I hadn't even seen the trailer yet when I got a special screening ticket (cause the Last House doesn't come out in theaters until Friday).  I wasn't sure about how I felt the opening scene, although there was a light at the end of the tunnel.  I'm pretty sure the "son" in this movie played a part in Mystic River.  I didn't know any of the other actors, but they were all very good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Last House on the Left&lt;/i&gt; was as good if not better&lt;/b&gt; than the 70's original version.

I like supernatural horror films. It didn't have a lot of intense cultural meaning but the story was well told. It had groovy character actors like Sally Kirkland and Geoffrey Lewis. The other actors were good too. Leah Pipes as Melanie is a girl who O.D.'s, then dies and comes back to life. Therefore she can see dead people, specifically dead kids from a bus crash in San Antonio, Texas. That works for me. They also did a nice job with a little commentary on how difficult it can be to regain a good reputation after something goes wrong. Even Melanie's family doesn't trust her after her mishap. So what does it take to come back from something like that?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-3854797823429208224?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/feeds/3854797823429208224/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2831832370586605123&amp;postID=3854797823429208224' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/3854797823429208224'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/3854797823429208224'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2008/11/fingerprints-2006.html' title='Fingerprints 2006'/><author><name>Spooky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r54dBEWodbw/S3lfBkJBzAI/AAAAAAAAABc/lAHueAZk9_o/S220/orange.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-4663066340941600436</id><published>2008-08-07T16:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-07T16:57:52.200-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Ruins</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px;" src="http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/custom/57/10008957.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ruins (2008, directed by Carter Smith) was plenty gruesome and filled with enough suspense!

The game is in the hands of two handsome, young, charismatic golf players that cause psychological torture like you've never seen.  The movie kept me waiting for the next scene to bring some sort of relief.  (and does the relief ever come?)  Everything about Funny Games from the acting to the cinematography is matchless.  You don't typically come across films like this (a gem!).  Naomi Watts, Tim Roth and Devon Gearhart give outstanding (believable) performances as a family trying to survive the night and protect each other from two unknown, violent psychopaths.  The intruders are manipulators ( and malignant narcissists?) of the highest form, and their pleasure is derived from playing god.  Beware, this isn't your typical slasher film.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-3172873084047758024?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/feeds/3172873084047758024/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2831832370586605123&amp;postID=3172873084047758024' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/3172873084047758024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/3172873084047758024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2008/07/funny-games.html' title='Funny Games'/><author><name>Paulo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08946783668805963392</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ODzBiUwnN4s/Svh0t7jfRlI/AAAAAAAAABE/k93fnMUv7DI/S220/Sauna.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-7306188386911076368</id><published>2008-07-29T09:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-29T09:19:04.608-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ronald Reagan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tripper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='David Arquette'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paul Reubens'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jamie King'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hippies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fishbone'/><title type='text'>Tripper</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344" align="right"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VbNWnyOeKJw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VbNWnyOeKJw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just realized I never talked about "Tripper". Not sure about the whole Reagan killing hippies stuff, especially since we have new poster children for representing 'Evil Republican'. But there's a nostalgia about it I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First let me say my fave scene is the nudist scene and I don't want to spoil that. I also like when Jamie King runs into a drum circle freaking out and the people are too high and tranced out to listen to her, and then they dose her with acid by somehow macing her (sp? what I mean to say is they sprayed her like one would spray an attacker with pepper spray) with it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The movie has also has an all star cast. Just to name a few: Paul Reubens, he acts like Peewee but he says fuck all the time. Awesome. The kid from Witness is in it. And he has a moustache. Jamie King. I'm not so much of the demographic to know what else she's been in though she's somewhat familiar. The hot dad from The Mist in a totally different role. This guy is versatile. The anti drug guy is the villain, awesome. No wait, the traumatized blue collar aggie kid is the villain. And was that Fishbone? That was totally Fishbone. Party at Ground Zero. "It's our God-given right to rock."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good special feature involved a PA finding a human finger while she was sweeping the set. I don't even believe them but it was a good gag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over all, did it hang together too well? Not so much. Did it have lots of fun stuff? Absolutely.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-7306188386911076368?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/feeds/7306188386911076368/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2831832370586605123&amp;postID=7306188386911076368' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/7306188386911076368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/7306188386911076368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2008/07/tripper.html' title='Tripper'/><author><name>Spooky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r54dBEWodbw/S3lfBkJBzAI/AAAAAAAAABc/lAHueAZk9_o/S220/orange.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-5576009779546678373</id><published>2008-07-27T21:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-29T09:03:50.918-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mick Garris'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fear Itself'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Masters of Horror'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lucky McKee'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eater'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Angela Bettis'/><title type='text'>Fear Itself</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/coverv/53/268253.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px;" src="http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/coverv/53/268253.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can't believe I haven't talked about Fear Itself. My current favorite TV show that I can watch on the Web besides The Office.&lt;br&gt;I loved the cable series Masters of Horror. Same guy behind this series, Mick Garris. First let me say that my favorite episode of Fear Itself so far is "Eater." That said, I loved watching Eric Roberts in "Spooked". The show features great directors and I love the short form for giving them a chance to try out stuff. I hope they keep trying out stuff. p.s. my favorite Masters of Horror episode was "Sick Girl" by Lucky Mckee, director of one of my favorite horror films, "May."

