Gruesome Twosome Day 11: Dementia 13

Who wouldn't want the Dementia 13 lunchbox?

Who wouldn't want the Dementia 13 lunchbox?

I’m afraid that ThatWeirdGirl’s review of Dementia 13 (quite a good film, I think) will have to suffice for today. 

I’m suffering from a wicked hangover.  A side effect of being slightly too awesome the day before.  Ugh.

Gruesome Twosome Day 10: The House of the Devil

See!  This is where dancing around to The Fixx will get you!

See! This is where dancing around to The Fixx will get you!

You want to make an original, brand new horror film.  So, how do you go about it?  Well, if you’re Ti West, maker of 2009s  The House of the Devil, you make it look exactly like any number of old horror films from the early 1980s, because that shit WORKS. (more…)

Ray Milland sees what you do in the shower, and he's not impressed.

Ray Milland sees what you do in the shower, and he's not impressed.

What dangers hath science wrought?  Well, according to the Roger Corman classic sci-fi horror film X:  The Man With the X-ray Eyes, the answer is none.  But, what if you could suddenly see them?  That’s the real question, isn’t it? (more…)

Gruesome Twosome Day 6: Splinter

Aww...that's cute.  It's like she hasn't seen a horror/monster movie before.  You never know until you try!

Let’s face it.  I’ve watched a lot of horror films.  That being said, it’s easy to get disinterested in the genre.  Then along comes a movie you’ve never heard of and changes everything.  For me, just recently, that movie was the awesome monster flick Splinter. (more…)

Reboot!

Wed ,06/10/2010

gt1We (ThatWeirdGirl and myself) have decided to carry on with the horror film reviews, even though we lost our partner Chris.  Here’s hoping we can work together in the very near future.  Also, the new list of films will be chosen by ThatWeirdGirl.  She also made us another graphic to go with it, that I think is just nifty.  So, starting again today, we will continue to film reviews.  Sorry we missed a day.  Then again, there have been several times in my life that I’ve missed a day of something.  School, work, prison…you name it.

Due To Circumstances Beyond Our Control…

We’re sorry to announce that it appears we will not be able to continue the Trilogy of Terror.  These things happen from time to time.  Therefore, just consider this day a bye and accept our apologies for not getting a review done today.  ThatWeirdGirl and I will begin new reviews tomorrow, with a new list composed of films chosen by ThatWeirdGirl.  FUN!

For now, though…courage.

Trilogy of Terror Day Four: From Dusk Till Dawn

If the price for this table dance WAS death...I'd still pay it.  DAMN YOU SATANICO!!!

Oh, there’s going to be problems in my future, I think, over this review of From Dusk Till Dawn.  Why?  Well, while I admit to thinking that this was a fun movie when I was a younger man.  Now, however, the shine is off the apple.  And, opinions on this movie tend to run hot. (more…)

Trilogy of Terror Day Three: The Evil Dead

I'll join you in the fruit cellar, Cheryl!  I promise!

I'll join you in the fruit cellar, Cheryl! I promise!

One of these days, we’ll get to a movie that I haven’t reviewed before, but it won’t be today.  The Evil Dead is a brilliant, disgusting gem of a film, shot with love, ingenuity, on the cheap, and definitely on the fly. (more…)

A Brief Message to Let Me In

Sat ,02/10/2010

Yeah...When you invite a vampire into your home, you have to speak clearly.Dear Let Me In,

I’m going to see you later today, and I just wanted to impart a small word of warning.  DO…NOT…SUCK.  Well, not suck in…I mean, sure you’re a vampire movie…YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!  I just rewatched your predecessor last night, and I agree with one of the blurbs on the back of the DVD case.  It has become one of those iconographic horror films that everyone must see.  The shoes you are trying to step in are gigantic.  Like, clownshoe gigantic without all the pies in the face or seltzer bottles.  Don’t be like M. Night, who garnered my first word of warning on this site, and now has a permanent black mark for me.  Don’t ruin Chloe Moretz for me, either, got it!   That is all.

Sincerely,

ManWithPez

Trilogy of Terror Day Two: Halloween

If someone had just given the little shit a hug, all this could have been avoided.

If someone had just given the little shit a hug, all this could have been avoided.

I’ve previously reviewed this movie last year, but it’s such a good movie, there’s no reason not to take another brief crack at it.  Halloween was, by design, it seems, never supposed to be franchise spinning juggernaut, but that’s just what it’s become.  (more…)
