CatchMeKillMe Productions

I am again working for Ian Messenger of CatchMeKillMe Productions. You may see tweets from CatchMeKillMe that I post and I will add updates as well as films on my blog. If anyone wants assistance from me you are more than welcome to ask. If I have enough notice I can even work in other states.
I do believe CatchMeKillMe Productions is getting better and better and has been getting notoriety from some big names in horror. We are also always looking for ideas, actors etc so let me know if you are interested. This Friday filming starts for the Intruder. This is a true to life short film that could happen to anyone. In November another creepy contribution to horror will come out that could make you "weep." Thanks for reading and happy haunting. 

Hesher-2010

I was talked into watching this film by a friend because the lead character, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, reminded her of someone we went to high school with. She wanted to see if I would come up with the same guy. I did!!!! Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! I believe we all have gone to high school with someone like Hesher. Director-Spencer Susser
Most of the reviews say Hesher hated the world and everything in it. I do not believe that. I think he was just a misplaced guy who wanted a family, girlfriend and to be accepted. He just had a strange way of showing it however, but a lot of people are like that. I believe he did not know any other way to show his feelings. He learned a lot from the people he was with and I could see a Hesher II made.
I did not like the film myself but the acting was good. The kid, played by Devon Brochu I felt acted well. He was able to make the audience feel his emotions. His character was just as messed up as Hesher. The rest of the crew were mainly background material for these two characters. Natalie Portman and Rainn Wilson were also in the film.
I think the reason I disliked it was because it was honestly your run of the mill everyday life that small town people go through. There was nothing spectacular about the film. Unless you were rich, you knew someone like that or were that person. I found myself saying almost every other scene, wow that was my town or I knew someone with the same issue or that is me. Some people like to know there are similarities to their lives. I don't want to see it. I left that shit behind me and really don't want to go back.Watch it and see what you think. I would be happy to hear others opinions on this film.
I tried to upload a picture but apparently my brain injury has turned me developmentally disabled. :/ I apologize.

Remakes

There are too many remakes of good films. Please make a remake of a shitty film and make it good. I myself have a few ideas and I think they are good. I just don't have a director. I can't direct or use a camera worth shit.
It is not just horror movies but all films. Take for instance Footloose. Yet again another awesome 80's film that may end up tanking. Just my two cents. As usual I am not going to ramble. Just get to the point and be done with it.

Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark

It appears the  horror genre is morphing again. The age old ghost stories we were told as a kid by the camp fires are coming back but with creepier unwelcome guests. These are the kind of films that would keep us up at night and we would tell our younger sibling to torture them.
I like these kind of films because the mind is the scariest place to be. Of course Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark did not utilize that tactic. Instead, the creatures were seen too many times. I think the film would have been good if the creatures would have been unseen until close to the end.
While I feel the film is a bit cheesy for adults, I would be creeped out if I were a kid under the age of thirteen. If you want to ensure you scare the shit out of your little brother or sister this is the film to take them to. I would have liked to hear more about the history of Mr. Blackwood instead they focused all on the scaring of the little girl which is ok for a kid horror film.
The film has a lot of plot holes, but overall it is ok to see one time. I would wait for the DVD however.
The Director is Troy Nixey with Katie Holmes and Guy Pearce as the adult main characters. Bailee Madison is the young girl (Sally) who was sent to live with her father, unbeknownst to her. Katie Holmes (Kim) is the girlfriend who is trying to create a relationship with Sally. Sally has a lot of psychological issues which I think would have been good to play off of to mess with the audiences minds. Instead nothing was left to the imagination as I stated earlier.
These creatures started acting up when Sally comes to live with her father. Apparently they want children so they try to befriend Sally so they can pull her into the depths of hell. The movie is basically about Sally trying to get someone to believe her about the creatures. Unfortunately there were bodies that could be used as proof but never were. That was just one of many issues with the film. If you want to sit back and just not think for a couple of hours this is not a bad film but I would not rank it over a two. It had potential. I did not know this is a remake of the 1970's made for TV horror trilogy by Dan Curtis. Of course there are differences but the concept was the same. A friend Aaron Overstreet, schooled me on that. I had never even heard of the trilogy. I am going to see if I can find it. I am sure it is better than this version.

