The new creature, with one head of a murderer and the other with the mental capacity of an eight-year old attached to an extremely powerful body, begins wreaking havoc…

Reviews:

“If you insist on making it an either/or proposition, I’d still say stick with The Thing with Two Heads but I’d also say you’d be doing yourself a disservice by not making the time for both of AIP’s two-headed-guy disasterpieces. Besides, I’m pretty sure this is the only time you’ll ever get to see John Bloom acting in his real face.” 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting

Reviews:

Nightmare is a schizophrenic puzzle of a movie. It’s director, Scavolini, shows he is able to use editing to heighten the sense of tension and horror one minute. The next, it seems he was wearing a blindfold whilst he was snipping away! He also lifts many elements from Halloween … But, like Ulli Lommel’s Bogeyman (1980), Scavolini fashions something different.” Hysteria Lives!

“Instead of emphasizing pretty teenagers and slick production numbers, Scavolini instead emphasized the sordid “reality” of the film’s rather trashy cast of characters.  There’s not a likable character to be found anywhere within this film nor is there a single scene that doesn’t feel as if it’s been drenched in sleaze.  An ominous atmosphere of impending, relentless doom hangs over every second of the film.” Lisa Marie Bowman, HorrorCritic.com

“The movie does require repeated viewings to actually understand what is going on, as it’s a bit incoherent on the screen. However, it is very compelling, with some nudity (including a lady using a sex toy while on the phone), lots of gore (including the infamous beheading) and a twist ending of sorts.” David Steigman, DVD Drive-In

“God, this movie is so, so filthy. The gore scenes are mostly unconvincing and the sex couldn’t be more unsavory (including a pivotal kinky flashback no viewer has ever forgotten), but that hardly matters when the end product still feels so grimy and unhealthy from the opening frames … but at least there’s a hefty vein of unintentional comedy running through it as well thanks to Italian-born director Romano Scavolini’s odd view of American culture.” Nathaniel Thompson, Mondo Digital

Plot:

James (Euan Douglas) is an average school teacher that has been estranged from his mother for years and has only returned to her home to settle her estate after her death. This somewhat baffles his friend Allen (Jamie Scott Gordon), as his own father is undergoing a serious illness and is unlikely to recover.

James discovers that he stands to inherit two houses from his mother: one small and average, the other a large mansion that he is urged to never again visit. Confused, James ignores her request and moves into the house in hopes of making sense of everything. He then finds evidence that he had a mental breakdown as a child, brought about by visions of a creature known as the “Owl Man” (David Schofield)…

Reviews:

“It’s hands down one of the most haunting and unique movies of the year. It could’ve done with some trimming, especially during a couple of the end sequences, but that’s my only complaint – and it’s a small one. It’s a low-budget supernatural throwback that maintains an unshakable sense of unease throughout until it’s shocking (and appropriate) conclusion.” Patrick Cooper, Bloody Disgusting

Lord of Tears is very compelling viewing, atmospheric with a great sense of loneliness, regret, sadness and horror, beautiful and at the same time chilling it stands out from the pack.” Daniel Simmonds, The Rotting Zombie

“The effect of the owl-headed man simply standing in the forest is the stuff of nightmares. The film dissects the meanings of the owl in various cultures and highlights just what makes the common forest creature so damn creepy.” Ambush Bug, Ain’t It Cool News

“Brewster maintains the tension throughout the slowburn of the film’s first half and builds with small reveals of Owly intercut with other recurring elements of James’s nightmares. Tight sound and visual editing combine with the musical score, by Andy MacDonald and Craig Sutherland, to keep this going as the film rushes to its conclusion.” The Horror Hothouse

I Ain’t Nuthin’ But a Gorehound is a 1983 song by garage-punk-rockabilly band The Cramps. The song first appeared on the band’s Smell of Female album, recorded live at the Peppermint Lounge, New York.

