ReplyDeleteQuickie reviews of some catch-up movies.
The Funhouse Massacre.
Meh, worth one watch.
Only worth it for the d-list celebs.
Last Girl Standing.
Pee-fuckin' yoo!!
Pee!! Fuckin!! Yoo!!
Ripoff of "High Tension", and a bunch of other "victim is the real/new killer", films and shorts. Unoriginal as fuck. Boooo!!
Smothered.
Unwatchable, bailed out after 5 minutes.
Freaks Of Nature. (Formerly "Kitchen Sink")
Surprisingly really good!
Had a surprising amount of cool celebrities in it too!
Key from Key & Peele, Dennis Leary, Bob Odenkirk, & Joan Kusak.
Good effects, this wasn't a b-movie! Indie, but not cheap indie!
Really cute! Might even be worth buying!

ReplyDeleteThe Friday The 13th re-reboot is going to be a prequel about young Jason, and Pamela and Elias Voorhees.
The idea of adding Elias to the mythology has been floating around since at least Friday 7, if not 6.
He pops up in a flashback in the "Jason vs Leatherface", comics, where Pamela machetes him for abusing Jason.
That's de-canonized glorified fanfic now, so we'll see where the movie take sit.
