When he comes to Ribeirão Preto, a city that is experiencing an epidemic of the same mosquito, because of the excess of still water, he promotes chaos. His bite is deadly, it’s not like the normal mosquito. His giant stinger kills the person’s immediately, however, its venom takes effect.

Reviews:

“If this flick has anything going for it then it’s the gore. Don’t get me wrong, the fx are cheap as chips but the film delivers in the grue department: heads are split in half with a machete, throats are slit and – surely a first – a woman is killed with a horseshoe! Also, the film is book ended by a couple of relatively effective scenes (a hitchhiker is chased down near the beginning and the killer goes postal during the, er, climax). It’s topped off with some suitably cheesy, and not very effective twists… Justin Kerswell, Hysteria Lives

“This movie really does tick all the miniscule budget horror boxes.  Shot on video ?…  Check.  Chintzy synth score ?…  Check.  Actresses not nearly hot enough for their sexpot roles?…  Check.  Animal from Hey Hey It’s Saturday fisting a bongo ?…  You better believe it.” Pete Laurie, Bored and Dangerous

“The plot is completely unoriginal, the resident Psycho doesn’t have any screen presence, and the pace is so unrelentingly sombre that you are left wondering when the end credits might finally come up to put the movie out of it’s misery. For those that like a high body count and cheesy gore effects, dive in there’s something in there for you.” Scary Minds

Plot teaser:

The residents of the small town of Pebbles Court are the unknowing test subjects for a new variety of “Vimuville” dietary supplement pills that arrive for free in their mailboxes. The pills are designed to produce the ultimate healthy human, but have unexpected side effects including hallucinations and mutations.

The pills are consumed by the residents producing liquefying flesh, elongated tongues, exploding stomachs, exploding penises, imploding heads, monstrous births, tentacles growing out of the face, living mucus, sentient placentas, and other gruesome mutations. Ultimately more and more of the residents of the Pebbles Court mutate or die horrific deaths, until almost every character has been dispatched…

Reviews:

This is a vapid American Werewolf-influenced frat humour-filled time-waster that did well on VHS in the mid-1980s. Grace Jones featured extensively in the sales imagery but her role is minimal. The overt green/blue/red lighting was stylish when Dario Argento defined it well in Inferno (1980) but six years later it was passé and now makes Vamp seem very dated. Making the combo of vampires and strippers dull would seen to be impossible but, alas, Wenk and his cohorts manage it.

“There are some funny lines, and the relationship between the human kid and his best pal the vampire is handled with a lot of original twists. But the movie finally descends, as so many films do these days, to one of those assembly-line endings made up of fights and chases.” Roger Ebert

” … a fun vampire movie with that undeniable 80’s movie feel. It plays with that delicate balance between comedy and horror. Not every movie is successful in this merging of genres. Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) for example failed horribly at it. The comedy in Vamp falls a little on the silly side; it has the kind of humor you’d find in films like Revenge of the Nerds (1984) or Porky’s (1982).” The Film Connossieur

“Director Richard Wenk slathers the film in 80’s purple and green lighting through almost the entire run time. I would say this looks like crap if I saw it in a modern movie but this is an 80’s movie and for whatever reason it seems to work. Wenk seems to know how to set up some interesting ideas and visuals and they do mostly work for the film.” Rogue’s Hollow

Attractive Lindsay Finch (Mary Charlotte Wilcox) has a habit of dressing in mourning and attending wakes for men she never knew. When everyone else leaves, she kneels before the coffins and kisses the corpses passionately. However, at the many parties she holds at her house, she shows no interest in any of the (living) men. She is also fixated with her deceased father (Michael Pardue), frequently daydreaming about her childhood with him and putting her hair in pigtails to visit his grave.

