Gross Movie Reviews #132
By Tim Gross
Welcome to another rounded mess that I have written… As the heat is becoming a bitch this summer it is just a reminder that you need to rent some cool cheesy flicks!
The Dead Hate the Living! (VHS) – A low budget zombie film from Dave Parker who seems to be hated by some horror film fans for making this “Full Moon” trash in 1999. Love it… Hate it… It was something different at the time it came out as two best friends who grew up watching Fulci and Romero films set out to make the ultimate no budget zombie film in abandon asylum where of course they broke into. After finding a mysterious video of a man claiming to be a scientist getting attacked by some monster and finding his corpse in the basement in a strange coffin, the two friends kick it up a little with using a real dead guy for their horror film. Next thing you know they open the gate to hell and references to “The Beyond” among other Fulci classics are thrown out there with every other line of dialogue. Personally, I enjoyed the film except for its very shitty CGI ending as it pays homage somewhat or in some weird way to the “The Beyond”. Lots of blood, lots of hot girls, low budget film from “Full Moon Pictures”, I give it 3 stars and a must rent even if you hate it. Also available on DVD… for you non-VHS fans.
The X-Files: Season Three (DVD) – This season of the popular cult TV series made it go from cult status to mainstream as everybody was wondering if there was really aliens out there on Friday nights! This season of “The X-Files” went in so many directions but went much deeper into the alien/government conspiracy more than any other season and expanded the mythology of what’s truly out there with even going as far as making fun of itself to having a serious episode with Peter Boyle as a life insurance salesman who can tell you how you will die and when. The usual suspects: Smoking Man, The Lone Gunmen, X, the alien bounty hunter played by horror genre favorite Brian Thompson all make their presence known. Along for the ride was even Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura and Alex Trebeck make an appearance as the “men in black”. The season opens with a “to be continued…” episode and ends with one leaving you asking the main question “where exactly did the black oil come from?” Some fans argue this was the best season of episodes out of the series, I tend to agree to disagree but a very entertaining box set for any kind of fan of the show as I give it 3 ½ stars.
The Cars That Ate Paris (VHS) – A fucked up, independent, oddball sort of film from Peter Weir in the mid-70s where young men in wrecked cars run people off the road who come near the small town of Paris. Very odd, but worth watching just for the few bloody as hell car accidents. I give it 2 stars.
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (Theater) – The comic book hero mostly known as “RED” is back and fights elementals, ogres, and the ancients for the fate of earth. The film is above and beyond visually stunning and beautiful but fails to be better or worse for that matter than the first film. The film is very entertaining, expands the story of Hellboy and its characters but plays out more like a warm up film to something greater on the horizon in the series. But shit, Hellboy is a very interesting character and still has lots of stories to be told as I will be looking forward to them as I give it 3 stars.
Dolly Dearest (VHS) – Who would have guessed? A killer doll movie where the doll just happens to be possessed by an ancient devil baby! Not original by any means but a very enjoyable shitty horror movie that is worth another look by you “Child’s Play” fans? If that doesn’t make you want to watch it, how about Rip ‘fuckin’ Torn as one of the heroes of the shitty film… I fucking love shit like this as I give it 2 ½ stars.
Ghouls (DVD/Sci-Fi Channel) – A war between ghouls and druids are taking place… Wait! The movie sucks donkey shit! The hot girl in it doesn’t even show cleavage for the love of god! The only fucking real redeeming thing of the film is when the ghouls become solid form and they look kick ass. Other than that, trash it and move on! I give the movie ½ star.
Gingerdead Man 2: The Passion of the Crust (DVD) – Ok, the movie opens up on a cheesy movie set where an evil doll named “shit-for-brains” and others are brought to life by Satan to kill a fat, middle-aged, virgin! Buy it! Anyhow, the sultry and beautiful Michelle Bauer brings in her baked goods into Cheatum Studios back lot where they are filming ‘Tiny Terrors 9’. And yes, the Gingerdead man is alive and well with no back-story on his return and hanging out in the baked good box waiting for a chance to rein his terror on unsuspecting actors, directors, and make-up men all for a chance to be human again. The movie makes fun of Full Moon films, the fans, and the genre period in all good classic B-movie fun. This film is so bad it’s great! The movie is packed with sub-par filmmaking, great gore shots, and appearances by John Carl Buechler, Greg (KNB) Nicotero, Greg’s brother Frank, a killer gingerbread cookie, and the producers are William Butler and Charles Band, what else in the world could you ask for in a “Full Moon” flick? The DVD itself does not have much in extras which is sort of unusual for a Charles Band production but it still deserves 3 ½ stars.
William Shatner’s Full Moon Fright! Presents ‘Vampire Journals’ (DVD) – Who gives a blue fuck if you seen the movie and hated it or already own like I do? This DVD is an experience in itself as this was part of an experiment for the Sci-fi Channel a few years back on Saturday nights at 11pm where they had William Shatner host “Full Moon” films on his own show where he not only did skits in between commercials but interviewed some cool people after the flick was done. It was like a modern day “Monstervision” but with the whacked out William Shatner! All you have to do is push play and watch it all the through and you get the whole experience as people should buy this DVD and have parties watching it as it is an experience that all horror fans need to witness. It’s cheesy, its bad, it makes no sense, but its fun as hell to watch a great train wreck as I give this great DVD that has an interview with Stan Lee 4 stars.
