Since It's That Time Of The Year Let's Take A Look At The French Classic 'INSIDE':

Follow Me Over At Slasher:

Since it's that time of the season and we're fully engulfed in the Christmas season, a film I highly recommend watching this time of year would be the French horror classic 'INSIDE'. The film was released in June 2007 under the French title l'intérieur

The Story centers around: A Sarah a young mother to be afraid losing the father of her unborn child four months earlier in a horrific automobile accident a still still depressed Sarah decides to stay home for the holidays in hopes of maybe delivering a Christmas baby.

It's Christmas Eve night in the wee hours of the morning a sudden knock at the door changes everything when an almost Possessed like scissor-wielding maniac of a woman shows up at Sarah's door and all hell breaks loose. 

Bound and determined to get in and remove Sarah's unborn child from the womb and claim the child as her own. The seemingly evil psychotic woman unleashes a brutal blood soaked all night attack on Sarah. 

Now Sarah all alone with most neighbors away for the holidays a very pregnant Sarah must fight till the death to protect herself and her unborn child. In an all out fight to the death...

I bought this film years ago when Dimension Films were releasing some fantastic horror films from all around the world under the studios Dimension Extreme banner. It was truly a wonderful time to be a horror fan. 

À l'intérieur aka INSIDE is one of the most brutal gruesome films I have ever seen and in my opinion a true French horror masterpiece..

Written By Alexandre Bustillo and Directed By Julien Maury/Alexandre Bustillo the film stars: Alysson Paradis, Nathalie Roussel and Béatrice Dalle. 

If you are a fan of films based around Christmas with a horror twist I highly recommend this awesome flick. Just keep in mind if you are dealing with emmonal issues involving the lost of a child or anything like that, this film might not be for you so please keep that in mind. Plus if you pick up a copy released under the 

Dimension Extreme banner make sure it's the Un-Rated version because the edited version was hacked to death with most brutal scenes removed in about an 8 minute gut feast lol. 

Back in 2016 the film industry decided to do the only thing those knuckles heads knows how to do and that's remake classic films. The remake Starred Rachel Nichols and Laura Harring. Two very strong actress giving a poorly written script. 

The movie was written by Miguel Ángel Vivas and Directed by Jaume Balagueró Bernat along with Miguel Ángel Vivas.. The film was finally released in North America in 2018. Inspit of Rachel Nichols and Laura Harring giving it their all the movie film was pretty horrible and disappeared from everyone's memory soon afterwards. Anyways 

You can buy the original 2007 film uncut digital copy of the flick on Vudu right now for $3.99. that's a fantastic price but just keep in mind it only carries English subtitles. If you buy the Dimension Extreme DVD you have the option to watch the film dubbed in English..

🥇10 out of 10 Severed Thumbs 👍🏻 and that friend's is the bottom line...

I Finally Bought 'Crystal Lake Memories':

Follow Me Over At Slasher:

I finally bought two documentaries I have been dying to own especially 'Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History Of Friday the 13th'. It's not something I can really afford right now but it was less than $20 bucks. The documentary is nearly 7 hrs long (6h 40m) to be a exact so why not get it right?

Plus the guess what's included with the documentary? Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy wooohooo lol. I'm not going to lie I've never been a massive fan of A Nightmare On Elm Street films.

Don't get me wrong I loved the heck out of the first film. To me the movie was actually scary I also enjoyed Nightmare 2 but after those first two films Freddy Krueger started to behave more like a cartoon character and less like a scary killer. The films and stories kept getting sillier and sillier.

From Nightmare 3 and beyond the stories seem to be geared more towards children than horror fans. Wes Craven tried to make Freddy scary again with A New Nightmare but no most fans seem to reject that movie. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Hollywood did try to bring Freddy back with an ill fated remake.

To be honest I thought Jackie Earle Haley tried his best with the character but when you have absolutely nothing to work with your chances of success is less than zero 🤦🏻‍♂️ anyways

Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy has a runtime of 4 hours so I'm definitely looking forward to checking it out.

But needless to say the whole reason I purchased these two documentaries is because I'm a massive Friday The 13th fan. I have been since I watched the first movie when I was 8 years old.

Seen the second film in theaters when I was 10 years old. I've seen every Friday movie in theaters since part 2 and watched everyone of them on HBO, VHS, DVD and of course streaming hundreds of times over the years. These films never get old too me. Well I must admit I'm no fan of the remake and only seen it a hard full of times.

Finally Watched Eli Roth's 'THANKSGIVING' Was It Worth The Wait?

Follow Me Over At Slasher:

So the wife and I finally, finally , finally watched Eli Roth's 'Thanksgiving' last night.  We have been dying to see this flick every since it hit theaters last year heck actually I've been wanting to see this flick every since the 

Mock/fake trailer first appeared in Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino 2007's 'GRINDHOUSE' double feature. 

As far back as 2007 Eli Roth talked about turning the fake trailer into a feature film. It took 15 years for the film to finally become a reality. 

Like I said I've been waiting all these years to see this film unfortunately with all our doctor appointments and just being sick we never got the chance to see the film on the big screen of course once the film landed on Blu-ray at the beginning of this year I couldn't wait to pick up a copy. 

