I was originally interested in seeing this because of the back story. I had seen House of the Devil, and was impressed with the early 80’s feel slow burn quality of the film. I lived in Connecticut for most of my life, and took summer classes at Central Connecticut State University, so seeing that area…
It has been a while, but I’m back with a new review! My apologies for the delay, I have been busy preparing for the launch of my “What Did I just Watch” podcast with Freq Media Entertainment, and still working on my master’s degree. Despite all that, I found some time this weekend to watch…
I saw two movies this weekend, back to back. One was The Cabin in the Woods, and the other was Bully. Of the two Bully was the bigger horror movie, so I’m writing a review of that first. Going into the movie, I didn’t expect to have too much sympathy, because I am part of…
There has been a lot of talk about The Hunger Games recently. I have read the comparisons to Battle Royale, to The Running Man and even to Logan’s Run and Dangerous Game. I have read that The Hunger Games topped $15 million in advance ticket sales. Unfortunately, I even read some of the racist tweets…
I saw the original The Human Centipede and found it mildly enjoyable, mostly because of Deiter Laser’s (best name ever for an actor) portrayal of Dr. Heiter. How fitting that the evil doctor’s name sounds like “hater” in English! With that said, The Human Centipede is the type of movie you watch once just to…
Let’s just start with the name of this one. As a fourteen year-old with a newly minted affinity for B-movies, when I walked by this at the local mom and pop video store I had to rent it. Back then it was on VHS, and this was pre IMBd and Rotten Tomatoes scores, so one…
Midnight Movie Mayhem! If you are new to my Rewind Reviews, they are just my responses to rewatching movies that I watched as a kid. Today I’m going to talk about a (writer/director) Frank Henenlotter classic, Basket Case. Henenlotter is also known for Brain Damage (1988) and Frankenhooker (1990). I’ve seen those as well.…
Instead of writing a straight review, I’m going to write my reactions as I was having them during the movie. You’ve probably read enough reviews with paragraphs of some film industry reject pontificating about the quality of the movie. I don’t care about the quality, just about the reaction I have as a viewer. So…
I remember renting this movie at the now closed Video Magic (Although some people used to call it Magic Video. The sign said Video Magic), back when they had the rent 5 movies, for 5 days, for 5 dollars. The caveat being that they could not be new releases. As a matter a fact I believe the movies were still on VHS. I love a good B-movie, although I’ve been known to watch the bad ones too. Anyway I was 14 years old when I rented this and all I could remember before tonight, was that I liked it.
This is what happens when people grow up thinking “Final Destination” & “I know What You Did Last Summer” are horror movies, think that vampires sparkle and go to high school even when they are over 300 years old (Can you say statutory rapist?), and get over exposed to watered down remakes (I’m looking at…
