Gross Movie Reviews #283
By Tim Gross
Paranorman (DVD) – A perfect stop motion feature about an 11 year old kid named Norman who just happens to talk his dead grandmother… and everyone and everything else that has died. Apparently Norman has this power to see the dead and because of it he does not have any living friends. But soon Norman’s power is needed to help his small town from being destroyed by a 300 year old legend of a young witch wrongly accused by adults who didn’t understand. Norman’s crazy uncle after death tries to explain to Norman he is the key, but to Norman he just wants to be left alone. This movie is just freaking awesome as it is a kids movie but has enough adult horror movie themes that will make all horror movie fans happy! I believe this film has the charm of The Monster Squad and will be considered a classic by most people. I give the stop motion film 4 stars.
Alienator (VHS) – Fred Olen Ray made a 1989 sci-fi film that stars Jan-Michael Vincent, P.J. Soles, Joe Pilato, and Robert Clarke… And if that wasn’t enough it’s about a muscle bound woman cyborg that comes to earth capture the prisoner that has escaped a prison planet light years away. It’s very bad but so god at the same time! I give it 2 ½ stars for just the mere star power of the film.
Life Blood (DVD) – A vampire film that starts with a great premise of a lesbian couple given immortal vampirism by God in 1969, if they use their powers for good. Sounds like fun until you watch this horribly executed film that wastes performances from the likes of Charles Napier, the oddly attractive Scout Taylor-Compton, and that fat redhead kid from The Sandlot. Do me a favor and just pass this title up if you come across it as your life will be better for it. I give it a ½ star.
Biohazard (VHS) – One of the early films of Fred Olen Ray and perhaps one of the hardest to find out there in the movie market these days is fun no budget rip-off of Alien with Fred’s kid as the rubber suited alien! It’s not great by any means but you can see Fred Olen Ray using this film as a stepping stone to make up the future structure of Fred Olen Ray movies and what mistakes not to make in future projects. If you are a fan of Mr. Olen Ray’s and/or a horror nerd, it is worth tracking down. I give it 1 ½ stars.
Peeping Tom (DVD) – A somewhat overlooked 1960 classic that I finally had the chance to witness and was always interested in the film since Joe Bob Briggs refers to this film a lot through his books. Mark Lewis is a quiet type of guy who loves film and likes living alone constantly running his projector at night. But Mark’s love or obsession is taken one step further when he decides to only film women but kill them so he is able to watch the sheer terror on their faces over and over. Mark uses his camera as an extension of himself. Soon Mark becomes confused with the young lady downstairs who has shown an interest in him and Mark wants to change. A solid film that I now understand why Joe Bob Briggs talks about a lot and has a great ending for a classic horror flick, I give the film 3 ½ stars.
The Scare Game (VHS) – Eric Stanze’s first independent film that he written and directed in 1992. Six friends are pulled into a Dungeons and Dragons type of game that the only goal is to survive. Every few years a group of humans are challenged by the demon. But one by one the demon that brought the game to them is killing them. A very rough film but has its moments of gore and fun and if anything Mr. Stanze I believe learned a lot from making this shot on video movie for future projects. I give the film 2 stars. If interested it also has some cool behind the scenes stuff and trailers of a young filmmaker in the making.
Hotel Transylvania (DVD) – A cool animated feature that begins in 1895 when Dracula is taking care of his baby girl and has a dream of a safe place being built where humans would never bother his baby girl. A few years later Hotel Transylvania is born. Now, present day, Dracula’s little girl is all grown up at the ripe age of 118 years old and she wants to see the world but her father will not allow it because he is afraid what the humans might do to her? The film has all the classic monsters: the Mummy, Frankenstein, Invisible Man, Bigfoot, the Gillman, etc. And everything Dracula has built over the years for all monsters is threaten when a human boy comes mountain climbing to the castle and Dracula is forced to try and hide him from the other monsters. A great feature for the kids and it is still fun for the adults. I may prefer Paranorman but this film is needed to be shared with other horror movie fans as I give it 3 ½ stars.
Half Past Midnight (DVD-R) – A rare short horror film from a one-time filmmaker Wim Vink about a high school girl being bullied and abused decides to go on a vengeful killing spree of her classmates. Nothing beats a teenage girl killing people with an electric chainsaw that she plugs into her little utility belt! I give it 2 stars.
X-Men: First Class (DVD) – The fifth film in the successful X-men live action series decides to tell the story of how Magneto and Professor X came to be and how they started the X-men. The film mostly centers on Xavier and Erik a lot more than the other films but it also shows how original characters Beast/Hank McCoy and Raven/Mystique came to be and why they made the choices that have made them what they are in the films made before this prequel. For comic book fans it introduces the Hellfire Club and some of the faces and names of important people in future stories of the X-men. The movie for me was surprising great and declares after five films the X-men series is just getting started. For me personally the only disappointment may have been Emma Frost who seemed plain where she is more busty and outgoing in the comics and cartoons. And I still say I enjoy Kelsey Grammer as Beast. I give the film 3 ½ stars.