Lyrics:

Well, I don’t know about art, but I know what I like
I’ll be a-surfin’ in a swamp on a Saturday night
Well, I’ve been to the mountain and it’s just a big hill
I guess I’m nuthin’ but a gorehound, born to thrill
The devil gets dizzy at the stuff I dig
I go crazy, and crazy, ’til I flip my lid

‘Cuz
I ain’t nuthin’ but a gorehound
I ain’t nuthin’ but a gorehound
All I ever do is go around
‘Cuz I ain’t nuthin’ but a gorehound

Well, ain’t it nice to be nice when you can’t be nice?
Oooh, gee, you’re swell as hell, pussycats on ice
Well, the devil with a blue dress, blue dress on
I go crazy and crazy, goin’ goin’ gone
Well, ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Easy come, easy go, ain’t no big fuss

‘Cuz
I ain’t nuthin’ but a gorehound
I ain’t nuthin’ but a gorehound
All I ever do is go around
‘Cuz I ain’t nuthin’ but a gorehound

Oh, no, no…

Well, I don’t know about art, but I know what I like
I’ll be a-surfin’ in yer blood on Saturday night
Yeah, the devil with a blue dress, blue dress on
I go crazy and crazy, goin’ goin’ gone
Yeah, the devil with a blue dress, blue dress on
I go crazy and crazy, goin’ goin’ gone

‘Cuz
I ain’t nuthin’ but a gorehound
I ain’t nuthin’ but a gorehound
All I ever do is go around
‘Cuz I ain’t nuthin’ but a gorehound

I ain’t nuthin’ but a gorehound
I ain’t nuthin’ but a gorehound

‘A trio of terror!’

Twice-Told Tales – also released as Twice Told Tales and Nights of Terror  is a 1963 American supernatural horror film directed by Sidney Salkow (The Last Man on Earth) from a screenplay by producer Robert E. Kent (Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome; The Werewolf; Diary of a Madman).

Image may be NSFW.

pdvd_022

The film is based on two of Nathaniel Hawthorne‘s stories, “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” (1837) and “Rappaccini’s Daughter” (1844), and the novel The House of the Seven Gables (1851), which had previously been adapted in 1940 also starring Price. Only “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” was actually published in Hawthorne’s Twice-Told Tales, which supplied the film’s title. The 1963 British United Artists release was cut by BBFC censors for its 1967 release.

Reviews:

Twice-Told Tales is dull and ponderous. The stories in themselves, even the mangled adaptation that they are, could have worked well with a different director. Alas, the film is hamstrung with the dreadfully pedestrian Sidney Salkow who also directed Price in The Last Man on Earth (1964), another thoroughly dull adaptation of a fine horror story. Salkow’s sedentary direction and Technicolor colour wrings all the atmosphere out of the stories.” Moria

“Even with only two out of three being particularly good, Twice Told Tales is still one of my Halloween favourites. Price is in classic form, the addition of Sebastian Cabot is wonderful, the atmosphere of those two pieces is excellent, and the type of film inaugurated by Corman, Matheson, and Price is so much in its stride that it has taken on ghoulish life of its own.” Cory Gross, Voyages Extraordinaires

“None of the stories featured in Twice-Told Tales are particularly well-paced. This isn’t terribly annoying through the beginning segments of the picture, because the stories themselves keep our interest. However, as the film progresses, we become more restless. By the final segment we’re at the verge of boredom, and then that final tale pushes us over the brink.” Exclamation Mark

“In a year that saw Mario Bava create Black Sabbath and Herschell Gordon Lewis shoot Blood Feast, this Sidney Salkow directed portmanteau sits rather uncomfortably amongst such bold and vibrant work. With its absorbing stories, though, coupled with immaculate stage design and costumes, it does have a Gothic charm about it that’s impossible to dislike.” Zombie Hamster

“Director Sidney Salkow’s pacing is slow, but rich in detail in Kent’s script and good ensemble acting make the film a stylish one.” John Stanley, Creature Features

“All the familiar thrills are here in this marathon shocker, but the interests are varied and the effects quite often startling. The more avid seeker after the gruesome class of fare should be amply awarded.” Kine Weekly, 1967

“Triple-layered ‘spine-chiller’, based on the stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne; flatly directed and scripted, but spiritedly acted and climatically thrilling.” MH, The Daily Cinema, 1967

“Price’s performance in the third tale is even an improvement on his The House of the Seven Gables (1940). However, production values – miniature work and makeup – leave something to be desired in places.” Phil Hardy (editor), The Aurum Encyclopedia of Film: Horror

Reviews:

