Fraternity Massacre at Hell Island

Mark Jones' new gay horror/ comedy Fraternity Massacre at Hell Island has a bunch of frat brothers from ZAP who can't wait to get their new pledges out to Hell Island so they can terrorize them at their annual Hell Night. But it seems like everytime they have it someone always seems to get hurt and trust me this year will be no different, it'll be even worse!

The obviously mentally ill Dean calls in two of the brothers and proceeds to tell them there is not to be absolutely under any circumstances a Hell Night this year and they basically laugh at him and are going to do it anyway. Josh Jones is one of the pledges and a closet homosexual and his kooky roommate who is obsessed with clowns wants to pledge really bad but he can't and he gets really pissed.

So the boys wait for dark and head out for a night they have planned all year for and they can't wait to get started with freaking out the pledges. Thing is, there is a demented circus looking clown on the island offing whoever he can get his happy little hands on. Who could it be in that clown costume, maybe the Dean because he has finally snapped? Or maybe it's Josh's spited roommate? Or Johnny Brooklyn?

The lowdown here is that you'll see very affectionate gay guys, not enough blood and a desperate naked girl in the shower who was about to get lucky but the cranky clown killed her lucky contender. It's the type of B movie that you would see on something like USA's Up All Nite TV show they used to have on late at night on the weekends.

Someone's Knocking on the Door

If I go by my rating system, Someone's Knocking on the Door gets a full five slashes- this movie was crazy, sick, disturbing, and perverted. I must be a freak myself but I haven't had a movie keep me looking at the screen and not budging from my seat for anything in years. Ezra Buzzington is a psychotic maniac and plays the part well!

This is a film that has you wanting to make everyone you know watch it and see what their reaction will be. The very opening scene paves the way for the fucked up yelllow brick road you'll be traveling down. A group of close friends like to experiment with drugs and each other but the only problem is there's a nasty side effect to that drug and their names are John and Wilma.

These two will kill off your high just like they will kill you in some pretty wicked ways that you will never forget. Out of all of them, Meg is the only straight laced one in the bunch and doesn't put those crazy
chemicals in her body.So one day when they are hanging out in medical records basement going thru serial killers Jon and Wilma's files, everyone except Meg pops the drug and listens to a taped session.

I honestly think that Chad Ferrin's Someone's Knocking on the Door in my opinion was a freakin Horror
Masterpiece- it's got it all and more! I loved the scene where Meg is running down the wet hallway and keeps falling, it's not one of those stupid "Oh, I just keep falling down in the woods for no reason so I can get slaughtered" moves. This is a film you don't wanna miss....

Slasher

I received German director Frank W. Montag's film titled Slasher as a screener and it wasn't that bad, it was sort of entertaining. It's a flick that will make you go "Man, I really do miss all of those old school slashers!" You might even start going thru your massive DVD collection with a vengeance so you can break them all out and watch all the blood flow once again!

Here a group of friends decide to take a break from school and head into the back woods of Germany and go camping. On the way out they run into a family of inbreds that live in a cottage. Now they were creepy! Around the campfire one guy tells a scary story while hoping to freak everyone out and with some help it works. Too bad in a few moments that safe scare is going to turn into terrifying reality.

To be completely honest the film wasn't as good as I hoped it would be, but it's watchable. There wasn't
a lot shown which could be disappointing to all the hardcore slasher fans but if your a novice just starting out on horror, this is up your alley for sure. It'll break you in and get you ready for the next step up which would be more in depth killing and more scares.

I will be honest and say I was hoping for more than I got out of watching this. I mean it isn't as bad as someone running their jagged fingernails slowly across a chalk board it was more like a nagging feeling
of what could of been. I think it could of been a lot more visual with the killing since that is what scares most people.

HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY READING IT:)

Every girl dreams of going to her prom. From what she is going to where, how her make up will be and where will her hot date be taking her afterwards. Well how would you feel if your date and their friends brought you to an old abandoned house in the middle of an out of the way orchard to scare you with tales of an urban legend?


I would be pissed! Especially when I had to walk thru the dirt and mud in my nice heels- I mean all of that primping and finally putting on the dress you took such care in buying only to go sit in some dirty old house while your date tried to scare it off of you. Not cool! Do they really think that is the way to go? A girl doesn’t get in the mood by being spooked.

Ella deep down is sweating the possibility of getting caught since her over protective father dropped her off at the dance with high hopes for her and her evening. Jennifer Tilly plays their teacher Miss Perry who seems to like those young high school boys. By the end of the night there might not be any boys left for her to play with.

