Movie# 19: Into Thy Hands





Plot: A metal dude, who looks as if James Hetfield was shrunk but done disproportionately, acts as Jesus, whom kills the likenesses of his former worshippers and friends i.e. Judas, Peter, Mary Magdalene etc.


Just blame it on Lars



Redeeming Qualities:

The soundtrack. So this movie plays at about quarter speed throughout its entirety along to a death/black metal soundtrack. I thought someone left a microphone in the rec room of a retirement home for smokers at one point.

Sooooo wow, there are a lot of boobs in this movie. So many that I had only a limited amount of pictures I could take. Otherwise this post would look like a Dimmu Borgir album cover. But I leave you this......

Movie#18: Cadaverella




Plot: A modern take on Cinderella but filled with revenge, gore, and a little pong.



Redeeming qualities:


The acting is very strong in this classic retelling. Actors have multiple roles and I couldn't tell that they were the same people. The lead of Cinder ( Yep, as in Cinderella) made here character likeable even though she was a bit of a kleptomaniac and uncaring person in general.

Editing. I usually point this out because this can make or break a low budget movie. In this film, the scenes are cut perfectly and keep you in the picture.

Although the gore in this film isn't as plentiful as on the other movies on this blog, it is still done well especially with the superb editing. The filmmakers didn't focus on the kills for too long.

Special Review 2: Restoration






Plot. A married couple buy an old house to fix up and live in.
Too bad the house is full of secrets, supernatural beings, teddy bears and Zack Ward. All this comes together by the end in this satisfying horror movie.









Redeeming qualities:

The acting of the four major characters was top notch. The chemistry between both couples (the new owners of  the house and their married neighbors) is noticeable from the beginning and especially during a crucial pregnancy scene.

The characters themselves are smart. The usual horror movie trope of nobody believing the protagonist is thrown out the window early on. The couple instead work together to figure out the mystery of the house.

Blood and gore effects were very efficient. I'm still trying to figure out how they got this guy's head to look like that.....


Aspirin?

Movie #17 Death Factory

The most violent burp ever




Plot:  A group of college kids wanna have a great time....... Oh look, an abandoned factory, PARTAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
Too bad an old employee of said establishment is still lurking around for it's next victim. Pretty much by the numbers slasher Horror movie with an unexpected twist. Which I am happy to say is a good idea. And this bum shows up........






Redeeming qualities:

Great lighting and sound. I never had to turn up the volume. And the dark factory was well lit in the right places and never took you out of the movie.

The gore effects were plentiful and the make-up for the factory lurker were top notch.

Tiffany Shepis was great. She played the monster and did it brilliantly. The prosthetics she wore restricted her mouth movement leading me to believe that Tiffany drooled a lot through the duration of the movie shoot. And if you don't know who Tiffany Shepis is, IMDB her and see the massive amount of credits she has accrued in the horror genre.

Characters were fleshed out well and you actually care for a few of them.





Best Kills:

A few throat chomps here or there

Ball squeeze from hell. I kinda cringed.

The Mountain versus Viper eye gouge from "Game of Thrones"

Tummy mutilation akin to a dog burying a bone

Special edition screener review: Door to Door

Auditions for a Manowar cover band got heated




Plot: A walking door to door salesman promises big changes to seven people displaying attributes related to the seven deadly sins. He offers them an unknown medication that could change their lives. Unfortunately for them, not in a good way.



Someone ate fortune cookies the wrong way




Redeeming qualities:


Editing was quite impressive considering the budget. A lot of lower budget pictures take only one angle and it tends to drag a bit.

Good use of organic lighting. Especially the scenes indoor.

Production value was great. Having access to multiple homes and different businesses helps for a wider range of where this salesman has traveled








Death Count: 7


Best kills:

Throat slash
Slit wrists
Puke of death (the salesman did say the weight would "poor out like a faucet"