Reviews:

” … mostly a camp-fest directed by someone who obviously had little knowledge of the horror genre and no film experience whatsoever. However, this doesn’t mean that it’s not a watchable time capsule curio, and the backdrop of early 1970s Southern California is just as interesting as the actors themselves. The sight of statuesque Mary Wilcox kissing actors pretending to be corpses while not trying to crack a welcomed smile is amusing, and this is about as intense as her necrophilic activities get.” George R. Reis, DVD Drive-In

“While a good part of the movie is devoted to a pretty standard, sexless romance between funeral-haunting rich-bitch heroine Lindsay (Mary Wilcox) and humpy-yet-bland suitor Alex (Waggoner, who must still be cursing his agents to this day for this role), it’s punctuated with enough nastiness (attempted date-rape, corpse orgies, aforementioned crocheted ensembles) to keep you suitably off-balance.” Camp Blood

“Sleaze fan-addicts will likely be disappointed in this exercise of sex with the living and the dead. The storyline has so much going for it, but the director wastes far too many opportunities for me to recommend this to anyone other than die hard 70’s horror film completists.” Cool Ass Cinema

“As in Psycho–the film Love Me Deadly wants so desperately to match in terms of “shock value”–director Lacerte offers a full psycho-pathological post-mortem toward the end of the story. But who cares, really?  Hitchcock’s decision to spend the last ten minutes of Psycho “diagnosing” Norman is the film’s one stumble, and the device is even less convincing here.” Ludic Despair

“The whole idea of crazed, rotting inmates vs. non-crazed mates vs. soldiers never comes near the greatness of the images that conjure in your head while watching, and as the last reel commences you’ve found its been a “watchable” waste of time and concept. Although Death House is quite fleet of foot and manages to cover its meager twists well while Saxon’s direction doesn’t particularly stand out from the army of other bargain video wonders from the era.” Basement of Ghoulish Decadence

“Zombie Death House is confusing, very choppy, and covered with loose ends. However, it is a fun  movie because it is classic 80’s cheese. All but one female is blonde with big hair, the dialogue is corny, and there are occasions of unrelated placement of boobies.” Lee Roberts, Best Horror Movies

“Along with any good in this movie there is an equal amount of the absurd. There is so much voice over in this film from so many sources that it’s laughable, and it starts at the very beginning. Add to that the fact that we are thrown into the first montage before the opening credits have finished cycling and you are left dumbfounded before you even know what the film is about.” Horror’s Not Dead

“Sure the film is slow to develop the pedestrian plight of the falsely imprisoned hero (Dennis Cole), and there’s nothing much to recommend it to serious cinema fans, but this flick is great viewing for a B movie night…” Glenn Kay, Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide

Review:

“Iced is probably worse than the modernised snowboard film, in nearly every way. You think that the final twenty five minutes will redeem the crap before. No, it doesn’t, because more quick cuts and cheesy dramatics fill the feature even further. This is just a slasher movie that secretly wants to be a Soap Opera, and has an ending that clears nothing up. While I sort of enjoyed it, a recommendation would just be cruel.” Josh G., Oh, the Horror!

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

“Iced is not a very good movie. Technically, it’s a bit of a mess with horrible editing, slow pacing and overtly misguided dialog (with only marginal acting at times), but if you’re a USA Up All Night kind of person (and who isn’t?), then this movie is a must. Plus, there’s plenty of boobs (courtesy of Lisa Loring who played Wednesday in the original Addams Family) and some decent blood to keep the proceedings going. There’s also a surprising amount of male nudity.” Amanda by Night, Retro Slashers

“Iced is a 1988 horror movie about skiing. You’ll see a lot of it. It’s also a movie about ass. You’ll see a lot of that, too. It’s a strange dichotomy that, I think you’ll agree, doesn’t work at all for a horror movie.

Hell, the title doesn’t even work. “Iced” is more of a title for a movie about ice skating, or ice hockey, or de-icing planes, but not skiing. It doesn’t make any sense. Not making any sense, by the way, is the third of the film’s major themes.” Dr. Boogie, I-mockery.com

‘Open the Gate. Step In. Lose Your Mind.’

Flesh for the Beast is a 2003 American horror film directed and written by Terry M. West (Witchbabe: The Erotic Witch Project 3; Vampire Queen; Satan’s School for Lust). The film’s score is by Buckethead.

