Blood Sabbath (1972)

Witchery &  Coven flicks have never really been something I took a huge liking to. Sure you have the greats like Suspiria and the ultra-schlocky like Herschell Gordon Lewis's Something Weird. Then you also have the awesome Inquisition flicks like Mark Of The Devil and Witch Finder General but to me those aren't real Witch-Flicks. They are just awesome torture movies that shit on religion at the same time. Movies like Don't Go Near The Park have never appealed to me and Blood Sabbath falls into that same category.

Sure we have tons of naked women doin Witchy stuff but the movie is just so boring. It follows a young man who returns from the Vietnam war and falls in love with a Witch. Okay right off the bat they never give us any background on the war veteran. Instead we have to figure it out for our selves through really bad flashback scenes. First off our main character is fighting the war in a Crocodile Dundee hat and he clearly isn't wearing an American military uniform but whatever, we eventually get the point. So he falls in love with a Witch but he is betrayed by the coven and they leave the young soldier soulless. He kills off some Witches and he eventually dies with no soul at the hands of some hippies. If that's not a boring plot, I don't know what is... The only thing that helps this one move along at all is the nudity. Oh yeah and we also get a decapitated priest. Still it is quite the task to make it through the bad acting, bad editing, bad wardrobe, bad story, bad music and overly soft color of a washed out print in one sitting. Only worth a watch for fans of bottom of the barrel 70's B-movies.

The Amazing Transparent Man (1960)

Almost 30 years later this low budget scifi flick cashes in on The Invisible Man (1933) and takes it in a whole new direction. It starts off with a bad-ass jail break scene with our anti-hero dodging bullets and spot lights from the police who are on his tail. He gets away with the help of a woman who is waiting for him on a bridge.

Our bad guy is brought to a house where he will meet a shotgun wielding hillbilly, a mad-Nazi scientist and a weirdo who wants to build a army of invisible men. I forget exactly why he wants an army of invisible men but its not very important.

In my opinion most men would do some pretty evil shit if they had the power to become invisible but our hot headed criminal gets a little to excited at the thought of being able to pull off any kind of "job" or just get away with his criminal behaviour. Nobody really works with anybody else and since the movie really doesn't have any good guys, its pretty hard to see where its all going to go. Well it doesn't really go anywhere. We get a couple of fist fights, some invisibility special effects and all the nonsense that goes along with it, a little bit of gun violence and the whole thing ends at 57 minutes with an explosion. Talk about irrupt endings... The truth is The Amazing Transparent Man becomes nothing more then a let down and the original Invisible Man is a much better watch.

Girls Nite Out (1984)

This movie poster certainly doesn't serve any justice to this 80's Slasher flick. We have a demented killer named Dicky and college kids are being knocked off one by one by a sicko in a bears suit all while 60's pop music which I doubt anybody had the rights to use plays as our soundtrack.

Hal Holbrook who I always remember best for his role as Henry in Creepshow (1983) plays a security guard on college campus who's daughter was brutally murdered by a madman named Dicky. Years later blood is spilled again on school grounds and Holbrook does his best to protect the students against a maniac running around in the basketball mascot bear suit. The suit is complete with a set of serrated knife used as claws on the bear suits paw. Naturally (Freddy) A Nightmare On Elm Street pops into mind and its pretty interesting to look at considering the two movies came out the same year. Who was the first to use the knives for finger nails, I am not sure but Girls Nite Out is by far the weirder of the two films.

Unfortunately this one isn't overly gory. We get some throat slashing but that's really it. Another problem with Girls Nite Out is the lack of female flesh. We have tons of guys running around topless but we don't even get a bit of tit. For this reason I couldn't help but be reminded of the incredibly homoerotic A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 2. Despite the lack of nudity and splatter, Girls Nite Out is still a fun Slash-em-to-shreds campus grounds massacre flick similar to movies like Happy Birthday To Me and Graduation Day. The only difference is this time the killer is a silly looking bear and that's just ridiculous. True Slasher fans should not be disappointed.

Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959)

Plan 9 From Outer Space also known as Grave Robers From Outer Space is the most infamous title from (the great) Edward D. Wood Jr. If any film deserves its cult status, this is it. Known to the world as "the worst movie of all time" which is completely ridiculous because there has been way worse before and since but either way Plan 9 really helped put bad B-movies on the map.

Lovers of bad movies have no choice but to hold this gem close to their hearts. We get cult icon Vampira lurking around a cemetery with giant oaf Tor Johnson as the undead raised from their tombs by aliens from another planet. Watching these two stumble around is pure comedy in its self but the whole movie is a laugh riot from beginning to end.

Plan 9 is also the last film that Bela (Dracula) Lugosi will ever appear in. The great Hungarian actor died in the early stages of the film so Ed Wood being the genius that he is threw in an off screen suicide for the horror legend and filled his shoes with a man who is obviously to tall to be Lugosi and will cover his face with his cape... Well audiences were not fooled but they sure did get a good laugh.
Watch as shitty looking u.f.o.'s fly over Hollywood Boulevard. Watch for the ridiculously cheesy salute that our extraterrestrial friends give, The awful dialogue "Inspector Clay is dead. Murdered by somebody responsible" and the speech given by the aliens at the end of the film is just priceless. They make it quite clear that they came in peace but they will still have to kill the earthlings because of their "Stupid minds. Stupid! Stupid!". Then theres the narrator who "predicts" our future and brings us the whole mess of the story.

Plan 9 is not for everybody but its a must see for fans of mind numbing garbage and anyone who can get a laugh out of inadequate film making. Its best viewed with a group of friends and even better if at least one has not seen it. Get ready for some campy mayhem filled with zombies, flying saucers, bad acting, crumbling skeletons, fainting women, awful stunt doubles, dangerous gun twirling, a fat man struggling to get out of his grave, Vampira boobage, & state of the art special effects.

Thirsty Dead (1974)

Four girls are abducted by some dudes in monk get-ups and are brought to a cavern in a (Philippines) jungle where they will be dressed in Toga's and meet a cat in a white one piece jump suit with a huge popped collar that would make Elvis jealous.

The Richard Simmons/Elvis impersonator is a member of a blood drinking cult of immortals. Sure they drink blood but they aren't really vampires or at least in the normal sense of vampires. Instead they sacrifice the undesirables by draining the blood from their bodies over long periods of time. The captive women eventually start to look like zombies and when they are finally fully drained they are thrown into a pit to rot away. However our Elvis impersonator falls in love with one of our Toga wearing women and before you can say Love Me Tender she manipulates the little worm into helping her and her friends escape.
The Thirsty Dead is virtually gore-less with the exception of some rotting corpses and the slightest bit of red stuff from a knife to the throat but the knife doesn't do any damage. It might as well have been paper cuts because they just nick the girls throats. The lack of gore is not much of a surprise considering the director has never really done anything except for television work. Apparently this movie used to get a lot of t.v. screen time as well and I suppose it may have been an okay time passer for a t.v. movie but its pretty much a total waste of time to watch it on your own and certainly not worth owning.

Shake, Rattle & Roll! (1956)

