Mr. HoleHead’s Warped Dimension Review: Flesh City (2019)
Before I kick of this revoltin’ review, let me state that if you are negatively effected by rapid strobing light and images, you may want to avoid this film. The basics of Flesh City goes as follows: Vyren (Christian Serritiello) meets Loquette (Eva Ferox) in a Berlin industrial nightclub, get a dude named Cyril (Shaun Lawton) right pissed over a video game, then decide it would be a shit hot idea to explore the club’s basement. Is that what kids are into these days? Weirdos… Speaking of weird, there is some sort of magic crystal down there that can open a gate… oh and our heroes are menaced by Prof. Yagov (Arthur Patching) and his fuckin’ robot. Vyren takes a powder from all this lunacy, but there is no way he’s gettin’ out of this nuthouse intact; to wit. he’s beginning to mutate, and if Yagov has his way, the entire city will follow suit! As you may have guessed,

Game Review: ‘Kingdoms Of Amalur: Re-Reckoning’
THQ Nordic again came through and gave me the opportunity to give the remastered version of a past hit of EA’s, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning a try. The original RPG fantasy came out in 2012 and was praised highly by critics but today, I’ll be checking out THQ’s Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning! In this game, you play as a hero who started off dead but because of an experiment, was brought back to life! You awaken to a world that’s at war pitting mortals and immortals against one another and because your fate has yet been decided, you’re caught up in the middle of it. Now onto the game itself! When it comes to controls they’re easy to get a hold of and the tutorial helps a lot in the beginning and the manual on the main menu is a lifesaver. Wish I could say the same for the camera controls which are, sorry to be blunt, trash as it

Mr. HoleHead’s Warped Dimension Review: Troma’s Mutant Blast (2018)
Para-military bad-ass Maria (Maria Leite) frees science experiment TS-347 (Joaquim Guerreiro); a man with superhuman strength…and as a result an entire military complex and their zombies (though that word is taboo in this pic my creeps!) are after their asses but good! Enter: Pedro (Pedro Barão Dias), a real party animal cum ambition deficient dude that is ill prepared for the apocalypse of shambling dead he’s about to find himself balls deep in. Thankfully he has ol’ M-dawg to pull his fat out of the fuckin’ fire! Anyway, our heroes attempt to survive an onslaught of monsters as they journey to a safe haven…which is only complicated by the introduction of a nuclear bomb into the manic mix…not to mention those pesky mutations! Now this is what I’m talking about boils n’ ghouls! Mutant Blast takes the dog-tired “zombie apocalypse” formula and gives it a swift kick in the balls…and the resulting vomit and ejaculate makes for one hell of

Movie Review: Fear Pharm (2020)
Hershel (John Littlefield) offers a gaggle of teens a fabulous cash prize if they make it through his lil’ ol’ corn maze in two hours time. Seems like easy money… except Hershel is a psycho killer qu’est-ce que c’est, and so are his hulking brutish sons and freak-ass daughter (Aimee Stolte), and as you lot well and truly know; the family that slays together stays together… and those teens are number one on their “must kill” list! Thankfully for this fright flick, those teens; Brandon (Houston Stevenson), Wendy (Emily Sweet), Rustin (Chris Leary), and Melanie (Tiana Tuttle) by name, are a damn personable crowd, so we actually give a fuck or two whether they make it through the ordeal with all of their various pieces intact. Also of note is the excellent mounting tension this flick provides. Things move at a brisk pace, and the stalk n’ slay games keep you on the edge of your seat, and that sprawling
