*******************
Movie Details: Roy Logan is an average guy who works as a bouncer in a local bar and grill. Every night when he goes to sleep he has the same disturbing dream. In this dream he sees and feels himself dying – always in the same way and the same place – over and over and over again. Seeking a solution for this unusual problem, Roy consults a college professor, mystic, and student of the occult who tells him he has been born with both a blessing and a curse: a phenomenon known as The Darken. Those who carry this stigma are marked by fate - destined to live until a predetermined time and place are reached and are given foreknowledge of their oncoming death – usually in the form of dreams. Roy tries to resist the idea and soon comes to learn that, not only is the Darken his reality, it has cast him into a series of profound events concerning the struggle between good and evil. He encounters a young girl named Rhea who is being pursued by an evil man who will stop at nothing to get her. Rhea is no ordinary girl. From the beginning of her adventure with Roy the mysterious Rhea demonstrates surprising supernatural gifts that defy explanation. Eventually Roy finds out the shocking truth, though it seems unbelievable: Rhea is a unicorn, one of the last of a magical race of creatures who have assumed human form in an effort to survive unmolested throughout the centuries. Of course the villain, Mr. Vincent Scythe, knows Rhea’s true nature and is determined to exploit her for his own dark purposes. Roy must protect Rhea from Scythe’s powerful agents, which include mercenary gunmen, zombies, warlocks, and other evil spirits. The chase is on and time is running out. Can Roy save the unicorn before evil or his own destiny overtakes him?

Pervert is beautiful. It’s a love letter to the era of good old-fashioned sleazy entertainment. I can’t begin to imagine the hours of Russ Meyer footage writer Mike Davis and director Jonathan Yudis must have watched to create this perfect of a homage. It’s got boobs, white trash, sex, voodoo, naked chicks, gore, and detached penises(or is it penii?). Meyer fans will definitely not be disappointed. Porn star and ex-California Governor candidate, Mary Carey is a worthy successor to Kitten Natividad. Screw Grindhouse, see Pervert instead. I even made my wife watch it, well not yet, but she will goddammit.
Check out the Pervert website for more information.

Horror Hotel Con and me with the “BLACK PLAGUEâ€
By Tim Gross
This past weekend I was a small guest for a small convention called “Horror Hotel Con†in Warren, Ohio which was at the same hotel as the past Dark X-mas shows. But I’m not even going to get into all the politics between the two conventions, mostly because it is not worth the trouble. But anyway, my story doesn’t start on Friday evening as most peoples’ reviews of a convention would, mine starts Thursday night after leaving the ‘after party’ for the “The Redsin Tower†showing in Pittsburgh! I didn’t eat much that day just because I haven’t up to par most of the week with a mysterious illness that just “plagued†me all week! Well, it came to a head early Friday morning about 3am when I began puking and having a fever at one 15 minute period and chills so bad at another 15 minute period I had four heavy blankets wrapped around me like a mummy and still felt like I was ‘naked in Alaska during winter’! With maybe three or hours sleep after moaning and bitching I noticed it was almost 1 pm and time to shower to make my trek to Warren! Well, I felt ok when I got there, set up, talked to a few horror fans, and even met Dee Wallace Stone and Adrienne Barbeau (which for their age they are some pieces of ass! Plain and simple they are MILFs.) Well, after they claimed 75 people came through the door and I was packing it in for the night and getting ready for dinner, I felt the “black plague†coming back. Chills and all I went to a pizza place where I got to sit and eat with most of the cast of 1978’s Dawn of the Dead and NOTLD’s Bill Hinsman! Talk about bitter sweet! But once I finished and stopped becoming fanboy, I raced to my hotel room and tried my hardest drug wise to get rid of the “black plagueâ€! With not getting much sleep again and a temperature that border 104 degrees (not lying), I got myself together and went down to the convention and put on a smile. Not many people showed again, but it wasn’t a total loss as I gave copies my book to Dee and Adrienne and PR’d the hell out of “Bastards of Horrorâ€! With not much sleep and still not exactly over the black plague†I had to make a trip back to Pittsburgh for family reasons but was able to get some sleep and Sunday I felt possibly better for the first time in 8 days and seem to have kicked the “black plague†but to no avail I think maybe 4 people came through the door for the convention. But I cannot complain about this small convention as there was not many people there all weekend, the ones that did come, came to spend money and talk horror movies which met some of the coolest fans I have come across yet? But besides Dee making me blush and Adrienne just being kick ass I met Tom Tully who if the name doesn’t ring a bell wrote the story/script for the cult film “Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh†and shared some great stories with me about the film insured him there is fans like myself out there! With the illness and lack of people the experience was still an enjoyable one as it closes the first official convention year for myself, Bastards of Horror, and my book “Gross Movie Reviews Volume One†and we look forward to next year as we have some possible different conventions that Bastards of Horror will be going to. Next year I can tell you this it is very possible BOH will no longer just be a Pa and Ohio thing we will see you the horror fans in other states, so stay tuned, and until them from Charlie Fleming, Roger Beckett, and myself Tim Gross, THANK YOU!

