Ova anarhoidna horror komedija mi je bila pravo osvježenje za pogledati, pogotovo kada sam vidio da Dave Grohl i Foo Fightersi glume sami sebe u ovoj ludoj gore/trash horror komediji. E, pa priča ide oko toga da Foo Fightersi moraju snimiti deseti studijski album, a nemaju inspiracije. Tu uleće šef studija koji im rezervira kultni Encino da bi na miru napisali i snimili album. Ono što oni ne znaju je da u Encinu nije sve kako treba. Ovdje je već devedesetih boravio jedan bend koji je bio obećavajući, ali jedan član je opsjednut knjigom od ljudskog mesa pobio sve ostale članove. Pogađate, demon opsjedne Grohla i one počne biti opsjednut dovršenjem paklene pjesme i ubijati ostale članove benda i susjede. Kreće ludilo prepuno dobre zajebancije, gore scena na kojima bi pozavidio i ozbiljan horror i loše glume članova benda hehe. Bilo je pomalo tužno vidjeti bubnjara Taylora Hawkinsa koji je preminuo nakon što je film snimljen u ovoj ulozi. Kao što mi je najsmješniji i član bend koji se nekako najlošije snašao kao lik u filmu Pat Smear, legendarni gitarist, a Grohl je sam po sebi dobar kao glavna uloga i main man benda što je u stvarnom životu i u filmu. Završetak filma odgovara nekakvom nastavku jednog dana, a i ne mora biti. Dobra horror komedija kakvu već dugo nisam gledao.
Can you imagine Vietnam war movie, Death Wish, Taxi Driver all in one movie? I can! This is Combat Shock my dear ghouls, welcome to one of the most disturbing and best movies I have seen in a while. Directed and written by Buddy Giovinazzo and starring Rick Giovinazzo this disturbing war drama is about very disturbed Vietnam veteran Frankie who lives in horrible conditions in ruined flat with his wife Cathy and his monster mutated baby, victim of Agent Orange which Frankie got spilled on in war. He also has constant nightmares about massacre in a Vietnam village from which he escaped but was later imprisoned. His father is some rich politician, but he does not speak with Frankie. Desperate and in debt to local gangster crew, Frankie does what he thinks he has to do until the bitter, poetic and one of the most disturbing endings of movies I have ever watched. This is a masterpiece and I am proud that I have it in my collection. But, beneath it all, it tells the tale of forgotten veterans that gave their health, minds, sanity to their country in meaningless wars but then their country has forsaken them and left them to dig through the garbage bins. I love this movie. But I can not watch it whenever. This one needs a special state of mind. Go see it!
I love horror and am an avid collector of horror movies but sometimes, just sometimes I run into something that is possible to love only by true die hard horror fans. Blood Shack is one of such movies. This one is about a cottage with an ancient curse on it, like settlers killed native American tribe chief’s son and so they were dismembered and anyone who tries to stay a night in that cottage will die dismembered. Fast forward to now, meetl Daniel, crazy cowboy who is a hired worked by Carol, who just inherited that land and also that cottage. As it usually goes, there are brutal murders around and seems that the tribe chief’s ghost is back killing everyone who enters the cottage. Well, this movie is total freaking trash and only a true horror enthusiast like myself could stand all hour and ten minutes watching it. The killer looks like ninja and grunts some odd sounds killing and stabbing with something that looks like ninja or samurai sword. Actors are total desperation, Carolyn Brandt and Ron Haydock are a tiny bit above others but it is like I collect people in front of my neighborhood store and make movie with them. If it were parody, that would be awesome, but it is not. But, it is a proto slasher movie before golden era of slasher with enough bloody moments, so it is welcome in my collection.
