Movie Review: Eternal Code (2019)

It’s Ponce de Leon 2099 as a genetic research company type-o-deal has ciphered a way of prolonging human life… if you got the dough that is, dig? Naturally said company is as crooked as a dog’s hind leg, and the way they go about their research is what the scientific community labels “fuckin’ wrong as balls”. Fortunately, the company’s CEO Bridget Pellegrini (Erika Hoveland) is kinda “hell naw” on the whole affair, and she wants that shit to cease, pee-ronto. Well, her board of directors reacts to that like one would a fart in a submarine, and tries to get her to cool ‘er jets, as does the the man with the slick-as-shit name, Dr. Magnus (Yan Birch)… hell, even her hubs Mark (Billy Wirth) puts the guilt trip upon our harried heroine. Long story short; Bridget gets locked away by the company (as part of their Executive Kidnap Community Outreach Program) while Magnus and his assistant Nikita (Vida Ghaffari)

'Satanic Panic' Star Hayley Griffith Takes Us Inside The Hilarious Horror-Comedy

‘Satanic Panic’ Star Hayley Griffith Takes Us Inside The Hilarious Horror-Comedy

I sat down with delightful actress Hayley Griffith, star of the hilarious new horror comedy Satanic Panic. Hayley filled me in on how some scenes were shot and how hard it was to make the movie while trying to keep a straight face. You see, Satanic Panic is a hilarious, gore-filled flick that is a ton of fun. Hayley, who has also had roles in “The Mysteries of Laura” and “Law & Order SVU,” stars as Sam Craft, a young woman working her first night as a pizza delivery person. After a series of cheapskates, she is sent to a rich neighborhood. When she gets stiffed again, she goes to talk with the customer only to find herself in the middle of a satanic ritual, and she happens to be the virgin they need for the sacrifice. Horror Fuel: “Let me say, I really enjoyed Satanic Panic. It’s a fun flick. It got a five-star review from us.” Hayley Griffith:

Movie Review (GenreBlast Film Festival): Bloodsucker’s Planet (2019)

Bloodsucker’s Planet screened at GenreBlast, which ran at the Alamo Drafthouse in Winchester, Virginia, from August 29– September 1. Fans of space opera creature features such as The Green Slime (1968) and Mario Bava’s Planet of The Vampires (1965; an obvious influence here) are sure to find loads to love about writer/director/cinematographer/editor/producer Mark Beal’s outrageously fun new film Bloodsucker’s Planet. In the distant future, the spaceship Argosy picks up a distress signal from the planet Mara. Captain McDermott (Allen Menefee) decides to have his crew investigate, with everyone heading down to Mara except second-in-command Clarissa (Leni Mex), who remains aboard the ship. Doc (Joel Jeremy Herrera), Paulina (Adrienne Dobson), and Danvers (Logan Hooks) have a look-see, during which time Danvers comes into contact with a small creature that looks like a tentacled bat.

Movie Review: The Zombie Army (1991)

The Zombie Army begins the only way it could; with a maniac undergoing a radical classroom-based therapy sesh before being chucked back into the loony bin… which is immediately shut down by the government. While most of the patients and staff are moved to a new facility, the soldiers occupying the facility soon discover (thanks to some weed smokin’ grunts opening a top security room) that the most dangerous inmates now roam the halls and begin their mad murder spree… while also creating an army of zombies. Based on a true story… The Zombie Army is a prime slice of S.O.V. (shot on video for you novices out there) ghoulish goodness that truly displays a sense of “let’s put on a show no matter our skill level” aesthetic that is impossible to resist. This is the horror biz created by those that love it best; those that become so inspired by fright flicks that they simply pick up the family
