Break out the valium, cuz here comes good ol’ Hanger! Hanger (Nathan Dashwood) is an ultra-deformed, survived back alley abortion raised to adulthood by a lunatic of a homeless mother fucker… though his honest-to-jizzum pappy soon reapers to usher his beloved son back into society… or what passes for it in his world (think a populace comprised of horny huge-breasted women, even huger seafood, and a whole mess of vicious violence)! Anyhow, once back on the scene, Hanger befriends the equally repulsive Russell (Wade Gibb), a real knee-slapper of a mother fucker (seriously, some of this cat’s dialog is absolutely priceless) who’s tastes run towards microwaved puppies and tampon tea (Celestial Seasonings Blend-Masters take note!) What could these lunatics get up to you may ask? Softcore porn and some revenge-based shenanigans mostly… though Hanger has a life goal of eating a baby, so there’s that too… it’s all an absolute, completely rude mess, but what a monstrous mess it is!

Amy Marlowe (Caroline Williams, of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) is getting the boot from her late-night heavy metal radio show, Ten Minutes to Midnight after 30 years on WLST radio… which will doubtless come as a huge surprise to her as the sleazy station manager, Bob (William Youmans), has decided to keep it all a secret until the night of. You know what else probably surprised Amy? The fact that she was bitten on the neck by a rabid bat on the way to work. I know that would raise my fuckin’ eyebrows… Causing our heroine even more static is the bright young recent graduate Sienna (Nicole Kang) whom Bob forces on her as a job shadow… but it’s obvious she is to be Amy’s replacement. Speaking of Sienna, Amy straight-up bites her ass (well her hand to be precise, but you cats n’ creeps know what I mean… ) after a disastrous show, after which she eats a

Seemingly all of Denmark is balls deep into the finals of the nondescript European Championships. Speaking of “games”, our heroine, the studious Agnes (Anne Bergfeld), is hoping for an easy night at the gas station in which she works… since everyone should be home watching feet colliding with balls, as previously established, but wouldn’t you just know it, things become a bit more hectic for our heroine and her co-worker, Belinda (Karin Michelsen) as they soon find themselves besieged by intense folks coming through those damned doors all night long… and as is so often the case, Agnes soon finds herself at the (not so) tender mercies of a sadistic, greasepaint adorned Ringmaster (Damon Younger) and his torture-porn emporium! Let’s look at the positive aspects of this film before I slam you with what’s wrong here… In the hands of co-writer/director Søren Juul Petersen and his co-writer Carsten Juul Bladt (working from a novel by Steen Langstrup, The Ringmaster has

Plot This book is such a great zombie story! A new idea, a scary idea, and a very terrifying possibility. We love, trust, and baby our pets…but what happens when they turn into zombies? It’s so simple, but Ellie Douglas has really dug in and revealed what would happen in her gore-filled novel Hounded. I love the plot and I love how Douglas has taken something so uncomplicated and universal and made it into an extremely dark and twisted story. The plot moves forward quickly and the story works along with all the gore and violence. While this is new take on the world of zombies, much like other zombie stories, it explores human nature…the sickest parts of human nature. The animals are the villains, but the humans are the enemies. Characters For me personally, one of the most important elements of a zombie story is the characters. How invested in the doomed characters and I and how much do

Down Serbia way, a dude keeps doing the wakey-wakey bag in town square and immediately gets ventilated by a mysterious cadre of well-dressed masked gunman. Then he wakes up and has to do that shit over, and over, and even mother fuckin’ over, and peep this, he gets closer to solving the mystery of his demise with each go around! Making good use of that aforementioned square (although our hero gets further away with each dose of the ol’ murder biz, we always go back to that central location), Incarnation, the debut feature from Filip Kovacevic (who also co-wrote the film with Masa Senicic and Ivan Senicic) is a tense, fast-paced mystery that will have your ass on the eerie edge of your seat from start to finish! Sure we’ve seen flicks like this before (Groundhog Day immediately comes to mind… though that one is a damn sight lighter than this nail-biter), but this picture has so many interesting angles

