     I was only familiar with Rebane's film Blood Harvest and Rana prior to going into the Weird Wisconsin box set.  In fact, I had no idea he helmed Rana until I was on his imdb page working on my reviews for the previous films.  Though I only knew so little about him prior to this I still had heard about bad most of his films were.  His reputation aside, I actually had fun with The Alpha Incident, Invasion from Inner Earth, and The Demons of Ludlow.  Monster a Go-Go wasn't entirely bad but it's one I probably will never watch again.  The turning point in this set is 1984's The Game.  This movie was just a mess and, much like The Demons of Ludlow, feels like a made for television movie.  

     The film follows three wealthy people who run an annual competition inviting over a random assortment of people to stay in the mansion and see if they can last while the three scare the wits out of them.  The game has went smoothly for several years but this time around someone is killing the guests behind their backs.  

     The Game started out with the similar look of The Demons of Ludlow so I was really excited about that.  However, the film quickly went south with laughable acting, a chaotic story, and no pay off.  I feel like this may have been two stories that were quickly written together and rushed into development to get a movie out there.  Regardless, I don't see Twister's Revenge being this bad so this has to be the low point of the set.  The acting in this one is bad.  The fake southern draw, the laughable dialogue, the overreacting.  The cast has no direction and the scenes suffer from it.  I try to find something positive when I review a movie but there is nothing positive when it comes to the acting in this one.  The story for this one could have been an extremely fun one if the film would have went all in.  Instead, it's extremely messy and difficult to follow.  There is too many character arcs and the editing makes the movie jump around to the point it feels like you are watching episodes of a television show edited together.  Finally, the film has some creature effects that I enjoyed but if you want a bloody flick this is not for you.  The made for television look strikes again when it comes to the red stuff.  Overall, The Game is the bottom of the barrel so to speak.  It was a tough one to finish and by far the worst film in the set.  Skip it.

     When I started Weird Wisconsin I was really looking forward to The Demons of Ludlow.  This is one of the notoriously bad Bill Rebane flicks that I've seen others in the various horror groups bash for sometime now.  The artwork was fun for this one but I was really excited at digging into one of his mostly disliked films.  With that being said, when it was all said and done I actually enjoyed this one.  Sure, it was bad but I enjoyed it.

     The film follows the small town Ludlow who is cursed stemming back to when it was first founded during colonial times.  As the town celebrates their bicentennial the local preacher is hellbent on warning the people about the evil spirits that live in an old piano.

     The Demons of Ludlow felt like a made for television movie that gave me the same vibes as Mr. Boogedy.  It's cheap and cheesy as fuck but most of you know that this is the kind of movie that I really enjoy.  The aesthetics and horrible acting made for a fun experience that I truly enjoyed.  It's not going to be for everyone but if you like campy 80s horror then you wont find a campier 80s movie than The Demons of Ludlow.  The acting in this one was not as good as the previous films in the set.  The cast is very inconsistent.  They would deliver solider performances in some scenes while other scenes were very dull and lackluster.  When you mix that with the generic characters you get a film full of fairly forgettable scenes.  The story for this one is what really pulled me in.  If the cast was a little better or directed it would have been one hell of a film.  We get a haunted house style story with pilgrims (?) living in a piano who come back for revenge on the families that did them wrong.  This was very different and another reason I was continuously thinking about the film Mr. Boogedy.  I loved the story and the pacing was actually fairly well done.  Finally, the film has some bloody moments with some very cheap practical effects.  The effects in this one are nothing like the others films of the time.  They were very cheap and amateurish but they fit the film oddly enough.  Don't expect gore but you will get a fun decapitation.  Overall, The Demons of Ludlow is not as atmospheric as the previous two films but it had it's own charm.  It's shitty but a fun kind of shitty.  I recommend it.

     My Bill Rebane marathon has now reached the halfway mark.  So far I haven't been disappointed.  Sure, Monster a Go-Go could have been better but I've seen a hell of a lot worse horror titles out there.  However, I was really surprised by Invasion from Inner Earth.  I really liked that one which made me even more excited to go deeper into the Weird Wisconsin set.  The next film in the set was The Alpha Incident which has an amazing poster.  Most vintage posters do a poor job at stirring imagination but I fucking loved the artwork on the poster and this was a solid entry in the box set as well.  

