Movie Review Quick Hits

Revamped

Availability: out on dvd

You should know that any movie that has Kato Kaelin even in a minor role is probably going to be a piece of shit. This movie highly qualifies as that. Its not even one of those so bad its good (Sobig) movies. Its just plain terrible. It actually seemed like they were making it up and writing the script on the go. Its about this dude that wants to kill himself so he gets bit by a vampire that he sees on an infomercial, (rolls eyes) so he can wake up as an immortal. Little did he know that his cheating wife decided to just cremate him. Its 5 years later and the urn that his ashes were in fall into a pool of blood and he's resurrected. When he awakes there is a huge battle between the humans, pure vampires and the half breeds. The movie tries to be a comedy an action movie and is way too ambitious. Stay away at all costs.

Rating: 1.9 out of 10.

Pray For Morning

Availability: out on dvd

Another lackluster std horror movie. Its another one of those kids locked in a mansion/asylum/house/hotel (take your pick) and a supernatural force is killing the kids one by one movie. The direction and effects are decent both is still more of the been there done that vibe throughout. At least it does have always excellent Udo Kier as a baddie. Still cant recommend it.

No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker aka Reeker 2

Availability: out on dvd on 10/14/2008

I bet a lot of you are out there saying what the fuck is Reeker 1? The original Reeker was on the festival circuit for awhile before it was finally released on dvd. I thought it was a decent horror movie with a been there done that twist at the end of the movie. The Reeker himself is a cool creepy looking horror guy that has this gassy blurry look that surrounds him. In this std sequel its pretty much the same thing. A decent horror movie with an obvious twist at the end of the movie, which is the same exact twist as the original. If you remember the original's ending then you will already know how this one ended. If you havent seen the original, or the movie or trailer below sounds interesting then I suggest renting this one first cuz its a little better of the two. It has some cool gore shots and a few jump scares that work.
