Good (really good) Horror Movies…
Now for those that know me, that would garnish some amount of heckling just because I have a tendency to watch bad movies, of which I am 100% honest about and will be the first to admit. So this weekend my wife went out of town with her mom (to Palm Springs) to have a little *mothers day* celebration. So as most who know me this means I get to watch all the bad horror movies that I want ;) (well at least marathon them, she usually doesn’t mind if I watch them.) Now I did happen upon some mediocre ones, that were entertaining but nothing to write a blog post about, but there were two that I came across that blew me out of the water so I will post about them:
The first movie that I was amazed by is a film called “The Deaths of Ian Stone”, now for some this would be just run of the mill nothing special (as most would say about most of the movies I’ll blog about) but the main character played by Mike Vogel was awesome. For some reason he just came off as believable in this situation, though at some parts seemed a little contrived his potrayal of Ian Stone was awesome (and all the anger and angst that went with that). I don’t want to post too much about the movie other than it’s a little independent horror film that is part of the 2nd Horrorfest 8 Films to Die for festival. I would highly recommend any horror fan check out this movie (as there is a bit of gore those not privy to that probably wouldn’t like it too much).
The second movie that I saw that amused me greatly with the tag line “The Violence of the Lambs” was Black Sheep, this is a little sleeper from New Zealand that was just gory, funny and a blast a minute (there is so much wrong with this movie, but it’s so much fun to watch). It’s about genetic engineering of sheep and the consequences thereof, of which you can probably guess the results. If you like campy, gory, comedic horror movies that are just way over the top, then see this one.
The last movie is another of the 8 Films to Die For series and I was completely floored by this one, it’s called Mulberry Street . I will say that I was absolutely amazed by this film and this comment from imdb.com pretty much sums it up… Watch this movie it is the awesome, one of the best movies I have seen in years…Mucho props go out to all that starred in it but especially Nick Damici, who wrote and starred.