     The film follows the employees of a train station who are forced to quarantine when the conductor of a train carrying a microorganism from space accidentally breaks open a vial.  Tension builds as the staff becomes uncooporative with the scientist accompanying the shipment forces them to stay in the station against their will.

      The Alpha Incident is not as fun as Invasion from Inner Earth but I enjoyed it.  It's a small scale thriller that features a simple story and great acting.  It's not the most memorable film in the set but it works for a first time watch.  The acting in this one is very well done.  I really enjoyed the wide range of characters.  The cast does a phenomenal job at bringing them all to life.  With that being said, they are very plain and generic but they fit the film very well.  The story for this one is simple but it works for the scenario that we get.  I really enjoyed the small setting the film takes place in and the suspense really makes it stand out.  It does get dull at times but if you stick with it the pay off is worth it.  Finally, the film doesn't have a high body count but we do get one very enjoyable death that I'm still thinking about.  The practical effects are a little on the goofy side but this death scene was worth it.  I truly enjoyed it and wish the film had several more just like it.  Overall, The Alpha Incident is a slow burn and very dialogue rich but I really enjoyed it.  Some of the bulk could have been cut from this one but it's fun as is.  I highly recommend it.

     It looks like I may or may not have my work cut out for me as I dig through this Bill Rebane Weird Wisconsin box set that was sent my way from MVD and Arrow Video.  I started my Rebane movie marathon with Monster a Go-Go which wasn't too bad but wasn't what I was expecting.  When it was over I immediately hit play on the second film in the second set which was 1974's Invasion from Inner Earth.  What a contrast to the first film this one was.  Honestly, I loved it and this really got my hopes up for the following films.

      The film follows a group traveling by plane when they encounter some strange sites like the air traffic controller telling them that everyone is dead.  They are able to land and make it to a cabin which is remote and located deep in the snow covered mountains.  While they try to peice together what is going on one of them suspects that aliens are responsible but they soon discover that the attack on mankind came from within the Earth and not from space.

      I didn't know what to expect from Invasion from Inner Earth but this one really surprised me.  I grew up on post-apocalyptic horror and sci-fi tales and this one was one of the better ones.  It had a Dawn of the Dead look while having a deep dive sci-fi basis.  I loved it and could see myself digging into it again.  It's the atmosphere that made this one so much fun.  The acting in this one is surprisingly well done.  The characters do feel a little cheesy and cliched for the most part but the cast does a surprisingly solid job in their performances.  It's the characters that make this one so enjoyable.  Though the characters are generic and cliched they still fit with the story very well which makes it that more entertaining.  The story for this one is one we haven't seen before but it does have a unique spin to it.  Decades before the 70s we had horror and sci-fi flicks where the worlds population was wiped out by disease, aliens, comets, and so forth.  However, there wasn't many horror tales before then that featured the hollowed Earth theory.  Though this was just a tiny part of the story it was still the basis for the entire film and I enjoyed that aspect.  I loved the set up of the film following the survivors as they were secluded in the woods surrounded by snow with no food.  It created a very claustrophobic setting that made the film work in my opinion.  I enjoyed it and even though it was simple it was still very story rich.  Finally, the film has some deaths but they are mostly off screen with no blood or gore.  The movie has a made for television quality about it which would explain the lack of blood and gore.  Overall, Invasion from Inner Earth was very enjoyable.  It was cheap and far from perfect but I really liked this one.  Fans of 70s post-apocalyptic sci-fi tales will enjoy this one.  It's well worth it.

     I think we are in the golden age of movie collecting.  We have so many boutique labels bringing us movies in high definition that would normally never see the light of day.  I'm not talking Evil Dead and Dawn of the Dead getting another re-release on a different format but movies I've never heard of getting remastered and restored for the first time since their theatrical release.  A few weeks ago Arrow Video announced the release of the Bill Rebane box set called Weird Wisconsin.  I was really intrigued by this.  Up to this point the only Rebane film that I had seen was Blood Harvest which was released by Vinegar Syndrome.  Not long after the announcement of this release I received the blus to review from my friends over at MVD.  I couldn't wait to dig into it so I started with 1965's Monster a Go-Go.

