Movie Review: Vampire Dad (2020)

After a fantastic opening that is the unholy blend of Lichtenstein by way of E.C. Comics we get down to brass tacks with Vampire Dad… Psychologist Dr. Raymond Walenski (Jackson Hurst) is the ultimate early ’60’s father figure; a great husband and father with an ideal suburban lifestyle… but that goes to shit right quick when he’s turned into a bloodsuckin’ fang-banger thanks to the beastly bite of Victoria, the Goddess of the Underworld (Sarah Palmer)! Now that he’s a full-fledged creature of the night, Doc Walenski is offered the position of therapist to the monsters of the world by vicious Victoria; and soon he’s balls deep in the neurotic n’ demonic denizens of the midnight hour… a fact that Walenski’s wife tries to keep from family and neighbor’s alike! If you ever wished The Addams’ Family had a dash more Ozzie and Harriet and a pinch of The Bob Newhart Show then Vampire Dad is the picture for you!

Movie Review: Celebrity Crush (2019)

Man, ol’ John Blakely (Oliver Robins of Poltergeist fame… who incidentally directed and wrote this here bad bitch) has it tough as he has to live life being well-known for starring in a stalk n’ slay flick, Chain Face Clown by name, as a terror tyke, being asked to sign things like blu-rays and such, and using his fame to try and use his celeb status to get hot n’ horny with the dames. Well, that last one kinda backfires when Johnny B. does the sexual fuckings with Emily (Alissa Schneider) who turns out to be his greatest fan… and by “greatest” I mean “murderously obsessive“. This equals some really fuckin’ bad news for anyone that attempts to get in the way of the imaginary thing she and J-Dawg have percolatin’, and will make it a tad dicey for our hero to (attempt) escape from the clutches of this lascivious lunatic! The monstrous meat and putrid potatoes of Celebrity Crush

Movie Review: Wretch (2019)

Nat Harris (Martin L. Washington Jr.), recently sober, is about to rethink that posish as without the booze he begins to see all of the harrowing hallucinations that have plagued his ass for years. Along with that, Nat’s boyfriend Adam has got the full-blown cancer, and is positive he’s going to buy the farm despite Nat’s protestations. Enter: Jean Alexander (Shannon Conley) who owns the hippy-dippy vegan restaurant where Nat works. Speaking of ol’ Joltin’ Jean, she believes our hero has spiritual gifts, and should learn the occult healing juju she’s balls deep into, which is taught by ol’ mystic Pete (Joe Rooney). Long story short; Nat hits the sauce, decides to takes Jean up on her offer, and goes full-on seizure mode in Jean’s basement altar… which is as creepy as it sounds. Soon Nat and Jean press on, and with Pete’s help travel the road of suburban basement majik that results in a drug-fueled world of surreal insanity…

Movie Review: Horror Movie: A Low Budget Nightmare (2017)

Director Craig Anderson is like a lot of us… a middle-aged man who hasn’t given up the dream of making his own fright flick. So he leaves his television gig and actually makes a film; 2016’s Red Christmas (which I reviewed in another life right here); a lil’ ditty about an aborted fetus that lives, grows up and decides to get sweet revenge on mommy dearest come Yuletide. Now you may say; “Why in the unholy fuck would I give two generous shits about the making of a film I (probably) never saw?” The answer to that is simple; “Because you need to see the absolute hell filmmaking can be if you aren’t properly prepared.” The main area that unpreparedness shows is in the budgeting of the film… Anderson’s budget, meager to begin with, continues to grow, and he has to bust ass and make many a sacrifice (including totally sucking the teat of his life savings dry as a
