Dance of the Dead (Review)

Dance of the Dead Dance of the Dead (2008)Directed by Gregg BishopYou know what we Americans do best? Make a frakin kick ass zombie film.Score another one for the US of A. USA! USA!Gregg Bishop's uber indie Dance of Dead rivals Shaun of the Dead's silliness, blends in some 80s Return of the Dead for the millienial age and clicks in some Buffy-logue to boot. It's amazing nobody ever thought to make Buffy but with zombies.It's a blender of geekiness...

Gutterballs (Review)

GutterballsGutterballs (2008)Directed by Ryan NicholsonAfter watching Return to Sleepaway Camp, I decided to continue the trend of 80s slasher remakes and watched Gutterballs. Straight out the Canadian horror school of horror, it's like watching a hot, voluptuous big breasted blonde scratch a blackboard with Kreuger gloves while being decapitated.Translation: We got awesome nudity/sex, tons of gore and splatter but really annoying, obnoxious characters...

Return to Sleepaway Camp (Review)

Return to Sleepaway Camp Return to Sleepaway Camp (2008)Directed by Robert HiltzikHow do you create a sequel to a 80s slasher movie that actually sucked but is only remembered because of the ending?You know the one. The one with the girl penis and the gratuitous green tint.You create a horror time warp slasher flick with cheese. That's the best way to describe Return to Sleepaway Camp.It's a 21 st century Sleepaway but done in a throwback 80s sorta...

Happy Holidays from the jaded viewer!

Well I've got a lot of movies to review over the holiday break. Some very obscure horror, some mainstream and a few in between.So stay tuned for that.If your an aspiring filmmaker, indie marketing team or STV horror production company (ahem) or whatever and have anything you want me to review that you'd think would be a nice fit on the jaded viewer (and want some free publicity) drop me a line.And keep those comments coming. We're all one big horror family aren't we? Not like a real family because today your probably being driven nuts with distant...

The Hajirai Machine Girl (Trailer)

It seems as an extra in the Tokyo Shock DVD of The Machine Girl (which you can read my review here) we get an uber lower budget sequel to Noburu Iguchi's now cult classic, viral trailer splatterfestWho would have thought you could make a sequel to that insanity?Hajirai (or Shyness) Machine Girl seems more outrageous than its original parent. Arterial decaps, machine gun ass and Yakuza with nails in his head.Makes me think of the STV Ichi the Killer...

Perkins 14 (Trailer)

Perkins 14 is an example of fan created horror. Not really a first, but a rare occurence in this day and age.The film was developed by Massify.com. Writers submitted story ideas, audition tapes were uploaded and the cast and winning story were chosen.So their tagline that a film invented, written, cast, voted for, chosen and created by YOU, isn't that farfetched.Now part of the After Dark Horrorfest 2009 lineup we'll see if something created by US...

the jaded viewer goes AWOL

Well you might be wondering WTF happened to the updates on the site. I had some personal stuff unexpectedly come up which took mega, major, uber priority.I'm back and with the holidays coming up, we might have a few gaps here and there.Think of this lapse like the end of the original Dawn of the Dead which you can see below. I'm like Peter, contemplating to go all suicidy but changing my mind at the last minute and going all heroic.I love the the GI Joe music as he kicks ass to Franince and the helicoptor.Imagine if they went with the original...

Death Bell (Trailer)

Battle Royale meets 90210. It seems Korea is dismissing this Ringu shit and going in a whole new direction of after school horror.And so, they give birth to Go-Sa aka Death Bell.Here be the plot:The film is set in a high school, where an elite group of twenty students—including rebelious heroine Kang Yi-na, her timid best friend Yoon Myong-hyo, and her would-be boyfriend Kang Hyeon—are taking a special class for their college entrance exam. After...

Sick Girl (Trailer)

I remember watching the PSA teaser and trailer for Sick Girl and never got around to posting it. But after rewatching that PSA trailer, it's still fuckin morbidly hilarious.The sick girl in question is Izzy, a psychopathic, anti-Juno uber fucked up girl who likes torturing some innocents in the family barn.I can't do the plot justice so here it is in italic standard form.Sick Girl is the story of Izzy, a girl that wants to protect her little brother,...

The Last House in the Woods (Review)

The Last House in the Woods The Last House in the Woods (2006)aka Il Bosco FuoriDirected by Gabriele AlbanesiWhy can't it be the first house in the woods? How about the second to last house?Ahhh yes, those exploitation crazy Italians love rebooting the old grindhouse slashers flicks of old like it was the 70s and 80s.Can somebody tell them its the 21 st century?My first impression was it had the feel of the late great Bruno Mattei's cheesy, Ed Wood-ish...

Dead Snow (Trailer)

I know I'm a little late on this one, but alas I've been hyping up Nazi zombies for some time here. Worst Case Scenario (a movie that seems like it will never be made) had an awesometastic trailer featuring underwater Nazi zombie ghouls.But Dead Snow, recently announced as part of the lineup for the Sundance Film Festival looks like it's going to be a a uber revolution of zombie horror.Nazis and zombies is a natural fit in the evil, fucked up sorta...

Eyeborgs (Trailer)

While your hoping for Danny Trejo to make Machete, where you CAN actually see him is in a new movie called Eyeborgs.I never thought they'd bring back the robot gadgets slasher flick back from its 80s grave, but anything is possible now.Here be the plot synopsis.After a terrorist attack on US soil, the government intensifies it's surveillance, installing a far reaching network of cameras called the ODIN (Optical Defense Intelligence Network) system....

Dard Divorce (Review)

Dard DivorceDard Divorce (2007)Directed by Olaf IttenbachBefore Uwe Boll made the words German + Director + Movie = an untouchable, horrible combination, there were a few awesome German directors that revolutionized the gore/splatter films of the 80s and 90s.The trio of Jorg Buttgereit, Andreas Schnaas and Olaf Ittenbach were the masters of German horror.Buttgereit is now irrelevant, Schnaas is still around having teamed with Troma for Nikos the...
