I suspect I'll forget some of the movies we watched, so if other viewers can chime in I'll add in the reviews later.
We've become addicted to Joe Bob Briggs commentary, and this week watched: Hell High A movie that dealt with the traumatic childhood of a teacher and the affects of her classes stalking of her. Again IMDB reviewers miss the point of this surprisingly good b-grade horror. JB Briggs commentary definitely adds something, but even without that the movie is good. It's different, reasonably intelligent (well compared to the Jason or Kruegar franchises) there are interesting concepts in there. The double cross type behaviour with the geeks/students are quite cool. But again, JBB commentary makes it worthwhile and good and, as with all of his commentarys, highly recommended.
As fans of the Kaufmann legend (Toxie, Surf Nazi's etc) we double featured with "Werewolves on Wheels". The IMDB review claims this as a 'Z-grade', obviously the reviewer is a crack smokin' ho', the movie is great, full of far-out freaky middle aged hippies finding a satanic cult. Speaking of which, the cult had the best cheesy lines. And the music, that was 'good' too. yay for general weirdness. There weren't that many werewolves, and plot (such as it was) confused the hell out of us. For the cynics in the back, we hadn't been drinking much at this stage. Worth watching, in a hammer horror, cheesy 70s flick kinda way. Oh and there's motorbike riding hippie dudes, well before the days of Easy Rider, and much much cooler. Kinda proto-bikers we decided.
In another Kaufman release, Rapid Grannies. A Belgium release, originally, about two Aunts who get possessed by a demonic box sent by the bad boy of the family. The rest of the offspring have gathered to try and get themselves into the will and are a ncie cross-section of sycophants. But we also manage to get a lesbian couple. Great. A reasonable level of gore, and it's funny gore. Great cheesy lines, and by the time the Aunts get possessed any pretense at script writing has been dropped. We enjoyed this one, and could follow the plot even after a fair amoutn of beer, or wine in my case as I'm classy.
Some midgit wrestling was viewed. And a big thanks to Blair for supplying this top quality entertainment. More people need to watch this kinda entertainment!!!
Forbidden Zone, or the movies website here - eek. I think you lot need to see the cover art from IMDB. So here it is:
This was directed/written by Richard Elfman, along with a large proportion of the Elfman clan including the only successful one, Danny Elfman (the composer, who plays Satan). As a continuing theme we had midgits, perverts, concubines, weird flying sex people and a plot that promised nothing and delivered mind altering weirdness. It's also a musical. But in a good way. Definitely recommended, but try not to drink too much or be on acid. Or be very drunk or very tripped, I don't think a middle ground would work too well for this instant classic.
