Gross Movie Reviews #130

Gross Movie Reviews #130

By Tim Gross

“I’ll see you at Horrorhound Weekend in Pittsburgh!”

I Know Who Killed Me (DVD) – The real question should be, “Do we care?” I stayed away from this just because it starred former Disney teen idol ‘Lindsay Lohan’. Unless she is going into porn I care less, but I figured she suppose to be a stripper in this film and figured I’d give it a chance. Shit! If it looks like shit, if she acts like shit, and the script is shit, it must be a big steamy pile of donkey shit! Fuck, I haven’t seen such a horrible movie since the remake of “The House on Haunted Hill”. Hell, it was so bad when she goes for her big sex scene they even made sure you couldn’t see the essentials… WTF? But anyhow, if suicide seems not cruel enough, watch this crap as I give it 0 stars.

Slashing Prices (DVD-R) – Rick and the DSK crew are back with a film that goes back to the basics. The real basics of a slasher film where the killer couldn’t afford a mask so he wears a plastic bag to protect his identity. After a customer is burned by acid in a CD/movie store run by aging semi-rock star John Legionare, customers begin to disappear one by one without the two retards who work there ever noticing as they are worried about watching ‘two girls, one cup’ on you tube! The movie seems a little slow through the first twenty minutes but the jokes and the murders start to fly after that. Filled with lots of blood and the usual fun you expect from Rick and the DSK crew which the biggest highlight of the film is ‘Ace’ playing the John Legionare character and he is so obsessed with the disc buffer machine that he begins to use it on his penis and gets caught doing it, and continues to keep going! Funny shit people! The great thing about this DVD is the FX extra that takes you into the world of DSK and what it took to get the effects to look the way they looked on film. The movie might have had no budget or less but a lot of inventive and smart thinking went into what they wanted for the film. This segment is something a lot of independent filmmakers and movie fans out there should take note as this is one of the best extras on a DVD I ever seen! I give the DVD 2 ½ stars and can be found at www.dsk-productions.com .

Student Bodies (DVD) – A horror film first released in 1981 and was never seen again except through video trading in the 80s and bootlegs has finally seen DVD. It is a fun horror/comedy that spoofs pretty much every slasher film in the past two years before it. A slasher film that all horror fans need to buy and watch but not for the mainstream “Scary Movie” crowd in opinion. I give the classic 3 stars.

Prom Night (DVD/remake) – A remake of a so-so slasher film that starred Jamie Lee Curtis that stars no one this time around and pretty much plays out in the first ten minutes and you hate yourself for watching it. Be warned, it sucks worse than being forced to watch 12 hours straight of “Gilmore Girls”! I give it 0 stars.

Prey of the Jaguar (DVD) – The film stars Stacy Keach and Linda Blair and that’s where anything good about the movie ends. The movie is about a man whose family is killed by drug dealers and he becomes a generic superhero to get revenge on them in a plot that sucks large gorilla nuts! I give it a ½ star and can be found at www.echobridgehe.com .

Conspiracy of Fear (DVD) – A government scientist is murdered by an assassin who is believed to have information on an Anti-virus and his son becomes involved when it isn’t found. Before the son is killed by the same assassin he is saved by a pretty girl who happens to be a car thief and becomes involved when the police find out the CIA is involved looking for the son. The movie plays out like sub-par love story/thriller but worth the rental fee if there is nothing else on the new release shelf that day. I give the DVD 2 stars and can be found at www.echobridgehe.com .
