Zombi 3 (1988)
Absolutely crazy
I just picked up the Zombie Pack from Shriek Show a couple days ago and watched Zombi 3 (1988) for the first time. I'll admit I'm reasonably easy to impress with a zombie flick because as long as there is some carnage and fun to be had, I'm happy with it. With that said however, this one went beyond just a simple curiosity and might have earned a spot among my favourite zombie flicks.
This is the one that was started by Fulci until he dropped out of its production before its completion due to health and possibly creative reasons. I'm sure it could have been much better with him around, but it is still a very fun outing. It has all sorts of different types of zombies in it and some really crazy things go down. A couple highlights (out of many!) for me would be the scene in the garage where the girl gets chased by the super fast, machete wielding zombie. I also loved the infamous floating head scene. This film is just full of unbelievable *beep* that could only have ever been put to film in an old Italian outing.
Yes it's cheesy, yes it's dumb, yes it's insane, yes it doesn't always make sense, but damn is it ever entertaining. Sorry for overhyping it for those who haven't seen it as it definitely requires a special type of viewer to enjoy it, but I would recommend it to any seasoned zombie aficionado who is looking for some more obscure oddball outings.
Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day (2009)
That's trailer park life!
I'll keep this review pretty informal. I just want to let fellow 'TPB' fans know that this movie is yet another great addition to the series.
Trailer Park Boys is easily in my top three shows ever made so naturally, I was really looking forward to this film. Thankfully, 'Countdown to Liquor Day' did not let me down!
To be completely honest, I wasn't too sure how I felt about this movie when I first saw it. As you'll find out, there are some changes made to Sunnyvale, and once again, Cory and Trevor were absent. It seems they'll never be back, but at least this movie didn't continue focus on Jacob and the twiggy alien Trevor's. They were good characters, but they just didn't compare to Cory and the Trevster. Anyways, after watching the movie a few more times, everything started to sink in and I began to spot all the hilarious little details that are always included in the series. This movie has just about everything I wanted in a new 'TPB' movie and because of that, I couldn't be happier. Number one, this movie feels like one long episode with some extra budget and craziness thrown in, and number two or three or whatever number we're on, Ricky hits us with some amazing new Rickyisms. Randy, Lahey, and the boys are in top form here as usual and it makes for an excellent film!
I really liked 'The Big Dirty', so with 'Countdown..', I was hoping that worst case in Ontario, it would be at least as good as the former. I feel it definitely surpassed 'TBD' and that's all I could ever ask for.
Bone Sickness (2004)
For fans of ultra low budget splatter!
I'll keep this review generally informal, just to get across what one would likely want to know about this film before viewing it.
First off, this film is an absolute piece of garbage by the conventional standards of mainstream cinema. It is poorly acted, poorly scripted, poorly lit (ex. green dollar store light bulbs), the story is quite weak, etc. I also warn you, this film is ultra low budget, and it LOOKS low budget. Yes, this is one of the ones that you can tell was shot on a cheap digital camera. It has that video feel and atmosphere, so don't expect even B movie quality video, as this one's Z grade all the way.
With all that said, this film is very enjoyable for the right audience. It is an absolute gem for horror fans that can look past, or even enjoy a film that has that low budget charm. If you want to watch a film that puts gore before everything else, this is a great choice. We get many gore gags throughout the first chunk of the film, and then towards the end, we get a massive (MASSIVE!) payoff of cheap but very well done splatter. The zombies are of the slow, clunky, Fulci variety, and the gore is slimy, dirty, gooey, bright, splattery, etc. It gets really gross.
To wrap this up, this is a film for low budget splatter fans who have already experienced the likes of all the classic gore films. This one is for those who want to dig a little deeper and explore cheap, low budget splatter by the lesser known and established film makers. It's for people who highly regard the classic gore (not that it's all about the gore) of a Romero, Jackson, Raimi, Argento, Fulci, etc, but can also have a lot of fun with the likes of Olaf Ittenbach type splatter flicks.
