     I absolutely love getting movies in for review.  I never know what to expect when I head to the post office.  I get a lot of different movies in for review from several companies and a lot of time I never know what they are sending over.  A few days ago I checked the mail and saw a package from my friends over at Epic Pictures.  When I ripped into the packaging I saw that they had sent me over the 2019 Chilean horror film La Casa on blu for review.  I was unaware that this movie excited prior to this release but I was familiar with the loose series of film sharing the same title from the 80s that were also known as Ghosthouse, Witchery, and so on.  I was very curious about this one and couldn't wait to dig into it.  Thank you Epic Pictures for sending this one over!

     The film follows a police office that is responding to a call at a residence.  He enters the home and soon finds himself terrorized by evil spirits in the home.  

     I didn't know what to expect when I tossed La Casa in and hit play but I really enjoyed it.  It's a simple yet effective film that I could see myself watching again and again without tiring of it.  It has amazing atmosphere, some great tension, and the story was just enough to hold your attention.  The acting in this one is mostly a one man show.  Canas carries the entire film as the panicked and tortured officer and delivers a very grounded and enjoyable performance.  The ghosts and so forth are solid but Canas is front and center the entire film.  The story for this one is so fucking simple but the way it was done makes it so compelling that the viewer gets pulled in just to see this poor man suffer.  I found myself completely enthralled by this simple and quickly done story.  The atmosphere and tension only adds to this one's simple brilliance.  At barely an hour this film is not a waste of time and uses it's time wisely.  Finally, this film has some blood but the focus of the film is the ghosts the character encounters.  Some use make-up effects while others uses a blend of make-up and visuals.  I really liked the way these looked and it only added to the eerie vibe of the entire film.  Overall, La Casa may be a slow burn for some of you but I really enjoyed it.  It's a well made and fun horror film that is able to craft up some creepy atmosphere and tension.  Pick this release up from Epic Pictures because you will not be disappointed.

     Shudder has really been impressing me the last year or so.  I was skeptical about the streaming service but after reviewing a dozen or so of their originals and exclusives I decided to give them a go.  Their selections of genre films is really impressive and I'm still keeping an eye out for all their physical releases.  A few weeks ago I received the press release for Jay Baruchel's Random Acts of Violence.  I had seen some of my horror friends mention it previously so I couldn't wait to check it out.  I reached out to RLJE and they were kind enough to send a copy my way for review.  Thanks guys!

     The film follows a comic writer and his girlfriend who takes a trip to search for some inspiration for an ending to his comic series Slasherman.  The comic series is inspired by a series of murders from sometime ago so he is visiting the area, his hometown, to help him write his ending.  However, someone is following him and committing murders directly inspired by his comics sticking him in the middle of a hellish nightmare that he has created.

     I was really curious to see a horror flick from comedian Jay Baruchel.  I've always enjoyed his comedies and thought of him as an underrated actor so it was cool seeing him tackle my favorite genre.  I really enjoyed this one but it wasn't as wild as many of my horror friends had lead me to believe.  It was a lot like VFW.  It was brutal but the kills couldn't hold the story.  The acting in this one is fantastic.  Jesse Williams is phenomenal in the lead.  I remember him from Cabin in the Woods and liked him there but here he really shines.  I also liked Baruchel in a serious role.  I've watched him in comedies for years and it was great seeing him tackle a more serious role.  With that being said, I just wasn't feeling Jordana Brewster in her role.  Her scenes where she is under distress or terrified just felt so forced.  Her performance is by far the weakest and a lot of the scenes just doesn't feel like she had her heart in the right place.  The story for this one is pretty straight forward and the twist is predictable but it was still entertaining.  The comic writer telling a series of murders, that are inspired by real life murders, and then discovers that the murders he depicts in his comics are happening around him is a pretty fun spin on a slasher film.  The twist that the film hints to through is a bit predictable so it doesn't have the impact that Baruchel was expecting but the rest of the story is still pretty fun.  With that being said, there is a lot of slow paced scenes that does drag the film down at times.  Finally, the film has some pretty brutal and violent deaths with some pretty amazing practical effects.  The kills are swift and very memorable with some amazing practical effects.  I was really fascinated with the "art" created out of the bodies.  The effects department did a phenomenal job here.  Overall, Random Acts of Violence is one for those of you looking for the blood.  Fans of VFW will enjoy this one due to the amount of amazing practical effects but the story is a little lacking at times.  I enjoyed it and I'm glad Shudder had their hands on it.

