THE DEADLY SPAWN

Hey Muther Fuckers, Lets Eat

Low budget film making can be a hit or miss affair.  This low budget 80s horror movie is a fucking hit.  A meteor crashes to earth and unleashes "the deadly spawn". An unrelenting eating machine.  It eats and grows, eats and grows. Kinda like Kirsty Alley, only an alien.  Im pretty sure this would look better in a bikini.  Im willing to put a tenner on it. Anyway after killing a couple of campers, it decides to move into someones basement and keep eating. I was really impressed with this movie.  I fucking love it in fact.  The acting isnt the best, but beats most low budget movies that are made today.  You wouldnt have seen many of the "actors" in a movie before. But who gives a shit. They work well together, and the main 3 characters have a great chemistry together.  Now for the main star of the movie, Mr Deadly Spawn.  The monster effects are awesome.  You see plenty of it, and you cant wait to see it again.  The gore effects are cool as shit.  Theres some awesome humour along the way.  Some of it may be unintentional and some intended.  The scene where the uncle psychiatrist interviews the little kid made me laugh out loud.  The scene where the spawn attack the party of grannies is fucking awesome too. I cant really say anything bad about it.  I really liked it.

As the wife of a man who loves "stink turd" classics, i am very use to being bored not gored! But this film was pleasantly entertaining and suspenseful at times. It seemed to incorporate all the necessary elements you need to make a B.grade 80's horror become a classic staple in your horror collection.The hero of this film was not a Lycra wearing super human but a the youngest, misunderstood member of the family. Tugging at my heart strings. This young lad lives and breathes horror, so when faced in the dark basement with the deadly spawn,this kids knows fight not flight! The scene i love the most comes right at the end. A twist i just cannot come to let out. You have to watch it to for yourself! But what i will say is it includes a miniature model house and plenty of plasticine.

FOREVER EVIL

Wow i cant believe what i have just seen. Actually im not sure if i can make sense of what just happened. A 1987 low low budget horror movie that throws just about everything it can into the film and i was left completely stunned.  And not in a good way.  It starts with just about the worst credit sequence i have ever seen.  It doesnt suit the movie at all, and I could tell i was in for a real treat! The movie starts with a bunch of classically trained thespians giving oscar worthy performances.  Yes the acting is terrible, but as i will keep mentioning adds a bit of charm and a hell of a lot of humour.  The dubbing of the actors, is so badly matched up, especially during the opening scenes, that the laughs just keep on coming. The start i guess is a homage to evil dead though not a very good one.  Watch in horror as a twig rips someone through a window.  Im not joking its a twig. After the thrilling opening sequence, you have to sit through a lot of dialogue and a lot of the rest of the movie doesnt make a whole lot of sense.  As i said before theres a hell of a lot of things in the movie, a zombie, death himself, a devil dog, the necronomicon, boobs, blood and a whole lot of smoking.  A couple of my favourite parts of this movie.  The first involves a what the fuck moment.  The two main actors after trying to formulate a plan to take down the evil force, decide that a trip to the movies may just be the inspiration they need.  I found out later its the directors other film being shown. It still makes no sense.  The other is one of the characters wearing a college jumper.  Yes that doesnt sound anything out of the ordinary.  Except this one isnt for a specific college, it has the word college in iron on letters on the front. If you like low budget horror or are an 80s horror completist then you gotta see it.  I dont hate the movie, it is a bad movie.  But theres enough unintentional laughs along the way and just enough to keep you interested. After watching the film with commentary on, Director Roger Evans has a good sense of humour about the film. He realises its a bit of a turkey, and doesnt try to pretend its a historic piece of film making.  That made me like this film a little more.  The commentary is definately worth watching!

CHAW

Jaws! I mean CHAW!!
I love Jaws.  Its one of my favourite movies of all time.  And i love checking out the massive amounts of jaws clones that constantly get released.  This one has a giant boar instead of a giant shark.  Much like the classic Australian film Razorback.  Chaw however follows the story of jaws a hell of a lot closer. So close in fact we get a scene where a boar is captured, hung up for photographers, is then cut open by a hunter and policeman to prove its not the right boar.  Sound familiar? But i dont see this as a bad thing at all. I like the fact that its played out as a comedy, rather then trying to take itself too seriously. There are lots of oddball funny characters in this one.  And there is quite a bit of character development, without it ever getting boring. There are so many funny scenes without the boar that i cant mention them all but the classic old man warning about the boar is probably one of my favourites. The cg effects of the boar are fairly bad, but for me it adds a bit of unintentional humour that makes me love the movie even more. The boar seems to change in size quite a bit between scenes, more unintentional humour. If you like JAWS i dont see how you couldnt like CHAW.  If you dont like either film, your clearly a moron.  A giant monster movie that has everything laughter, crazy witch ladies, idiotic police, and a massive killer boar.  Do it!!!

Half man, half shark, full stink turd

Jeffrey Combs plays a mad scientist bent on revenge and curing cancer.  The answer to all his problems.  Fusing the dna from a man and a shark.  To create Sharkman. With a lot of these giant monster movies, there is a fuckload of boring dialogue, at least this time its not a military experiment.  But that doesnt mean theres not long periods of no sharkman and too much talking.  Another major problem i have is the Sharkman.  It can walk on land being half man.  But we never get to see it properly.  Theres a lot of quick cuts, the most we get is a torso shot.  Seriously use more of the fucking budget to build a decent Sharkman, instead of using it for the 500 explosions during the movie.I wanted to know, i was dying to know, if the sharkman wore pants.  William Forsythe, who i think rules, is great in this.  But he doesnt have much to work with.  Some of the other actors, suck some serious balls. Combs is good as per usual, as a horror fan you cant knock him. The chick from bold and the beautiful or some shit soapie is also in the movie.  She has had a lot of plastic surgery. Unfortunately you cant add acting skills through plastic surgery. Theres a couple of ok gore effects though they are few and far between, we mostly get a lot of the old throw fake blood in water and make a lot of splashes trick. Theres not really any reason you should watch this film.  And if you dont believe me.  I hope you suffer.

Drink of choice
Elephant beer. 7.2 %.  Your gonna need at least 8 of these little babies to make this movie even remotely interesting.  And make sure you have those 8 before the movie has even started.

House of the dead drinking game rules
1. Everytime you see the sharkman
2. Whenever something explodes
3. Anytime William Forsythe shoots a gun
4. Whenever someone dies
5. Everytime Jeffrey Combs acts batshit insane
