HOWLING 2: YOUR SISTER IS A WEREWOLF (R) HEMDALE FILMS/MGM (1985)
Starring: Christopher Lee, Annie McEnroe, Reb Brown, Marsha Hunt, Sybil Danning & more.
This sequel sort of takes off were the original one ends. Cristopher Lee stars as a werewolf expert who let's
Ben know that his sister has been turned into a werewolf. He convinces him to join in the investigation &
travel to Transylvania to kill the queen werewolf. This was a very disappointing sequel to a very classic film,
bad & some very good werewolf movies out there. This one lies somewhere in the middle. You will want to
watch this if you seen the first one, but the movie still stands on it's own.
MOTHER OF TEARS (R) DIMENSION EXTREME (2007)
Starring: Asia Argento, Christian Solimeno, Adam James, Moran Atias, Valeria Cavalli & more.
Asia Argento is working in a museum in Rome when her & a co-worker open up an old urn. They have
descend on Rome & cause all forms of violent & bloody acts. This is the third instalment in Dario Argentos
Three Mothers Trilogy. This was filled with some really bizarre, gory & violent scenes. If your a fan of
Dario's films already then you'll love this one as well. It helps that Asia is the main star as well.

PUPPET MASTER VS. DEMONIC TOYS (TV-14) ANCHOR BAY/ SCI FI (2004)

toys. She wants them to be put in all the toys before Christmas so they will emerge to life on Christmas
morning when the kids open them up. The toys will kill & destroy anything so they can take over the world.

PUPPET MASTER series, which was originally made for TV!

rogue crocodile. They get their boat smashed & find themselves trapped on a small patch of land. They are

films in the past few years. Filled with enough suspense, action, gore & violence. Check it out, you'll want to
watch this one a few times, cause it's really good!
STEEL TRAP (R) DIMENSION EXTREME (2007)
Starring: Georgia Mackenzie, Mark Wilson, Pascal Langdale, Julia Ballard, Joanna Bobin & more.
On New Years Eve a bunch of people are having a party in an abandoned high rise. A handful of minor
celebrities at the party get text messages to come to a private party on an upper floor. When they arrive
there they are giving some cards with different information on them. They don't know who is behind this
whole party set up. They must follow some instruction to find clues about the party. As they do this more
& more of the party guests are being killed off. The film had a similar concept as the SAW movies where
they need to find out clues to survive the situations they are in. Some of the characters are really annoying &
you can't wait for them to die. Which they all do, so you will be happy in the end!
THE HIVE (NR) RHI ENTERTAINMENT (2008)
Starring: Tom Wopat, Kal Weber, Elizabeth Healey, Mark Ramsey, Jessica Reavis & more.
On a remote Asian island a discovery is made of millions army ants that are devouring everything &
everyone in their path. The ants are very fierce, violent & aggressive & destroy anything they can. A group
on military exterminators are sent in to wipe out these dangerous bugs before they can hit the main land.
They have these sonic guns that immobilize the ants so they can be set ablaze & wiped out. The film stars
Tom Wopat of
DUKES OF HAZARD fame. It looks like it was a made for TV Sci Fi Channel movie, but
I'm not sure. The story was a little weak & so were the special effects, but it was a decent creature/ monster
movie.
THE MORGUE (R) LIONSGATE (2008)
Starring: Bill Cobbs, Lisa Crilley, Chris Devlin, Heather Donahue, Googy Gress & more.
Six strangers get trapped in a morgue one night & do what they can to survive through this horrific night.
They need to survive because there is a mysterious undead ex-employee haunting them & trying to kill them.
This is more a psychological thriller than an all out Horror flick. The movie stars Heather Donahue from
THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. The film was a little confusing at times & kind of jumped all over the
place, but tied itself together by the end. This wasn't one of the best films I've seen of this genre, but it was
worth at least one viewing. Check it out if you'd like, but you now know what to expect!
TRILOQUIST (R) DIMENSION EXTREME (2008)
Starring: Rocky Marquette, Paydin Lo Pachin, Katie Chonacas, Bruce Weitz, Sahar Bibiyan & more.
Two orphans head out on the road towards Las Vegas to try & make it big. They bring along their homicidal
ventriloquist dummy, which was the wrong thing to do. The teens find themselves in a heap of trouble when
the dummy convinces them to do some horrific acts of murder. The silent brother wants to stop the
murders, but his psycho sister indulges in it more & more. She even kidnap's a young girl & sexual &
physically abuses her. This was a bizarre film that kind of messes with your head, cause you never really
know if the kids are doing the killings or if the dummy is actually alive & doing it on it's own. There is a
little bit of dark humor mixed in with the blood & violence.
ZOMBIE ISLAND MASSACRE (R) TROMA ENTERTAINMENT (1984)
Starring: David Broadnax, Rita Jenrette, Tom Cantrell, Diane Clayre Holub, George Peters & more.
A group of American tourist are vacationing on a small Caribbean island. While there they take a tour of the
island & witness a bizarre voodoo ritual. Soon they find themselves trapped on the island. They must help
each other survive & escape the island from some deranged killers. They soon realize the ritual has turned the
islanders into blood thirsty zombies. The film is a bit slow at the start, but then kicks in once the deaths
start. The story is a bit weak & the actors are bit over acting, but all Hardcore zombie fans will enjoy this
flick!