“The accelerating action becomes something of a horror orgy as the woods cough up a frightening array of creatures, and threats to the family come from all sides, including within. But audiences are unlikely to mind the overload given that the stakes remain high and the tension never flags in a film that delivers almost non-stop scares through most of its second half.” David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

“At the film’s best, it’s a pale imitation of Straw DogsThe Evil Dead, or The Descent; at its worst, it’s a point-and-awe celebration of mundanity. And that’s a shame because not only is the film shot to perfection, thanks to cinematographer Martijn van Broekhuizen, but it’s also capitalizing on an intriguing blend of genres that sparingly co-exist today.” Michael Roffman, Consequence of Sound

thehallowmoviepicture3

” … a feature-length excuse for promising director Hardy … The production embraces a thrilling mix of practical effects, animatronics, puppetry and prosthetics along with subtle CG enhancements to create a vivid collection of nightmarish fiends (dubbed fairies, banshees and baby snatchers by the locals).” Geoff Berkshire, Variety

The Hallow is relentless when the creatures come after Adam, his wife and his baby. They just keep coming and break through every barricade, poke through every keyhole. Big loud jump scares are backed up by first rate creature design and staging of the attacks.” Bloody Disgusting

The Hallow bravely puts its monsters front and centre, but does an effective job of building up to their appearance to a degree sufficient enough for us to accept them without unintentional laughter. The old-school effects bring these fanged fairy folk to life in a way CG simply can’t.” Eric Hills, The Movie Waffler

Reviews:

” … a deliciously dark satire that feels fresh and original in spite of the fact that it’s based on a book that was published 40 years ago. Ben Wheatley’s most visually arresting film, it’s fuelled by a superb soundtrack and fine performances. But it’s also a film that feels like it doesn’t have an ending, the journey startling but leading to a destination that ultimately disappoints.” Chris Tilly, IGN

“What began as a self-contained allegory on open class warfare becomes a showcase for stylistic anarchy, wherein the ensuing orgy of sex and violence serves to justify a near-total breakdown of cinematic form. Those with an appetite for aberrant creative visions could make “High-Rise” a hot cult property, though this unruly black comedy doesn’t work on any of the levels mainstream audiences expect.” Peter Debruge, Variety

“In some ways this is a creative adventure. It shows Wheatley for the first time stretching his talent to fit a film with stars and expectation. It’s not a disaster, but the faults stack up. It took nearly 40 years for High Rise to make it to big screen. After all that time, this is a bit of a dog’s dinner.” Henry Barnes, The Guardian

” … darkly comic, High-Rise is almost flawless. The sets are stunning, the music is perfect and Wheatley has Ballard’s off-the-wall humour down to a T. But High-Rise is a film that asks a lot of its audience, glossing over some of the more crucial events (namely the breakdown itself) through montages and leaving the watcher to piece it together. The screen time is stretched too thin over the ensemble cast, leaving gaps in their stories here and there.” Natasha Furlong, The Upcoming

Reviews:

The Mummy’s Ghost isn’t up to the standard of its predecessor: there’s not enough mummy action, and a bit too much aimless running around; not good, in a film barely sixty minutes long. The screenplay is also guilty of constantly tweaking what the previous two films taught us were “the rules” of this franchise.” And You Call Yourself a Scientist

The Mummy’s Ghost disarms any attempt at such an enterprise with a kind of confrontational candor. “Yeah, I’m stupid,” it says, “You got a problem with that?!” Its familiarity does breed just a wee bit of contempt, but it also has its moments of lowbrow fun. And hey, at 61 minutes, what do you really have to lose?” 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting

The-Mummy's-Ghost

The mummy has always been the least impressive of movie monsters and he is doing nothing to enhance his reputation in his latest incarnation in The Mummy’s Ghost. He is just repulsive without being picturesque or even particularly frightening.” The New York World-Telegram, 1944

The Mummy’s Ghost is easily the director’s best horror film, possibly his best film, period. Le Borg took credit for the unusual downbeat finale, although he admitted without any prompting that he was inspired by the climax of Frank Capra’s 1937 romantic-fantasy classic Lost Horizon.” Universal Horrors: The Studio’s Classic Films, 1931-1946

“This was one of the better entries in Universal’s so-so ‘Kharis’ series of the ’40s, although viewers who catch it without benefit of having seen it’s predecessors … would have to be forgiven for finding it nearly incomprehensible.” Tom Weaver, John Carradine: The Films