      The film follows an astronaut that crashes back to Earth in his shuttle but they are unable to retrieve his body.  They suspect he perished in the crash but when bodies are discovered drained of life they suspect that he lived and is mutated by the radiation he was exposed to while in space.

     Blood Harvest is an extremely rough slasher but the cheesy and campiness of the film makes for a very fun movie experience.  I was hoping that even though these films are twenty some odd years apart that the cheesy would still be as entertaining here as it was in Blood Harvest.  Sadly, it wasn't.  Monster a Go-Go is not a bad film but it's not as fun either.  It's a bit slow, predictable, and lackluster.  The acting in this one is solid enough but far from perfect.  The characters are very cliched and flat but they work well enough for the story.  The cast is dedicated to their roll but their performances do come up a little short at times.  The story for this one is one we have seen many times before especially by 1965.  An astronaut returning to Earth mutated is nothing we haven't seen before especially in sci-fi films of the 50s and 60s.  Because of this the film is rather predictable but it does offer up some fun even if you know exactly where it's going.  Finally, the film has several deaths that take place off screen.  No blood or gore for this one but we do get some make-up effects that makes the scene work.  It's nothing spectacular but they do their job.  Overall, Monster a Go-Go is far from perfect.  Its a fun one for a first time watch but you have to be open to it.  It's predictable but not THAT bad.

     I absolutely love indie horror.  I started writing reviews to cover exploitation and forgotten action films but my love for horror quickly took over.  I love when I get in some no budget indie horror films to review because most of the time these films were made by fans of the genre.  They work hard to make the movies they want to see.  Sometime ago I befriended indie filmmaker Seb Godin on Facebook and since then I've reviewed several of his movies.  His movies are always wide and he takes risks with each of his films.  When Wild Eye announced that they would be releasing his film Ouija Mummy I had to see it.  I reached out to MVD and they were kind enough to send a review copy my way.

     The film follows a young couple who are having a house warming party for the new home they just moved into.  They invite some old friends over for a little get together along with his estranged brother to bury the hatchet.  An amulet that was recently gifted to the young woman from her boyfriend is actually the amulet of an Egeyptian goddess and when they play with an Ouija board they find themselves fighting for their lives when the goddess inhabits the young woman.

     Godin has an eye for films from yesteryear.  All his movies have their own look about them.  The lighting is always perfect and his cinematography is always spot on.  When you combine that with practical effects and stories like Lycanimator and DinoGore then you can expect to see something you wouldn't find from other filmmakers.  He does take risks with his films and I respect that.  He doesn't follow trends and makes the movies that he would want to see.  Ouija Mummy was a gamble and I feel that this gamble paid off.  It is rough around the edges and at an hour in length the story is a little too long but it works.  I enjoyed it.  The acting in this one is solid but some of the scenes do get a little awkward at times.  The cast works pretty well together but their dialogue and pitch of their voice does get a weird.  It's a little inconsistent but nothing bad.  The cast looks like they were having fun on set and it translates well to the film.  The story for this one is extremely simple and effective but the movie itself takes awhile to get moving.  It's around an hour long but almost 40 minutes of it is heavy dialogue and character developement.  Realistically, the movie could be trimmed to around 30 or so minutes and it would have a bigger impact on the viewer.  With that being said, it is still a fun watch but you have a big hill to climb before you get to the top.  Finally, we get some really fun death scenes with some practical effects.  The effects are far from perfect but they work with the kills to make them as enjoyable as possible.  Overall, Ouija Mummy will not be for everyone.  In fact, if you are the kind of movie fan that enjoyed well polished horror flicks then you will not enjoy this one.  However, if you like the outlandish side of cinema and have any sort of a sense of humor then you will really enjoy this one.  I had fun with it and I know some of you will as well.

     I try to make it a habit to search for indie horror films through Amazon and eBay to find movies that have somehow slipped passed me.  A lot of times I find some extremely fun and wild movies that most of my horror friends have missed.  Recently I was doing my normal digging when I found the no budget zombie flick Blaming George Romero.  I wanted to take advantage of the free shipping so I kept digging for a few more movies to add to my cart when I found the sci-fi film The Rise of the Robots.  this one looked like another wild ride so I quickly hit add to cart.  Once I finished with Blaming George Romero I figured now was just as good a time as any to spin Rise of the Robots.  

