Movie Review: Incredible Violence (2018)

G. Patrick Condon (Stephen Oates) is a frisky filmmaker who ended up blowing the 200k jackpot wad he scored from some shady AF “investors” that was supposed to be used to make a film… but sure as shit was fuckin’ not. Since he is a veritable font of right shit ideers, our main man G. Pat decides to go right ahead and make the film for zero dollars in a classic example of “Operation: Save Ass”. In short, he becomes the villain in his own fright flick and makes a found footage style fracas where the neophyte actors involved have no idea they are intended to die for real on the sinful silver screen. One lil’ problem; our “hero” truly sucks at murder, and soon some of the cast get wise to the goings-on and the fat of ol’ G. is well and truly in the fire. Incredible Violence works for a number of reasons. What, you were actually expecting

Blu-ray Review: John Carpenter’s Vampires (1998)

Jack Crow (James Woods) leads a team of hard-livin’ vampire killers (seriously they dig on hookers and booze as much as ending the undead existence of fang-bangers) who excel at what they do… so much so they attract the attention of a recently resurrected vampire lord (Thomas Ian Griffith), Jan Valek by name, who begins acting bloody revenge. His team ripped to shreds, Crow and his second-in-command Montoya (Daniel Baldwin), along with a newly vampiric hooker named Katrina (Sheryl Lee), attempt to stop Valek from retrieving a holy doo-dad that’ll give those beastly bloodsuckers the ability to walk in the sunlight while seeking vengeance for their fallen comrades. Some people say ol’ John Carpenter made great flicks in the 80’s, then sort of lost his touch… people say a lot of wrong things. Sure there were some rough patches here and there (1995’s Village of the Damned remake and 1996’s Escape From L.A. were fun but had their faults), but

Movie Review: MidSommar

Ari Aster’s 2018’s acclaimed horror Hereditary made a huge impact with critics and audiences alike, so when I heard about his next film MidSommar I was more than excited and hopeful that he could continue his winning streak. Of course, the trailer for the film is creepy as hell, but it did not prepare me for what I saw when I finally sat down to watch the film. For three hours after I watched it last night, I sat in bed with the film’s events swimming in my head, in shock. Where to start? First let me say the film, as brutal as it is, it is simply stunning. Bright brilliant colors filled MidSommer, a palette the complete opposite of Hereditary. Everything is beautiful, even the gore is, in a strange way. The cinematography is absolutely incredible. Beauty and brutality go hand in hand in the film. As for gore, there is a ton of it and the term brutal

Tony Todd Is Reprising His Role As Candyman!

Principle photography began a month ago on the new Jordan Peele-produced installment of the Candyman franchise. While the lead role will be played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (US, Aquaman), fans have been awaiting news who will be playing the Candyman. We reported back in May that Tony Todd would be returning but it was not known in what capacity. Now, it appears Todd, who made the character a horror icon, will be returning as the man with the hook. The news came today and though it has not been confirmed by MGM, Bloody-Disgusting says they trust their sources when they say Todd will reprise his role. Described as a spiritual sequel, the film is being directed by Nia DaCosta and was co-written and produced by Peele, based on characters by Clive Barker. Teyonah Parris, Colman Domingo, and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett co-star in the film that will return to the neighborhood where the legend began, where Cabrini-Green housing projects once stood. Candyman