Soon the game shifts and the urban legend himself turns up with the straw hat and flannel shirt and creates some real scares killing whoever he can get hands on. Will any of these girls survive to go home and try to get the blood stains out of their dresses? Or will they all be left dead at the orchard and used as human compost?

Skullheads

An eccentric family lives in a humongous beautiful castle where there are valuables and treasures nestled all over the place. Daughter Naomi is a weird one and this is because the poor girl isn’t allowed to do anything. If she is caught with trivial things like a cell phone or an ipod she is taken down to the dungeon and tortured for it.

One day the cook takes one of the sheep from their farm and cooks it up for dinner and Peter the older half brother takes it very badly and spends the whole dinner sobbing hysterically at the table until Naomi gives him a stuffed animal. The Dad Carver couldn’t wait to tell Peter that it was their sheep since he has a very mean streak running thru him.

Well the cooped up Naomi is estacic when three Hollywood people come to the door just about begging to use their castle for a movie. Carver just about tells them to screw off and that’s the end of it! Well Naomi who craves attention talks her mom into it and then all hell breaks loose. Dinner is crazy and then it turns out these movie producers aren’t there for a film shoot at all.

I guess these fools wish they would of known about the Skullheads that guard the castle and this freaky family. Of course these cool little guys are what make the movie, I really wish there was more scenes with them in it. It was funny how the one was peeking around the corner smoking a joint. Skullheads is your typical Charles Band movie so you won’t be disappointed

Albino Farm

Albino Farm is another film about an urban legend with a bunch of freaky inbred misfits that love to grab a hold of the tourists and perhaps eat them for dinner. For a project, four college students are out in the Ozark Mountain town when they start to discuss this local legend. The town also has a century old group of religious fanatics.

Well It seems that the kids get kinda off the project and more into the town legend as they go along. Naturally curiosity gets at them and they decide they just have to go off and explore in those woods for the freaks themselves. If they were smart they would of stuck with just listening to all the horrible stories instead of trying to actually relive it.

Now creeping around they have to face some real life horrors of the most disturbing kind. Body parts are placed in spots and you have to wonder do they like to gnaw on them for a treat? Can these kids escape their terrible fate with maybe some minor cuts and bruises? Or will they end up being a part of some inbreds diet?

I think scariest thing in the whole movie was Bianca Barnett’s character pig bitch. Now she was some inbred looking animal with a pig face and a seemingly a strong sexual appetite. I wouldn’t want to bump into her ass anywhere! Yuk, I was amazed at how well she seemed to skeeve me out in the very short time she was on film.

Hot Blood Sundae

Hot Blood Sundae is the new horror/comedy that stars Internet sensation Bobbi Bilard, Akira Lane, Gelussa Zaripova, Joanna Hernandez. Directed By Jon Darbone and Produced By Trevor Veilleux, Hot Blood Sundae deals with a newly changed ice cream shop that went from boring and scarcely making it into an full booming adult aimed business.

Now the girls are called the Scopettes and they all wear flimsy little outfits so when they wait on the customer their thongs are all up in their drooling faces. If you like reality TV then you’ll definitely recognize the Sherif’s sexy female partner as Cocktail from the MTV series For the Love of Ray Jay and she was also on Season 1 of Oxygen’s The Bad Girls Club.

The ingredients that make this film roll are ice cream, big boobs, and lots of blood – Oh did I mention big boobs? Unfortunately for the girls someone is not liking the fact that their sexy images are selling the goods . One day a Scopette named Paula is found dead and bloated in the freezer. Will this horrible incident hurt business? Hell no! People seem to want ice cream even more now.

So now the mystery begins, who is offing all the hotties? Could it be the nasty bum who came in with some spare change and waxed one on and off while waiting for his order? Or is it the boss’s wife who is not liking this whole Scopette thing? All we know is that if the killer isn’t caught soon there will be no hot babes to sell the ice cream!

So pop Hot Blood Sundae in and plop on the couch with a big bowl of ice cream and see what kind of trouble this killer is causing. Now the ice cream just seems to be even tastier than usual and perhaps just a smidge more red… Hmm I wonder why? Just hope you don’t lick that first layer off and find a stringy eyeball or who the hell else knows what

Slices- The Movie

Slices- The Movie is a series of five separate films that all come together in the end. A man with what seems like insomnia is plopped on the couch watching late night TV titled Theatre of the Macabre with a peculiar horror host named Professor Lucious Phibes. He introduces us to the first film on the menu called The Exterminator. Here a nasty executive gets his just deserts when he is kidnapped and tortured in the veins of films like Hostel or Saw.

