And they spend more time talking about a Double Feature that has never been given this attention.  And it's a really fun Double.  Ernest R. Dickerson's Surviving the Game (1994) & Albert Pyun's Mean Guns (1997).  It's a real Ice T fest and yes, it is as cool as you think it's going to be.  And don't worry, this is Mike Scott, Hard Target will also be discussed in great detail.

SCHLOCK AND AWE DOUBLE FEATURE

The tale of Two Families: Hereditary (2018), Written and Directed by Ari Aster Insidious Chapter 2, Written by Leigh Wannell, Director James Wan In  recent years the term ‘Elevated’ or ‘Social’ Horror has term flung around for a certain kind of Horror Movie.  It’s a difficult term to define.  Is it a more emotionally complex slow burn horror that has been made with the likes of It Follows, The VVitch, and the criminally under seen Doctor Sleep.  Or is it the Horror that people or critics that think is good.  The 2010s is the decade when Get Out and Shape of Water won Oscars, and very deserved ones.  It could be argued that ‘Elevated Horror’ doesn’t really exists, that it’s just it marketing tool. After all studios like A24 and Blumhouse to some extent, have been making their business plan that revolves around more Arthouse and genre blending Horror Movies with something else on their mind is not a new phenomenon, Candy Man, Godzilla, Night of the Living Dead, The Invasion of the Body S

S&A The Voyurism of the Who Done It Slasher - Happy Birthday To Me and The New York Ripper

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, DIR J L THOMPSON, 1981 & NEW YORK RIPPER DIR LUCIO FULCI 1982      The Slasher genre has it's roots firmly in the Murder Mystery.  It's the Italian's who give the murder mystery a more kill and gore focus: Blood and Black Lace ,  The Bird with the Crystal Plumage and Torso .  Incredibly stylish movies with fashion, wealth and a killer often in black gloves.  What is important, especially for the movies I am going to be talking about; is the camera taking the POV or the Killer POV.  Something the later Slasher genre would take up with gusto, as the 1980s slid into masks and machetes, where the the final girl and  body count was more the primary objective.  At the Slasher's height, in the early 1980s, you see the melding with Giallo, as the two movies Happy Birthday to Me and The New York Ripper shows.  They are both Hodge Podge of Hitchcock, mystery, gore, kills but on completely different spectrum of film making.  One movie is all plot the o

Wes Craven Kick Part 3 - I am a Child of the 1990s

I was born in the ealry 1980s but I am a child of the 1990s.        It is the decade I grew up, the decade where my tastes really formed.  I like snappy dialogue, flannel shirts, boot leg jeans and short skirts.  I had a Rachel as a teenager.   It was in the 1990s where I became to really love going to the movies.  Almost every week I went to the cinema.  It's not surprising that it's this decade of Wes Craven's work that I really conncet with.  I didn't know it the time, but Craven was one of those directors that shaped by tastes as much as Tim Burton and Steven Spielberg.  And it's in this decade where Craven really hits his stride and makes some of his great movies that changed where horror went, yet again. NIGHT VISIONS 1990      Night Visions moves and feels like a television pilot.  And before you ask; yes I would have watched at least three seasons of James Remar and Loryn Locklin solve crimes together.    Night Visions is a completly in accurate depiction