A group of old fashioned straight laced "squares" are outraged by the rock & roll craze and the affect it is having on the youth. They form a group to ban rock & roll but they won't take it down without a fight. This movie is clearly for the kids. The adults are bunch of bumbling retards and the kids are not harming anybody. This seems to be a theme that director Edward L. Cahn would use more then once. If you remember Invasion Of The Saucer Men the kids were the hero's in that one too and the older generation were portrayed as a bunch of ignorant morons. Although Shake, Rattle & Roll! is a comedy the theme of youth being right is so overly done that you have no choice to laugh. What the adults do not know in this one is that rock & roll took the kids off the streets, out of the gang wars and put them in the dance halls. These once Juvenile Delinquents now go to school and conduct constructive lives. "Some were even seen going to church" and its because they all share one common interest... Rock & Roll!
Some big name musicians appear and perform in the film. Big Joe Turner does a few numbers and Fats Domino really steals the show with a bunch of his hits. He does I'm In Love Again and Ain't It A Shame and of course the kids go wild but when the parents crash the kids party these straight laced rock & rollers turn delinquents again and cause a riot.
The downfall to this movie for me was a character who goes by the name of Axe. He is so over the top with his annoying 50's street jargon "What are you supposed to be? I'm a hipster!" and his bad comedy act that the entire film would have benefited from his total nonexistence. On the other hand we get an awesome old man played by Raymond Hatton who was also in Invasion Of The Saucer Men. Well this time around he hates his wife and just wants to rock & roll! Hatton was my favorite part of this film aside from Fats Domino and Shake, Rattle & Roll! is worth a watch for his old man antics alone.

So grab your switchblade and carve into a police car to the boppin beat of Fats Domino, Big Joe Turner and Shake Rattle & Roll!

Sex Madness (1938)

This early Sex Hygiene flick tries and fails to cash in on the cult success of Reefer Madness with a similar title. It also went under the title of Human Wreckage and They Must Be Told but when its all said and done was just another syphilis scare flick with very little to offer.

It follows a young soon to be married woman who contracts the killer disease in a one night stand at a burlesque show. She seeks help from various doctors and is mislead into believing that she is cured. She then goes through with her marriage and infects her husband and new born baby. Syphilis quickly takes its toll on the (not so happy) family and naturally suicide seems to be the only alternative.

Sure we get to see some pictures of infected people who are rotting away from the disease which is very necessary for this genre but the film is very tame compared to others in the same category. Sex Madness pales in comparison to films like Mom And Dad. There is no rotting penises on display here nor is there the birth of a baby. Instead Sex Madness focuses more on "Quack" doctors which would translate into modern English as a fraud who is out for the money and dishes out foney vaccines allowing victims to go uncured. Apparently in 1938 there must have been a whole lot of Quacks because just about ever character in this film is fooled by these con-men in lab coats.

The Sex Hygiene films is one of the earliest examples of American Sexploitation and I suppose this film did exploit the subject matter of sexually transmitted diseases to show a bit of flesh but a bit is a over statement. We get a insinuated lesbian couple, burlesque dancing and some young folk chit-chatting about promiscuous encounters with the opposite sex. A sex maniac rapist makes the papers after attending a burlesque show and the most racy scene takes place in a girl dressing room. We see some giant 30's style pointed bras and that's about it. Sex Madness comes from the same madman director who gave us Maniac (1934) which is a much more daring film for the time. I'd skip it and seek out a better and more exploitative title in the genre.

Let The Right One In (2008)

Usually not being interested in Vampire Flicks I took my sweet time getting around to this one. I have to admit I was quite surprised. This Swedish tale takes the blood-sucker genre in a totally different direction in the sense that it focuses on children.
Oskar is a twelve year old boy who is being bullied in school. He remains passive and takes his beatings but fantasizes about getting even with his fellow students who torment him. Oskar collects news clippings from local murders and follows the serial killings that is going on in his neighborhood. He also stabs trees with his survival knife and imagines it to be a squirming classmate. It is quite obvious that Oskar's future doesn't look so bright and anyone who was ever pushed around in school can probably relate with young Oskar.

 The young boys life takes a drastic turn when he meets his first love, a 12 year old vampire named Elly. Together the young couple explore love, hate, pain and happiness through friendship. 

