Recently watched Hellevator, it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

A rewatch. Bloody, but amateurish (well, it really was made by amateurs...) and annoying. Still, worth checking out if you're interested obscure and/or shot-on-video slashers from the 1980s. And it's not everyday you see a slasher where the killer is a necrophilic hippie. ---- Kane Hodder plays a serial killer (of course) who owns a gas station, and is searching for the perfect eye to replace the one he shot out of his wife while hunting drunk one day. Meh.

I first heard about this movie years ago on Badmovies.Org, and I was happy to see it was put on NetFlix streaming this month. Boy, is it a kicker! Basically, a bunch of researchers at a medical building decide to have a LARP game after hours. All manner of nerdiness ensues, with people communicating with their professor (a fairly game Roddy McDowall) over their walkie-talkies while acting like medical labs are caves and such and collecting "artefacts." And yes, Frodo is used as a magic password at one point. Unfortunately for them, Shakma, a baboon they have been doing medical experiments, has escaped and decided to hunt and kill our nerdy protagonists. They used a real baboon for this one, and he looks freaky when he slams against the doors. Acting is... well, sub-par, but still acceptable. I've seen much worse. It's got a pretty scary atmosphere to it, but it suffers the usual b-movie problems of idiots splitting up, no one calling the cops (in fairness, they did try to justify that by having parts of the building shut down, and this was pre-cell phones, but still, what kind of professional building isn't inundated with phones?) and the need for people to not properly warn others of the danger involved until it's too late. Also of note is the "monster" in this film isn't quite as proactive as some other ones. He's just wandering around and killing whatever he finds, but it comes across more natural then in other monster films. That's actually kind of refreshing. Ultimately, it's a slasher movie with a killer baboon as the monster. Also deserves some recognition for flipping the standard final girl into a final boy. The moral of the story is, it's probably not a good idea to take an already aggressive animal and then screw around with its brains. Angry red baboon butt!

This thread doesn't live, Letch. It's UNDEAD! ---------------- Watched Drive Angry last weekend. It was pretty darn entertaining! A deliberate throwback to 1970s grindhouse movies, it features Nicholas Cage as John Milton, a man who has escaped Hell to rescue his granddaughter from a Satanic cult. On his trail is William Fitchner as the Accountant, a demon tasked with hunting down runaway souls. It is... AWESOME! Filled with violence, gratuitous nudity and an incredibly funny and eccentric performance by Fitchner that would give Michael Moriarty a run for his money. Highly recommend.

I'm curious, has anyone watched Sharknado. I have just enough bile fascination to be interested...

I was pleasantly surprised by this film and it's sense of humor. Basically a spoof of horror films focusing on city slickers who end up trapped in a rural area and hunted by the locals. If you've seen Deliverance, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, Southern Comfort or Straw Dogs, you know the drill... The funny thing here is, the two hillbillies are nice fellows, and the city slickers keep accidentally killing each other in violent ways and causing the survivors to misinterpreting the deaths as murders. It's kind of funny to see the college students act like typical horror movie characters while the hillbillies are absolutely not monsters. It's not brilliant or anything, but if you've seen any of the films listed above, you'll appreciate the inside jokes.