The next film on Professor Lucious’ list is Dead Letters and in it a very popular author named Ash can’t seem get over his ex wife who has passed away. He is pining at her grave when his agent Tyler comes and tells him he needs to move on and get his ass back to writing best selling novels. Tyler also thinks he can get him a pretty nice book deal. When he comes to Ash’s house for dinner, really sees how hung up the old man really is!

My favorite one outta the bunch was the next called Night Screams. Here two couples head out to what they think will be a sex filled party type of situation until there is a knock on the door and Sandra shows up to sink her teeth into the situation. The Range had the whole western 1880’s theme with three Confederate soldiers on the run from the law. After they meet up with skin ripping zombies they’ll wish they just nested up behind those jail cell bars!

The final show on Professor Phibes list is The Turn Out where a guy and his girl are led out to this romantic spot by a friend so he can drop on one knee and ask the love of his life to marry him. So when they get there the friend wanders off to give the two lovebirds some privacy. Well too bad they didn’t notice the old dirty man lurking in the woods. Now he has the couple in his grips, will they manage to escape or will that wedding never come to be?

Victor Juliet's Directors Cut

I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did but Victor Juliet’ s was a trip and very fun to watch. In each chapter you get a little tidbit of a story that was totally enjoyable and even though this is a independent film it will keep you interested in whats going on in all these different situations. Victor Juliet is the eccentric film maker that will do whatever it takes to get the project done.

His cronies are his casting director Rachel, and his all around go getter is Pete. They will do whatever Mr. Juliet likes and are very loyal with mouths that will not speak a word of what takes place for a film project to get finished. Victor will go to extremes to get the results he wants like buying a formula to change actors into zombies from a very elite organization.

An actress named Sara is extremely excited that she finally got her first call back to be in a film. She gets there excited but admitting she is a little nervous since it will be her first time actually acting in a film. Can Sara make the grade to be in this unique horror flick? Or will Sara just be a test run for a sexier chick needing to be slaughtered? Take a little peek and you’ll grasp what I am getting at!

Rough Cut Article

Would you kill to make a movie? The scary thing is, two independent filmmakers did. In January 2003 a woman was found beaten, strangled, and stabbed in her Pennsylvania home. 8 months earlier, an independent horror film was shot on the nearby Appalachian Trail. Rough Cut is a feature length documentary that explores the twisted true tale of two first-time filmmakers who had a dream of making a horror movie and the bizarre events that followed.

Blaine Norris decided he wanted to make a horror film. He didn't really have much cash and only one actress that was experienced and had already made a name for herself and that was Robin Griggs. Robin was from Scranton PA and starting acting at the tender age of three. She ended up moving to New York to appear in Annie. She got an agent and was cast on One Life To Live and then later on Another World. She left the soaps and now has become a female fixture in Horror movies.

Girggs was injured and broke her wrist so she had to drop out of Through Hike, the film Norris was counting on her name to get it some exposure. Here are the events that led up to the gruesome discovery that Blaine had actually committed murder for his film:

At 8:29 p.m. on January 10, 2003 police in Camp Hill, PA received a frantic 911 call from Brian Trimble. He had just returned home from dinner with a friend and found his wife, Randi, in a pool of blood on the garage floor.

Before the brutal murder occurred, the house looked as though it was burglarized. Suspicions immediately arose in the seasoned detectives investigating the case. Evidence pointed towards the husband, but his alibi was airtight.

For the next 9 months detectives and law enforcement officials used every tool at their disposal to solve this truly bizarre crime.

Randi's husband Brian was friends with Blaine. Randi didn't link the idea of him loaning out his expensive equipment or even being involved with the film.

If the couple were having problems why not just divorce? Why on earth did Brian feel that murder was the better way to go.

Watch the film/ documentary and see why this man did what he did. Randi didn't deserve to die because of her husband wanting to get a divorce or for the future of the film Through Hike!

Mental Scars

Sometime’s things that happen to you as a child can permanently mess you up and possibly leave you with mental scars. The story here is about an old junkyard called Taggart’s Automotive that is now owned by Lanucci Development, and they plan to make it into a parking lot. The previous owners Betty and Gus Taggart used to live in the old house on the property with their kids.

One day they get an eviction notice on their door and are distraught to think that they are going to lose everything. The Taggart’s one son David had some severe mental illness that made him so much different from his brother Joshua. Joshua constantly tormented his older brother in any way he could find. David was bigger than his brother and should of just beat his ass but maybe he didn’t quite have the mentality to hurt family.

