Crazy Fat Ethel 2 (1987) - Nick Millard

I like to go out and hit up garage sales early in the mornings on Saturdays. Usually you can find some really good stuff, other times you just look at piles of shit for 20 minuets, moving so slowly. Maybe that's just me though. One time I found a copy of Crazy Fat Ethel 2 on VHS, it came with Tron and a bootleg copy of Eraserhead. I called some friends and we all watched this movie Crazy Fat Ethel 2. Holy crap!

This movie is a roller-coaster ride of poop. From the director shooting on, what looked to be, the cheapest equipment ever. To their not being a shred of decent audio. To the amazingly terrible script. There is not one saving grace to the entire film. The movie is offensive and stupid all rolled up into a nice tiny ball of turd.

Now that I got that out of my system...

I could not believe what I was watching, Fatsplotiation! The tag line to the movie, which actually doubles as the plot, is "Never come between Ethel and a well-stocked refrigerator!!" That is it all in one sentence. This movie is about a large woman who kills anyone that gets between her and a Twinkie. Watching this movie I could only think of Al Bundy jokes, which is bad! The killings are done in a really strange and cheap fashion. The movie is overall the weirdest film I have ever seen.

I am torn so much watching this movie that I think I am going to give it a 0 of 10. I have no idea how I should judge this movie fairly. On one hand I really love the movie as itself, but on the other this is an abortion of a film. The movie is so hard to describe and rate, I guess i have to knock off points for using multiple shots from the first movie. Then again I have to give the movie points for its cult appeal.

Overall I will put this movie on the 1001 horror movies that you need to see before you die in one, list.

I definitely recommend seeing this movie in a group setting, not by yourself please.

I'm hungry

Ju-On (2000) - Takashi Shimizu

Watching Japanese horror is similar to watching British comedy. If you enjoy dry whit then you probably enjoy the boys of Monty Python in drag. That's the joke, they're dressed like women. Get it? Well, that's British humor. But if you're like most Americans you probably prefer Adam Sandler farting his way across a football field and hooking up with chicks that are way out of his league. Americans usually prefer this more in your face, crass brand of humor. My point is funny in England is different from funny in the US. The same goes for J-Horror. What the Japanese consider scary is very different from what Americans consider scary and it shows in this horror film. Japanese horror is generally slow (a little too slow sometimes), suspenseful and creepy. Ju-On is a creepy effing film. The movie has almost no soundtrack. It is incredibly suspenseful and the pay-offs are pretty awesome, but I think that it was done better in the American version (cultural t...

Humanoids From the Deep (1980) - Barbara Peeters and Jimmy T. Murakami

This is your standard old drive-in Creature Feature that has tons of gore and boobs. It's great if your in for a cheap thrill. This film goes right up along side any Roger Corman produced picture from the eighties. It's rumored that Joe Dante was approached to direct this movie but he turned it down. Humanoids from the Deep, also known as Monster, is a strange but forgettable piece of exploitation that failed to make it's notch in history. Don't let that detour you though. This is a really fun little film that doesn't fail to be entertaining.  A small sea town in California is terrorized by some mutated creatures from the deep. They look like some sort of mutated fish, merman-thing. They seem to have one goal in mind and that is raping and impregnating the females of the town. Also the town is being taken for a ride by a shifty businessman and his new corporate cannery. Could this evil cannery corporation be responsible for the Extreme Creatures of the B...

Escape From Tomorrow (2013) - Randy Moore

This review may contain spoilers. An American independent horror movie from filmmaker Randy Moore. It stars Roy Abramsohn, Elena Schuber, Katelynn Rodriguez, Jack Dalton, Annet Mahendru, and Alison Lees-Taylor. It premiered at the official selection of Roger Ebert, at the Sundance Film Festival on January 18th, 2013. Synopsis Jim is a depressed middle-aged man that despises his family life but wants to try to hold it together for a vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort. Jim receives a call before they leave and, unfortunately, Jim has lost his job as well. It proves too much to handle as this trip to the Magic Kingdom becomes a hellish nightmare. Jim’s mind cracks as we watch him deal with Disney’s seedy underbelly. Complete with elaborate corporate conspiracy, undercover sex workers, and demons. Oh and two very young French girls that Jim lusts over. It’s gross. Analysis The acting is amateurish. It’s nothing that’s going to win any awards or anything. The wri...
