Runk’s Year in 2007 Awards
(Thanks to Russ from www.bloodtypeonline.com)

Edit: I forgot to mention Jack Ketchum’s “The Girl Next Store”. Easily one of the most well shot, well acted, scariest and gutwrenching films of the year! I didn’t want to knock any more films out of my top 10. I already posted it on my blog so I wanted it to be known that The Girl Next Door is easily a TOP 5 Movie this year!

First I want to shout out the entire Bloodtype Online staff Ed, Jared, El Juan, Pain, Rod, Jim, Jennie, Jeff, Mr Monster and Tim. Thanks for all the help in making sure we have the most online reviews each and every week.

Non horror movies I skipped out on and regret:

After Dark Horror Fest:

Did I not go because I’m lazy, was it promoted terribly, was I broke?, is it because I don’t drive or not enough word of mouth!

Vacancy, Welcome to the Jungle, Captivity and I Know Who Killed Me

Movies I recommend but people wont see because there isn’t enough buzz:

Dark Sky released a solid German Film called “Antibodies” that should satisfy those who like police procedural horror that have main villains that fuck with the lead oink!

Late 2007 films I will see:

I Am Legend and Sweeney Tood….To anxious to wait and see them I just made this list on a whim.

Biggest Disappointments
Rob Zombie’s Halloween
Disturbingly ineffective slasher that was all about intensity instead of taking any attempts to build suspense. Dirty sandles and toes just look stupid.

Saw IV- I finally found a Saw movie I didnt totally like. There was moments but it is cluttered with twists and some of the shakier camera work yet.

Chattiest Movie:

Death Proof. Enjoyable but no where near Planet Terror. I like brainless kick ass movies instead of watching chicks talk.

Movie no one talked about :

Joshua- I dont know if it was great or if it licked ass.

Got Head on Camera The Vincent Gallo Award!

Shane Ryan in Amatuer Porn Star Killer ( I dug the movie but I really admire his skills at getting head and getting the film released. 45 bucks and he got head on camera)

DVD I own and must watch soon:

Deadwood Park ( This movie is getting heavy buzz)

( I May add to this if I notice I missed something I feel is important!)

Movie Critics Either Love Or Hate or Don’t talk about it at all!

Rapturious

Most reviewed independent film

Stupid Teenagers Must Die

Movie I forgot to mention in Honorable Mention

1408

Surprised everyone liked it and I did too!

Dead and Deader

Has anyone seen P2?

I haven’t

After Dark Horror Fest:

Not Successful but I am a fucktard for not catching one of these flicks!

CGI Clusterfuck of the Year:

I Am Legend

News about Hack Movies latest film!

Posted by Tim on December 19, 2007

Thanks to www.fatally-yours.com

Hack Movies is proud to announce the official release date of their newest Feature length film, Colonel Kill Motherfuckers.

Colonel Kill concerns a group of Role playing nerds who, while attempting to rid themselves of their dork-ass ways, piss off, and through a series of crazy events, kill a homicidal ex-army veteran named Jack Scabtree. Unfortunately for them, Scabtree’s mother is heavy into the Black Arts, and soon, Jack Scabtree is risen from the dead, with but one thought on his mind: To kill those motherfucking Nerds!

Colonel Kill Marks the second feature length film from Writer/Director Kevin Strange and his Hack Movies crew, and their 3rd DVD release since 2006. Colonel Kill will be released on DVD exclusively from the group’s website: HackMovies.com on January 17th, 2008.

Hack Movies pride themselves on their promotional abilities, having risen to notoriety in the underground film scene thanks to social networking sites like Youtube and Myspace. Their brand of Saturday morning satire and offensive comedy combined with a love of the horror genre, have come together to create a unique brand of movies that they dub “Flicks from the Underground.” Hack Movies are a return to the “Midnight Movie” mentality of films such as Pink
Flamingos, El Topo, Eraserhead and Rocky Horror.

Previous releases from Hack Movies include the heavy metal themed Dream Reaper and the zombie comedy Dead Shit, staring their most popular characters, Nixon and Hogan.
