13: GAME OF DEATH (R) DIMENSION EXTREME (2008)
Starring: Krissada Terrenco, Achita Wuthinounsurasit, Sarunyn Wongkrachane, Nattaping Arunnate & more.
A young business man ends up falling in debt & losing his job, when he gets a mysterious phone call. The person
on the other line asks him if he would like to make some money to help himself get out of debt. He asks what he
has to do. They say do what ever they say & he will continue to win more & more money. The first one is a
very simple task, kill a fly that is buzzing around him. The tasks just keep getting weirder & more elaborate.
They make him do 13 different things in order to win the grand total. They send him all over the city & he must
do what they say along the way. There are some really bizarre twists & disturbing things they make him do. The
end reveals who is doing this to him & why! This was a really cool Thai movie that has a twist ending like the
SAW films!
ANACONDA 3: OFFSPRING (R) SONY PICTURES (2008)
Starring: Crystal Allen, David Hasselhoff, John Rhys-Davies, Patrick Regis, Anthony Green & more.
A billionaire hires a mercenary to track down & capture an elusive anaconda that may hold the cure for his life
actually kind of worked the part well in this film. Once they get the snake where they want it, it escapes &
starts attacking the mercenary team & killing them off one by one. The snake is done with CGI & is very
obvious too. I did like how violent & bloody this addition to the series was, especially since it was originally
made for the Sci-Fi channel. If you can get past the bad acting, especially from Hasselhoff, then you can actually
enjoy this film!

DRIVE THRU (R) LIONS GATE (2007)
Starring:Leighton Meester, Nicholas D'agosto, Melora Hardin, Lola Glaudini, Sita Young & more.
Nothing ever happens in a small town in California, but the residents of this town are about to get some
excitement. The evil mascot, Horny The Clown, for a local burger joint called Hella Burger starts a murderous
rampage. The teens from the town are being attacked & the parents of the teens are getting killed off. The teens
& parents are becoming terrified & don't know what to do, but of the teens has had enough. She is tired of seeing
her friends slaughtered decided to set up a trap & end this psychotic clowns killing spree. In the end they find
out who the Killer Clown is & why he has gone on the killing spree. This is one of those teen Horror flicks that
mixes in the comedy with the killing. This was actually reminiscent of some of the films that came out in the
80's that were in the same genre. Hit the Drive Thru!
FEAST 3: THE HAPPY FINISH (R) DIMENSION EXTREME (2009)
Starring: Jenny Wade, Martin Klebba, Diane Goldner, Hanna Putnam, Carl Anthony Payne III & more.
The FEAST films are one of the best & original Horror series to come about in the last 10 years. I really enjoyed
the first two films a lot. They had the right balance of Horror & comedy mixed together. This third installment
kind of let me down though. The film picks up right where the 2nd one left off. The people of the small town are
trapped on the roof of a building trying to escape these vicious & disgusting alien type creatures, when they are
attacked & forced to seek refuge somewhere else. They head for the sewers. They tried being up above them so
now maybe below will be the only way they can escape. There is a good blend of the Horror & comedy & gore
again, but this one has gone even further & more far fetched. Some of the new characters were annoying & you
couldn't wait to see them die. The ending made no sense at all, which I'm sure is exactly how they wanted it to
end!
KILLER PAD (R) LIONS GATE (2008)
Starring: Daniel Franzese, Eric Jungman, Shane McRae, Emily Foxler, Jeff Bryan Davis & more.
The only real reason I wanted to see this flick was because it was directed by Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger).
As most of the movies he's in as well as directed he likes to add a bit of comedy in with his Horror. The story
follows 3 young guys who want to get a place of their own, find a Killer Pad that they want to rent. What they
don't realize is how killer it is. They discover something in the basement that starts to freak them out. There is a
portal straight to hell & it has unleashed some crazy stuff. Some beautiful women show up to their house
warming party & bring lots of friends. What they don't realize is these women are spawns from Hell & are there
to kill all the people there as sacrifices. This was done in the style of a lot of the 80's flicks of the same style!
