Movie Review: 4/20 Massacre is an Impressive Modern Slasher Flick!

I usually find stoner flicks to be absolutely dreadful, pandering, horsecrap of the highest order…like I’d rather have hepatitis of the asshole than watch one. So imagine my absolute delight when 4/20 Massacre darkened my doorstep… The story of 4/20 Massacre goes as follows: 5 young ladies head out into the woods over the 4/20 “holiday” to celebrate their friend Jess’ (played by the ever-welcome Jamie Bernadette giving another kick-ass performance) birthday. Upon arrival they are given a dire warning from the local Forest Ranger (a tour de force performance from James Storm) to stick to the trails and avoid the hill country which is home to some hard-ass pot farmers…like of the murderous variety. Being the experienced woodspeople that they are, the women get lost almost immediately, and have a run in with a shell-shocked dude that escaped one of those said hard-asses mentioned a sentence ago. Regardless of the now double douse of “stay the fuck out of

‘Monster Goat’ In Viral Video Is No Monster

During the last 24/48 hours, a video went viral on the internet showing what looks like a nightmarish spawn that was the result of a from a Lovecraft story and a fever dream going home together from the bar. Yes, the video is in fact real. No, it’s no monster or freak of nature; it’s a goat, a normal goat. I know, I can hear some of you now, “What’s normal about that?!” well, first of all, it’s an actual breed of goat called the Damascus Goat. It goes by many names like the Aleppo, Halep, Baladi, Damascene, Shami, or Chami. They’re a goat breed found in Syria, Cyprus, and Lebanon and are highly valued. The Damascus is bred for its milk which is used to make cheese, meat, and hides. Think of them as the cows of their region, these goats aren’t little either, they grow to a decent size which makes them important, they even breed some for

An Update On New Line’s ‘Friday The 13th’ Reboot

Just as production was set to begin on a new Friday the 13th reboot from director Breck Eisner (The Crazies), the brakes were hit. Not much has been said about the situation, until now. Rights to the franchise are set to revert back to New Line sometime next year. But a lawsuit from the original film’s writer Victor Miller (interview) may cause problems for the studio. ArrowInTheHead.com recently talked with Platinum Dunes producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller about the situation. One of the biggest heartbreaks of the last couple years was that we were about to make that movie and it fell apart. That still hurts,” Fuller said. “The fans reach out to us; Andrew doesn’t really engage because he’s not on Twitter, but I am and I hear from the fans and that’s all they ask about. We get asked about that more than anything else.” He continued. “Fans think it’s so simple, that if we want to

Serial Killer Pedro Rodrigues Filho, The Real “Dexter”

You rarely see a good serial killer, but if you had to cheer one on it would probably be “Dexter”. You might be surprised to learn that there was a real serial killer that would give Dexter a run for his money. Meet Pedro Rodrigues Filho. Filho committed at least 70 murders. He started young, killing at least 10 by the age of 18. His choice of victims sets him apart from the crowd, he didn’t target the average person, instead, he went after other criminals and those he felt had wronged him. The killer, once described as the “perfect psychopath”, had a rough life from the moment he came kicking and screaming into this world. Born in 1954 in Gerais, Brazil, he was born with a head injury caused by the abuse his mother took while pregnant from his dad. He also suffered physical abuse from his father throughout his childhood. Filho’s first murder attempt was at 13 when

‘Boar’ Trailer Finally Released…And It Is Gory

The movie poster from the sure-to-be-gory film ‘Boar’ was just release, but now we have a trailer to go with it! The film will debut at the Brussels International Film Festival on April 13. One think I am most excited for (and it is very wonderfully obvious in the trailer) is the use of actual effects instead of CGI. That fact alone is enough for me to check out the film! In the harsh, yet beautiful Australian Outback lives a beast, an animal of staggering size, with a ruthless, driving need for blood and destruction. It cares for none, defends its territory with brutal force, and kills with a raw, animalistic savagery unlike any have seen before. Believed nothing more than a myth, a legend brought to life by a drunken local, the beast ventures closer to civilization, closer to life, and ultimately, closer to death. It’s brutal, it’s bloodthirsty… it’s Boar. ‘Boar’ stars Wolf Creek’s John Jarratt alongside Otis

Salt Mines Coming To ‘Friday The 13th : The Game’

First off, no, it’s not a new level. In fact, it’s a place players of the game DON’T want to go. The multiplayer-based game Friday the 13th: The Game has a group of players taking on the role of “councilors” at Camp Crystal Lake while another player is selected to be the behemoth masked killer Jason who hunts them down and kills them. Players can escape different ways from the camp only when they complete the right tasks to accomplish the chosen method of escape. Of course, like any other online game players deal with the second most despised online player gamers hate encountering, “the salty”. In gaming, “salty” describes a player who gets upset at losing or being out-played by another player this immediately then leads them to turn into the next type of gamer people hate encountering online, the rager. A “rager” is a player who is enraged who usually stays in a state of rage for the

“This Summer, Aisling Knight is hired for a job to die for.” Shot in a real haunted house in Oxfordshire, the blood-curdling spite spookfest The Sitter centers on Charlotte (Knight), a broke college student who gets a gig to house sit for an eccentric couple for a long weekend.

The Sitter arrives this June from Wild Eye Releasing.
