Bad Meat could have been delicious, but it was undercooked
Weird thing about Bad Meat. It’s pretty much the same movie as Condemned (my blog here), only it takes place at a camp for delinquents instead of in a derelict apartment building. For a sleazy gross out flick, it also … Continue reading

IT HAPPENED AFTER SCREAM Part 5: spoiled brats vs. psycho killer whodunits
Here are a handful of films that helped usher in the post-Scream era of slashers in which the main characters are so obnoxious and self-centered you don’t care if they all die—or who is killing them! So essentially, it’s a … Continue reading
1989 Troma children zombies vs. 1998 Troma ass crack zombies
One thing is for sure—it’s never dull writing about Troma films. Here we have cannibal kids from the end of the 80s, and cannibal crack from the end of the 90s, and they are two very different experiences. BEWARE – … Continue reading

Seasons of Loons: Rent gets [REC]ed in Condemned
The derelict apartment building in Condemned didn’t even need an infection to spread for it to be batshit crazy. In fact, a good chunk of the film focuses on the tenants of this place, who are fucked up before the … Continue reading
Dude Bro Party Massacre III – no girls allowed…except Mother Face!
Note that if you are going to watch Dude Bro Party Massacre III on Blu-ray and would rather not have that 80s shot-on-video grindhouse look (the movie is presented as having been a lost film), go to the special features … Continue reading
“BRAINS!” or, zombies that think with their dicks – The Taint
Sure, The Taint is a totally tasteless gore flick, but if you miss the days when Troma movies were more than just fart noises and shit visuals (back in the 80s) and actually stuck to a horror theme while still … Continue reading

The House of Adam – I plan to someday be a much scarier gay ghost than him….
I get that The House of Adam is a low budget gay indie, so I didn’t expect any master film-making or amazing special effects, and I’m even okay with the awkward acting. The problem is the inept effort to cram … Continue reading
2008 – 2011 and still going for that 80s slasher feel!
Will filmmakers’ attempts to recreate the vibe of 80s horror films ever be replaced by—I don’t know—homages to Asian horror of the 2000s or imitations of mainstream ghost films of the 2000-teens? We’ll just have to wait and see. Until … Continue reading

STREAM QUEEN 12: are they worth the bandwidth?
I had high low-expectations for these three, but it turns out even that was too much for them to live up to…. THE LAST SHOWING (2014) I guess you could say The Last Showing is a psychological thriller more than … Continue reading

Stream Queen 11: Not your typical masked killer slashers
Each of these three psycho killer flicks—horror comedy, cabin in the woods slasher, and found footage—cover various styles and subgenres. And have notable moments, but none of them fully won me over. Here’s the good and the bad of each. … Continue reading