My younger brother actually beat me to it and bought the film for me. I decided not to watch the film then because wanted to see the film for the first time on Thanksgiving and watching a horror movie that centers around on Thanksgiving just wouldn't be any fun, right? 

So I resisted the urge and waited and waited till Thanksgiving night To finally watch the film soooo was it worth the longgggg wait? You better believe it! The wife and I both loved every minute of the film...

Eli Roth's 'Thanksgiving' is a throwback to the old slasher movie of the 80s! The film had sold acting and was pretty sweet with the gore and the kills. What I loved about the flick it really showed how this TikTok, Instagram generation are just so self absorbed with themselves. And no I'm not just calling out young people I've seen people my age who are just as bad if not worse. 

Anyways the story centers around a mob of BLACK FRIDAY Shoppers gathers outside the town's local Walmart I mean RightMart in hopes of getting a few pennies off of TVs and other junk no one really needs. 

The mob stampede ends up leaving to several injuries and death. One year later A mysterious maniac who dresses like a Thanksgiving Pilgrim starts brutally terrorizing the residents of Plymouth, Massachusetts, picking off victims one by one.

Thanksgiving 🦃 is easily Eli Roth's best film in years in my opinion of course. Like I said at the beginning my little review the film has sold acting a good old fashioned slasher storyline, the film doesn't try to be more than a good horror film. 

The kills are good and the special effects is solid but the most positive I can say about the film the villain. The killer is actually interesting. Thanksgiving is a sold grand slam for Roth and an awesome return to horror for Eli Roth 🎩⛏️

10 out of 10 🦃 for the film! If you haven't seen it definitely check it out and give the film a chance.

And that friend's is the bottom line Gobble Gobble

Taking A Look At Ed Wood's 'GLEN OR GLENDA' From Screen Classics:

Follow Me Over At Slasher:

Don't care what anyone says Ed Wood's 'GLEN OR GLENDA' is a masterpiece. All joking aside I actually did enjoy the film yes it's one of those I guess you could call it's so bad it's good. You can tell this was a very personal story for Ed Wood after all he was a Cross-dresser. 

Not something I would ever be into but I know a lot of people are. Whatever floats your boat. But I couldn't imagine trying to explain this to very conservative 1950s Americans 🤦🏻‍♂️ 

Exploitation/Sexploitation

Z movie producer George Weiss who owned the highly low budget production company 'Screen Classics' wanted to make a film based on Jorgensen's story but he could not land the rights. So he decided to hire Ed Wood to come up with a script similar Jorgensen's story.

Shot on a budget of $20 thousand dollars and released in 1953 via Screen Classics the film was critically panned and a financial flop for producer George Weiss with many critics calling the film worst movie ever made. But over the decades the flick has gained a solid cult following. Christine Jorgensen who gained notoriety in the United States after having a sex change operation in Europe. 

I can tell you right now this film is not even in the same ballpark when talking about worst films ever made. I would honestly give the film a 7 out of 10 Severed Thumbs. 

By no means am I going to tell anyone to check it out unless you are open minded and willing to give a story like this a chance.

Plot: Glen doesn't dare tell his fiancée Barbara that he likes to wear women's clothes; in addition, Alan is undergoing painful surgery to become a woman; both stories are told by a psychiatrist.

Cast: Ed Wood, Timothy Farrell, Dolores Fuller, Lyle Talbot, Conrad Brooks and Bela Lugosi

Produced by George Weiss

Written and Directed by Ed Wood

Watched The Giant Spider Flick 'STING':

Follow Me Over At Slasher:

Okay so I Watched the 2024 Australian creature feature 'STING' the other night.

I actually bought the digital copy a few days ago from Vudu for only $5 bucks. I have always been a fan of these type of films but yeah even an I can admit they are pretty hit or miss.

So is Sting a hit or another miss? I can assure you the film is not only a hit but a solid inside the park home run for the genre!!

Filmed in Sydney and New South Wales, Australia. The Story centers around an alien spider creature thing crashing into an Apartment building in New York City one winter night.

When 12-year-old Charlotte discovers the usual spider she decides to secretly raises it as a pet. Each time Charlotte feeds her new pet spider it grows at a rapid rate quickly transforms into a giant, flesh-eating monster.

Charlotte quickly realizes if she wants to survive she must find a way to defeat her once pet.

Sting is an old fashioned giant monster Creature Feature kind of like a throwback to the 1950, 60s, 70s and early 80s back when films of this type of genre didn't take themselves to serious.

The flick deliveries strong special effects via Wētā Workshop along with good performances coming from Australian actors Ryan Corr, Alyla Browne, Penelope Mitchell, Robyn Nevin and Noni Hazelhurst, With Comedian Jermaine Fow (Washington, D.C's) rounding out the cast.

As far as budget goes I can't imagine being to over the top because the film was produced primary by Australian production companies Screen Australia and Screen NSW.. So my guess would be $2 to $4 million dollars? Maybe

The film is currently streaming on Disney Plus and Hulu so if you get a chance definitely check it out especially if you are a fan monster movies..
