The Barbarians (film review)

I been a fan of Ruggero Deodato for a while now – and I have seen just about all his films… But the Man reminds me of Takashi Miike and his style of directing and the kind if films he directs? He moves from making Cop-Thrillers right down to the Ultra-Gory now to Fantasy and Kids films. Perhaps he is best known for directing one of my favourites Cannibal Holocaust the so called BANNED in more than 50 countries!

Now the Barbarians? Not on the same leave as his but still a great watch.

Def-Con 4 (film review)

I bought it a 2 dollar shop that has amazingly cheap crap and DVD’s… Mostly picked this over the amazing art-work and how it was $1 dollar so either way I won’t complain. Though those like me how are familiar with Government operations will know “Def-Con 4” is the lowest of defences…

The Human Centipede - Full Sequence (film review)

After internal viewing the 1^st I have been stoked on seeing the second for a long time… That and my opinion on the first was so mixed I hardly had words? It was a film where a Mad Doctor joined people Ass to their Faces to make a Digestive system called “A Human Centipede”.

After hearing about the seconds Banning in the U.K. and being Cut in America I knew I had to see it. And I did quite a few months ago, But unlike the first this is a film I can hardly give a rating… I mean is it good? Is it Bad? It has its massive ups and downs but still…? I presented the first with a Fresh 70% for a fresh Idea of a film, but Tom Six just takes things a little too far.

Martin is a Mentally disturbed Man or Loner who lives with his Mom and is fascinated with a film called The Human Centipede… Of course Martin is a man who is into disturbed shit so he loses himself to those kinds of things while Masturbating, Torture animals… ECT. One day he decides to realise his fantasies but abducting 12 people to make his dream became a reality and Movie he loves now becomes true.

 Let me say… It starts of strong and progress right down the road into a Map of a man’s Horrible and fucked up imagination… But slowly loses it’s with really bizarre images of death and suffering in the second half and mostly near its climax. Though unlike other stables of Gore and Controversial flicks like Cannibal Holocaust… Guinea Pig 1 and 2… Grotesque or even Men behind the Sun… Six just trys too hard to accomplish nothing.

I can’t lie gross and enough to make my girlfriend almost vomit… But to avid horror fans like myself just boring. Mostly in the in Rape scenes that go no-where…

The acting isn’t too bad a big step up from the first, but nothing much I can say in the second half that one might just call full on Torture porn but not nearly as horrific as it may seem. Some excellent Black and White Cinematography (mostly for the fact in Black and White to hide some of the most graphic of scenes)… The Camera work is first rate along with its creepy disturbing world that Six shows throw the Eyes of a Madman.

The Special Effects are… Disturbing at least to say. I won’t ruin much so all I can say is Holy Shit, still it gets kind of reptive near the end but fun at least.

Here are some facts I found

On June 6th 2011 the BBFC (UK certification board) refused to grant this movie a certificate, effectively banning the movie from being shown in cinemas or DVD in the UK.

On 6 October 2011 the BBFC granted the film an 18 certificate after 32 cuts totalling 2 minutes and 37 seconds were made.

Tom Six shot Full Sequence in color, but was always thinking about black and white and realized while editing that it was much scarier in black and white.

Overall horror fans might love it, but personally I find this a hard to give a rating to. I can’t tell if it’s bad or I can agree with many critics like Ebert? I might give it another view someday… Till then

Jesse’s Full Sequence score… ?

A*P*E (film review)

Not to be confused with KING KONG
-My DVD

You know watching a giant Gorilla attack Seoul with poor production values and effect's and A*P*E is a film that just doesn't take it's self seriously and oh my GOD KOREAN MONSTER FILM'S ARE HORRIBLE!!! But A*P*E on the other hand (Also known as The Great Counter Attack of King Kong) proves to be well...Fun at least. And I learnt a lot while watching this.
BTW I think out Korean King Kong has to be the best part about this flick.

Zombi Holocaust (film review)

Zombi Holocaust? The only film were Zombies and Cannibals appear in the same film and you can expect a blood bath I can tell you that.

I saw this years ago under the censored and alternate cut of the film called - Doctor Butcher M.D. – And it didn’t impress me at all. That Cut of the film is advertised as if where a slasher flick… (Kind of got me interested)

Up from the Depths (film review)

Up from the Depths? One of the many Jaws related Nock-offs and I pretty much heard how terrible it was… But then again was it that bad? Well it’s one of the better Jaws Rip-Offs I have seen and this ones camp appeal and style makes the film (And I being serious).

I Spit on Your Grave (film review)

Does I Spit on Your Grave really serve a point as director Meir Zarchi would point out? About an innocent young women who is hard-core and viciously Gang Raped by 4 Red-Necks (or 5 by the poster). And decides the only way to better herself is by graphically killing them?

Maybe on all accounts by Roger Ebert – But then again in my opinion it is worth watching by Males and Females alike.