Some of the more memorable moments involve bodies being strung up from their ankles in true Ed Gein fashion and drained of blood with throat slashing, Teenage boy decapitation, Teenage boy arm dismemberment in swimming pool. An older vampire pours acid on his head and jumps from a tall building leaving a disfigured corpse. We also have ear mutilation by giant stick and a woman who bursts into flames in her hospital bed. However the weirdest part in the movie for me is when our young vampire exposes herself and reveals that Vampires don't have any genitals. This left me scratching my head and wondering why the Swedish filmmaker took the film in this direction. I still don't understand why Vampires don't have any sex organs.

Let The Right One In sets a sad, depressing tone from the opening credits to the films final and it is as far from anything that American film goers are used to seeing. Of course America got its hands on the title recently and did our own version which I am yet to see but I highly doubt it has the smallest bit of the Swedish versions originality. Check this one out with your guy or your girl. Its a interesting look at disturbed adolescents and the journey to adulthood with some Vampiric folklore thrown in for good measures.

Army Of Darkness (1992)

Army Of Darkness is the third film in the Evil Dead trilogy and its the most ridiculous out of the lot. It continues from the end of Evil Dead 2 with Ash being sucked into a sort of time warp. He ends up in medieval times where he will fight the army of the dead. One of the alternate titles for the film was The Medieval Dead which I thought was pretty witty.

Evil Dead 3 or Army Of Darkness was released 1992 and we all know that the 90's was an awful time for American film in general and horror movies were the bottom of the barrel. Nobody wanted to offend anybody and the cruel, nastiness of the 70's were long gone and the Splatter Flicks of the 80's seemed to be a passed trend as well. Evil Dead (1981) was a campy gore flick and still managed to be creepy at the same time. Evil Dead 2 (Dead By Dawn) (1987) exploited the camp of the first film to the max and gave us an all out horror,comedy, splatter-fest. This time around the movie becomes so overly silly that it can hardly even be considered a horror flick. However the same year as Army Of Darkness another Splatter pioneer,(Peter Jackson) came out with Dead Alive a.k.a. Brain Dead and unlike Raimi, Jackson gave the Evil Dead fans what they really deserved. The two films can't even be compared other then the fact that they both were released in 1992 and their both more silly than a shit filled hat. Dead Alive is one of the goriest movies ever made and still manages to be funny (even funnier then Army Of Darkness) while the final film in the Evil Dead trilogy really only appeals to kids and those of us who grew up with it.

Bruce Campbell of course continues his role as Ash and he really goes above and beyond as far as beating himself up for the movie. He delivers tons of memorable lines "Good... Bad... I'm the guy with the gun", does many of his own stunts and makes some really ridiculous faces while doing it all. I'll admit the special effects were cool and the film is a whole lot of fun. Its just disappointing that Sam Raimi didn't push for some more gore.

Either way now Mr. Raimi and Mr. Jackson are both in the same boat, making shitty Hollywood movies and fist over dollar. Lord Of The Rings might appeal to some but I miss the Bad Taste days.

They Saved Hitlers Brain (1963-197?)

This crazy B-movie was originally released in 1963 as The Madman From Mandoras. About ten years later a couple of losers with a camera bought the rights to the film with the awful idea of turning it into a full length feature. The original film ran at 64 min. and it was probably the perfect run time for a campy scifi flick about a group of Nazi's who removes Hitlers head from his body and kept it in a jar with the plans of global domination.

The new owners of the once fun film shot a bunch of footage that obviously doesn't match up, causing the film to run at 91 minutes, which is painfully long for such a crap-fest. The new footage shows men with big 70's mustaches as secret agents continuing the search for a missing scientist. Then they threw in some car explosions and of course the cars don't match up either.

Although the new title may be much more memorable the film itself has been mangled by incompetent morons with no sense of the beauty of a camp film. Avoid They Saved Hitlers Brain at all costs and watch the original Madman Of Mandoras also known as The Amazing Mr. H and The Return Of Mr. H. You won't be let down by the silly 60's Nazi mayhem and the burning Hitler heads.