I am excited about it because the actors are good. I recently watched Turistas. I did appreciate that it was set in Brazil and was probably a reaction to Brazil's reaction to 911. And I also appreciated the underwater photography which I can't find a publicity photo of, I guess because they are trying to save it for when you watch the movie. But otherwise it was kind of rote. And not even rote enough to have some big scary guy say in a scary way "Tu-ris-tas."

In fact you could say I've been kind of living one. But that aside, here's what I've been watching:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hatchet (2006). "Old School American Horror"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlgsiix43KU" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlgsiix43KU&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Behind The Mask (2006).

The title seems simple but I can never remember it correctly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/rightatyourdoor/trailer/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/rightatyourdoor/trailer/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bad Reputation (2005) They should call this Bad Makeup artist but it was entertaining.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.badreputationmovie.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.badreputationmovie.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think many of these are from Anchor Bay Entertainment. They are a company with a catalog of B horror flicks whom I'd be interested in working for (if only I could  write a proper English sentence) but can't seem to figure out where they actually are. I see they are a subsidiary of Starz but that's about all I can figger out, shucks.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-2149530751661447973?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/feeds/2149530751661447973/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2831832370586605123&amp;postID=2149530751661447973' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/2149530751661447973'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/2149530751661447973'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2008/02/just-because.html' title='Just Because'/><author><name>Spooky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r54dBEWodbw/S3lfBkJBzAI/AAAAAAAAABc/lAHueAZk9_o/S220/orange.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-7254533153076153326</id><published>2007-12-07T12:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-07T12:47:49.075-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='deathproof'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rosario dawson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kurt russell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Grindhouse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quentin Tarantino'/><title type='text'>Deathproof (2007)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2007_Grindhouse/2007_grindhouse_dp_005.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2007_Grindhouse/2007_grindhouse_dp_005.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hot badass chicks and muscle cars. How can you go wrong? Once again I loved the -let me specify-  scratched print effects. I wasn't crazy about the torn print effects. I have to say I think Rodriguez was overall more artful in his effects use. But I have to give it up to Tarantino-he's exciting. Where Planet Terror is primarily a love story, Deathproof is a revenge story. It was Faster Pussycat expanded and fleshed out in some really good ways. Kurt Russell was good, although the more family friendly light romantic comedy stuff he does with Goldie and such (and I know he started out on Disney) the harder it is for me to remember Snake Pliskin. I think he should do like Travolta and only be a badass for a while. Rosario Dawson was rockin as always though I'm a little conflicted about her final scene and I was so on board up until then. And I liked the casting of Zoe, I have to give it up to Tarantino also that he takes chances and that's why he really is an inspiring artist. Oh, and of course I loved the chick from Brooklyn with the bad accent and the pot belly. I am all about picking up her lapdance moves.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-7254533153076153326?