Fright Night 2011

Here we go again folks. Another remake. My opinion on these remakes is that they production companies are getting too Conservative and do not want to put out money for something new and innovative for fear they won't make the money back. My two cents. For instance, I saw a script I liked that was not picked up by any production company and I thought it was a good idea.
With that said, Fright Night was good, not great. The humor was still there and the idea was still the same. The film was different enough from the original that you might still like it even though you enjoyed the cheesy 1980's original.
Jerry (Colin Ferrel)  is hot in this film but there is not an air of sexiness. He is pure evil. No intention of anything other then running the world with his minions. Jane Brewster (Toni Collette) is completely involved in this film and Peter Vincent ( David Tennant) I feel stole the show. This film did not have one specific lead character like the first one did. It was a team affair this time around. Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) was not the geek of the first film. In my opinion, this film took areas from the original that were not elaborated on and chose those to build a script on. You are welcome to disagree, I love discussing these things.

I liked the film because it was so different than the first and it was rated R so it felt more real to me. I did not love the film however. I would wait for the DVD and rent it. In Joe Bob Briggs world I would give it 2 stars.

Hatchet II

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Director Adam Greene does it again. Hatchet II does not disappoint. Starts off where Hatchet I leaves off and follows the storyline well. For this film not to have been released but a couple days in the US is horse shit. This is what we want! blood and guts literally. Yes one part of the film does include a man's intestines being pulled from him and strangled until his head pops off. This film had great special effects! That is in thanks to Keven Carter, Alex Hill, Robert Pendergraft, Visual Effect by Micah Gallo and Scott Purdy, and Makeup by Adrienne Lynn, Arlene Martinez, Robert Pendergraft, Lancel Reyes, Adrian Romo, Shyann Swisher, Rileah Vanderbilt. Ya'll know I am makeup and Special effects so I have to shout out to them. Awesome job all.
Mary Beth (Danielle Harris) is pissed that her family has been slaughtered and and wants revenge. She gets it.
She seeks assistance from Reverend Zombie,  Candy Man star  Tony Todd and a band of Louisiana outcasts. They go back to the site of the original and find all new ways for Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder) to slaughter everyone. Hatchet II has more unique kills. My favs were the pussy hatchet, probably the only way Victor can get laid, the, my what big chainsaw you have kill, the bootleg kill- head cheese anyone, and Mary Beth's revenge. You will know what I mean when you see the film.
Victor reminds me of Toxie on steroids and a bit more evil hahahaha. Speaking of Toxie, Lloyd Kaufman makes a cameo in this film. I did not know he was in it but recognized him when I saw him.

I would recommend this film to every horror fanatic out there. This is one film that will become a classic. Best part is that you don't have to see the first to understand the second film.  

Nightmare City-1980

Not really a Spoiler;

Nightmare City is a little Italian film by Umberto Lenzi who happens to be one of Joe Bob Briggs' fav directors. It is not a well known film. I would have disliked it if not for the fact that I would slow the scenes down and could see when a dummy was used. That made me laugh.
The movie is about zombie vampires who were made from a mistake at a lab. They are in an airplane that lands in a city and they end up taking over. These vampire zombies are not the usual breed, probably because they have both vampire and zombie in them. They are fairly intelligent. Of course you wouldn't know that from the look of them. The zombie vampires look like they have shit all over their faces. That in itself is enough to see the film. If your looking to be scared, forget it. If your looking for a good laugh then this is the film for you.
The best scene is when the two leading actors- Laura Trotter (Dr. Anna Miller) and Hugo Stiglitz (Dean Miller) are running from the zombie vampires and Anna starts freaking out. Dean slaps her (she moves her head the opposite way lol) and then they kiss passionately. I actually had tears running down my face I laughed so hard.
