Tin Roof (Blu-ray) – Rising star in filmmaker Rebecca Rinehart returns to the director’s chair with her latest feature that takes place at Cedar Falls Summer Camp. The wonderful summer camp after decades of being open is about to be closed because of several accidental deaths that worries the mayor. But others who grew up going there don’t want it to close and try to come up with a solution to save the camp. The five friends who are trying to save the camp decide to go back to Cedar Falls Summer Camp so they can get digital content to get the word out about the closing. But it becomes a big problem when a terrible event occurs that causes the group to uncover a long hidden truth about the deaths. This movie felt like it never got quite going like it was missing a gear or something that makes the story pop. Saying that Rebecca is a talented filmmaker and if it makes any sense I feel she hasn’t found that right project to show off how good she is but hope she keeps trying as I give this project 2 ½ out of 4 stars.

Accion Mutante (4K/Blu-ray) – This rarely seen but much celebrated Spanish/French production from 1992 finally has gotten the restoration treatment from Severin and allows us to remove our U.S. bootlegs under the title ‘Mutant Action’ from our collections. This post-apocalyptic dark comedy cult hit is set in a future time where good looking people rule the world and a terrorist group of so-called mutants plan a kidnapping. Ramon and others of ‘Mutant Action’ kidnap the daughter of Orujo and during their getaway things do not go as planned including the daughter falling in love with Ramon. Ramon double crosses his team in order to collect the ransom but of course that doesn’t go as planned either as the best way to describe this cult film is: a crazy sci-fi film of chaos from beginning to end. This new release has all kind of goodies for fans to enjoy and highly recommend this film of Alex de la Iglesia to anyone that looks for something different to watch on a regular basis as I give it 4 stars.

Sting (DVD) – An American/Australian production about a space rock hitting earth landing in a dollhouse of an apartment. The rock hatches with a space spider emerging and being found by a young girl named Charlotte who moves through the duct work of the apartments. She places it in a jar, gives it the name ‘Sting’, and begins to feed it. The space spider wastes no time escaping to feed on small animals and quickly humans in order for it to grow and learn. There is a lot going on around Charlotte story wise but that doesn’t take away from we got a space spider trying to eat up everyone in this apartment building during a cold snap. Give this fun killer spider stuff 4 stars.

Immaculate (DVD) – A young woman Cecilia is heading to a convent in Italy where she was directed to go and take her vows. After a few weeks of being there and finding her place in the convent it is revealed she is prego without sin. Of course there is some strangeness surrounding the event as she cannot escape the convent but apparently the symbol of Jesus’ sacrifice will get you prego?! Along the way Cecilia uncovers there has been many failures but she is the exception as she will give birth to an unholy demon. Had a tough time getting through this one especially seeing ‘The First Omen’ before this and believe they did it better? But this one just left me feeling meh as I can only give it 2 stars.

Lisa Frankenstein (DVD) – Every once in a while we get a horror film/dark comedy that is able to grab horror fans and non-horror fans together and this was the one for 2024. Lisa is a young lady who hasn’t found love yet but does quite enjoy spending time in the local cemetery that is considered haunted. Her obsession of one grave in the cemetery is brought to life one night after a strange storm. The young man from the grave comes to visit Lisa sending her into a frenzy of helping her undead friend soon to be boyfriend as she sews human parts to him. Yes, there is a scene of Lisa sewing a dick to her undead boyfriend. As the bodies begin to pile up Lisa learns there will be a price to pay for finding love. This retro horror flick set in 1989 carries that ‘Heathers’ vibe of dark but fun horror/comedy style that plays like a Disney teen flick gone to the dark side as I give it 3 ½ stars.

K. The Butcher Shitter (YouTube/remake) – First, just a little background on watching this flick. The digital screener and trailer got the filmmaker’s YouTube channel banned so it was sent to me by download.  Second, for those who may not know this is a remake of ‘Violent Shit 2’ which talented filmmaker Alex Wesley had total consent from Andreas Schnaas to go make an updated version in his own vision as Alex and those who worked on the project were huge fans of the original series. Set in October 1992 a reporter is looking into the cruelest murders ever committed and surprised to learn Karl the Butcher had a son. Now the son is on a gory rampage in the forest to avenge his father as his mother looks on. It has all the craziness of the original you expect to please fans like nudity, cannibalism, gore, bloody boobs, a dick being cut off, and head drilling. You know everything to satisfy the small but rabid fan base of this movie series. Like it, hate it, never heard of it you got to respect this low budget gore film and its history as it’s not exactly my cup of tea but I do know ‘Violent Shit’ fans will be happy there is another entry to this long running series as I give it 3 out of 4 stars so enjoy.

Spooks Run Wild (DVD) – A lost art of a cheap comedy from 1941 where Bela Lugosi appears as a bootleg Dracula named Nardo but there is more to it than that. Some underprivileged teenagers are sent to a camp outside of town to help get them on the right path. But the same night they show up not only it is reported a monster is on the loose near the town, a strange man shows up to the old Billings estate that has sat empty for years. The boys escape under darkness from the camp and stumble into the estate after one of their buddies is shot in a graveyard nearby. From there weird hilarious things happen causing the boys to be scared of the strange man Nardo and his assistant who suddenly showed up to lurk around the estate. Think low budget Three Stooges in a strange haunted house as I give it 2 ½ stars.
