Evil Mail Cal! Check out what is on the chop block for It’s Bloggin’ Evil!
MAIL CALL!
The mail man finally brought me my packages. As I tracked the package, I saw that the package shipped from Pittsburgh, went to Ohio for processing, traveled to Southeastern PA, then to Downingtown, PA which is two minutes from where I reside. However, when I thought the package would arrive the next day, my blood started to boil when I found that it was just processed in Jersey City, NJ. Gah! Five days later (after a weekend), my package finally arrived and I was relieved and now I can share with you what might the content be for future articles.
For the first time on It’s Bloggin’ Evil, I made a video post about what was received. This gives you a clear idea on the content that one might come across. Now not every film in this video will be reviewed here because their genres just aren’t evil enough, but I still think it’s interested to see what people can hunt down in flea markets, yard sales, Movie Stop’s used section, Walmart’s $5 dollar bin and so on. Also, don’t expect just movies on future video posts!
Hopefully you enjoy the video. I can be a dry talker at times, but I’m a bit camera shy and can get nervous. There is some bloopers and humorous remarks in this little over 8 minute video. Thanks again for watching and make sure you return from the grave and check out the evil to come.
Wild Child of Evil! Shiver review!
When a story becomes too fantastic and passing the point of belief when it’s suppose to feel true, doesn’t speak very highly of the story’s quality. The draining feeling of being sucked into such can only leave a bad taste in a viewer’s mouth. Why does this happen, you ask? The story starts to stretch, reaching a highly unobtainable goal to which we’re suppose to believe that can happen when we know for a fact that there is about a zero to null chance of that event from ever occurring in real time. If a fantastic story done correctly, your brain doesn’t have to stretch beyond it’s belief and accept the novel nature of the story’s reason or direction. Isidro Ortiz’s Shiver, not to be confused with David Cronenberg’s Shivers, is exactly the correct method in suspending our disbelief below our threshold of reason.
Santi is a tormented high school kid with an over protective mother. His severe physical allergic reaction to sunlight and his teeth deformity has labeled him forever a vampire boy by the school bullies. When the doctor suggests moving Santi to a dimmer part of the country, he and his mother waste no time settling into a small village nestled deep with in the crevice of mountains. Peace and quiet is far from achieved as local murders have been pinned to Santi who quickly believes he is the next victim of a monstrous forest killer.
Werewolf evil? More like Puppy Love! Face of the Screaming Werewolf review!
My mindset on vintage horror flicks goes a little something like this – they’re without a shadow of a doubt all classics. There will be always be films that are more popular and stand out more than other black and white labeled pioneers of earlier film-hood, but the question begs, have you’ve ever seen a horrible horror movie from the Lon Chaney Jr. or Boris Karloff days? Before tonight, I can honestly say no. Then, I had to go and watch Cheezy Flicks version of Face of the Screaming Werewolf starring Lon Chaney Jr. and was directed by three directors. Remember what I’ve always said about having multiple directors – the shit never works!
Dr. Redding and his team use hypnosis on a Cali girl named Ann Taylor in discovering ancient forms of life in the Yucatan pyramids. When him and his team go exploring through the deep dark tunnels of the ruins, a living-ish breathing-ish mummy attacks them, but falls when the team fights back. They also discover a more modern individual also mummified for unknown reasons. Dr. Redding takes both mummified subjects back to America, but is soon killed and the modern mummy is stolen when Redding attempts to showcase his finds. When the modern man is revived by a bolt of lightning (Frankenstein reference anyone?), his uncanny secret of being a werewolf is revealed when the full moon just happens to be out at the same time as his revival. The werewolf and the mummy are both reanimated and walk the city, stalking and killing innocent folk. Who will stop them? Hell if I know.
Where’s the hunt for evil? Death Hunter: Werewolves vs Vampires review!
As seductively epic does the title Death Hunter: Werewolves vs Vampires sounds, the funds for such a grand title don’t support it. Werewolves and vampires have been the subject of folklore for more than century and to have the two be in the same production needs the backing of the money. The Underworld trilogy gained much of it’s success and popularity through dollar signs and it’s stardom in the beautifully femme fatale of Kate Beckinsale. Death Hunter has none of the above, leaving most of it’s special effects to the wolves and creativity helpless to the imagination of it’s audiences.