     Several months back I reviewed the 2017 horror documentary Penny Pinchers from filmmaker Dustin Ferguson.  It was a pretty entertaining documentary with a lot of great interviews with some legends in the indie horror community.  When I was writing my review for the doc I noticed that Ferguson had made a sequel focused on underground filmmakers.  The DVD release wasn't available at the time but since then Ferguson has released it as a double feature with the original.  I snagged it when it was available and after watching Stale Popcorn I figured another horror documentary would be fun.  

     The documentary focuses on indie filmmakers that make genre films that go against the trends.  We have interviews from filmmakers and effects artists like Markus Koch, Sean Donohue, Jason Paul Collum, Tony Newton, Chris Woods, and Jason Impey to name a few.

     The first Penny Pinchers documentary stands out because we are getting interviews and insight from filmmakers that usually go overlooked by other documentary filmmakers.  Docs like Eli Roth's History of Horror and Cursed Films focuses on movies that have huge followings with extremely dedicated fans.  These films have been put through the ringer and examined under a microscope by horror fans.  It's because of this that these films and the behind the scenes stories are common knowledge now.  Penny Pinchers put a spotlight on no budget filmmakers that have their have their own dedicated fan base but don't fit in with the mainstream.  Penny Pinchers 2 took it a step farther by interviewing indie filmmakers that have been involved with the underground or extreme horror community.  The interviews we have here are not as in-depth as I would have like but still informative.  The focus, from my understanding, was underground directors.  When horror fans hear the word underground horror they expect to see films that push the boundaries of what horror is which is where the term extreme horror comes from.  Some of the filmmakers here are not what I would call underground filmmakers but they are penny pinchers in a sense so that makes sense they were here.  However, I think a few could have been removed for a possible sequel with more time for the underground filmmakers to talk more about their films, struggles, and so on.  The topics discussed are rather chaotic and in no order.  We pretty much bounce from filmmaker to filmmaker with little to no organization.  I would have loved to see this one approach single topics at a time like money, drama, casting, success, and so forth.  It would have made it a lot easier to follow and way more enjoyable.  Finally, the editing in this one is smooth and the transitions work.  It's not a jumbled mess like some of the other indie docs I had seen but I didn't expect anything less from Ferguson.  Overall, Penny Pinchers 2 is a blast.  Some real legends are finally getting some much needed notice with this and I seriously hope Ferguson gives us another installment with more indie filmmakers.  Check it out.

    Most of my reviews come from movies that are sent my way for review.  In fact, I would say a solid 90% of my reviews are movies sent to me for review.  However, there is that 10% that I review just because I'm genuinely curious about a film.  I can no longer watch a movie without reviewing it.  I have to talk about the movie I just watched.  A few weeks ago I was walking through Walmart when I saw the DVD release of The Curse of Hobbes House.  I had remembered the press release for this one sometime back and decided to snag it for the price.  After watching a few films from Dustin Ferguson I decided that now was the perfect time to give this one a spin.

     The film follows a down on her luck young woman living in her car when she receives a call that a distant relative has passed away leaving behind the house and property which she left to her.  However, her posh sister is also an heir to the property.  Hoping to cash in on the property she visits but soon finds herself face to face with an ancient evil when the undead start attacking the home in search of flesh.

     I was very curious about this one because the artwork and trailer really got my hopes up but just a few minutes into it I knew it was a snoozer.  I hate writing negative reviews because movies are the product of some one's hard work but The Curse of Hobbes House was extremely boring and difficult to finish.  The acting in this one is pretty solid.  The cast is fully dedicated to their roles but the characters are painfully bland and one dimensional.  The characters are cliched and at times they are just filling up the scene instead of carrying the story.  The story for this one is nothing we haven't seen before.  The film used a story we have seen a million times by this point since Night of the Living Dead with a little different origin story.  Here we follow a group of people fight off the undead in a farm house.  Literally the same story as NotLD.  However, the origins tracing back to a king and his lords was somewhat pretty entertaining but is forgotten after the opening animated sequence.  Finally, this is not a gory zombie flick that most genre fans are looking for.  We get some make-up effects and a few splashes of blood here and there but nothing that will stand out.  Overall, The Curse of Hobbes House tries to do what Roger Conner's Rebirth could.  It's not a fun or entertaining retelling of the Romero classic.  Instead, if borrows heavily from the story without contributing.  Skip it.

