Zombiethon Review

-

Remember the good old days of Wizard Video? They released some really cool horror flicks back in the day like THE BOOGEYMAN, THE HEADLESS EYES, CARNIVAL OF BLOOD and the movie that I'm about to review...ZOMBIETHON.

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and relive those days again, renting these movies from my all-time favorite video store called Ray's Rent A Movie. They had the best selection and I was always fascinated by the big porno-style VHS boxes that they carried in this store. ZOMBIETHON was one of those releases that I wish I owned, but sadly mine is just a clamshell case. I will keep looking around until I find that big VHS box though.

Anyway, I should get to this review......

ZOMBIETHON doesn't really have much of a plot. Basically, the whole film is a bunch of clips from zombie films thrown together and this all takes place at a movie theater that is run by...you guessed it...zombies.

Besides the zombies, there are a few women that are lured into this theater by some of the zombies in which each of the clips are shown.

ZOMBIETHON features clips from ZOMBIE, ZOMBIE LAKE, OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES, THE INVISIBLE DEAD, A VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD, THE ASTRO-ZOMBIES and even one that doesn't have anything to do with zombies called FEAR. Not sure why that was included, but I'll be honest, it looked cool and I wouldn't mind seeing that one.

There are a couple of things that I love about this film....

1.) The zombies that are in this theater are so fake and you can tell. I guess that's why I think it's so funny. The main zombie that's running the projector just cracks me up, even when he's having problems with the tape.

2. ) Each of the clips that are shown are probably some of the bloodiest and sexiest scenes from each of the movies. It makes me wanna watch all of those movies for those reasons alone. Ok, not ZOMBIE LAKE, that movie just flat out sucked.

If you are a fan of zombie films and come on...who isn't? Then I suggest you try and find this movie. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to find one of those mom and pop stores and they'll have it.

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
