Trapped Alive (1988)

A group of escaped prisoners take two women hostage and proceed to drive their car into a mineshaft. They must go deeper into the mine in an attempt to find a way out, but something old and crusty is lurking down there. I'm not going over there. This movie was so close to being a schlocky horror masterpiece. It's right on the edge, but…

NFL Power Rankings – Week 7

Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. Week 7 is here and it's time to talk rankings! We've ditched the S+ category because the 49ers looked decidedly un-S+ this week. So we have a three team S tier with San Francisco, Kansas City, and Detroit. More on Detroit later, but let's look at a team who's doing surprisingly…

Possession (1981)

I heard lots of good things about this movie, but I think they were all lies. Not really. There is some fun to be had, but it's not exactly the most coherent story. The two main characters are a husband and wife having marital issues due to growing apart and infidelity. They both descend into their own type of madness with horrific results including…

Blood Diner (1987)

This is an awful movie, but it's the kind of trash B-movie that I tend to like. The plot follows two idiot brothers who own and maintain a diner. They resurrect their dead uncle as a brain with eyes in a bottle to help them perform rituals to raise some Lumerian demon called Sheetar. The process involves putting together a female body from parts…

Eden Lake (2008)

A romantic camping getaway at a lake turns messy for a woman and her boyfriend when they encounter a group of shithead teens. Things progressively escalate as the group of ruffians steal their car and the Michael Fassbender boyfriend accidentally kills the group leader's dog. There were several tense scenes and some gross out wounds. I was pleasantly surprised when it never went the…

Mad God (2021)

This is like Koyaanisqatsi directed by David Lynch. There is no denying the artistic quality of the visuals and sound. Primarily stop motion animation, the movie takes you to a hellish underworld as a gas masked character must deliver a suitcase full of dynamite somewhere for some reason. I can't really begin to know what the hell is going on in this movie as…