     I love when a filmmaker has fun with an idea to unleash a movie that completely catches us off guard.  Several years back I saw some horror friends sharing pictures of their Death Toilet DVD.  I didn't realize I needed that movie in my life until I saw these pictures.  I ran as fast as I could to SRS Cinema's webstore and ordered a copy.  I did the same a year later when I saw a sequel was out.  The first film was so much fun but the sequel was just more of the same.  I was on the fence when I saw that director Evan Jacobs had released a third film.  After a few days of thinking about it I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a copy.  I'm glad I did because this sequel was a return to the fun the first film delivered.  

     It has been some time since Brett Baxter has defeated the possessed toilets and lost his brother.  Now, he spends his time working on his truck while waiting for the evil shitters to return..which they do in more comedic fashion along with his deceased brother Father Dingleberry.  

     The first Death Toilet is full of cheap effects and immature humor which is exactly the kind of movies that I love.  I really enjoyed this one and recommended it to several horror fans since my original viewing.  Sadly, the sequel was the same film as the first which resulted is a bit of a boring watch.  It's because of this that made me skeptical of buying this one.  I'm glad I did, however, because this one was an absolute blast.  I loved it and can't wait for the fourth installment.  The acting in this one intentionally bad and I fucking love it.  The characters are all over the top and dramatic which brings in some of the film's humor.  The cast really has fun with their roles and it shows.  The story for this one is more of what was given to us in the first two films but we do get some sort of progression.  The film has some new jokes, plenty of puns, and the story takes us further than previously done.  With that being said, the film does slow down to a crawl at times which makes the movie feel a lot longer than it actually is.  Finally, the film has some blood with some no-budget effects and plenty of cheap visual effects but lets be honest, you don't toss in a movie called Death Toilet to see amazing gore.  Overall, Death Toilet III is fun and one I would highly recommend checking out with some friends and plenty of booze.  It's funny and cheap which is how I like my women.  Check it out, you will not be disappointed.

Rating (out of 5):

     Filmmaker Dustin Ferguson is a director that is hit or miss with me.  I could never question his dedication to the genre because he has spent the last year turning out some fairly clever films.  The downside to that is that he is filming with a small crew or having cast members mail him clips of the their scenes in order to prevent the spread of Covid.  This has resulted in some pretty rough movies.  With that being said, he has turned out some seriously fun horror documentaries as well. Because a documentary can be done with little to no contact with the person being interviewed Covid has not restrained filming of these.  After watching Arachnado I decided to dive into his grindhouse horror doc Stale Popcorn and Sticky Floors.  

     The documentary features interviews from actors, actresses, producers, directors, and effects artists from several genre classics like The Crazies, I Drink Your Blood, Spookies, The Slumber Party Massacre, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  

     The exploitation horror films of the 70s and 80s are some of the most memorable of the decade and because of this there has been numerous documentaries and so forth based on most of these films.  In fact, most of these movies were covered in shows like Searching for Darkness, Eli Roth's History of Horror, American Nightmares, and so forth.  Hell, Spookies had it's own feature length documentary released with the blu release of the film last year.  It's nothing we haven't heard before but it was still fun for a one time watch.  The interviews in this one covers the entire film being discussed but the issue I have with this is that each film is being represented by just one person.  Each person interviewed discusses one particular film, aside from one or two people, which makes for a one sided look into that.  As I stated before, Spookies has a feature length documentary made about the film which goes to great lengths to show the viewer how the film became the way it is.  However, in this film we just have a one-sided look at the film.  If we are listening to interviews about particular films it would be nice if we had multiple people share their experience with the making of said film.  The topics in this documentary change from person to person.  There is no real order to the interviews and what is discussed like most documentaries have.  Instead, we move from person to person as they discuss the films that were apart of that was considered grindhouse horror.  However, I'm still confused as to how Halloween III: Season of the Witch is considered a grindhouse horror title.  Finally, the editing in this one is smooth enough but the lack of order to the interviews doesn't really leave enough room for any kind of transitions.  We just jump from person to person as they tell their story.  Overall, Stale Popcorn and Sticky Floors is a solid horror doc.  It doesn't bring about any new real history to some of our beloved films but it's cool seeing some familiar faces talk about our favorite films again.  Check it out.