MUSTANG SALLY'S HORROR HOUSE (R) AMERICAN WORLD PICTURES (2006)
Starring: Elizabeth Daily, Lindsey Labrum, Mark Parrish, Erik Fellows, Tina McDowelle & more.
Six college buddies want to have a little fun between semesters so they decide to visit Mustang Sally's whore
house. They are expecting to meet some hot & sexy women, which they do, but they get a little more than what
they were expecting. The girls of Mustang Sally's are vicious, evil, violent & sexy women who sleep with their
clients & then kill them. This is done in a campy comedy Horror style with the great Elizabeth Daily playing
the main role. The film was low budget & the guys were really annoying, so you couldn't wait for the girls to
kill them off. Not one of the best films out there, but a decent one at that. It was almost like a mix between THE
BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS & TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.
NIGHTMARE MAN (R) AFTER DARK FILMS (2006)
Starring: Tiffany Shepis, Blythe Metz, Luciano Szafir, James Ferris, Jack Sway & more.
Ellen is a person who collects foreign artifacts from around the world. She receives an African fertility mask &
things starts to get bizarre. She starts being attacked by a demon called the Nightmare Man. As she gets more
paranoid her husband becomes worried. He doesn't know if he should believe her or if she needs professional
help. The husband start to see strange things happening too & gets worried They both are now fighting to save
their lives from this demon. The movie was a little dark & strange, but had some real creepy parts too. A
definite must for anyone who is a fan of the rest of the AFTER DARK FILMS.
TOKYO ZOMBIE (R) ANCHOR BAY (2005)
Starring: Tadanobu Asano, Sho Aikawa, Erika Okuda, Arata Furuta, Hina Matsuoka & more.
Two guys work in a fire extinguisher factory in Tokyo Japan. They both hate their jobs & want to become
Jujitsu champions. They are constantly practicing at work & their boss is always yelling at them & beating
them up. A sudden Zombie invasion plagues Tokyo & they must now use their limited jujitsu skills to battle
the undead & stay alive. The city gets overrun by the Zombies. They join up with other fighters to take back
the city. The rich have already been capturing the Zombies & using them for their own enjoyment. They make
them fight each other in an arena. Some times they fight living people & then eat the losers. This Zombie flick
had a lot of comedy mixed in & was some what of a satire of other Zombie flicks. The film is based on the
Manga Comic of the same name.
WRESTLE MANIAC (R) ANCHOR BAY (2006)
Starring: Ray Misterio Sr., Irwin Keyes, Adam Huss, Leyla Milani, Catherine Wreford & more.
A young independent film maker is looking for the perfect location to shoot his feature film. They come upon a
small remote Mexican ghost town as their location. They starts filming parts of the movie when they soon find
out that this is the lair of the legendary El Mascarado. He is an old deranged Mexican wrestler who begins to
kill off the cast & crew of the film. He has to kill them off in the style of the Mexican death match style. Once
you have them pinned you must remove your opponents mask. In this case he destroys them, beats them up &
then rips their face off. The only way to defeat him is to pin him down & remove his mask. This films sounds
pretty cheesy & dumb, but it was done really well & has a lot of really cool bloody death scenes. Enter the ring!

ZOMBIE STRIPPERS (R) SONY PICTURES (2008)
Starring: Jenna Jameson, Robert Englund, Penny Drake, Roxy Saint, Whitney Anderson & more.
With a name like ZOMBIE STRIPPERS, how could you not want to see this film. I was expecting this to be
really bad, but it was really good. A government experiment goes horribly wrong & some of the infected escape
to compound. They retreat to a near by strip club to hide out. As the virus grows more & more inside, so does
rival strippers working in the club who keep fighting each other. The infected one attacks the other & bites her.
They keep attacking other strippers & customers in the club until everyone is turned into Zombies. A few of
the people who survive are trying to take out the ZOMBIE STRIPPERS before they get eaten themselves. This
was a really killer flick that had a lot of Comedy, Horror, Gore & naked strippers. Every Zombie fan must see
this flick!
