Eden Lodge

I recorded this off the Horror Channel. Didn't know anything about it and hoped it would maybe have something to do with the fantastic Eden Lake. But, alas, the two films are completely unconnected.




PS - you can see what made me think the films were connected.

A couple of quickies i've reviewed in the past.
 
The Fog (1980)

John Carpenter's brilliant chiller plays with our innermost fears of the dark, delivering shock after shock as ghosts terrorize a sleepy Californian coastal town. from the opening moments and John Houseman's unsettling camp fire tale the film grabs you and never lets go. It's easy to overuse these words when it comes to horror movies but chilling, scary, creepy, spooky and atmospheric sum up The Fog perfectly. A stone cold classic and one of my favourite horror films of all time.


Pumpkinhead (1988)

Stan Winston's terrific morality tale of a demon resurrected from hell by a witch to carry out vengeance is a horror classic that is often overlooked when it comes to 80's horror. Supremely atmospheric with fairytale like qualities and one of the greatest creature designs ever, Pumpkinhead is must see October viewing.

Grizzly (1976, USA)

Grizzly (1977)

What starts out like one of those Disney Wilderness films,soon passes as a Grizzly bear attacks a couple of women and we are soon knee deep in blood and the odd body Part. Christopher George is the head park ranger in charge of capturing the psycho bear, who seems attracted to naked women or semi clad ones,but does not mind munching on the odd child either. William Girdler's Grizzly is nowhere near as fun as his later film Day of the Animals,trouble is when the bear attacks,you get a close up of the bear growling,then a shot of what appears to be someone wearing some false paws and claws then another shot of what looks like someone wearing a fur coat. I mean the bear just does not look like he is that bothered. That said the B-movie list cast headed by Christopher George, Andrew Prine (gets hugged to death by said bear) and Richard Jaeckel (gets hugged then buried,then killed) are all pretty good.The idea that the story Jaws would translate and work with a bear was pushing it even for exploitation film. Whats 15 ft' tall and shits in the woods?

Flesh Eating Mothers (1988)

http://oblivion.a.ltrbxd.com/resized...g?k=3b1af429a4

Overlong and stupid, even for a Troma movie, but there is something inexplicably engaging about watching venereal disease infected mothers with super-human strength feasting on the flesh of their children (or anyone that happens to cross their path for that matter).

45/100

Horror House on Highway Five (1985)

http://skyfall.a.ltrbxd.com/resized/...g?k=4e62549a07

This film... is just something else. No matter how you attempt to describe the plot, you're doing it a disservice as there's just so much going on, and yet nothing really makes any sense... but arguably, nor does it have to. It's full to the brim with raw, fully cooked and half-baked ideas like some sort of foul smelling, nauseating, but more-ish stew; a stew that you could never quite make the same way again even when following the recipe to the letter; a stew that left me wanting more of its madness by the time the end credits rolled around.

We have a mysterious Richard Nixon mask wearing kidnapper who prowls the local highways looking for victims and his two sons; the eldest who is a mad Nazi scientist with a V2 rocket specialty named "Dr Marbuse" who suffers from 'parasitic brain worms' and his younger brother, the less than mentally astute Gary, who has a closet necrophilia fetish and a penchant for tarot cards. Throw in some off-kilter music, supernatural elements and slapstick comedy (including the oft-parodied and infamous 'man steps on rake' gag) and you truly have a film of ****ed-up proportions for the ages. I think if anything can be described by the old age adage of 'more than the sum of its parts' this film is that something.

65/100
