Black Devil Doll (Trailer)

I really think I've seen every sorta genre movie. Be it mushy chick flick to hard-gore horror. Hence the name: the jaded viewer. But every once in a while, I'll see a flick and go "Wow that's fuckin new!"

After seeing the trailer for Black Devil Doll, I said that exactly.

Part blaxploitation, part porn, part horror-omedy. It's a mix bag of grindhouse homage and cheesey velveeta goodness.

Director Jonathan Lewis with fellow writer Shawn Lewis (who is the man behind Rotten Cotton and defunked Blackest Heart Media) envisioned this soon to be cult favorite.

!!TANGENT ALERT!!

I bought some shit from Blackest Heart Media (Insano Steve and I called him Blackheart) and even met Shawn Lewis at a Chiller convention years back. I can't believe he made this shit. Kudos to him.

!!END TANGENT ALERT!!

According to IMDB, it's a homage to Chester Turner's low budget Black Devil Doll From Hell.

It's the most fuckin funniest trailer I've seen in a while.

BE WARNED!!! IT'S SORTA OFFENSIVE AND FILLED WITH RATED R NUDITY!!!!

Check out the Rated R trailer.

To see gratuitous nudity, lots of cursing and splatter-ific gore, see the unrated, uncensored trailer on the official site.

BONUS TRAILER!!!!

It's the original trailer for Chester Turner's low budget Black Devil Doll From Hell.

Amatuer Porn Star Killer 2 (Review)

Amateur Porn Star Killer 2

Amateur Porn Star Killer 2 (2008)

Directed by Shane Ryan

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Oh sorry about that. I'm up now. So your here for a review of APSK2 right?

No problem.

Here's the really short review.

Talking. Killing. Porn. Killing. Porn. Killing.End.

Good enough? No? Arghhh. OK. Let's see what I remember from this flick before I dozed off.

Everybody has that friend that when you go over their house, they always turn on the video camera and videotape everything. That same friend also makes you watch old video footage of him/her with her friends doing something goofy on camera. Everybody has that friend. The amatuer video star. The person who loves seeing themselves on camera. He/she is in every shot, every interview and every embarassing moment.

If you watch APSK, that's Shane Ryan.

I never watched the 1st one, just watched the trailer and a clip on YouTube. But I got the entire gist of it. But I got curious. Could a POV serial killer flick with porn work on both levels???

Umm. Ehhhh. Sorry dude.

It doesn't.

Porn and Horror (though very similar) are like oil and water. They kinda don't mix. Yeah horror initiates it's world through sex and violence, but porn is raw. And I really can't say this works.

The pseudo snuff movie genre seems to be making a come back. With the release of the Poughkeepsie Tapes, somehow we've got a new genre of POV killer movies clammoring to be seen in the world of the over drenched world of torture porn.

But thats it. If your playing in the world of torture porn (which is what APSK2 tries to do) and you add real porn, somehow it loses the point.

If you read all that, the plot revolves around a pseudo doc about Brandon who has murdered over 22 girls. Between the main storyline which he stalks a victim played by Kai Lanette (who cowrote the movie), we see various old video footage flashbacks of Brandon and his murders of various girls (being identified as "Victim #3" and such)

The dialogue is cluttered, improvised and reality tv show-ish. The slow tension burns into obliviousness. And the climax (pun intended because I'm fuckin bored of writing this review) was just boring. Real porn movie endings are better.

I quote a line from Scream to end this rather jaded review.

Sidney: "You sick fucks, you've seen one too many movies!"

Billy: "Now Sid, don't you blame the movies, movies don't create psychos, movies make psychos more creative!"

Shane Ryan wanted to be a porn star and instead made a torture porn flick with real porn.

Kudos to him for being creative.

Amateur Porn Star Killer (Trailers)

The jaded viewer has always tried to introduce flicks you've never heard of. We've dug up movies from the bowels of underground horror.

The snuff sub genre is on the fringe on the edge of sicko-core.

Movies in this category are slim.

Fred Vogel's August Underground comes to mind first. The Guinea Pig "Devil's Experiment" is another.

But a new kid is on the block.

Shane Ryan's Amateur Porn Star Killer and its just released sequel are now the new disturbing fucked up flicks that have added their names to the fringiest of the fringe.

Rewind the Insanity:

OK. It's pseudo snuff. But with porn.

I haven't seen this shit myself, but many have and from the bytes in the trailer they are all now viewers who have been mentally disturbed.

Pseudo snuff flicks are never any good. They make you sick, dirty and disturb the FRAK out of you, but are not actually good movies.

But alas, you watch because if these movies make a mental horror impact, the director's done their job.

So be aghast and watch the trailers.
