DirtyGirl's Horror Movie A Day Challenge (Page 37 of 46)

Oct 1 - Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991) - After his girlfriend commits suicide, Ricky kills her dealer and finds himself in prison where the prisoners have no rights and are constantly abused.  Pretty damn silly, but entertaining none the less.  2.5/5.  First watch.

Have you seen Psycho III yet?  My favorite of the sequels.

Oct 3 - Smiley (2012) - When an emotionally fragile Ashley discovers the urban legend of Smiley, a serial killer who can be summoned via the internet, she must decide if she is losing her mind or if she is in line to become his next victim.  Best thing about the movie was Smiley's mask.  For a slasher, this one was pretty boring.  Very little action, no nudity and no creative or gorey kills.  2/5.  First watch.

Excision (2012) -  Aspiring to be a surgeon, a disturbed and delusional high school girl goes to extremes to earn the approval of her mother.  Twisted for sure, but not to the extent that I was expecting going in.  Darkly humorous at times with a strong cast, John Waters as a minister, Traci Lords as the uptight suburban mother, Ray Wise, Marlee Matlin, and Malcom McDowell, not to mention a terrific performance by AnnaLynne McCord as the delusional Pauline.  3.5/5.  First watch.

Didja get your movies yet?  Didja, didja?

Oct 5 - Chernobyl Diaries (2012) - Four friends on Vacation in Europe are joined by another young couple on an extreme tour of the abandoned city of Pripyat, once home to the workers of the Chernobly reactor.  But once insisde the city, they realize that they are not alone.  Better than I was expecting, I know a lot of other people didn't care for it, but I actually enjoyed it.  Good creepy atmoshere and locations.  3/5.  First watch.

Oct 6 - The Fields (2011) - While his parents try to work out their marrital problems, Steven is sent to live with his grandparents on their rural farm.  There he and his grandparents are terrorized by an unseen prescence in the corn fields.  Tara Reid is in the film for all of about 5 minutes, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, and probably the best thing about the film was Cloris Leachman as the grandmother.  It ends up being very different from the way that the film was marketed and not in a good way.  2/5.  First watch.

Oct 7 - Dream Home (2010) - Wow what a difference good subtitles make.  The first time I watched it the subtitles were pretty poor, so it was confusing with all of the flash backs.  Much better on the 2nd viewing.  4/5.  Rewatch.

Day 317-

Bloodletting- 6/10 Low budget and weird.  Just how I like them!  Lon, you sure know how to pick them...lol  I would have given it a 7 for the story and just "awesome factor"  but the acting was pretty awful.  My favourite part was at the video store.  I wish I could take a time machine back to that video store.  pretty cool

Loved how she said she was going to put on the new Peter murphy CD just to test him...lol

very cool lon that you were quoted for your review!  Surprised at all the B-Movie people in this movie including Michael Gingold from Fangoria.

Definitely low budget but I thought it had a lot of good parts more than bad.  definitely had the Tarentino banter going on... very 90s!  But I loved that about it 

If you like these kind of shot-on-video flicks I can recommend a few more.  But just a few; while SOV flicks were a rather popular movement back in the 90s and early '00s (at least here in the States) the majority of them were pure and utter shit.  Which is to be expected, considering most were made by dopes with camcorders and a free weekend.  But there are some which are just as good as anything you'll see in the theater.  Some even better.
