Fantastic Fest Day 7

Fantastic Fest Day 7
I fell asleep during first movie K-20. Saw the wrong movie when I picked The Bare Breasted Countess over Private Eye. Rewatched the awesome Doghouse and ended the night with the fucked up The Human Centipede. 
K-20: The Fiend with 20 Faces
I fell asleep about 20 minutes in so I won't give it a score rating. From what I saw thought it was a kiddy action adventure movie that I didnt dig at all. Unfortunately I woke up for the last 30 minutes and saw the predictable ending. Nothing left to say. It was well done but cheesy.
The Bare Breasted Countess
I picked this movie instead of watching Private Eye which was picked by several people as the best movie of the festival. I only picked this because Jess Franco was there in attendance and the movie is not available on dvd. To be honest the movie basically is a soft core porn movie. There is very little dialogue and a paper thin plot. There was more bush in this movie than at George W's family reuninon. The main vampire chick Lina Romay (and now Jess Franco's wife) was fucking smoking hot in the movie. This was not a movie to be watching in a packed theater but better suited for the privacy of your own home with towel in reach. It was very artsy and well filmed but not really much more to it. Movie is about this vampire chick that seduces men and women, goes down on them and then eventually sucks the blood out of them while giving them oral. Thats all there is to it. While not really a great movie Im still glad I saw it and it was cool to see the Q and A session given by Frank and Lina at the end. She had a lot of classic funny lines. Final Rating: 5.5/10
Doghouse
Rewatched this movie and loved it even more the second time. Awesome horror comedy.
The Human Centipede
Holy shit what a fucked up movie. I had pretty high expectations for it since it won the award there for the best horror movie. While it was nowhere that good I still enjoyed the whacky premise. The movie is about this dude that captures people and sews them together in fucked up experiments. I dont want to give away the "money" scene of the movie but its pretty shocking when it happens. While watching the movie I thought there was a lot of unintentional laughs but after the Q and A session with the funny ass director Tom Six, Im not so sure anymore. The craziest Q and A session Ive ever been a part of. To say much more about it would be spoiling the movie. Not for everyone but if you are into fucked up horror then this may be up your alley. Also a terrific performance by Dieter Laser as the main doctor. Very good movie but just dont let the hype overwhelm you. Final Rating: 7.25/10