     Last year was rough for a lot of filmmaker but one indie director that was able to turn the pandemic into a creative outlet.  Dustin Ferguson, the director behind the horror documentary Penny Pinchers, took the pandemic and social distancing guidelines in strides working on film after film while staying six feet apart and protecting his cast and crew.  Over the course of the year he was able to release 5G Zombies, Ebola Rex, Angry Asian Murder Hornets, Stale Popcorn and Sticky Floors, and Arachnado just to name a few.  He was hard at work for this year and a lot of his titles made big splashes on the site when I shared the artwork and trailers.  Sometime back he announced that Arachnado was available on DVD so I quickly snagged a copy to review. 

     The film takes place in L.A. when a series of cyclones tears through the city.  Along the way they bust through a science lab where it picks up a genetically mutated spider.  The spider lays eggs in the cyclone and soon the baby spiders are flying all over L.A. creating havoc.  

     Ebola Rex and Angry Asian Murder Hornets were tough films to sit through.  I can appreciate Ferguson's desire and passion to make films during the pandemic but the social distancing and so forth has really created a tough situation for filmmakers to film.  It's because of this that these films consist of one or two cast members delivering their lines in a strange and awkward scene with the entire film consisting of these random scenes strung together.  Arachando is more of this which resulted in another movie that was tough to finish.  The acting in this one is very inconsistent.  Some of the scenes has a few cast members in them so the cast has someone else to interact with.  These scenes were not so bad.  However, the scenes that just feature one of the cast members going about their own business is severely awkward to watch and has a very unintentional funny reaction from the viewer.  I don't know if Ferguson watched the video back once he receives it but these scenes are tough to sit through.  The story for this one is Spider-Man meets Sharknado with very little meat on the bone.  As I stated earlier, the film consists of random scenes with single cast members for the most part who act out their dialogue and so forth.  It's then editing together with the other scenes which creates a rather chaotic and uneven film.  I understand that because of covid and the risk of exposing the cast that this is the only way the movie could be filmed but maybe waiting would have been the best choice.  Finally, we get plenty of low quality visual effects and blurry spider action.  However, if you are looking for some fun practical effects you will be very disappointed.  Overall, Arachnado was a huge miss for me.  I live for movies like this and I hate to be negative about a film that was made during one of the worst years most of us has ever lived through but the way this had to be made resulted in one rough movie.  I can't recommend this one.  Skip it.

     As I migrated my way through the Vinegar Syndrome VSA release of Vice Academy 1 - 3 I assumed that the first film would be fun while the second film would be watchable and the third would be the worst film in the bunch.  I was wrong.  The first film was great and the follow up was just as fun, if not better, than the original.  I was still expecting the third to be a shit show but I was surprised by how much fun it was.  All three were great and very consistent.  

     The film follows Holly (Lynn) and Didi's cousin Candy (Kaitan) who are on the vice squad when a group of female prisoners known as the Bad Apples escape from prison.  They go on a robery spree which has stretched the vice squad thin.  It's up to them two to stop them before they pull off anymore heists.  

     I really was expecting this one to be the worst in the series but these three are very consistent and fun.  The films all follow similar stories but they still entertain almost like a late 70s or early 80s television show.  They always follow the same formula but the characters are why you watch them.  The acting in this one is the same as the other films.  Lynn has a much bigger role in this one than previous films.  Her character is still the by the book and brown nosing but it's not as a turn off as the previous films.  It's toned down a lot and way more enjoyable.  Linnea Quigley is replaced in this one with Elizabeth Kaitan who I really enjoy watching.  She is a very underrated actress and has been in some seriously fun films.  Genre fans should really enjoy seeing her in this one.  The supporting cast is just as fun as the previous film.  The story for this one is exactly as the previous film.  It has some funny moments that I wasn't expecting but the story is almost identical to part 2.  It's fun but I can see some cult movie fans becoming bored by this point.  I wasn't expecting a life changing experience so I can appreciate what this one delivers.  Finally, no blood yet again but if you want to see Elizabeth Kaitan topless then you are in luck!  Overall, Vice Academy Part 3 is a fun yet predictable experience.  I really enjoyed it and Vin Syn did an amazing job with this release.  If you come across a copy I highly suggest you snag it.

