Human Centipede II

SPOILER


Now that the Human Centipede II has made it's rounds a bit. I am bringing it back for round two. This film made me feel a bit nauseated. I mean this in a good way. I tried not to listen to all the talk about it so that I could come to my own conclusions. I was wondering how Director Tom Six was going to make the transition into the second one. 
I did not get the abruptness of the fact that the first one was a film but that was short lived as I sat in shock and awe during the rest of the film. Being in the medical field and seeing how Martin (Laurence Harvey) stapled the people together I did not think his idea would work but Six had that figured out too. He made them all take laxatives. I liked the fact that Six allowed us to really see the rawness of how Martin made the centipede. It really made me hate that guy yet six made it understood why Martin was the way he was and was able to make it flow.  I have to give Laurence Harvey credit he has guts. This is the kind of film that could break his career because of how wrong his character was. He was quite brilliant. He never had to talk during the whole film and yet I was captivated. 
The film is based on the fact that Martin watched the first Human Centipede and was obsessed by it. He has nothing else, his mother is a fucked up mess and blames him for his father sexually molesting him and sending him to prison. There is nothing to like about him so he fantasizes about creating the human centipede with 12 people and having the star of the film (Ashlynn Yennie) included. He was able to arrange to get her through her agent so he had some smarts. I could go into the psychology of this guy but that would take all day. Anywhoo, it ends with Martin's pet centipede up his ass. I hear number three is in the works. Let's just keep it at two so that you can go down in history as one of the greatest shocking movies I have seen.

Silent Hill

On a lighter note, Silent Hill Revelation 3D directed by Michael J Bassett will be released later this year. Malcolm McDowell, Kit Harington, Carrie-Anne Moss and Sean Bean are some of the characters in the fim. I hope this film has some of the weird creatures in it like the first. I liked them they were creepy.
Did you all know Centralia Pennsylvania is the actual town in the U.S where a fire is still to this day burning under the ground? After investigating the fire it appears the volunteer fire department set the landfill on fire like they did in years past. This time there was an opening in the pit that allowed the fire to enter the labyrinth of abandoned coal mines underneath Centralia. there is more to the story but I will let you all do your own research.
Have a good one!

Silent House

Spoiler alert.................................................................................................................
As you all know I like to go to horror films alone. This was no exception. As I sat in the theatre I saw two women also alone in the theatre. They appeared to both be in theier 60's. I thought at first maybe I was in the wrong theatre or that the film was a romantic comedy. It was a film trying to be a psychological thriller.
Elizabeth Olsen, the Olsen twins sister was in this film. I give her props for trying as she was the one who was fucked in the head because of being molested by her dad as a kid.
Within the first 5 minutes of the film you already know Sara (Elizabeth Olsen) has a personality disorder and is psychotic. Of course it is rightly so but the film really had no story. The writers did not do a great job (Gustavo Hernandez and Laura Lau). The whole film was a waste of money for me and for the producers etc....... I can't imagine this film makes much money. I would rather watch a Hippo give birth.

KRAZED

I am not sure if you all remember a review I did on a band called KRAZED from Arizona. The singer/musician Colton Koesser's father, Daniel Koesser was a singer/musician in the 80's-90's for a couple of bands in the area who toured the US.  He is currently their bassist. I have been working with KRAZED and have to say, they are very good and getting better which each show. The band is made up of Emilio Couchee on lead guitar and believe me, he can scream on that thing. WOW! He does not need any further stage presence. When you hear him play you never want him to stop. Next up Sean Selover on Guitar Vocals. His stage presence alone makes you want to watch what he will do next. As I said Daniel Koesser is the bassist. He has spent many years in the spotlight and knows the ropes. Jacob Higginbottom is the drummer. He has mad skills on the drums and of course keeps the band in check. Last is, as I stated, Colton Koesser. Colton has his fathers skills. He can sing and play the guitar at the same time yet puts it down to play the crowd. He even picked two people out of the crowd to come on stage with them.
This band is a must see. I am working in tandem with their Manager Nick Iannettone to get more gigs for them. They do covers including Hot For Teacher by Van Halen. They rip that song. They even have a girl dressed up as a teacher for more stage presence. They are a young band, still in high school. They don't play like they are.  If you want their contact info just let me know. The band also has their own music that they wrote on their own. Yes that is good as well. This band is on a path to stardom. Hope you can come see them play, or hire them for your own party.
Tonight 3-6-2012 they played a carnival and did a great job. They even had girls screaming in the audience. Go on face book, find KRAZED and press the like button. They are even cool enough to talk to their fans on their site. There will be more to come on this band in the near future.

The Devil Inside

SPOILER - - I buy my ticket and hear next to me, “can I see you’re ID?" I watch as three people in a row buy tickets to The Devil Inside and are carded because they look under 25 years of age. I did not buy my own ticket but I will keep the delusion that I also would have been carded. Why were people getting carded so much for this film? Because of the nature of the film I was told. I follow the line inside and get a diet coke and popcorn and walk with my friends to the outside of the theatre where I see two staff members asking for tickets. I give my ticket to the female staff and ask why they are checking. She stated because the film is very scary. I though to myself, they are treating this like 1973 when The Exorcist was released in the theatres. I thought maybe the hype of how horrible this film is would be wrong. I sit in my seat and go through the 20 drill of commercials and trailers. The film starts. The star of the film is Fernanda Andrade who plays Isabella Rossi the daughter of a woman; Maria Rossi played by Suzan Crowly, who killed three people in 1989. The film revolves around Isabella. This is where the problem comes in for me. I had a very hard time watching her as she did not pronounce her words very well. I know this is minor for some, but really bothers me when I watch a film. It was so bad I thought she had speech impairment but she did not. Anyway, the film was done as a documentary which was fine as this film was suppose to look like an investigation and quest for Isabella to find out the truth about her mother. Was she in fact possessed or mentally ill? Isabella along with two priests and her camera man go through spiritual warfare until their demise at the end of the film. But is it their demise or will the demons that escaped Maria keep them alive? Remember, one of the main pushes throughout the film was that people could do and survive a lot when possessed so the ending makes you think. I have seen a lot of dumb films in my day. I did not think this film was bad minus Isabella's inability to talk correctly. There were even areas that made me laugh. I do not understand however, why the security was so intense as the film was not scary. If the hype had not made it appear like The Exorcist, I think the film would have done ok. I didn't hate the film and did not feel it was the greatest ever, it was mediocre. There were cutting issues but that is what you get with trying to make the film look like a documentary. There were errors but overall it passed.

CatchMeKillMe's new feature full length film wants you, the fans to help

Over a year ago I clicked on a link that took me to a short on You Tube called, "TheHog." I really liked it and thought it reminded me of a Rob Zombie film. It also reminded me of the late 70's early 80's slasher films. That is how I started to work with CatchMeKillMe Productions. Since then they have made quite a few short films. Each film gets creepier and more disturbing as they go. Ian Messenger, The Director and founder of CatchMeKillMe Productions has just the right amount of creativeness and psychosis to make people feel uncomfortable watching his films. This is what Horror is about. He and his crew now want you, the fans to help in creating his new full length feature, "The Hog." Why stick with a short when this film obviously screams to be made into a full length film. Just click on the link and become a part of Indie Film History. If you have any questions or comments, one of the CatchMeKillMe people will answer. You may even get an answer from Ian himself. They are always asking for feedback and ideas. This is a great way to spread your creative juices and help make the film. Remember, money makes the film. You can also make a donation that will seal your fate (muhahaha) in cement as part of the team. Thank you all. Happy killings, Wiccanz