Lost, Lonely And Vicious (1958)

This has to be one of the weirdest movies to cash in on the success of Rebel Without A Cause. Lost, Lonely And Vicious tells the tale of Johnnie Dennis a new, young talented actor in Hollywood. On the surface it seems he has everything going for him but does he really?

Johnnie has an obsession with death. He runs with a bunch of Juvenile Delinquents, drag races his car in the street and almost runs down pretty young girls like Barbara Wilson (Flesh Eaters) and gets into violent street fights. Its not long before Johnnie realizes he has a "Death Wish" and he is off to the library like a true rebel to do some research on his obsession. He learns that he is not the only one who dreams of being dead and his matters get worse causing him to become more self destructive then ever.

Johnnie eventually falls in love with Barbara Wilson but will love be enough to keep Johnnie Dennis from taking the final plunge? Will he die in a rumble, or a drag race? Will he just commit suicide? He seems destined for destruction and Lost Lonely And Vicious is a pretty morbid love story from the 50's. Sure its cheesy as hell but its still a nice change of pace from the average juvenile delinquent flick.

We get rockabilly dancing girls in tight sweaters, a pretty brutal street fight with heads being smashed with hammers, wrenches, concrete and car doors, reckless driving in big 50's thunderbirds, and it also sports what may be my new fetish. A fetish that only Ed Wood Jr. would understand... Girls in tight sweaters spinning their favorite 45's between their cleavage. It's a moment that has to be seen and possibly makes the movie worth owning.

Thrill Killers (1964)

The Thrill Killers also known as The Maniacs Are Loose and The Monsters Are Loose is one of those awesome mean spirited exploitation flicks of the mid 60's. It has elements of a Roughie but it certainly doesn't fit into that genre. For some reason The Thrill Killers always reminds me more of movies like The Sadist (1963) with the great Arch Hall Junior.

Maybe its because Arch Hall was part of the same film ring as The Thrill Killers director Ray Dennis Steckler. Arch Hall Junior even stared in Steckler's first film The Wild Guitar as Bud Eagle the typical Arch Hall Jr. beach-bum who has entirely to much hair product in his blond mop and drives the beach-babes wild with his crazy guitar playing.

However as I mentioned before this one plays more like The Sadist. We have three escaped mental patients who are running around with axes, guns and knives, chopping the heads off of helpless victims. In one of my favorite scenes we see one of our escaped lunatics picking pieces of scalp off the blade of his axe and he says "Poor Jack, He had dandruff". This is a perfect example of the dark and yet humorous tone that runs throughout The Thrill Killers.

However the three escaped lunatics isn't even the best part of the movie. The best character is played by Ray Dennis Steckler himself and is credited as Cash Flag. Cash Flag looks like he belongs in a skinhead flick like Romper Stomper or something like that because Cash Flag a.k.a. Mad Dog Click looks exactly like a young hooligan with his tightly cropped hair and his tight blue jeans and boots. Aside from his menacing look he is one brutal mother fucker. He truly despises the human race and he gets his kicks from killing, hence the title. In one of his best moments we see him smack a prostitute all over her apartment. Next time I watch this movie I really have to count the slaps because there is a lot. Next he verbally abuses her and makes her quite aware of his hatred for human beings. He finishes the "Cheap" hooker off with a pair of scissors.
We also get a police massacre, a dead cowboy, death by poisoned coffee, a motorcycle and horse chase scene complete with shoot out and a murder. Throw in the decapitations and a dive off a cliff and we have one hell of a entertaining exploitation flick.

Those who are familiar with Ray Dennis Stecklers films rightfully might be worried. After all the man was responsible for such stinkers as The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? (1964) and Rat Pfink and Boo Boo (1966) but The Thrill Killers is by far the best of his films that I have seen. Its up in the ranks of greats like David Friedman and some of Russ Myer's more violent work like Motor Psycho and Faster Pussy Cat, Kill! Kill!

