Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile Review

-

Cast: Zac Efron, Lilly Collins, Kaya Scodelario, John Malkovich, Jeffrey Donovan, Dylan Baker, Jim Parsons, Angela Sarafyan, Hayley Joel Osment, James Hetfield

Director: Joe Berlinger

In 1969, a young woman abd mother named Elizabeth Kloepfer  meets a charming man named Ted Bundy and from there, their relationship grows.

As Elizabeth thinks she has finally found the man of her dreams, Ted is keeping a dark secret from her that he is a serial killer.

As his crimes finally comes to light, Elizabeth refuses to believe the truth that is staring her right in the face.

I was very excited when I found out that Netflix was releasing this film and seeing the trailer made me even more happy.

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is a very well made film, told through the eyes of Ted's ex-girlfriend Elizabeth that is based on her revealing tell-all book, The Phantom Prince: My Life With Ted Bundy, which I would love to pick up and read for myself.

Unlike other real life serial killer films that I've seen, this one is more of a courtroom drama than focusing on all of his crimes, although you do get to see a glimpse of one murder, which was just a tad bit disappointing, but I was still glad to see that scene none the less.

This movie has one killer cast, which includes Zac Efron playing Ted Bundy. That was a surprising cast choice, but he nailed it. His mannerisms were so spot on, I was very impressed. Lilly Collins was incredible as Ted's longtime and suffering girlfriend, Elizabeth, I can truly feel the agony she was going through, espevially after finding out the man of her dreams was truly a monster.

One of the main reasons I wanted to see this movie was for the very short cameo of Metallica's very own James Hetfield, who portrays the police officer that originally arrested Ted Bundy. I was quite impressed and if I didn't already know who James was, I'd swear he could'be been a real cop. He certainly had the look of one, instead of being in that band, which now sicks. He should definitely do some more acting.

EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE was a surprising film that you should definitely check out and make sure to stay during the credits for footage of the real Ted Bundy. I thought that was a nice touch to finish it off with.

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
