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.

X Review

  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 ...

Halloween Kills Trailer Review

 Late last week someone had leaked out the trailer for HALLOWEEN KILLS. I didn't have any idea, so I never watched the poor quality that was floating around. The trailer was due to be dropped this week, so what was the studio going to do about this?  Well, you guessed it, they released the official HALLOWEEN KILLS trailer within hours of the leak and that means Halloween came early for us hardcore fans. We all had to wait a year for this movie to finally come out since theaters were closed due to the COVID restrictions and lockdowns. Now that things are getting back to normal and theaters are opening up again, we are finally back on track with movie releases.  So with that said, will HALLOWEEN KILLS live up to expectations? I watched the trailer and let me just say....YES!  I had heard early on that this new Halloween film will be the most brutal and bloody of all the Halloween films and that is including the Rob Zombie movies and that is saying something there. The ...

Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Anthony Michael Hall. Kyle Richards, James Jude Courtney  Director: David Gordon Green  After the events of HALLOWEEN 2018, Laurie, Karen and Allyson have escaped the wrath of Michael Myers with Michael trapped in the burning basement of Laurie's compound. However, evil never dies as Michael escapes from the burning building and is more pissed then ever as he goes on the most brutal and bloodiest killing spree to date (forget the RZ versions please). I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of HALLOWEEN KILLS ever since it was first announced for 2020. And then the unthinkable happened, COVID hit and the movie was pushed to 2021.  I was really worried that the movie was going to be pushed again, but I am so thankful that it didn't occur and HALLOWEEN KILLS has finally been released worldwide. Now, let me get into my thoughts on what was my most anticipated movie of the year. Holy shit, HALLOWEEN KILLS was what I was exp...
