The Evil Dead
Fall is fast approaching. The weather is getting cooler and it's getting the perfect time to go out to the woods and snuggle up next to your honey near a fire. When your friends invite you and your ladyfriend out to an isolated cabin in the wilderness for some good times and libations, it sounds like a good idea. When they tell you they got it for cheap you assume that it has to be a pit, and when you get there it is. Everything seems relatively normal, but when the cellar door starts flapping in the house like there's someone down there, you should just leave it alone. If you do happen to go down there and find a book that looks like it's got a cover made of skin, a tape recorder and some kind of ceremonial dagger - for the love of all that is holy, don't bring them upstairs and play the recording. You might just unleash The Evil Dead...
Maniac Cop
The police are supposed to help people. We've been taught this from a very young age, and whenever stories on the 11 o'clock news about a corrupt cop, or an officer that has been charged with a crime - that violates the trust between the police and the public. When you have cops like this one the street, you figure it's just a couple bad apples. But, when you have one on the streets that is killing innocent people and other police officers, that's when you have a MANIAC COP!
Pro-Life
Every now and then, especially during election years, certain topics come to light, such as, separation of church and state, immigration, racism and abortion. While the endless blah blah blahing from either side is enough to make my ears bleed, I thought it was time to get a different perspective.. So that got me thinking, hmm, how would forces of evil deal with these social issues? They already have a lot of issues with separation of church and state because they're always getting exorcised or banished, immigration and racism are not new to them either, with civilians always scolding them, "not in my neighborhood". That leaves abortion. So imagine my delight when I saw this movie sitting on the video rental shelf!
Hatchet
When I saw Machete in the theater back in August they played a metric ass ton of trailers, they always do! After the trailers they played their little theater introduction and then low and behold, another trailer. This one was a little different though, it had that Grindhouse feel to it just like Machete a few years back. It showed a monster of a man, the so-called new icon in horror Victor Crowley, absolutely destroying a bunch of people who had no idea that death stood right around the corner. I looked at my friend and said "it's a shame that's just a fake trailer, Hatchet 2 looks like it would be great!" But why did they skip right to number 2, where was the original. A few weeks later I saw a listing for Hatchet 2 at that same theater, it was real... even though it only lasted a week on the big screen! So I had to seek out Hatchet and find out what all the hype was about.