The Redsin Tower
By Tim Gross
“The Redsin Towerâ€, the latest film from Toe Tag Pictures and Fred Vogel mostly known for their snuff-like films called, “August Underground†and “Mordum†is finally finished. The trailer that is up on their website eluded that this was a different film from what they did in the past, so it got me interested to see what this film was like. So, last Thursday night as a last minute thing I decided to take in the first big screen showing of the film at the ‘South Side Works Theater’ in Pittsburgh. Well folks, I was very impressed. Not only did Fred Vogel and friends make up for the August Underground films which in my opinion are complete utter crap, but they possibly made a very cool, slick modern day Fulci film with a dash of Argento! People who know me and my reviews know I make no bones about it when I talk about horror films and their filmmakers and I also let Fred Vogel know about it also Thursday night! I kid you not horror fans the film is very impressive, so impressive that the legendary make-up master Tom Savini who was in attendance was taken back by how clear, crisp, and beautiful the film was! The film begins with a high school girl and guy breaking up after a very long relationship. While the girl has help from her goth girlfriend to find a party and meet some new guys, her ex (Mitch Bitch) slowly goes insane and more hell-bent on getting her back as he finds out she is going to a party. But with the party mysteriously crashed by police (aka Mitch Bitch), the girls and a few guys decide it is time to go party at the “The Redsin Towerâ€! The story takes awhile to develop and get the central characters to “The Redsin Towerâ€, which is a local legend in the film, but the final 20 minutes is well worth the wait for gore, demon possession, and over the top but excellent make-up effects that has not been seen in an independent film in the past decade! The film was shot on DV and possibly one of the best I have seen yet? The sound effects were wonderful but possibly what might have stolen the show more than the make-up and sound was the sets that were built for the film. The sets were so well done you thought you were inside a real haunted castle at all times! This latest horror picture from Toe Tag Pictures has everything you could want in a horror film and more. The only thing that I can even find worth complaining about in this near perfect film was maybe how long it took to get the central characters to the castle but otherwise I can not see why Fulci and Argento fans would not except this film as a modern day horror film that has the same feel as a Fulci and Argento film! I give this film 3 ½ stars!

Written by creator/movie director Brett Kelly, the comic book is a different approach to the 19th century, child-murderer than the one taken in the movies. “In the movies, we are limited by what we can do with the grue by money or the lack thereof,†Kelly explains. “In the comic book, the sky is the limit.”
The comic, available now for pre-order from Brettkelly.net and available for order in November at ComiXpress.com, boasts artwork from Christopher Herndon (Living with Zombies) and newcomer Chris Prunckle with a cover from Nick Bradshaw (artist for the Army of Darkness comic book).
