Death To The Demoness Allegra Gellar!

eXistenZ unfortunately came out the same year as the Matrix.

That sucked.

So only a few people saw David Cronenberg's Alt virtual reality in all it's glory.
I got a chance to rewatch this recently on cable and it still holds up in awesomeness.

Mega hot Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law star in the flick. Leigh plays Allegra Gellar, a infamous game designer who beta tests her latest game.....eXistenZ.

eXistenZ is a virtua-world played on a console of gooey fleshy fun. Classic shit from the mind of Cronenberg.

Check out the trailer....and if you can....rent, torrent or buy this flick. It's mega-awesome-rific.

Must See Blaxploitation Trailers!

Everybody knows the classic blaxploitation films of the 70s. Shaft, Sweet Sweetback Badasssss song, Black Caesar, Coffy.

Two movies that you may have missed are The Thing With Two Heads and one of the most fucked up movies I've ever seen, Goodbye Uncle Tom.

The Thing With Two Heads is satirical comedy at its best. Goodbye Uncle Tom was molded from the Mondo Cane creators and sickly depicts slavery in America.

I wanted to add Watermelon Man and Bone but those trailers aren't online.

Below are the trailers for these 2 often overlooked blaxploitation movies.

All Night Long Trilogy (Japanese Horror) (Reviews)

Ooru Naito Rongu aka All Night Long Trilogy.

Three movies (or 5 if you want to keep count) Matsumara's All Night Long Series is all about the very real and disturbing problem of bullying in Japan.

Each of the movies deals with the problem in some way.

Here are my and Insano Steve's original reviews:

All Night Long

All Night Long (1992)

Directed by Katsuya Matsumura

Japan is all fucked up. In a good way. Released in theatres in Japan this one shocked the fuck out of people.

Out of the trilogy this one has actual plot.

Three geeky students (one who even has Urkel glasses)
witness a brutal killing (great FX) of a classmate and are all traumatized by the experience.

They hang out, try to meet some girls and one of the guys girlfriend's gets tortured and raped.

Booyah! It's revenge time.

All Night Long 2: Atrocity

All Night Long 2: Atrocity (1995)

Directed by Katsuya Matsumura

Holy fuckin cow. This shit hit my top 5 movies on my all time disturbing list. NO PLOT! Sorta follows same revenge theme from ANL1.

Geeky kid who likes to grope Manga dolls gets bullied by this gay (y'know gay) ass kid and his hysterically crazy gang. Utilizing the Internet he tries to get help from some other hackers.

One of the most violent flicks I've ever seen. So many disturbing scenes, I shiver just thinking about them.

Sex slave torture, Samurai stabbings, Barry Bonds power blood swings with baseball bats...more blood and guts then you can handle.

All Night Long 3: Final Atrocity

All Night Long 3: Final Atrocity (1996)

Directed by Katsuya Matsumura

Fucking crazy Japanese at it again, this time with nerdy teen working in sleazy motel and collecting woman's trash including condoms, maxipads, food and other junk. Boy becomes obsessed with girl but can't talk to her because he's fucking nuts.

Using girl's garbage he creates a montage including pubic hair (!). Eventually as you'd expect, boy kidnaps girl and proceeds to express his love to her psychotically.

Not as pulsating as part 2 but has it's good share of moments.

Urination, sex, degradation, torture and rape (Japan loves their rape).

Rating (for all 3 movies):

Quarantine (Trailer)

Wow. So as you can see I reviewed Rec a few days ago and after watching the trailer for the US remake Quarantine, I can't believe this is going to be a shot for shot remake.

Fuckin Hollywood.

Everything is exactly the same. Every scene (from the opening old woman zombie to the night vision ending) is going to be plagiarized. The TV reporter is wearing the same white tank top as the Spanish version!

Coupled with more CGI gore, a metal or indie rock soundtrack and severe product placement, this will be another Holly-crap horror production that is the equivelant of a movie Sparknotes.

Well I figure the Spanish filmakers are ok with this but it goes to show you that even when American horror goes right (see Hatchet and Behind the Mask) we are so uncreative that we have to look for our ideas and stories elsewhere.

Quarantine comes out October 17th.

Check out the trailer.
