With Kount Kreepy on vacation at some nice island somewhere I guess it's up to me to keep with hearth fire burning on this here blog.
Hansel and Gretel With Hunters is brought to us from the same guy who did Dead Snow ,Thomas Wirkola, (and upcoming Dead Snow:War of the Dead) as the writer and director.
This movie kicks ass, has great gore and effects, some good laughs and generally rocks!
The film starts off with the Hansel (Jeremy Renner)and Gretel (Gemma Arterton)
we all know from fairy tales but gets a bit Tarantino after that. Fast
forward 15 years later with Hansel and Gretal hunting down witches until
they get hired by a town to find out what's happened to the town's
children that have gone missing and eventually unravel a plot involving a
Grand Evil Witch (Famke Jennsen )and her coven seeking..... see the movie I won't spoil it.
There's quite a big nod to the "Steampunk" genre here as well through some really cool gadgets and gizmo's in the witch hunters arsenal and it works with the atmosphere of the movie. There is also a sequel in the works and I for one am looking forward to it! Rotten Tomatoes hated it so fuck them. Chances are if you read this blog on a regular basis then you know this will be a fun movie. If your looking for deep meanings and superb acting and some lah dee dah crap this aint your movie. If your looking for some action/adventure and kicking some supernatural ass, this will satisfy! -Evil von Scarry
One of those "underground" films (directed by Paul Bunnel) that looked like an Ed Wood homage and turned out to
be just as horrible. That being said if your a David Lynch fan and like that sort of over the top method style acting (like Brando in the Wild One or Liz Taylor back in the 50's) then this film might be for you. I for one HATE musicals (unless you put TOMMY or PINK FLOYD's THE WALL in that genre) so it was a major stretch for me to sit through the whole film. I did it cuz Kount Kreepy had me watch it. So figured better watch the whole damned thing before I attempt a review.
However my love of the weird and the 1950's cheesy sci-fi movies kept me going through what was a sci-fi comedy musical and was just quirky enough to stand on it's own. I'm pretty sure it will eventually become a cult classic, probably once it has some showings in Japan and then comes back to North America again. Looking into the film it cost about 2 Million to make and made about 117 bucks in ticket sales, LMAO.It was also named the worst film of 2012. Hell I'd see it on that accreditation alone!
The gist is a gang of bad ass rebel greaser types on a planet that is all about law and order finally get
exiled to what I'm guessing is the late 1950's early 60's earth. Tie in a dead rock n roller that gets resurrected using alien technology and some musical numbers with plenty of nods to various film and cult genres. Some of the rockabilly/psycho-billy crowd will also get a kick from the period pieces in the film.
quote-"Shot on black-and-white Kodak film
stock, Paul Bunnel’s 1950s throwback dials up the weirdness of the
already surreal genre of sci-fi B movies with showstopping musical
numbers, over-the-top dialogue, and hilariously hokey special effects.
Banished to Earth for intergalactic
juvenile delinquency, Johnny X and his gang of Ghastly Ones set off in
search of a piece of alien technology that could change the fate of the
universe forever—the so-called “resurrection suit.” Soon, the
extraterrestrial nogoodniks are embroiled in a wacky scheme involving a
femme fatale named Bliss, a shifty concert promoter with schemes of his
own, and a recently deceased musician who won’t let a little
decomposition stop him from rocking." -end quote
If your a film buff or just a lover of cheesy films then it'll be worth your while to see this film. I can't really say anything bad about it but it's not on my list of fav's either. Then again I hated Rocky Horror Picture Show but absolutely loved Blue Velvet. This film has a similar feel of elements of both those films but does stand on it's own. It was also the last film appearance of Kevin McCarthy before his passing ( starred in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" -1956).
I've left some links below to various media linked with the film. -Evil von Scarry facebook website
Strand Releasing (selling DVD's)
New comedy horror starring Devon Bostick (Diary of a wimpy kid), and Christopher Lloyd (Back to the future). A bunch of college kids accidentally unleash an evil curse that causes people to kill themselves and turn into Zombie Demons, aka ZEMONS! Looks good!
I don't know about you my creepy readers, but I am stoked for this flesh eating-fest!!!!
“The zombie world has yet to witness one last stand – Cuba. An outbreak hits the island on the anniversary of the revolution, so Juan and his friends set out to conquer the undead who, according to government reports, are unruly Americans continuing their quest of undermining the regime.”
Director:
Alejandro Brugués was born in Buenos Aires. He graduated from Cuba’s International Film and Television School of San Antonio de los Baños. His films include Personal Belongings (07) and Juanof the Dead (11).
So I've just watched the pilot for MTVs new comedy-horror series "Death Valley", and i must admit I like it!! A pleasant change from MTVs usual drivel and mindless programming. Very funny from beginning to end, and should satisfy the most discerning horror fan. I recommend it highly...that being said, my only complaint is the length of each episode( approx 25min)...and only airs once a week...
p.s. some of you out there figure this show might be a rip off of the popular webisode "Monstercops".. let you decide:
How things sometimes get done in the corporate world – all the lies, euphemisms and backstabbing in full display. A hilarious, exaggerated but still truthful take on office politics.
