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 this film even more compelling. 

You get the costumes and tunes that are based out of that decade and it was great. I really thought I was watching a movie that truly came out then.

The killings were what I was waiting for, like I do with all the horror movies that I view and that first death scene was so great. Not for the bloody stuff, but because the song "Don't Fear the Reaper" was playing during this scene and I thought that was so perfect. 

Mia Goth gave 2 amazing performances as she does double duty as two separate characters and one of those characters was a bit gross with the subject matter she had to perform. It was pretty unforgettable. 

X was an amazing film from A24 and that is saying a lot from me. I hope they make more movies in this same vein, I was not bored once and when the slayings started, it didn't let up once.

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
