Horror in Your House
February 17, 2009
By: Tex Massacre
Fresh veggies on aisle 1. Fresh kills throughout the store. Something terrible is happening at Hastings Market. Something bloody. Something deadly. Something inhuman. And caught up in the grisly horror inside the market are shoppers turned hostages, unearthly alien terrors…and a dedicated commando band of raiders on a search-and-destroy mission to stop the intruders dead cold no matter where they hide.
TEX SAYS: Check out BLAIR WITCH alumni Ben Rock’s award winning directorial debuty courtesy of Warner’s Raw Feed line.
When George and her colleagues get a new boss whose focus is on moving souls quickly and enjoying life without consequences, the team begins to break the strict reaper rules. While her friends fall victim to their desires for money, success, and fame, George breaks another rule by revealing her true identity to her living family. As the reapers struggle with their roles on Earth, they each find that death can be just as complicated as life.
TEX SAYS: Cancelled way too early by Showtime, hopefully this new DVD Movie will make up for lost time—even in Mandy Patinkin and Laura Harris didn’t make to back.
The man-eating monsters are still hungry, and what's left of the human survivors - including Biker Queen, Bartender, and Lightning the wrestler - are running out of luck. That is until hope arrives in the form of a knife-wielding karate kid and a mysterious man who seems to be able to control the beasts.
TEX SAYS: Can John Gulager make up for the mess that was FEAST II. Regardless you can expect that the bodily fluids will be running like rivers in this final installment of his splatteriffic series!
Leon Kaufman’s latest body of work, a collection of provocative, nighttime studies of the city and its inhabitants, earns the struggling photographer interest from prominent art gallerist Susan Hoff . She propels him to get grittier and show the darker side of humanity for his upcoming debut at her downtown art space. Believing he’s finally on track for success, Leon’s obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter leads him into the path of Mahogany, the subway serial killer who stalks late night commuters, butchering them in the most gruesome ways imaginable. With his concerned girlfriend Maya fearing for his life, Leon’s relentless fascination with Mahogany lures him further and further into the bowels of the subways and ultimately into an abyss of pure evil.
TEX SAYS: Check out this bloody Clive Barker adaptation if you missed it’s dollar theater theatrical run last year! Not the best Barker film but certainly a high ranking entry.
When a news crew decides to trail a brave fire-fighting team, they never suspect that the first call for help they respond to that night may be their last. Now they're trapped in an apartment complex sealed off by the government. With no way of escape, they find themselves surrounded by frightened residents who are infected with a deadly mutant virus. What happens next is only known because of the footage they left behind.
TEX SAYS: [REC] fans are probably still pissed that this film made it to DVD before the original, but if you missed out on this nearly shot-for-shot American remake, you still missed out on one of the better theatrical horror releases of 2008. Make up for on DVD! Then order the Canadian DVD import of [REC] and compare the two!
It's been thirteen years since the robotic killing machines known as Screamers destroyed the human population of Sirius 6B. But now a distress signal brings a team of rescuers to the supposedly abandoned planet. Can it be a long-lost colony of human survivors? Or have the Screamers evolved into something even more sinister...half-man/half-machine hybrids that need to escape Sirius 6B to finish their mission: the complete annihilation of the human race?
How the hell was FEAST II a mess? It was damn good time..Honestly what the hell did you expect from a sequel? DUDE...Bring your Horror Standards and expectations down from that Depalma Horse.
Quarantine/FEASTIII/MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN got'em/get'em
gonna watch Alien Raiders asap.
Bring yours up! I expected it to be a good film like the first one was. Instead it was alien pissing jokes, midgets and bad green screen effects!!! P.S. DePalma is overrated.
Feast 2 was a pile of shitfail, I'm looking forward to watching Alien Raiders either tonight or tomorrow, I still can't bring myself to watch Quarantine for some reason (even though I fucking loved REC).
I just blew my load at Best Buy again this week. But I'll be renting Feast 3 first just to be safe. Quarantine is good, but REC still beats it. Quarantine is good though for people who can't read subtitles - or just can't fucking read!!!!!!!!!
Picked up Midnight Meat train... I bought Rec on amazon for only 13 dollars in an All REGION format if anyone is interested I think there are still more on there. Not sure where it is from but it has the spanish and english dub, but unfortunately no special features. This whole spout was basically just to say, if you have seen one you have seen them both. Quarantine was good but it is basically just Rec with english...I was shocked at how much they did not change.
SOO yeah...Midnight meat train...possibly feast 3
I picked up Midnight Meat Train and Feast III. I will eventually get Alien Raiders, and I can not bring myself to pay $20 for Quarantine. I'll snag it used later this week when some junkie brings it back to FYE for crack money.
Saw MMT on Fearnet on Demand, that was awesome. Just saw Quarantine today, that was rad, but REC is still better, in little ways. Can't wait to see Alien Raiders. And I haven't even seen Feast 2. Maybe I will.
Um, His Name Was Jason and F13 3D for me. And Tex, fuck yeah! Everyone here should raise their standards. Too long have we accepted whatever shit the shovel has clinging to it.
Got Feast 3. It's possibly even more ridiculous than part 2. Especially the ending, which will piss most people off. I found it hilarious. Of course I like 2 so I also like 3.
Having seen REC with no foreknowledge of what it was, there is no way I'll bother watching the "Hollywoodized" reshoot Quarantine. Looking forward to Midnight Meat Train, though!
MMT was decent, I didnt find it to be anything special. Feast 2 was a steamy pile of shit so Im not going to bother with 3. Alien Raiders looks pretty entertaining as well.
Still itching for Martyrs to be released.