     The film follows a college professor, two of his students, and a local good ol' boy who find themselves under attack when robots from another planet posses all of mankind who are addicted to staring at their phones.  They must act fast to save the human race before the robot prove they are superior.

     A few months ago I watched Inhumanwich and fucking loved it.  The blend of drive-in era sci-fi and comedy was an absolute blast.  I was hoping The Rise of the Robots would be very similar and it was.  It was a fun sci-fi comedy mash up that paid tribute to the classic age of sci-fi cinema.  The acting in this one a dry and extremely flat but that was done on purpose.  The film fully embraces the b-movie campiness of the classic sci-fi films and the cast is fully dedicated to the aesthetics.  I really enjoyed the characters and how the cast approached their roles.  The characters are very entertaining and it's the cast we have to thank that made this movie so much fun.  The story for this one is a fun send off to golden age of drive-in cinema and classic sci-fi flicks meets modern day society.  The robots taking over the human race by infiltrating their cellphones is brilliant.  Six years later and this still rings true.  The story is extremely campy and fun which works with how goofy it is.  With that being said, the story is stretched a little too thin.  It becomes a little dull in the middle but picks back up as we reach the final stretch.  Finally, this is not a bloody flick.  We get some classic visual effects that was very cheesy but fun.  I enjoyed it for what it was.  However, if you are looking for something bloody then you will be very disappointed.  Overall, The Rise of the Robots is a cheesy good time.  It's not going to be a movie that will stick with you but it's very entertaining for a first time watch.  Check it out.

     Several months ago I was browsing the indie releases on Amazon.  I do these from time to time to snag some releases that have slid under my radar.  I saw an indie movie from 2011 that really caught my attention.  The film, Blaming George Romero, looked like the type of movie that I would have watched in college during the early 2000s so I snagged it.  I didn't have to watch it when it arrived but I sit it by the television to toss in as soon as I could.  After I finished It Wants Blood! I figured now would be the perfect time to check it out.  

     The film follows a group of twenty-somethings who are obsessed with horror movies and struggling with adulthood.  One night while having a get together they are attacked by a bloody man.  They fight off their attacker and agree that they are in the beginning stages of a zombie outbreak.  They gather what supplies they can offhand and flee to a spot they think would be perfect to wait out the apocalypse but as they continue on their journey they have doubts that the man was a zombie at all.

     Blaming George Romero is a very unique spin on the zombie sub-genre.  It's hard to find a zombie movie that's not a clone of The Walking Dead in some capacity after 2010 so this was a breathe of fresh air.  It works for this film but I don't see myself revisiting this one anytime soon.  The acting in this one is pretty solid for a film of this caliber.  The cast works extremely well together on screen.  Their chemistry together is what makes this film work.  The characters have great personalities and the cast does a fantastic job at bringing those to life on screen.  The story for this one is so simple but extremely entertaining.  The film is character driven with a lot of time spent on their development.  It works but doesn't have a lot of replay value.  Once you've seen it the story is no longer affective.  With that being said, it's still an enjoyable film with the same kind of tone that made Kevin Smith's earlier films so enjoyable.  Finally, the film is not a bloody one.  We have one seen with a little blood but that is fairly early on in the film and the effects are minimal.  This is not your typical zombie film in a lot of ways and the deaths you would associate with a zombie film is no exception.  Overall, Blaming George Romero is a fun late night no budget horror flick that is fun with some friends and a few cheap beers.  The movie is far from perfect but it works at least for one viewing.  Check it out because you will not be disappointed.

     When I started writing reviews for Horror Society I found myself struggling to meet filmmakers.  One of the first directors that I befriended was indie filmmaker James Balsalmo.  I added him on Facebook and soon sparked up a conversation with him about his films Cool as Hell, I Spill Your Guts, and Hack Job.  For the next several years I reviewed his film as he would release them but the last few years I've missed out on some of his films.  A few nights ago James messaged me to share news on his newest film It Wants Blood starring WWE's Lita and Eric Roberts.  I did and he sent over a link to check out the film.  I want to thank James for allowing Horror Society and myself the opportunity to check this one out!

     The film follows two politicians who are campaigning for senator.  Senator Du Sang (Roberts) has sacrificed his son in order to gain access to an ancient beast that he must feed blood.  His opposition is a rising political figure who has a winged creature with a taste for flesh.  Stuck in the middle is a political investigator who is trying to get the scoop on the two politicians.