A graphic novel tie-in was released the following year through Media Blasters.

Plot teaser:

A group of parapsychologists are called in to investigate a mansion with a reputation for being haunted, as it was previously a brothel where many men would go missing. One of the investigators, Erin Cooper (Jane Scarlett) finds herself particularly drawn to the place. As the night progresses the group discovers that they are not alone and that three succubi inhabit the house, imprisoned by a warlock’s amulet. The amulet would give its user the ability to control the succubi, giving them extreme amounts of power. The succubi kill the group members one by one as the group tries desperately to discover the amulet’s whereabouts and perform a ritual that would stop the succubi…

Reviews:

“Flesh of the Beast gets the look down almost exactly right, with plenty of atmospheric lighting, a wonderfully moody credits sequence, and some flashy, mobile camerawork. The gore flows thick and heavy throughout (though the latex masks aren’t nearly as impressive), and while it’s hard to top an opener that finds one character upchucking into the gory remains of another, the filmmakers certainly do their damnedest. The film doesn’t slouch in the nudity department either, as the demon-vixens remain unclad for entire scenes at a time.” Mondo Digital

“Derivative, indifferently acted, artlessly photographed and awash in nudity and rudimentary gore effects.” Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide

” … this one focuses less on the scares and more on the naked girls and gore. Speaking of which, the gore isn’t too bad. Lots of entrails torn from victims, as usual, and these ladies seem to enjoy the intestines as much as your typical Hollywood zombie would. A couple scenes of pure blood-drenched fun are snuck into the film.” HorrorNews.net

Reviews:

Although lacking in production values, Blood Tide cannot be faulted for its actors, all of whom do their best with the material they are presented. As noted previously, the concepts sketched throughout the film are fascinating and stimulating to the imagination. Sadly, the execution of the film results in a talky, bland, and tensionless movie, one that few will be able to sit through to the lackluster conclusion.” Octavio Ramos, Albuquerque Examiner

“The main focus of a sea monster movie should be the damn sea monster not a shirtless James Earl Jones. Therefore, the sea monster needs to look fucking amazing. Instead, the team behind this one offered up James Earl Jones, shiny bod and all, instead of giving us a great looking sea monster. The monster is the worst looking creature in cinema history and makes the killer elves in Elves look like a fucking masterpiece.” Horror Society

“A pretty bad, but rather fun, old-fashioned monster movie. The monster itself might be The Return of the Giant Claw, and is, wisely, never seen very clearly (Clearly enough, however, once for camp purposes).” Donald C. Willis, Horror and Science Fiction Films III

“Sundry killings ensue, but little tension or atmosphere is generated. Jones overplays alarmingly, while Ferrer and Kedrova have little to do as furrowed-browed locals, the latter a nun. The monster itself appears only briefly, which is perhaps just as well since it is all too obviously a rubber dummy.” Phil Hardy (editor), The Aurum Film Encyclopedia: Horror

The film was released on VHS by Troma Entertainment in 1996 with a cover retitle of Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo. Owing a large debt to Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead films with its mix of horror and comedy, the film features a torn Evil Dead II poster in much the same way The Evil Dead features a torn The Hills Have Eyes poster. It features stop-motion effects.

Reviews:

“This movie is insane, and nothing I type here will do that insanity justice. Let’s start with the old man character, who is actually just some guy in an old man mask for no other reason than I guess there were no seniors willing to work in this mess? There’s killer monster puppets birthed from chili who attack while a theme song about chili plays on the soundtrack. A crazy dragon-bat that eats a pilot’s head through a plane window in mid-flight. A topless succubus woman ripped from the pages of a porno magazine who turns into a classic Raimi-style horror hag.” Digital Confederacy

” … it hardly even shows any technical finesse let alone creative promise. But as said before, such a lack of anything resembling filmic capabilities can result in an entertaining film, something that Frostbiter sometimes even approaches being – had it only not pumped up the fucking volume of its soundtrack. It seriously ruins what might have been a good – or at least decently passable – bad-film experience.” A Wasted LIfe

