The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
Terrifier 3 was a very anticipated film for me. The first two movies were such effective splatter-horror movies. They used the element of humor but was still pretty terrifying. I had high hopes for the third part, to say the least. And believe me, it’s brutal! But it also doesn’t make any sense. In the two first movies, there was still a believable story. There was something more than just gore- and splatter scenes. In...
Beetlejuice 2 is one of those sequels made way too many years after the original film premiered. It means that it becomes a difficult balancing act between being an original sequel and having enough nostalgia connected to the original film. There are other examples out there that struggled with the same dilemma. The most recent I’ve seen is probably Axel F which managed the balance pretty well. Also, the latest installment of Ghostbusters comes to...
Frozen Empire is the latest Ghostbusters installment. That makes it the fourth film in the series. The first two were made in 1984 and 1989 respectively, and the last one just a couple of years ago, in 2021. I was a fan of the first movie when it came out. But when the second one came out back in the day, I can’t remember seeing it. I have done something about it since then, but...
Axel F is the fourth film in the Beverly Hills Cop series. The previous film was made in 1994 so you could argue it was about time. My memories of Beverly Hills Cop 3 are very scarce and limited though, likewise with the second film in the series. They were more or less mere transportation and a cash-in on the first film’s success. Axel F is a continuation of sorts to the third movie though....
Easter Evil is a horror comedy hopefully not made with too much seriousness. I should have known when I started to watch it by the poster art alone that this was going to be something I really wouldn’t enjoy. There’s a charm in watching bad horror movies. Movies that are so bad that they turn good or at least entertaining. Easter Evil doesn’t do that. It’s only bad, never funny or amusing. I think the...
In Fantacide, the leader of a Nazi sect collaborates with a psychotic madman in the search for a relic spoken of in myth. It gives its owner a legendary power which they’re both after. They are not the only ones who want the ancient spear though. It’s a cruel struggle of power where the contestants won’t back down from killing each other in the most bestialised ways. A reporter has at the same time, witnessed...
In Excreamer, Aliens, hostile toilets, a lunatic scientist and a rampage contagion that reminds me of classic zombie symptoms are on display. These are only some of the things this movie contains. The background is that NASA sent up a secret spaceship, full of toilets, into space in 1971. The reasons for this are still commonly unknown except for those who occupy the most influential positions in the power structures hierarchy Many years later when...
Crush the Skull is first and foremost a thriller I think. To some extent, I don’t consider a movie without supernatural parts a horror movie. That only goes so far though. Of course, a film about a deranged killer, as is the case in Crush the Skull, can qualify as a horror flick if it’s scary enough. Or, if the violence is over the top or something like that. But first and foremost it becomes...
Nude Nuns with Big Guns is just what it says. Nude nuns. Maybe there’s not so much footage of complete frontal nun nudity but there’s plenty of topless footage to go around. Does that make this a watchable movie? Well, yes and no. I think it’s necessary for it to work as a parody of sorts of the whole nunsploitation genre. Nude Nuns with Big Guns isn’t really a nunsploitation by itself. It has lots...
Killer Tomatoes Strike Back is the third movie in the Killer Tomatoes series. It was the first one I saw and I thought it was hilariously funny back in the day. I’m not sure if it’s released at all on DVD but I have an old VHS copy of it. The quality isn’t very good but at least I can enjoy the movie. It’s obviously a comedy as well as the other three movies. I...
Iron Monkey is one of those movies that I never saw, but always wanted to see. Finally, I’ve seen it. It was very entertaining! I think we can leave the plot aside really. It’s about this Robin Hood kind of character but in the Far East. I don’t really know if the Iron Monkey is part of Chinese folklore. I wouldn’t be surprised but it doesn’t matter anyway. It’s a classic story about a masked...
Danger Diabolik is another movie I wrote about in Swedish a few years back. It had then been sitting on my shelf for a very long time before I took off the plastic and finally watched it. Furthermore, I had gotten a bit mixed up about what kind of movie it was. I had the impression that it was some sort of superhero film or at least a secret agent flick. But it turned out...