      I like the humor and wild stories that Balsalmo and Acid Bath Productions are known for delivering to fans.  Movies like Cool as Hell, Catch of the Day, and Bite School were extremely fun and entertaining.  They are little clunky at times with unnecessary cameos and pointless scenes but they are fun nonetheless.  It Wants Blood! is a wild and gory story but the cameos and additional scenes that serve no purpose to the story makes this one a bit more of a struggle to finish than normal.  The acting in this one is fun but there is some room for improvement.  Balsalmo is entertaining as always and brings a lot of energy and charisma to his role.  He is always comfortable in front of the camera and this film is no exception.  Amy Dumas, or Lita from WWE as most of you would know her, was surprisingly good in her role as well.  Granted, I haven't watched wrestling in damn near 20 years but I don't recall her being this believable in the wrestling scene.  However, she was absolutely brilliant in this role.  I know wrestling has paid her bills but I really hope she takes on more genre roles.  Arucan was great as well as the aspiring politician hiding a deadly beast in his back yard.  He was one of the more entertaining characters and brought a lot of class to the film.  With all that being said, I'm a huge fan of Eric Roberts but his performance here is underwhelming.  He has no enthusiasm and casually spills his dialogue.  Hell, in some of his scenes he's sitting awkwardly in a chair while his scene partner is standing away from them making for a wide shot that looks a bit weird.  The story for this one is a very interesting politically charged creature feature that really pulled me.  I'm a sucker for monster movies and Balsalmo goes balls out with this one.  I loved the main characters, their backstories, and how they worked with the story.  However, those random insert scenes and cameos makes this movie almost two hours long.  So much could have been removed and this one would have been amazing.  Finally, this one is overflowing with bloody practical and stop-motion effects.  The kills are gruesome and slightly funny with some great looking practical effects.  Overall, It Want's Blood! would have been a solid 3 out of 5 if some of the movie was cut to make the story more fluid.  It's still worth a watch for the monster mayhem but this is a long one with a lot of filler scenes.

     Most of you that have followed me for some time now and may have noticed that I'm a huge fan of Chris Seaver.  His brands Low Budget Pictures and Warlock Home Video have been a huge part of my movie collection journey for several years now.  For the most part I've collected most of his films with the exception of a few but there is still a couple I have yet to watch and review.  A few weeks ago MVD announced that SRS Cinemas was releasing Seaver's 2011 fantasy adventure film Deathbone on DVD as part of their retro line.  I reached out to them and they were kind enough to send over a review copy of it.  I want to take a moment to thank MVD and SRS Cinemas for sending it over.  

      The film follows Deathbone (Garberina) who is approached by an elf to rescue her villiage that was overrun by an evil Goblin.  Deathbone reluctactly agrees to the quest and their journey begins.  They make their way to the villiage where they encounter other swordsmen, orcs, witches, and lustful faries before reaching the overrun villiage where an epic battle ensues.

     Not everyone will enjoy Seaver's films.  I love his humor and bold stories but some people may be turned off by the lack of budget.  Over the years he has released some extremely entertaining films but there has been a few duds.  Deathbone is one that is a bit different than he other films but I really enjoyed it.  The acting in this one is exactly what you would expect in a Seaver flick.  Garberina is absolutely brilliant as Deathbone the barbarian.  His mannerisms, dialogue, and charisma was so funny to watch.  He really got into his role and made the title character come to life.  The supporting cast is just as intense, funny, and entertaining.  Everyone gets into their roles and has a lot of fun.  That fun translates very well to the camera.  The story for this one is a parody of the fantasy adventure films that a lot of grew up watching like Deathstalker, Beastmaster, and the most obvious film, Conan.  The humor carries well throughout the entire film but the story does hit a few dry patches.  The movie is stretched a bit thin at times but it's still a fun watch if you stick with it.  The humor does a great job at masking the story's weaknesses.  Finally, the film is not a bloody and gory one.  We get some low-brow fight scenes and some surprisingly well done make-up effects but that is the extent of that with this one.  Overall, Deathbone will not be for everyone.  However, if you are a fan of the funnier side of cinema then I would highly recommend digging into this slice of back yard fun.  It was funny and very enjoyable.
