The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
Eight Eyes is a movie set in Serbia, at least to begin with. Later the plot is transferred to Macedonia I believe. It is a joint production between the USA and Serbia and half the dialog is in Serb language. The other half is in English. Of course, I have to rely on the subtitles to understand the Serbian parts. So, in essence, I can’t really tell which language it is. It just seems most...
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...
If you liked Terrifier, you’re gonna like Terrifier 2 as well. Hands down, this is a brutal slasher. It has lots of gore and a whole lot of humor in it too. It’s kind of like Funny Games. Not that it comes up to those standards of social commentary. No, but the way the acting is carried out. Michael Haneke said about Funny Games that the perpetrators are playing in a comedy, whilst the victims...
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...
Recently I have been very interested in older horror movies and I stumbled across The Secret of the Blue Room. This was supposed to be just that, an older horror movie. I had not heard about it before, so I concluded that it was not one of the true classics. But the plot still seemed very interesting. There’s something about a looked door mystery that just appeals to me. I don’t know how that started...
Before I even realized that To You Last Death was an animated film I thought the cover art was totally awesome. Then, when I realized that animation was the thing I was kinda discouraged. It took me a while to get into the right mood. But I’m glad I finally got around to watching it! It’s a very entertaining movie to be sure! I like the animation style and it’s very bloody and violent without...
When I first Saw House on the Haunted Hill from 1999 I knew there was some kind of original that the movie was based on. I also knew that it starred Vincent Price and I thought that Geoffrey Rush’s makeup just had to be an homage and nod to the original film made 30 years earlier. But I had actually never seen the original. And even if my first contact with the remake was a...
Slaughter Hotel is also known as Asylum Erotica which might be a better title. There are some murders or slaughter of people going on here but it’s not the main thing about the movie. Let’s get one thing straight right from the beginning. Slaughter Hotel is about the women in front of the camera. We get plenty of opportunities to enjoy their bodies and their sexuality. To say that there are sleazy moments in this...
Once upon a blue moon, you come across a truly different movie. Borgman is one of those flicks where you initially start thinking about the meaning and significance of some of the events. It’s very interesting to see the development and it’s actually really suspensive. And that is just because everything is not force-fed down your throat. The director and screenwriter force us – the audience to think a bit for ourselves. That’s what I...
I would be lying if I said that this wasn’t a tough book to get through. It’s not only that the theme is totally horrifying, dealing with child abuse and torture. There are graphic descriptions of incest and even murder of infants. That isn’t the worst part. The worst part is the Yolanda is a real person and that this is her story of what happened to her. I’ve read my fair share of extreme...
Real Clickbait is kinda annoying as we all experienced it one way or another. You know when you find an interesting topic described in some header and once you click it you realize that the content is not what you were hoping for. Clickbait is a very effective way to attract views to your site and blogs. For this Netflix series, it’s not really the same though. Of course, the main story begins with just...
I remember when My Little Eye first came out. It was pretty hated by horror film fans out there. I, for one, actually liked it. A few weeks ago I decided to re-watch it to see if I was “wrong” back then or if I actually still liked it. To be honest, My Little Eye is a somewhat “dumb” film. The acting isn’t much to brag about and there aren’t enough brutality in it. I...