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/feeds/7254533153076153326/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2831832370586605123&amp;postID=7254533153076153326' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/7254533153076153326'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/7254533153076153326'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2007/12/deathproof-2007.html' title='Deathproof (2007)'/><author><name>Spooky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r54dBEWodbw/S3lfBkJBzAI/AAAAAAAAABc/lAHueAZk9_o/S220/orange.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-8531019999185570734</id><published>2007-11-27T06:49:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-27T06:58:42.523-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Billy Friedken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ashley Judd'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='William Friedken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Harry Connick Junior'/><title type='text'>Bug (2007)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://z.about.com/d/movies/1/0/q/J/P/bugposter2b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px;" src="http://z.about.com/d/movies/1/0/q/J/P/bugposter2b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is their best movie poster I think. I never saw this design in any advertising for the movie. Now about the movie.&lt;br /&gt;I was looking forward to a film by Friedken, because I love him. It seems like they kept threatening to release the film and putting it off. He does specialize in claustrophobic one-set movies. I'm not sure if he pulled it off this time. I'm sure there's a reason. Like maybe he didn't finish it. It wasn't his kind of ending. I thought Harry Connick Jr. was good and scary as Ashley Judd's abusive husband. This is a good movie to watch if you want to see a lot of Ashley Judd's breasts. Which also didn't seem very Friedkin-like. Oh well, not that I'm complaining, you gotta have something right?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-8531019999185570734?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/feeds/8531019999185570734/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2831832370586605123&amp;postID=8531019999185570734' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/8531019999185570734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/8531019999185570734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2007/11/bug.html' title='Bug (2007)'/><author><name>Spooky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r54dBEWodbw/S3lfBkJBzAI/AAAAAAAAABc/lAHueAZk9_o/S220/orange.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-8994409732649098502</id><published>2007-11-27T06:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-27T06:57:40.296-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Robert Rodrigues'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fergie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael Beihn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marlee Shelton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Planet Terror'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Josh Brolin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Grindhouse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rose McGowan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jeff Fahey'/><title type='text'>Grindhouse!

I'm even sorrier that I did not see them as a double feature in the theater. What was I thinking?&lt;br /&gt;But let me talk about Planet Terror. I love the bad print effects and the trailer for Machete. I love the inconsistencies, like how the lady cop's uniform suddenly is torn off into a little sexy top, and how she suddenly becomes part of the biochemist's team.&lt;br /&gt;Rose McGowan as Cherry Darling is every woman's fabulous shadow. I love Jeff Fahey. I love Jeff Fahey and Michael Beihn as brothers. I love the bitchy twins.&lt;br /&gt;I laughed, I cried. &lt;br /&gt;I loved Cherry's dance moves that came together in the end to make her such a badass. I loved that Marlee Shelton as Josh Brolin's wife was a cheating dyke, and not only that, her lover was Fergie from the Black-Eyed Peas.&lt;br /&gt;It's so chock full I can't even list all the things I love about this movie. Little moments that are so great.&lt;br /&gt;At Blockbuster there are regularly only two copies of Planet Terror on a whole wall of Planet Terror boxes.

The Shining meets 13 Ghosts meets __ - something familiar, when I think of it I'll let you know. John Cusack is well cast and miscast. He's sort of not scary enough, to me anyway. Although I liked him and was surprised at him in Identity. This kind of felt like he's bored with it already.