Plot teaser:

Madison and her children live in a quiet suburban home but are awoken nightly by an increasingly strange and intense presence. Madison desperately seeks help from her scientist boyfriend Nikolai, who begins a hunt to destroy the violent spirit that paranormal experts are too frightened to undertake…

Reviews:

“Ultimately, The Diabolical has enough scares to to be worthwhile as a genre flick and enough brains to provide a story worth watching. A few plot gaps and unanswered questions keep it from being a great horror movie, but it’s still a very enjoyable one.” Alexander Lowe, We Got This Covered

“The Diabolical just doesn’t do enough with its entire running time and it serves as an example of how the new model of an old horror trope with a new twist is growing tired as well. Still, there is enough thought-provoking sci-fi horror at the climax to maybe justify a watch if you’re looking to watch every new release that comes out.” Drew Tinnin, Dread Central

“Who the ghostly presences are and why they are dogging this family are cleverly revealed in bite size chunks throughout the film creating oodles of ambiguity which keeps the audience on tenterhooks until the quandary is finally resolved.” Howard Gorman, Scream

Reviews:

Unlike most of the black horror ‘hood sub-genre movies, Ronald K. Armstrong’s bugsploitation pic is more subtle and at least mildly amusing. The insects, which seem to be giant crickets, are memorably weird: they seem to have human characteristics (at one point, a bug turns off a light switch!). Some common male stereotypes are mocked but the lack of budget means that a few muffed lines are left in. For the most part, Bugged is a passable trash film time-waster if you’re in a charitable mood but it’s not worth seeking out and the ending is ineffectual.

Adrian J Smith, Horrorpedia

“Bugged never takes itself seriously. Unlike most Troma products, some of the attempts at humor actually work, such as when the giant bug picks up Dave’s gun and shoots at him, or when the bugs throw a frozen chicken tied to a rope into the house to go “people fishing”. Still, the mere cheapitude of it all — including the bargain-basement acting — weakens the impact of even the best moments.” BlackHorrorMovies.com

Plot teaser:

Nerdy college student Alistair McDowell (David Weidoff) moves in with law school drop-out Larnell (John Patrick Jordan), typical “surfer-stoner” Bachman (Mitch Eakins) and former baseball player Brett (Brian Lloyd).

Later that night, Bachman wakes up in a strip club where he meets Ooga Booga and Ivan Burroughs. He’s introduced by one of the strippers (Kristen Cladwell) who has skull heads on the cups of her bra.

When he comes near the bra, the skull heads start biting him in the neck and he bleeds to death. The next morning, the other roommates find Bachman dead on the couch. Alistair tells to them that it’s probably from the weed that came with the bong…

Reviews:

” …if stupid-on-purpose moron comedies like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes or anything starring Pauly Shore trip your humor trigger, Evil Bong should be right up your alley. “Serious” horror-film fans can safely skip this one as the “horror” content is limited to a few gory bits when the boys run afoul of those flesh-eating stripper bras, and in some quick cameos by creatures/characters from other Full Moon features in the “Bong World” sequences.” Fat Freddy’s Cat

” …the film does have some funny moments, whether it be declarations about the journalistic integrity of High Times magazine or the hateful insults from a wheelchair bound old man directed at his slacker grandson. A lot of the humor has a sitcom feel to it. That could also be because the majority of the film is set in the living room of this one apartment (much like a sitcom)…” John Condit, Dread Central

“Of course the “special” effects are just the opposite, as practically inanimate puppets and props plague us for 90 minutes with little-to-no movement whatsoever. The entire thing happened inside the movie’s single set and I got real bored of this loser lair real quick. I may hate natural light and there being a world beyond my apartment, but it doesn’t mean I don’t like to be reminded of what it looks like from time-to-time.” The Tomb of Anubis

“Then there’s the bras. What’s scarier (and sexier) than cheap ass latex-looking skulls, sharks, and lips covering the nasty bits on the strippers that live in a club conveniently located right inside of a bong? Nothing, that’s what.” Kimmy Karnage, Horror Homework
