3 From Hell Review

-

Cast: Sheri Moon Zombie, Bill Moseley, Richard Brake, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Dee Wallace, Danny Trejo, Sid Haig

Director: Rob Zombie

After the shootout with the police, Otis, Baby and Captain Spaulding are finally apprehended and sent to prison.

10 years later Otis, with the help of half brother Foxy escape from police custody and go on a bloody rampage determined to get Baby released from the joint.

Now reunited Baby, Otis and Foxy decide to head to Mexico to hide out, but there's an unexpected surprise awaiting for them that could be their final standoff.

3 From Hell takes place right after the events from The Devil's Rejects and was really shocking because that shootout should've killed them, but my some miracle they survived and are finally sent away for their bloody, brutal crimes.

I think that The Devil's Rejects had the perfect ending, so we really didn't need a follow-up, but you know what? It worked!

Sheri Moon Zombie and Bill Moseley return as the characters they are famous for, but this time they are joined by Richard Brake, who portrays their half brother Foxy. I was surprised by this new character though, he really belonged in the fold, I wish he somehow could've been included as one of The Devil's Rejects, but better late then never, right?

Sadly, Sid Haig was too sick to fully be in this movie, but I am so gkad that Rob found a way to make sure he was included, even though it was too short. It just wouldn't have been the same without a little Captain Spaulding thrown in.

I am so glad Dee Wallace was in this film, although you might not recognize her right away. It was definitely a different character then what she usually plays, but she nailed. I was also happy that Danny Trejo was included as well, even though it was just for a minute. He's become one of my favorite actors.

There wasn't as much brutality as I thought there was going to be, but none the less, there were still some bloody mayhem, especially during the final act.

I think the only problem I had was that this film(and it's a small one) takes place over 10 years later and yet, still feels like it's in the 70's at times, especially the look of the warden. Dig that mustache, man.

All in all, 3 From Hell was a really good follow-up to what I consider to be Rob Zombie's best film, The Devil's Rejects and should not be missed.

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

The Future

-
I have made a huge decision about the future of Gates of Gore. In the event that I can no longer do Gates of Gore (and that will be a long time from now) I am very happy to announce that I will be leaving Gates of Gore in the capable hands of Mitch Penman. In the future, he will be in control of everything Gates of Gore related, so that the Gore will live on, even if I can't do it anymore. This is exciting on so many levels of excitement!!!!!!