I only knew about it because my Internet Technology students at AI recommended it (this was like 2 years ago, talk about living under a rock). OK, some of the male students recommended it, and some of the famale students were like, it's just slasher crap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I beg to differ. I loved it, having finally seen it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But before I talk about Hostel, let me talk about my new local Blockbuster. I just joined Blockbuster under duress, because it's 2 blocks away and I'm trying to get to know the neighborhood, and Dish Network does not offer a particularly good deal on Satellite combined with Internet. So help me, I'm going with Verizon for DSL, and I don't want to get further into it than that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the important thing is, this blog was based on Cable horror, and as the previous posts will indicate, cable horror actually full on sucks. I think I was living in the 80's or something, where cable was a good place for horror. But come to find out, Blockbuster is a good place for horror. I never would have thought Blockbuster because when I lived in New York, Blockbuster was the conservative regime where even regular dumb movies were only available in their more dumber edited form. Subversive Blockbuster in my neighborhood has more horror than I can shake a stick at, and I don't know what to make of it. But I will just let sleeping dogs lie and do my best to not call too much attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now back to Hostel. As opposed to a Rob Zombie flick, which is about 70-80% gore to 20-30% story, this was more like 70-80% story and 20-30% gore, so fine by me and probably explainable in that Tarantino was a producer. I will be researching Eli Roth the director in the near future as well. I understand he's from Massachusetts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, so there are 3 main characters, a super moral American guy who's blonde and dorky (Derek Richardson as Josh) , a wordly American guy who's dark and could be in cultural background Middle Eastern or South American (Jay Hernandez as Paxton). And he also speaks fluent German. Plus a morally corrupt party boy/man from Iceland (Eythor Gudjonsson as Oli).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who do you think buys it first? Who lives? I was surprised. What gets them in trouble though, is the pursuit of, and for lack of a better word I'm going to go out on a limb here, pussy. Pretty much the Icelandic guy is a party guy like I said. The wordly guy likes pussy. The moral guy had a bad breakup. The wordly guy is out to get the bad breakup guy some pussy to get his mind off things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flagrant desire for pussy is definitely the primary first level underlying moral corruptness in a downfall here, so I wouldn't call it just gore. There's a morality tale here too. And the next level of punishment is basically for being a person of the first world and then naively leaving your safe zone. Because the Americans are the most sought after prey but the Japanese seem also to be very valuable. So actually you can probably tie in the pussy with the Ugly Americanism to equal comeuppance for exploiting foreign women, especially those of Eastern Europe in this case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I have to say I like the theme of comeuppance for exploiting women (and particularly 3rd world women but also 3rd world men), because so many gore flicks are so superficially punishing women simply for being sexual beings. And that's probably an oversimplification because I think the gore flicks are often anti-sex in general for both women and men (such as Halloween, Friday the 13th). Although if you look at the stuff from the 70s like Maniac, I think they take it out a little more on the ladies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'm so glad I watched Hostel. I thought it was very entertaining. And switched to Blockbuster. I can't recommend either one enough.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-6263680174211380766?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/feeds/6263680174211380766/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2831832370586605123&amp;postID=6263680174211380766' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/6263680174211380766'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/6263680174211380766'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2007/10/hostel-2005.html' title='Hostel 2005'/><author><name>Spooky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r54dBEWodbw/S3lfBkJBzAI/AAAAAAAAABc/lAHueAZk9_o/S220/orange.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-5507756851701133256</id><published>2007-05-21T07:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-22T06:23:36.609-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Samurai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cable television'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yokai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Werewolf'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Zombies With Breast Implants'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='horror'/><title type='text'>Kibakichi 2004</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kibakichi-Ryuji-Harada/dp/B00097E76M/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-7020206-3083050?ie=UTF8&amp;s=dvd&amp;qid=1179759481&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/5137MWSQ9HL._AA240_.jpg" align="right" hspace="6" vspace="4"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It's hard to imagine that this was made in 2004 because it feels like a 70s flick. I watched it for a while without understanding much, but the opening talks about some kind of demi-gods and a lot of weird stuff happened so I stuck with it. I only figured out that it was a Werewolf movie 50 minutes in. At the end it got pretty good because it a has a Werewolf/Other Weird Creature martial arts standoff, with a guy in a werewolf costume that reminded me of the old Godzilla movies where there's a guy in a Godzilla costume stomping through a 4 foot tall model of Tokyo. And I never figured out the connection between Werewolves and Samurai. I guess not being too into the Samurai genre, I'm a little ignorant about that part.