My dude Finn (Sam Richardson) has just taken on the role of forest ranger in Beaverfield… a rural town crucial to the plans of Sam Parker (Wayne Duvall), an oil tycoon that wants to run his pipe straight through B-field’s sweet spot! This has the populace at odds and on edge, and an encroaching storm and a growing number of dead bodies aren’t helping matters. Soon Finn and local mail-person Cecily (Milana Vayntrub) are balls deep in the murder biz as they try and suss out just who… or more precisely, what… is behind these savage attacks! I’ll say one thing about Werewolves Within… it sure as shit has a literal ass-load of heart! Every character, even the real shit-heels are presented as pretty damn likable… or ridiculous… or an unholy combination of the two, and the actors present truly give it everything they have (special shout out to leads Richardson and Vayntrub who have undeniable chemistry and miles of

It’s a fact, horror-comedies are hit and miss, most often, they’re a miss. But every once in a while, one nails it, think Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil and Shaun of the Dead. I am happy to report that I have come across a movie that should be added to that list, Werewolves Within. I can definitely see it becoming a quick classic. From director Josh Ruben and writer Mishna Wolff (LOL Wolff, how appropriate.) comes a twisted tale of a small, secluded town that is about to find itself at the mercy of a beast. Finn, the new forest ranger arrives in town and soon he and the new postal worker, Cecily, find themselves locked in a house filled with insane neighbors who are all trying to survive a brutal killer, a werewolf. While the movie is bloody, gory, and filled with death, it’s a blast to watch as the clues begin to pile up leading them to the

Writer/director Brian Patrick Butler’s Friend of the World is a surreal take on postapocalyptic horror and science fiction. It’s like an extended episode of the original The Twilight Zone television series if Rod Serling or Charles Beaumont or the like accidentally ingested a mind-altering substance, or if pages from the treatments of Dr. Strangelove, Night of the Living Dead, and Apocalypse Now all got dropped on the floor and then hurriedly gathered together and mixed up. Experimental filmmaker Diane (Alexandra Slade) wakes up in a room where she seems to be the only living person, as the floor is littered with dead bodies. After attempts to escape, she wakes up to see the shaving cream-lathered face of General Gore (Nick Young), a crusty, grizzled military member. Though the two are quite opposite in attitudes, they must work together to survive as they traverse through the bunker in which they are currently located. Butler’s mostly black-and-white film often feels like a

Summer is right around the corner and that means BBQs, Pool Parties, Starry Night Campfires, and locking yourself in your bedroom with the AC going full blast weather is on its way! With all that, and with restrictions lifting, it means we can get together with friends again and share a drink to cool off… unless you have a sophisticated palate and enjoy a nice scotch in the evening while reading a book like myself, there’s a problem, you want to keep your drink cool without using ice. I hear someone yelling “Use whiskey stones!”, not for me thank you! Many people use whiskey stones, but why use rocks to keep my drink cold when I can have some help of the cryptid variety that is unique as me (and all of you!), ladies and gentleman, I present to you, the Scotch Ness Monster by Cocktail Critters! This unique whiskey stone is shaped like the famous Loch Ness Monster with

Plot With Doctor Cushing out hunting down other mysteries and horrors, his museum is being taken care of by his twin daughters, Topaz and Opal. The premise of this plot is pretty simple, but that is a good thing! Author Stephen D. Sullivan takes this simple plot and creates a wonderful adventure into a love affair with horror. This novel feels like a loving tribute to all the classic horror monsters we know and love…werewolves, vampires, a wax museum and more. Sullivan obviously has a love of horror and that is obvious throughout this whole plot. Not only is a tribute to the classics, but it is a plot that stands alone and is an utterly entertaining adventure. Characters I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Obviously with Topaz and Opal being the main characters, the spotlight is really on them. They have a wonderful sister dynamic that is both realistic and entertaining. With the terrors they go through
