Dead Clowns Review

-


Director: Steve Sessions

Cast: Debbie Rochon, Brinke Stevens, Lucien Eisenach, Jeff Dylan Graham, Eric Spudic, Robyn Griggs, Kimberly Lynn Cole

I have never been one to be afraid of clowns. I always thought they were too silly for words and all the movies that I have seen, pertaining to clowns, were not serious enough in my book to even want to check out. Well, I can't say that about KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE. It's not a serious movie, but a fun one at best.

This brings us to the following movie that I recently got to check out entitled DEAD CLOWNS. Have you ever pictured a movie about clowns that were zombies? Well, that's what this movie is about and I gotta say that it rocks...hardcore!

DEAD CLOWNS tells the story about a group of people that are being butchered and eaten by a group of dead clowns that have risen from the bottom of the ocean due to a fierce hurricane that have struck a southern sea port town.

They may be clowns, but there's nothing funny about these zombified killers, so you better watch out!

The first movie that I got to see from Steve Sessions was CREMAINS. I thought that was a pretty cool movie. Next up was a little film called HELLBOUND: BOOK OF THE DEAD. I thought that one was ok at best. It was really slow and I was kinda disappointed with the ending. DEAD CLOWNS is definitely different then anything I'd ever seen from Steve. Sure, it was slow in parts, but it picked itsself right up soon after. It kept me interested from beginning to end, which is very rare in my book.

DEAD CLOWNS has an all-star cast in the b-movie world with the likes of Debbie Rochon, Brinke Stevens, Jeff Dylan Graham and Robyn Griggs. Everyone was great, even though I was disappointed that Robyn was only on screen for a couple of minutes. I guess you can't have it all, right? Debbie and Jeff were in a majority of the film, which was great, even though they didn't share any scenes together, like they did in DEAD & ROTTING, but I digress.

Another actor that I'd like to focus on for a minute is Eric Spudic, who portrayed a wheelchair bound guy that is trying to escape from these clowns. I always thought he was a good actor, but after seeing this performace, you have to wonder why he's not getting much bigger roles. He was incredible and I hope that big time directors notice this guy and grab him up in a hurry! Seriously!!!!

DEAD CLOWNS has some really great f/x, especially for a low budget film that was made in the south. When I first saw what these clowns looked like, my first question was, did Steve watch ZOMBIE way too many times? That's exactly what they looked like, those zombies from Fulci's flick, ZOMBIE. That's what impressed me the most, being a fan of Fulci, I thought it was great to see zombies look and act just like those from the Italian master of zombie films. Once you all see this film, you'll know what I mean.

On a final note, DEAD CLOWNS is a really freaky, atmospheric and gory zombie flick that I highly recommend.

Zombarella's House of Whorrors Review

Directed by: Tony Masiello and Tim Ritter Remember the good old days of USA Up All Night back in the 90's? Those were the best times and those great memories were brought back with Zombarella's House of Whorrors. Very beautiful and very busty Zombarella presents it's viewers with a SOV suck fest called Tales From the Mausoleum from director Fred Olen Wood. We are also presented with lots of commercials, trailers and 1-900 numbers to titilate your senses. First of all, I didn't know what I was in for when I started watching Zombarella's House of Whorrors, but from the very beginning I smiled the entire time. I remember staying up late night watching these kinda of programs including all those adult 1-900 numbers and this film made me extremely happy. Some of them were a bit ridiculous, but I had a lot of fun watching them. I think my favorites are 1-900-Get-Cream and 1-900-Date-A-Mate. I'd call them if I could. I loved all the trailers that are includ

Crowley Review

Starring: Simon Callow, Kal Weber, Lucy Kudden, Jud Charlton, Paul McDowell, John Shrapnel Director: Julian Doyle Originally titled Chemical Wedding, Crowley (the US title) tells the tale of Neo-Pagan Aleister Crowley, known as "The Wickedest Man in the World", who died in 1947. 50 years after his death, Cambridge scholar Professor Oliver Haddo enters a Virtual Reality Machine, but things go awry and he becomes possessed by the spirit of Crowley. Crowley proceeds to begin his occult practices all over again, in search for a "scarlet bride" to marry and increase his powers. I really didn't know what to expect, but this was one of the most kick ass movies I've seen in a long time. Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson co-wrote this little tale and I was surprised. I love Bruce Dickinson, but had no idea that he could write a movie such as this. Simon Callow, who portrayed Haddo/Crowley was amazing. He freaked me out in so many