A surprisingly good treatment of a graphic novel which I think don't usually come off that well. Great production value, great cast. Future England is a good stand-in for our own present. When I saw the multitude in Guy Fawkes masks my heart yearned. This is the film that Natalie Portman was publicizing so hard with her shaved head. Whatever, that part actually amounts to pretty trivial shock value blown out of proportion. And that's a weird thing for me to say because generally I'm kind of into shock value. Because of this movie, I couldn't get the 1812 Overture out of my head for a couple of days. That might sound like a bad thing, but this movie is breaking a few of my "rules" and it's working for me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://movies.aol.com/movie/v-for-vendetta/21798/photos/v-for-vendetta-a-scene-from-warner-bros-pictures-and-virtual-studios-action/1470231" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cdn.channel.aol.com/pmms/productpagemovies/0c/07/1949961"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-1601306730690344306?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/feeds/1601306730690344306/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2831832370586605123&amp;postID=1601306730690344306' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/1601306730690344306'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/1601306730690344306'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2007/05/v-for-vendetta-2005.html' title='V for Vendetta 2005'/><author><name>Spooky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r54dBEWodbw/S3lfBkJBzAI/AAAAAAAAABc/lAHueAZk9_o/S220/orange.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-3507993640911004067</id><published>2007-05-20T17:04:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-14T21:48:01.274-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cabe television'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alien'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Elizabeth Banks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael Rooker'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='horror'/><title type='text'>Slither 2007</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://movies.aol.com/movie/slither/22884/photos/slither-starla-grant-elizabeth-banks-startled-by-her-husband-grant-grant/1481237" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cdn.channel.aol.com/pmms/productpagemovies/06/05/1977212" align="right" hspace="6" vspace="4"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Speaking of parasites, I just saw Slither. Almost brand new and a lot like Parasite 1982 in some ways. Similar looking parasites, big explosion at the end that kills the parasites. Slither is also a lot like The Faculty in some ways. Slither has a lot to love. Michael Rooker first of all, was really shining (I mean like an actor, not like Dick Halloran). The actors looked like they were having fun. Maybe that's because they're all good actors or it's because they were having fun. I like to think both.&lt;br /&gt;Things I learned on my summer vacation from Slither about alien destruction karma:&lt;br /&gt;1. If the people in your town are looking physically weird or behaving in a contradictory manner (for example, cleft palates and clergy really enjoying a cigarette) you (and they) are probably good candidates for alien invasion.&lt;br /&gt;2. If you don't have sex with your husband, he will go take a walk in the woods where he will be personally invaded by an alien even if he doesn't want that because he's gotta get it from somewhere OK? Furthermore, you are declaring right then and there you will ultimately be with the other guy who's been carrying a torch since you were kids. Because not having sex on that one night does imply that entire choice.&lt;br /&gt;3. Even an alien cannot resist the ideal American woman, who looks like Barbie, dresses like a suburban lady but still sexy, truly loves her husband and is in fact actually a good person (see fabulous Elizabeth Banks above).&lt;br /&gt;4. Said alien does not count on above true love, and that will totally f*** him up such that you can get the chance to blow him up.&lt;br /&gt;5. You do not need to be a big fancy scientist to figure out that you can just blow up an alien. Sure given more recent films one might say that it could create more spawn but sometimes you still these days can just blow them up so you might as well try that first when the chips are down.&lt;br /&gt;6. Southern accents can be very sexy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-3507993640911004067?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/3507993640911004067'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/3507993640911004067'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2007/05/slither.html' title='Slither 2007'/><author><name>Spooky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r54dBEWodbw/S3lfBkJBzAI/AAAAAAAAABc/lAHueAZk9_o/S220/orange.png'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-1066970350274594072</id><published>2007-05-20T16:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-22T06:06:46.063-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='demi moore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cable television'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='parasite'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='horror'/><title type='text'>Parasite 1982</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.fandango.com/mr.brooks_99310/moviephotosstills?ImageId=216839" target=_"blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.fandango.com//ImageRenderer.ashx?im=images%2fMasterRepository%2fFandango%2f99310%2f9.JPG&amp;w=250&amp;h=375&amp;mid=99310" align="right" hspace="6"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Speaking of Demi Moore, I just caught Parasite (1982). The new DVDs plug it as her first starring role, and she does look very St. Elmo's Fire in it. This movie has some extraordinary depth of field in places, and that made sense once I saw that it was originally released in 3D. It also is low budget and often crappy, but I couldn't tear myself away, even before Demi got into the action. The ADR was really bad in the beginning so I thought it might be a spaghetti horror film. I'm still not sure, something funky was going on there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084472/sales" target=_"blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/519QQRD4DCL._AA240_.jpg" align="left" vspace="4"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Demi, then and now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-1066970350274594072?