Gross Movie Reviews #282
By Tim Gross
Abominable Snowman (SyFy Channel/DVD) – Adrian Paul stars as a helicopter pilot who takes an old friend’s son up a snowy mountain for him to search for answers about his father or just kill the CGI gray bear they call the Abominable Snowman. Either or, you know what you are in for the next 85 minutes or so. People getting their asses handed to them in this terrible film starring shitty snow beasts. But in my opinion we need more Sasquatch films… starring Lance Henriksen. I give it 1 star.
Descendents (DVD) – So I sat down and finally watched this foreign zombie film from Chile that apparently was originally titled Solos before it got its release here in America. And I wasn’t impressed and felt like I should start drilling holes into my head Hebert West style for attempting to watch this zombie flick about an airborne virus that has affected everyone except a few children that seem immune to the virus. The story follows a nine year old who is trying to make it to the ocean because her mother told her she’ll be safe there and a big crayon drawn octopus will come out of the ocean and piss me off for watching this shit! I give the film 0 stars.
The Puppet Monster Massacre (DVD) – A wonderfully funny and beautiful horror film starring puppets that will have you screaming for more. Some kids are invited to spend the night in the Wagner mansion to hopefully win a million dollars. In fun old school horror genre fashion you have the girl, the nerd, the nervous kid, and the bad ass couple who have sex in the graveyard… But soon they learn they are being eaten by a horrible creature that just happens to be the creation of an evil doctor who is trying to complete his work he did in WWII. And the evil doctor known as Wagner wants revenge of course too which why he invited the teenagers. The horrible creature grows with each meal until he is fighting an army of US soldiers outside of the mansion. At this point this is where the film breaks into complete fun bloody chaos in the last ten minutes. Dustin Mills who wrote and directed the film should be congratulated in giving us the second greatest puppet horror movie, “Meet the Feebles” being the first of course. I give this flick 4 stars.
Vampire (VHS) – An old school vampire flick that stars Richard Lynch as the evil blood sucker who just happens to be brought back to life when a ground breaking ceremony for a new church disturbs the area Richard Lynch was buried at. E.G. Marshall plays a former police detective who is curious of the ground breaking site because of what happen there 40 years ago to his partner. A few weeks pass and Richard Lynch comes to a party to discuss some business matters with Jason (The Exorcist) Miller to discuss of the lost paintings that world hasn’t seen in centuries that just so happens to be near the ground breaking. Soon after Miller’s wife is killed by the evil vampire, Miller and E.G. Marshall set out to destroy Lynch. A classic vampire film where holy water, crosses, and daylight still affect the vampire, but also the evil vampire is played by the legendary Richard Lynch who plays it perfect. I give the film 3 stars.
Blood Creek (DVD) – A German road scholar contacts German immigrants here in the US in the late 30s to ask their consent to come live with them. The German farmers were not sure what they were about to sign on for once he came and began to read through some old books about the occult. Flash forward 70 years later and a paramedic is taking care of his crippled father and his missing war hero brother’s kids. After taking the kids trick or treating, sleeping during a horrible rain storm the paramedic’s missing brother played by Dominic Purcell wakes him and tells him he needs to help him get revenge. Purcell’s character is giving full disclosure to his brother but his brother follows him anyway to figure out what the hell is going on. Purcell’s character hell bent on killing the family that kept him captive figures out during his rage something else was going on and he was only a small part of it. The German farmers have had a secret for the past 70 years: a) they don’t age and b) They locked the road scholar in the basement as he is pure evil and needs blood to live. So the farmers have kidnapped people over the years to keep the creature, thing, road scholar in the basement. But now he is loose and wants to complete his process of becoming an unstoppable Nazi demon. The only set back of the film is it takes quite a while to develop but once it gets going this horror flick is just fucking bad ass on all levels! This overlooked horror flick is well worth the buy folks as I give it 3 ½ stars. For the love of god people there is a scene where an undead horse breaks through a window and starts chomping on this dude’s shoulder like it were rump roast!
Death Moon (VHS) – A beyond horrible 1978 werewolf film that happens to take place in Hawaii of all places. But anyway this stressed out dude is told he needs a vacation and begins having dreams of weird people dancing around like they are warding away evil spirits and wearing werewolf masks. Soon women are being shredded on a nightly basis at the hotel and the authorities are at a loss on who or what it can be. Its bad folks, it makes the Twisted Brain aka Horror High transformation done by Rick Baker! I give it a ½ star.
Spike (DVD) – A useless piece of shit so called horror film about four people who get a flat tire and drive far into the woods only to be attacked by a thing that is covered in spikes that just happens to be a dude. And did I mention he wants to bang the one girl in the buckeye and get have her live him forever. The film tries to be a horror fairy tale that fails on levels and should make the filmmaker question going into a different field than filmmaking. I give this flick nothing star wise!
Heebie Jeebies (SyFy Channel/DVD) – Five Asian dudes are left in a caved-in gold mine in the 1840s only to come back from the dead as horrible disfigured vengeance demons in 2013 when two dudes looking for gold in an abandoned mine disturbs their resting place. Soon the small southern town is being littered with murders and missing gold. Surprisingly the film has Jennifer Rubin do a cameo and the screenplay written by Trent Haaga. The film is nor good or bad but just more of a time filler which was a step up from SyFy’s last effort Abominable Snowman. I give it 2 stars.
