ Scary, but a short film...
This film has various things going on in it. At times it is quite funny and tongue-in-cheek. But it does have it's ominous moments. One that stands out the most is when the summer camp kids are being nibbled on and watch their nice counselor get taken down by the relentless fish. The music during ...

Ichi the Killer (Unrated Edition)
Tadanobu Asano, Nao Omori
Media Blasters, 2003
The potential offspring of "Analyze That" and "Guinea Pig 2: Flowers of Flesh and Blood"
+ A must have!
+ It's so wrong - I love it
"Ichi The Killer" is a movie that involves gang member Kakihara and his target Ichi, who is, yes, a killer, but also enjoys weekend sitting under a blanket in his bedroom playing his PlayStation. Go figure!
Now, I will say that "Ichi The Killer" is one of the GORIEST movies that has come across my ...

Funny Games
Susanne Lothar, Ulrich Mühe

This was so well done it was almost boring

You know that the 2 boys are playing cat and mouse with their victims. Take out the male first, kill the dog, kill the boy, and when their good and ready they'll come back and finish the job. I don't think it was robbery, I think these two creeps where from wealthy family's themselves, and know ...

Prom Night (Full Screen Edition)
Leslie Nielsen; Jamie Lee Curtis; Casey Stevens; Eddie Benton; Antoinette Bower
platinum disc, 2004
Great 80's Slasher
Prom Night is in my opinion a great film. Jamie Lee is the scream queen!! She plays Kim the main character, who's twin sister died when she was 8 years old, in a tragic accident, when some kids pushed her from a window. Now the kids, including Kim are high school age, and all getting ready for the ...

Helter Skelter (Director's Cut)
Jeremy Davies, Clea DuVall
Warner Home Video, 2004
intelligently written and directed
Way better than the 1976 tv version, in fact, superior in every way--with the exception of Railsback's take
on Manson. Pretty damn gruesome, by the way. The actress who portrays Linda Kasabian is very good here.
Writer/director John Gray does fine work. Am glad they showed what they showed of ...

Jeffrey Dahmer - The Secret Life
Carl Crew, Cassidy Phillips
Spectrum Entertain, 2002
Low budget but accurate and with a very convincing Dahmer
+ Decent enough movie...
THE SHORT: Low budget and unintentionally silly sometimes, this is nonetheless the best telling of the Dahmer story. Forget the sloppy, artsy, woefully miscast early 2000s film "Dahmer"- This is a much more straightforward, accurate version, and with a very true portrayal of the killer.
THE ...

Maniac
Gail Lawrence, Sharon Mitchell
Blue Underground, 2007
Alot deeper than the average slasher.
+ Maniac
+ A pure 80s grindhouse flick, but with depth, complexity, and emotion to boot
Joe Spinell plays Frank Zito. A very disturbed man with murder on his mind. He spends his day dealing with his demons. Then later takes strolls that end with the very brutal demise of single women and couples.
Maniac to me sets itself apart from the average slasher. There's alot more to this ...