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/feeds/1066970350274594072/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2831832370586605123&amp;postID=1066970350274594072' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/1066970350274594072'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/1066970350274594072'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2007/05/parasite-1982.html' title='Parasite 1982'/><author><name>Spooky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r54dBEWodbw/S3lfBkJBzAI/AAAAAAAAABc/lAHueAZk9_o/S220/orange.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-9168562381605306345</id><published>2007-05-15T18:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-22T06:29:12.852-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='serial killer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dane cook'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kevin costner'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mr. brooks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='demi moore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='william hurt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='steve head'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pop culture intel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hollywood horror'/><title type='text'>Mr. Brooks 2007</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://movies.yahoo.com/summer-movies/Mr-Brooks/1809426416/photos/56/1580" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/img.movies.yahoo.com/ymv/us/img/flickr/43/91/000465524391.jpg?x=660&amp;y=660&amp;sig=.oKMc8Z0VBPScFyl4TSn9w--" align="left" hspace="6" vspace="4" width="200" height="300"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Today I was the delighted recipient of a press pass to Mr. Brooks via &lt;a href="http://popcultureintel.com" target="_blank"&gt;Pop Culture Intel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First let me say thanks Steve Head. You should read his movie blog and look for his other writings. OK. Kevin Costner plays a serial killer the way he plays a CIA guy in the days when the CIA was boring. Or was it the FBI. Anyway, he plays a serial killer as if there was a time when serial killers were boring. He isn't scary or even creepy, and my friend said to me, did it excite you, did you want him to kill you? And I would say yes, if I had to be killed by a serial killer, I would like it to be him because it seems like it would be the quickest and least painful choice. But don't get me wrong, I was entertained watching him. Dane Cook was barely recognizable to me, so that was weird and probably a testament to his good acting. William Hurt was the most interesting. They started him out with Voice Over and I kind of wished they had kept it that way, but he pulled it off. It was definitely a progression in the direction he started with History of Violence. Where in that movie I felt he was tacked onto a role that was written for Walken or Hopper, here I'm starting to accept and even appreciate Hurt's new career direction. The cinematography felt excessively safe. Great abduction scene. Not great shootout scene. Terrible special effects on shovel throat-cutting murder (don't let that statement mislead you into thinking there's a lot of blood/violence in the movie, because not so much although they pull a little out towards the end). Implausible numbers of serial killers in Portland, Oregon. Implausible hair on detective Demi Moore (she couldn't possibly do her job with all that long hair out loose like that). Then again most of it was implausible by definition but for me some of those little details become distracting. The best part to me was the cat and mouse between Mr. Brooks and his daughter. That could have been developed more. Oddly Mr. Brooks' character I think could have been developed more, in a way it was like his aspects just didn't really add up for me, like there was some glue missing. All in all, very entertaining, though predictable Hollywood drama-style approach to horror. But I say the more Hollywood wants to do horror, the better, please more. I may have to come back to this after I've had more time to absorb it. I actually feel like I could want to watch it again and I never feel like that, I usually hate watching stuff more than once.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-9168562381605306345?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/feeds/9168562381605306345/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2831832370586605123&amp;postID=9168562381605306345' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/9168562381605306345'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/9168562381605306345'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2007/05/mr-brooks.html' title='Mr. Brooks 2007'/><author><name>Spooky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r54dBEWodbw/S3lfBkJBzAI/AAAAAAAAABc/lAHueAZk9_o/S220/orange.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-8183945877150803191</id><published>2007-05-15T18:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-22T06:29:48.568-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='french bad guys'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='derailed'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vincent cassell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='irreversible'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='next'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nicholas cage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cable television'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thriller'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clive owen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jennifer aniston'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='esp'/><title type='text'>Derailed 2005</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Derailed-Unrated-Widescreen-Vincent-Cassel/dp/B00005JOL4" target=_"blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41DNNY93YAL._AA240_.jpg" align="right" vspace="4" hspace="6"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;OK, this is really more of a thriller but I liked it.