Dedra Lanucci is the cut throat head bitch at Lanucci Development and will bite your head off in a second! Kennedy Smith is the accountant for the company that accidentally finds out the junkyards torrid past thru a gossiping neighbor walking her dog, and believe me the terror goes way back beyond the Taggart’s! You will watch this film and see David Taggart creeping thru the junkyard with his knife poised.

He will prey on anyone who steps foot in the junkyard and you can tell it’s him because of that signature way he nervously plays with his bloody hair. If you head over to the films website you can check out photos from the film as well as merchandise. They have a really cool David doll that will be out soon, wonder if they will hook me up with a discount? Check out the trailer below.

November Son

Two years ago an obsessive gay love triangle came to a head and not only destroyed three men’s lives but it shocked everyone around them. Emily Hamilton played by Judith O’Dea is grieving the loss of her son and the way she treated him right before he died. Everyday this woman has to get up and remember just how rotten she really was to Elliot. It’s just so hard for an old horse to learn new tricks.

Openly gay and proud of it Eli ends up moving into the apartment that two of the victims previously shared. I think he feels it’s negative energy as soon as he steps foot inside but he likes the place and decides to rent it. George, Eli’s father is fresh out of prison and starts to date Nancy who is played by Brinke Stevens. Nancy is hip to the whole gay thing so she just misses her son immensely.

Nancy starts to think that maybe George is more than a disappointed father at Eli being gay. She starts to believe that maybe he likes men as well. George doesn’t take that suggestion too kindly and they have a huge fight. One thing I was surprised to learn was that this film was a sequel to a film October Moon. But don’t worry if you have never seen it like myself, you don’t need to.
But you might want to after seeing this!

All of the people in Eli’s life seem to be fucked up in some way or another so when Emily hires him and then starts to treat him as her lost son. I guess she thinks from doing this she is making up for what she put her son thru. Suddenly people start dying in torturous ways and you try to figure it out…but can you?

The Vampire Diaries Part 1: Thicker than Water

Phil Messerer is a freakin genius! The Vampire Diaries Part 1: Thicker than water is going to have you glued to the screen and if you aren’t, then you have something severely wrong with you. This film is a burst of fresh air and even though it’s about vampires the storyline is amazing and quite different than what you are used to. I give this film a full five slashes because yes, it’s that damn good.

This dark horror comedy has the gothed out Lara who despises her prissy twin sisters ways and sometimes wishes she would just fall from the planet and be done with already. Lara has a shrine of Anne Rice in her closet where she does a spell against her sister. Well soon after her sister Helen suffers a massive nose bleed that caused so much blood loss she lies in bed pale and frail as the doctor tells her mother she just needs some rest and she’ll be fine.

It’s great how the family is so dysfunctional that they all decide to help Helen stay alive by supplying her victims since she has a rare blood disease that makes her ache for that hot gush of metallic liquid to flow from her fangs down her throat. I actually can’t even dredge up one negative comment because that is just how much I liked it. I have been shouting from my rooftop that everyone needs to grab this.

I can not wait for the next installment of this series. I am addicted after seeing such madness take place in a household. As a mother what would you do when your beautiful perfect daughter becomes a monster? Do you just kill her and be done with it? Or would you figure out a way to keep her well fed and try to keep this bloody secret under wraps?

Helen’s brother Raymond is a very intelligent student of science who keeps a stack of gay porn under his bed that he thinks no one knows about. He morphs from a geeky Bill Ny the science guy type into a confident man eating shark who has no qualms about feeding his sister. I am almost positive that you will be hearing much more about this exciting film. Screw Twilight, The Vampire Diaries deserves to be reckoned with!

5 outta 5 slashes!

Robert Newman's Clown was released on Friday the 13th

Clown

On a warm weekend in June, a group of friends venture to the mountains for a weekend getaway. No parents, no professors, just pure unadulterated fun and games. Little do they know, they’re not alone. Out in the wilderness, just a stone’s throw away at the edge of the tree line, there is a dark presence waiting and watching the group. One of the main protagonists, Rachel is the first to realize that there is peril in the woods beyond the rickety old cabin, where they’ll be sleeping. Josh (who wants nothing more than to have the nerve to approach Rachel and tell her how much he adores her) politely humors her and her worries of them never making it home again. The rest of the group however, laughs off her comments about the rustling in the bushes, the sounds of crazy laughter, and the shadows that keep moving around. Is she just crazy, or are they going to be picked off one by one?