Don't Answer The Phone (1980)

1980 and 1981 was such a great time for Slashers. We had huge titles like Friday The 13th but then we also had the really nasty, violent ones like Maniac and The Prowler. Don't Answer The Phone holds the same tone as movies like Maniac with its level of realistic depravity.

The thing that separates Don't Answer The Phone from Maniac is the lack of gore but its understandable considering the psychopath in this movie is a strangler. I have to admit the gore hound in me was just a bit disappointed with the lack of the red stuff but Don't Answer The Phone is still very affective without it. Our villain is a total nut-bag who fancies himself as a sort of prophet who's mission is to cleanse human garbage through vicious strangulation and of course rape. "Was she raped? In every orifice in her body". We have seen the religious fanatic, psycho in countless slasher flicks but the thing that makes this character so interesting is that the viewer never really believes that he even feels what he is doing is right. He's a total sicko and he hates human beings and his only gratification in life is doing harm to others. Then there is the fact that our killer is always making crazy faces and his personalities seem to switch at the drop of a hat.

Since our killers weapon of choice is a pair of pantyhose that he can tighten around his victims throats we get quite a bit of nudity. Every killer has style and this guy isn't content with just going down to Macy's and buying a new pair of stalkings. He takes each pair off of his victim and will use it later on his next. I felt that this gave the killer a bit more depth and all though there was more room for character development I don't think any viewers will be disappointed by the films climax. Everything becomes quite clear as to the kind of man the killer is.

Fans of "Don't!" movies such as Don't Go In The Basement, Don't Go In The Woods, Don't Open Till Christmas etc. should really add Don't Answer The Phone to their collection its a true sickie from the most vile year of the Slasher genre.

Philosophy Of A Knife (2008)

Philosophy Of A Knife is one of the most relentless and mentally trying films that I have ever tried to sit through. Its a four and a half hour long splatter-fest depicting the atrocities and human experiments lead by General Ishi and his Japanese scientist known as Unit 731, a top secret military unit doing research on biological warfare.

Philosophy differs from other films based on the exploits of Unit 731 in the fact that the film has no social message or standpoint. Those familiar with movies like Men Behind The Sun are aware of how grizzly and disturbing these experiments were but at the same time those other films tend to be a patriotic Chinese cry of dispaire. Philosophy is the exact opposite and is a much deeper film. Its part documentary with narration explaining the war and Japans scientific advances. We have interviews from a man who was there as an interpreter and the film also claims to have uncovered facts that were previously unknown to the world. Then the rest of the film is pretty much all reenactments of the experiments that went on in Unit 731. For me the films down fault was that they tried to add in a small story line about a Japanese soldier who is falling in love with one of the Guinea pig, prisoners. I felt it was a waste of run time and the film was long enough without it. Then the director chooses to shoot entirely to much snow footage which does break up the horrible torture scenes but really doesn't serve much purpose and causes the film to run even longer then necessary.

On the other hand Philosophy Of A Knife is one of the hardest films to sit through and I would never recommend trying to sit through the whole thing in one sitting. The film should be seen in two parts in order to keep the viewer from sinking into a depression. Its almost impossible to explain the cruelty that takes place in this movie and after watching it the movie from beginning to end its really hard to have any respect for fellow man. Some of the most disturbing scenes in the movie show a syphilis rape scene forced at gun point and the aftermath of a uncontrolled case of the sexually transmitted disease. We also see a prisoner who has a giant cockroach shoved up in her vagina and is later skinned alive in search of the filthy bug. We have a horrible scene where a boy is striped naked and brought out into the freezing cold where he is tied to a post and has cold water dumped on his body until he completely frost bitten. Then he is brought back to the lab where they put his limbs into hot water and his skin falls off until he is pretty much a skeleton. Children are sewn together, We get a disgusting abortion scene, veins and main arteries are sliced open with medical tools so the military can see how much time a soldier has to bleed to death when hit in vital areas. The torture goes on and on with gas chambers, torture by electricity, decapitations, dismemberment's, radiation and basically any other awful atrocity that you can think of.