Bone-Tomahawk-1

Plot:

After a man’s wife is kidnapped four men (Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox, Richard Jenkins) go to save her and find that many horrors await them…

Review:

Seasoned fans of westerns on one hand and horror films on the other will barely need to scratch the surface of novelist/musician S. Craig Zahler’s debut to realise the debt it bears – or the tribute it pays – to classics of each genre. The obvious touchstones are The Searchers and The Hills Have Eyes, via Cannibal Holocaust, but where novelty is lacking, there is verve in the playing and zest in the writing. There are also longueurs and extraneous exchanges – signs, perhaps, of a first-time writer-director given too much leverage.

The opening – the desecration of sacred ground – generates a sense of déjà vu that never dispels. Tribesmen kidnap one of the perpetrators from the jail in Bright Hope, along with the town’s deputy and Samantha O’Dwyer (Lili Simmons). Samantha’s husband, Arthur (Patrick Wilson), a cowboy nursing a broken leg, insists on joining the scratch posse formed by hirsute sheriff Hunt (Kurt Russell), his garrulous ‘back-up’ deputy, Chicory (Richard Jenkins), and the egotistical Brooder (Matthew Fox), an Indian-hater and Samantha’s one-time suitor.

The group dynamic – thorny, occasionally fractious – is well maintained by the ensemble cast, nourished by Zahler’s facility for Tarantino-esque circumlocution. The arduous trek – much of it on foot – takes up the bulk of the two-hour-plus running time, and is played at Arthur’s hobbling pace. The interplay of old-stagers Jenkins and Russell flows effortlessly and naturally, whereas the friction between the younger men feels rather forced.

Bone-Tomahawk-2

Brooder’s contempt for Indians – stemming from the deaths of loved ones – invites scrutiny of manifest destiny, but Zahler swerves the issue. Presenting the ‘Indians’ as faceless, flesh-eating savages obviates sympathetic noises about indigenous rights; the only ‘genuine’ Native American – a distinction the character himself is quick to make – pointedly distances his people from the cave-dwelling, clay-smeared ‘troglodytes’ with which the rescuers must tangle.

The writer-director’s observational skills are deployed more fruitfully in areas of concern to traditional westerns – campfire camaraderie; rugged, reverentially photographed landscape. Equally traditional is the relegation of the female lead from strong-willed wife to helpless rescue object. For that matter, Sean Young is wasted in a one-scene cameo. Even then, her face is partly concealed beneath a vast hat brim. It is a shame that when the action shifts to the cannibals’ cave, the raw feel of the environment gives way to a patently bogus and implausibly clean-looking set. Primitive flesh-eaters can also be fastidious housekeepers, it seems.

BONE-TOMAHAWK-One-Sheet

It is not merely bland production design that strains credulity in the latter stages. Quite how Arthur’s mangled leg manages to look fresher than it had during the film’s gruelling midsection is either a medical marvel or a testament to the restorative powers of tincture of opium, which he sips after his many tumbles on the trail. But such matters only become a concern in hindsight, as Zahler belatedly remembers his horror brief with some ferocious scenes of carnage, including a torso-ripping money shot that matches anything in the canon of Italian cannibal atrocities.

Reviews:

The Forest is definitely lower tier trash, even by the often times very low standards of the slasher and it really doesn’t have a whole lot going for it aside from a few moments of unintentional humor.” Ian Jane, DVD Talk

“Jones’ entry is not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination and offers zilch in terms of suspense, scares or tension … Nothing can be taken away from an admittedly very unique story, a soundtrack that is totally loco and a knife clenching cannibal in a baseball cap.” A Slash Above…

Reviews:

976-EVIL II is more entertaining than its predecessor. Neither are particularly great films and this one is rife with flaws in logic, but infamous director Jim Wynorski takes the reigns from Englund and delivers a film that just doesn’t give a damn to be anything but barely competent whenever there’s downtime between its death sequences.” Oh, the Horror!

“A lot of people have this misguided notion that the 1980s ended when the calendar flipped over to 1990. However, as 976-EVIL 2 constantly points out, the spirit of the 1980s burned bright well into the ’90s. The idea that the cultural temperament of a particular era changes overnight is ridiculous.” House of Self Indulgence