They don't call it The Most Dangerous Night On Television for nothing. To give it a fair shake, let me start by telling you the premise. WWII Nazis bring gargoyles to life who then attack American planes. I thought they did a nice job making it look like a WWII film. The actors were good. The special effects were OK except in a couple of scenes they didn't so much pull it off.&lt;br /&gt;A long time ago I resolved not to watch cable movies with commercials, and especially not if they've been "edited for length and content." I also don't like movies that are rated PG, or unrated because they are basically G. I think I need to get back to those resolutions. I have premium channels, and that's why I pay the big bucks. So I'm done. If the movie doesn't start with at least 6 warnings for Adult Content, Nudity, Violence, etc., etc., etc. I'm not wasting my time anymore. It's not like you would need to read this review to know you didn't want to see "Gargoyles" if you share the sensibilities I mention. You'd already know because it has commercials and big animated logos on the bottom right and no decent rating to speak of.

This movie is pretty run of the mill crime thriller type stuff, with the exception of two scenes. One is the opening scene where he is hypnotizing a woman to stop her from smoking. Because he is a psychologist who treats people for smoking and who is also psychic. Anyway they do a nice job I think of showing her in her hypnotic state (I mean showing her interior state). And they have another scene I think is nice where they do the same with a little girl who has been abducted and tortured.&lt;br /&gt;So you can pretty much watch those two scenes and that's probably enough.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-6864390040719114753?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/feeds/6864390040719114753/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2831832370586605123&amp;postID=6864390040719114753' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/6864390040719114753'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/6864390040719114753'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2007/05/close-your-eyes.html' title='Close Your Eyes 2002'/><author><name>Spooky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r54dBEWodbw/S3lfBkJBzAI/AAAAAAAAABc/lAHueAZk9_o/S220/orange.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-3657043192171924919</id><published>2007-05-15T18:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-22T06:33:39.747-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='minotaur'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='basilisk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cable television'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yancy butler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rutger hauer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sci-fi channel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='horror'/><title type='text'>Basilisk:The Serpent King 2006 Made For Cable</title><content type='html'>If you have Comcast like I now do, the user interface for recording genre films (or I guess really any films) sucks compared to DirectTV (put another way Tivo). So basically you go to the horror section and then you have to record stuff by date. Like it shows you the two horror films that are on today, you press the right arrow on the remote, it shows you the two horror films that are on tomorrow (one of which is the same as today) and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say this because as a result I record everything questionable or not in case it might be good, or in case I run out of steam after pressing the right arrow 6 times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result of recording everything, I have been getting a lot of Sci-Fi Channel originals, which look like All My Children meets Lisa Bright and Dark meets Clash of the Titans. Mostly they suck. Well pretty much as a rule.&lt;p&gt; &lt;a href="http://imdb.com/gallery/ss/0274298/Ss/0274298/yancy-1372.jpg.html?path=pgallery&amp;path_key=Butler,%20Yancy" target="blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0274298/th-yancy-1372.jpg" align="right"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Of the recent Minotaur, Basilisk and one about an undersea creature who's name I can't even remember but had bad special effects in the first minute that made me just delete it immediately, I vote for Basilisk, mainly because it had Yancy Butler in it, the chick from Hard Target who is pretty much the same in this but older and not trying to be as nice. She was doing some Van Dammage.&lt;/p&gt;I will give to Minotaur that it had Rutger Hauer in the first half (and that is actually just sad) and the cast were all really extremely good looking. But it was like All My Children as a period piece so that's bad. The special effects of the Minotaur itself were OK. So I would say fast forward until the end. You can pretty much ff through Basilisk too. And just delete the sea monster one, or don't record it in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I see another Sci-Fi original that is good I'll let you know. But don't hold your breath.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2831832370586605123-3657043192171924919?l=horrorhead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/feeds/3657043192171924919/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2831832370586605123&amp;postID=3657043192171924919' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/3657043192171924919'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2831832370586605123/posts/default/3657043192171924919'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://horrorhead.blogspot.com/2007/05/basiliskthe-serpent-king.html' title='Basilisk:The Serpent King 2006 Made For Cable'/><author><name>Spooky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r54dBEWodbw/S3lfBkJBzAI/AAAAAAAAABc/lAHueAZk9_o/S220/orange.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831832370586605123.post-3228377332135368906</id><published>2007-05-15T18:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-15T19:21:23.569-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cable television'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='horror'/><title type='text'>Horror on Cable</title><content type='html'>OK, I'm gonna talk about horror on cable.
