Maniac Cop. A lunatic killer is stalking the streets of New York - a lunatic wearing the uniform of a police officer. Whether he's an impostor or a real cop turned psycho, the residents of New York are getting decidedly antsy. Young cop Bruce Campbell finds himself framed as the murderer and the police force is only too happy to accept his guilt, save for veteran detective Tom Atkins who is convinced the real madman is still at large... Very entertaining late 80s tongue in cheek horror thriller B movie that is still great fun.

*American Pie*

First time I've seen this since I was about 16. Took me the back. The soundtrack was nostalgic. The characters...I can't believe now that I used to relate to some of them!

The fact you related to him is more worrying that sticking a pie on your personage.

Film No. 7

sleepawaycamp2.jpg

Angela Baker is back but this time she is in charge she is now working as a councillor at another summer camp not far from the summer camp where she first reeked havoc many years ago. Angela has no time for any sexual behaviour from the campers and anyone she sees having too much of a good time gets "sent home" early from camp but will they ever make it home.

Sleepaway Camp 2 is a fun slasher the acting is decent the boobs are plentiful and the mullets are a thing of genuine beauty seriously Pat Sharp could only dream of such mullet perfection. The big problem with Sleepaway Camp 2 is the kills there is a pretty high body count but most of the kills the camera pulls away from the action and all we see it the blood spray on the ground of walls or on Angela herself and it's more than obvious that someone is squirting the blood from a fairy liquid bottle. Still a fun film and worth a gander and that end credit song HELL YEAH



With less cutaway from the kills it would of got a higher score.

Film No.8

Dude+Bro+Party+Massacre+III.jpg

After the murder of a member of the DELTA BI THETA fraternity by a serial killer known as Motherface his twin brother joins the fraternity to uncover the mystery of his " accidental " death.

This film is full of bad acting hit and miss jokes tons of blood and stupid characters. Shot to look like a vhs this is supposed to be the last found vhs after the films were destroyed. As stupid as this film is its a really fun watch and i would recommend lots of alcohol sadly i didnt have any but films like this are made for those drunken nights. There are a number of commercials inserted in between scenes some of these last a couple of seconds and others are a bit longer the ones the work the best with the humour are the short ones whereas some of the longest ones are feel like they were trying too hard and didnt work.

Couple of quick facts

Fact No. 1 Despite the title there are no parts 1 & 2 we get a summary of the first two parts at the start of part 3

Fact No. 2 The film stars Greg Sestero who many will know as Mark from The Room. Funny thing is his acting in such a low budget film like this is still better than what he offered in The Room.

OH HI MARK

As fun as it was for me its not for everyone just look at it as a couple of steps below Troma and you know what you are getting yourself in for.

Anarchy Parlor (2015)

Whilst traveling in Lithuania a group of friends are duped into visiting a local back street tattoo parlor by an inked girl (Finnish tattoo artist Sara Fabel) where things go from bad to worse.

You never know what you'll get from direct to dvd horror films. From poverty row hand held affairs to well produced films with a decent budget. Anarchy Parlor thankfully falls into the latter category.

Shot entirely on location in Lithuania's capital, Vilnius, which looks a stunning city from all the aerial views seen in this film, Anarchy Parlor could be construed as Hostel lite. The story feels slightly derivative to begin with, echoing the 'it's Eastern Europe so you're all going to die' racist style elements of Eli Roth's film. I ask you why do westerners visit these places if they all die? Have the authorities or INTERPOL not noticed yet? However as the plot slowly unfolds there's more going on than first imagined, it just takes it's time getting past the cliches to bring it all together.

The students are at times as dumb as they come, seemingly in Europe just to take drugs, go to raves and get laid with the local talent. Their decision making at times is ludicrous, however i get the feeling the film makers knew this, i mean how else are you going to get your self brutally murdered on holiday unless you make stupid choices like antagonizing the locals and wandering off down dark alleys with tattooed harlots?

The acting isn't bad although the lead girl (Tiffany DeMarco) does resort to crying the same "You're sick!" line as she watches her friend go under the knife. Other than that she's quite good in a role where her characters actions appear to get a bit of the old Stockholm Syndrome. The film belongs to Robert LaSardo though. An actor whose name you probably won't know but you'll be familiar with his face. A character actor who generally plays a tattooed heavy, prisoner or drug dealer and you may have seen in CSI Miami, Nip/Tuck and Death Race among his 119 acting roles. Coming across as a pleasant fella and the kind of man who puts you at ease as you go for your first tattoo, seriously, i couldn't believe it either, LaSardo's performance is excellent, and especially creepy as you think he's going to get up to lots of horrific acts. And he does!

Whilst not a torture porn film like Hostel, Anarchy Parlor is very gory. The camera loves the slice of a knife in close up detail, and it's a film that would never have appeared in video shops in the early 80's, or indeed 90's, uncut anyway.

Going under the title Killer Ink on UK dvd, Anarchy Parlor is a film i rather enjoyed.

Film No.9

Angela is back once again this bitch is getting worse than Jason at this stage

In a new summer camp Angela this time enlists as a teenager using the false identity of a girl she murdered in broad daylight in the middle of New York in a garbage truck that a blind person could see but no one else noticed on a busy street full of people. The twist this time around is that its not normal teens at the camp but a sort of social experiment to see how spoilt rich kids get alone with underprivileged poor kids.

Just like Sleepaway Camp II there is a high body count but constant cutaway from the kills and gore really lets things down and is a real shame because these are fun films. As is the case with II here the killing starts right from the start and does not let up until the very last second before the end credits. Oh and the boobage count is also pretty decent

Watched Telefon (1977, Don Siegel), a rather paranoid little film riding that post Watergate vibe nicely. "Vot?" "Ve only get play Russians Ven ze are plotting against ze Kremlin??" Ahem. Made a nice contrast with...


Towelhead (2007, Alan Ball)
Based on a novel, this coming of age tale is frank and quite controversial in it's frankness. Whilst not as skin crawlingly a watch as Happiness, it certainly has some stand out moments. None of which I'l be mentioning here haha. Dvd features some hysterically PC "discussions" which remind me in a roundabout way of the "furore" over The Life Of Brian
