Crawl Review

-
Cast : Kaya Scodelario, Barry Pepper, Ross Anderson, Anson Boon, Jose Palma, George Somner, Ami Metcalf, Morfydd Clark, Annamaria Serda, Savannah Steyn

Director: Alexandre Aja

As a Category 5 Hurricane is approaching, a young woman and her father become trapped underneath their family home.

Desperately trying to escape the rushing water that is flooding the house, they are also being hunted by man-eating alligators and now it's become their biggest fight for survival.

I have always been a huge fan of disaster films, especially when it comes to massive weather situations, but what's even better is when they include a horror element with it and that's what we get with CRAWL.

When I first heard this movie was being made, I was so happy. However, my excitement became even greater when I found out that not only was Alexandre Aja sitting in the director's chair, but Sam Raimi was producing it. Now I knew that this movie was going to be killer and man, was I right.

From the moment CRAWL starts, it doesn't let up once. First, you get a powerful hurricane hitting this town in Florida and then you have all these alligators on the loose and hunting for food. I was seriously on the edge of my seat.

This movie isn't really heavy on the characters, but it didn't need to be  because you are mostly focused on the two main characters that are trying to get out of this horrible, fierce situation alive. I felt like my heart was racing every time they were on screen and having to fight off those vicious alligators. CRAWL will have your heart pounding until the very end and that's what it's all about, right? You just get so involved the whole time.

CRAWL is an incredibly action-packed disaster/horror film and is definitely one of the best movies to have come out in 2019. If you haven't had the chance to check this one out yet, you need to. You won't be disappointed.

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

-
Image
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

X Review

-
Image
  Cast: Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, Brittany Snow, Martin Henderson, Kid Cudi, Stephen Ure, Owen Campbell  Director: Ti West  A film crew rents a guest house from an elderly couple to make an adult film.  As the night goes on and tensions rise, they are killed off one by one in really gruesome fashion by someone that is observing what kind of filth they are making. First of all, I have to admit that I am not a fan of the films that A24 comes out with. For the most part, they are completely boring and uninteresting to me.   I am the type of person that can't get into films that are known as "slow burns" because I have a tendency to fall asleep. However, X is a much different kind of horror film. Sure, it's still slow-paced, but the storyline is very interesting that you actually don't even realize how long it's taking for the first murder begins and one that happens, you are in for a wild ride. X is set in the rural backwoods of Texas in the 70's and that made