     I was expecting a lot when I snagged up the Vinegar Syndrome VSA release of Vice Academy 1-3.  I wanted the release for my collection but the fact that the set consisted of three films I had never heard of before lead me to believe that these were pretty bland and forgettable films.  I was wrong.  The first film was not original but it was very entertaining.  I couldn't wait to dig into the second to see if it continued down the same path as the first film.  

     The film follows Holly (Lynn) and Didi (Quigley) who has graduated vice academy and is now rookies on the force.  A woman has created a drug that sends the person into sexual overload before dying.  She plans on poisoning everyone in the city.  In order to stop her the two rookies go undercover as strippers.

     I went into this one really expecting the movie to be less entertaining as the first but I found myself really enjoying this one a little more.  It's far from perfect but this one was a little more funnier, sleazier, and has a little more depth than the first film.  I really liked it and could see myself spinning this one again in the near future.  The acting in this one is more of what we saw in the first film except the characters has a little more personality.  Quigley and Lynn was rather underwhelming in the previous film with Lynn taking the backseat for most of the film.  However, the two share the screen and their friction and personalities on screen were great.  I really enjoyed them much more this time around.  The supporting cast seemed to get a little pep in their step as well.  The secondary and supporting characters hold the film as well.  The story for this one is very similar to the first film but we get a little more build up and character development with the film's villain.  This makes the film that is using the same formula as the first feel like it's a little different.  It doesn't really deliver anything new but seeing the characters get extra attention makes it far more entertaining.  Finally, this is not a bloody horror flick that most of you are accustomed to me reviewing.  However, if beautiful women and nudity is more your speed then you will really enjoy this one.  Overall, Vice Academy Part 2 is a little better film than the first.  It's funnier and sleazier.  The blu looks great as well from Vin Syn.  I highly recommend checking it out.

     I grew up watching movies with Linnea Quigley.  Her most infamous films were my favorites.  Movies like Night of the Demons, Return of the Living Dead, and Silent Night Deadly Night.  She is the face of scream queens in my opinion and her career is full of amazing films and performances.  Adult film star Ginger Lynn exploded in the 80s.  She starred in several adult films before moving over to other genres, specifically horror.  Now a days most genre fans know her from Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects.  In the late 80's Quigley and Lynn teamed up with director Rick Sloane for a sleazy buddy cop comedy called Vice Academy.  I had never seen this film, or any in the series as a matter a fact, but I jumped on Vinegar Syndrome VSA release.  I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed these films.

    The film follows a group of students at a vice academy who are working on hitting their quota of arrests before graduating.  They get a tip on an illegal porn operation and infiltrate it.  However, because of them posed nude prior to the arrest it doesn't count toward their quotas.  Looking for a quick bust before their time runs out they soon find themselves face to face with Queen B, the leader of an organized crime ring, that has been evading police capture for some time.  Their quick thinking and some help from some friends they are able to capture her and her gang so they can graduate.  

     I had never heard of Vice Academy prior to Vin Syn's announcement but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that it was inspired by Police Academy.  Police Academy is one of the most iconic comedy series to come out of the 80s so I was pretty excited to see the director of The Visitors was tacking on a comedy inspired by it.  Honestly, it's nowhere near as the film series that inspired it but I had fun with it.  The acting in this one is extremely cheesy and the entire cast hams it up.  Quigley is her normal bubbly self.  She has a lot of energy and does a solid enough job.  Sadly, her character does not really stand out among some of the other characters and her performance does blend in at times.  Lynn as a brown nosing suck up wasn't as entertaining as I was expecting.  Lynn, adult films aside, has delivered some seriously impressive performances over the years but she is extremely underwhelming here.  The supporting cast is solid as well but no one is really standing out.  The story for this one rather repetitive and unoriginal.  It does have some funny moments and a little sleazy to carry you through.  It's not original but it is fun at times at least for a first time watch.  Finally, if you want blood and gore you will be very disappointed.  However, if beautiful women, handcuffs, and puns are your thing then you will be in heaven.  Overall, Vice Academy is a funny and sexy comedy that lacks originality but it's fun.  This is definitely worth a watch and the blu from Vin Syn looks amazing.  Check it out.