After being subjected to the full 4 hours of these experiments I personally couldn't help but feel like I was tortured myself. If there is anything that Philosophy doesn't do it is glorify the violence. I have heard many call this movie a modern exploitation film with over the top gore. I don't know if I can agree with this statement because I felt the opposite. I felt the agony of those torture scenes and really couldn't wait for the film to end. It was just to much to handle and I have came back and watched the movie in full more then once to see if I found it as disturbing as the first time. The answer is yes. The movie seems to take a bit of your soul every time you see it and for that reason I feel that it is an important piece of cinema that needs to be seen. Now if you will excuse me I am going to go vomit!

Jacktown (1962)

Jacktown is supposed to be the true story of a Juvenile Delinquent who is sent to Jacksonville prison (A prison with a very unique and violent history) for statutory rape. Our delinquent is involved with drug trafficking, mugging, heists and of course fornicating with 15 year old girls and is sent to the big house where he will meet other real life losers.

Jacktown starts off with a bang. We see our anti-hero and his delinquent friend clobber a middle aged man in a botched up mugging scene and its not long before a narrator comes in and explains the history of Jacksonville prison. According to the movie two inmates held a prison guard hostage and eventually took over the prison. This lead to a two day riot where inmates took out their anger on prison guards and other faculty. After the two days were up the inmates started running low on food and turned against each other. You can only imagine the violence and bloodshed that took place behind those prison walls. The governor eventually met an agreement with the inmates. If they stop the revolt they will all be treated to a steak diner and ice cream for desert. As cool as this background story is we don't get any live footage of the violent prison riot. We do get a bunch of stills showing the damage done to the prison. I guess a picture is better then nothing.

Unfortunately the film really slows down when it becomes a love story. Our pretty-boy delinquent is given special rights by the warden for some reason or another and is allowed to work in the wardens garden.

The wardens daughter happens to be no other then Patty (The Bad Seed) McCormack. This time Patty isn't a murdering sociopath. Instead she is the not so smart, rapist sympathizer. Its not long before the warden notices that his hot daughter is spending a little bit to much time with our handsome rapist and he removes the kid from garden work at his house. Our delinquent makes a jail break and runs off to see innocent Patty McCormack and she bribes him with some virgin vagina to go back and finish out his sentence.
Jacktown is silly and a bit stupid and not quite as fun as other Juvenile Delinquent films of the sort but it does have its moments and some funny quotes. "He's sitting in my back yard right now, listening to that awful rock & roll". Worth a watch for fans of this sort of movie just don't expect any big rumbles or another Black Board Jungle.

Warlock Moon (1975)

This movie is a prime example of when my trailer addiction comes to bite me in the ass. Warlock Moon's trailer makes it look like its going to be a blood soaked slasher with some added supernatural crap for extra ridiculousness. Then there is also the fact that Warlock Moon also known as Bloody Spa is often related to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Which is completely ridiculous.

There is one scene that is almost identical to the great Texas Chainsaw Massacre (T.C.M.) and its the moment where the kids first find the creepy old house in the middle of nowhere. Aside from this scene the two films couldn't be more different. Texas Chainsaw is a harrowing tale of cannibals and the victims decent into madness where Warlock Moon is a silly flick filled with goofy characters who wear fake nose & mustache glasses and as far as my expectations for a gory slasher flick goes... Well lets just say all of the murders happen off screen and the most brutality we witness is a old lady drinking some blood.

Warlock Moon was a complete let down and the fact that anybody would relate it to T.C.M. is just offensive. Just in case if the trailer wasn't misleading enough they made sure to give the film a title that has no comparison either. There is not a Warlock to be found in the whole damn movie. Skip it!
