MARTYRS (DVD)

The torture being witnessed isn’t sensationalized like it is in films such as “Hostel” or “Saw”…There’s a purpose here.

LATE BLOOMER (DVD)
|
  Year Released: 2008 MPAA Rating: Unrated Running Time: 90 minutes |
It’s a lazy comparison, but one that’s rather unavoidable: this 2004 film has the look and feel of “Tetsuo, the Iron Man.” It’s still not as visually chaotic as Shinya Tsukamoto’s film, but it certainly has its spirit.

BEASTER
|
Year Released: 2004 MPAA Rating: Unrated Running Time: 10 minutes |
HAPPY EASTER! Goddamnit, I love blasphemy and you can’t get much more blasphemous than Vin Morrone’s “Beaster”. This horror short depicts the Resurrection of Christ as how I would like to imagine it – a bloody zombie nightmare…

GUTTERBALLS (DVD)
|
Year Released: 2009 MPAA Rating: Unrated Running Time: 90 minutes |
This is not a good movie, but it is a must see for true fans of sicko cinema. It doesn’t stop ramping up the sleaze factor until it’s over and you’re sitting there with your head spinning.

MONSTERS VS. ALIENS
|
Year Released: 2009 MPAA Rating: PG Running Time: 94 minutes |
IN THEATERS! Yes, the 1950s monster movie homage is there, but it’s not consistent and too often tends to take a backseat to your run-of-the-mill goony Dreamworks Animation humor.

TOKYO GORE POLICE (DVD)
|
Year Released: 2008 MPAA Rating: Unrated Running Time: 109 minutes |
“Tokyo Gore Police” has a real “Robocop” feel about it. And, like Verhoeven’s sci-fi classic, it’s plenty gory, too…

Right from the get-go it gives you a faceful of hate with both barrels and it just stays the course all the way through. Every second of this movie that goes by is brutal…
