Recently watched Hatchet II, I enjoyed it, though I definitely liked the first one better. My main complaint was Tamara Feldman didn't reprise her role...I like Danielle Harris, but I didn't like her in this role...Feldman was good at being both tough and vulnerable, Harris just seemed to blubber through the whole thing. I liked the small reference Adam Green made to his other film Frozen, and Lloyd Kaufman's non-speaking cameo. 
I just finished watching Hatchet I and II, and all I can say is...WOW! I LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the ending! It was PERFECT! It would be the sort of ending any horror fan would love to see! I'm not usually a fan of horror films that capitalizes in gore, but I truly enjoyed watching this one and it made me laugh numerous times at the absurdity of it. The exaggerations worked really well to the film's benefit. Never have I enjoyed a slasher flick so much and would highly recommend these two films to anyone who loves the genre. |

That's why it's so ludicrous how the film was treated my the MPAA and AMC theaters...the gore is so over the top it's cartoonish, yet that's not how it was viewed by the ratings board, which is part of why the MPAA is a big joke. I can't remember the director or the movie, but they sent their movie in to the MPAA to be rated, the MPAA sent back all the things that needed to be cut, the director sent back the movie untouched and they gave the film a rating. Another one talked about how he purposely puts in scenes he knows will get cut, so when he sends it in they focus on those scenes, he cuts them out and releases the movie the way he wanted it. The documentary This Movie Is Not Yet Rated also shows how big of a joke the MPAA is. |

Actually, it was only given that sort of rating in the US. Other countries did not deem it deserving of such a vicious censorship which further enraged Green. |

Canada is the country that really set the whole thing off, they pulled the movie out of the theaters within 72 hours. |

I think it was shown during the weekend and they stopped showing it by Monday. Not sure about the accuracy of the details though. |

Canada pulled first, then the US...AMC theaters I think saw what Canada did and followed. Adam Green goes into full detail about is on the DVD commentary. They even gave him a story that it was because it was performing poorly. |

When you think about it, it actually is funny the way MPAA rates it because some action movies have the same sort of gory violence and they don't get as much censorship. |

It's a stigma the horror genre has, you can put the same kind of violence in a non-horror film and it will likely get passed by the boards. |

Just finished watching:
The Granny (1995) (IMDb)Granny's family wants her dead so they can collect her insurance. While she is on her death bed, she drinks an eternal life potion and returns to the land of the living. She is on a mission to wreak havoc over her greedy relatives. Stella Stevens is not only the Granny of the title, but the reigning Granny of B-grade direct-to-video flicks. She's terrific chewing the scenery as Anastasia Gargoli, mother to some rather objectionable jerks who (along with their children) are trying to kill her for her inheritance. The only person kind to Granny is her bastard niece Kelly (well played by soft-core queen Shannon Whirry). Before dying, a magical elixir that promises eternal life is ingested, and ends up backfiring. Since Kelly is screwed out of an inheritance, Granny returns as a cannibalistic zombie to settle the score. THE GRANNY is thankfully played out in tongue-in-cheek fashion, so we get a lot of black comedy (such as gags involving incest, decapitation, castration, grave robbing and more). Gore FX are effective and creative. The performances are campy and fun. |

Speaking of mid-90's horror comedies with cheesy gore-
Evil Ed (not to be confused with the character Evil Ed from Fright Night) IMdB-Edward is a friendly, harmless film cutter on the culture department. After a suicide accident, he is put on the mission to cut the "Loose limbs"-series. The blood, gore and violence makes him slowly go insane. Edward slowly turns into Ed. Evil Ed... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YwBLaPwpPk

Just finished watching:
Vanishing on 7th Street (IMDb)When a massive power outage plunges the city of Detroit into total darkness, a disparate group of individuals find themselves alone. The entire city's population has vanished into thin air, leaving behind heaps of empty clothing, abandoned cars and lengthening shadows. Soon the daylight begins to disappear completely, and as the survivors gather in an abandoned tavern, they realize the darkness is out to get them, and only their rapidly diminishing light sources can keep them safe. When I first read the synopsis on this film, I thought it was very interesting and I couldn't wait on how they would make the story unravel. Unfortunately, upon watching it I didn't find any unfolding at all, but a continuous series of events that came from nowhere and went the same destination. It's also not the horror movie that the posters would make you think. There were instances of eeriness, especially in the beginning, but not scary. Though I do give this film a thumbs up for the darkness and the music that created an atmosphere of dread and tension. What I find unsatisfactory was that no explanation was ever given in the beginning and the vanishing remains inexplicable up to the end. I'm all for open endings where the audience fill in the blanks, but making the audience struggle to make sense of events every step of the way is a bit too much. In this movie, we do not know nor understand, nor even get a sense of why or how any of these events happened. It was like a series of "huh?" moments, that all led up to one big "HUH?" in the end. |

Stephen King Tells a Tale of 'The Walking Dead'
How to build on the success of "The Walking Dead"? How about adding another legend to the party. IGN reports in from the C2E2 show in Chicago where actress Laurie Holden, who plays "Andrea" on the series, revealed that the great Stephen King may pen an episode in the forthcoming second season! They also added that Frank Darabont will get back behind the camera for at least one episode. Premiering this fall, the second season will be a full 13 episodes. http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/23869 |
