35th Anniversary Retrospective: Friday the 13th Part III (1982)

0
0

The slasher sub-genre really came into its own in the early 1980s, thanks to the film that spawned this franchise; everyone with even just an ounce of filmmaking knowhow, was capitalizing on the slasher boom that Friday the 13th induced.

The slasher structure was easy to follow, and sometimes due to fluking it, or sometimes because of actual talent behind the camera, there was a genuine sleazy vision that came through the framing, lighting, and SFX work. It is quintessential comfort zone horror; it is the most basic of horror with its simplicity and predictability, sometimes making for some of the most entertaining horror. Nearing towards the end of the early ‘80s, many entries in the sub-genre veered towards campy and cheesy shenanigans. 1982’s Friday the 13th Part III, turning 35 years old this August, is a slasher sequel that is a perfect example of all this.

The director of the previous year’s Friday the 13th Part 2, Steve Miner, returns here. Like every installment in the series, it is a retread of the same formula, but tweaked a little to give it its own unique identity. Instead of young camp counselors in the setting of a campsite, this time it is a group of teenaged college friends on a weekend getaway at a Crystal Lake farmhouse. Jason Voorhees wears his iconic hockey mask for the first time. The late Richard Brooker’s portrayal of the hulking backwoods maniac man-child, set the template for everybody who donned the mask here after. The theme by regular F13 composer, Harry Manfredini, is a corny and funky disco track. It is also one of the most famous 3D movies of the ‘80s.

The writer of 1980’s original Friday the 13th, Victor Miller, had only created the young boy Jason who drowned at Camp Crystal Lake in 1957, used purely as a backstory for the motive of his vengeful murdering mother, Pamela Voorhees. SFX wiz, Tom Savini, designed the deformed appearance of this mentally challenged boy, who would come out of the lake in the final Carrie-esque jump scare depicted in a dream sequence, which was a rewrite of Miller’s original ending. It was not until Friday the 13th Part 2, when writer, Ron Kurtz, and director, Steve Miner, who had served as an associate producer on the previous film, made Jason Voorhees the antagonist. Miner then elevated the character’s status to major iconic movie villain in this entry, when creating a new distinct look for him, by giving him what would become, purely by accident, his prominent franchise trademark hockey mask, which is now so deeply imbedded in modern popular culture. Not bad going for a fluke.

The film begins with a recap of Part 2’s climax, after which there is a retcon leading into the opening events here, which possibly renders that previous installment’s final jump scare ending, as a dream sequence. Much like the original’s closing moments. We now see a wounded Jason lying on the ground, with his face out of frame. He drops his bloodstained machete that was embedded in his left shoulder by final girl, Ginny, and leaving it there along with the burlap sack that concealed his grotesque visage he crawls away. The reasons for the retcon, and Voorhees’ face out of picture, is because he is given a new imposing look here for a more intimidating presence, and to add more surprise and shock to his reveal in the climax facing off against the final girl.

The camera then slowly zooms in on Mrs. Voorhees’ mummified severed head. As it reaches a close-up and freeze frames, we hear Manfredini’s electro disco-esque score come in, with its synth bass and drum beat, along with the title card flying out from the macabre image in bright red. This is to let the audience know that the following proceedings are in 3D, with the effects of which as such, as is the credits.

There is then a flash forwards to the night after the events of Part 2, with the obligatory opening stalk n’ slash sequence. Jason Voorhees has found his way to a local lakefront grocery store, where he steals clothes to replace his bloodstained and torn rags from Ginny’s machete attack. He has somehow miraculously healed from his wound, as the screenwriters do not give a damn about continuity, throwing all logic out of the window.

Here Jason dispatches in expected grisly fashion, an undesirable husband and wife running the store, but only after, we are subjected to the man’s bowl movements. We witness him sitting on the toilet, complete with disgusting pooping sounds, and the dirty bastard does not even wipe his ass, flush and wash his hands after. This film uses three times, the common horror trope of exploiting our vulnerability in our most private moments, to add to the fear factor – with twice answering the call of nature, and naked while taking a shower. The latter of which is also used here to show us wet naked female flesh, juxtaposing titillation with a simultaneous gruesome death of the woman’s boyfriend, and in leading up to the next horrific set-piece.

Cutting to the next scene, we are introduced to the young group of slasher fodder. Their personality traits and relationships are established as they head off in a van to Higgins Haven, the family farmhouse of final girl, Chris Higgins (Dana Kimmell). This continues the stereotypical teen characters of the franchise, and of the sub-genre in general. There is the horny couple – Chris’ best friend who is pregnant, Debbie (Tracie Savage), and Andy (Jeffrey Rogers). There is the hippy stoner couple, Chuck (David Katims), and Chili (Rachel Howard). Tubby prankster, Shelly (Larry Zerner), who they all hate but we pity. Shelly’s way out of his league love interest is Vera (the beautiful, Catherine Parks). Arriving at Higgin’s Haven, we meet Chris’ boyfriend, Rick (Paul Kratka). Unbeknownst to this group of friends, Voorhees is hiding out in the farmhouse’s barn.

After Shelly and Vera get into an altercation with a gang of three bikers when visiting a grocery store, the bikers go to Higgins Haven to get revenge by siphoning the gas from their van, with the intention of burning down the barn. Instead, this sets up a set-piece during the climatic chase sequence, as Jason Voorhees inevitably murders all three of them.

While Chris and Rick have some alone time together away from the farmhouse, she explains to him why she moved away two years ago. In her flashback, a “horrible, disfigured man” attacks her, with an implication that she may have also been raped. Then back at the farmhouse, after Shelly plays a prank on Vera, wearing a hockey mask and using a speargun, he ventures into the barn when he hears a noise. A large man then comes out wearing the hockey mask and carrying the speargun, and it sure is not Shelly.

That is it. That is as far as the narrative goes, as Jason bumps off everyone in explicit, gory detail, until predictably, Chris remains for a thrilling chase and face off for the last 20-minutes, which is the strongest part of the proceedings. This includes the usual final girl discovering her dead friends’ bodies, and Voorhees throwing a corpse through a cabin window. The screenplay is of course terrible; it serves simply as an excuse to get a bunch of kids together in one location to be murdered in various graphic ways.

The screenwriters do not give a fuck about logic. When the kids are on their way to Higgins Haven, they come across a crazy old man lying in the middle of the road, and holding a human eyeball. They forget all about it straight after, not thinking to call the police. The old man takes the place of Crazy Ralph who was killed in Part 2, as the older generation warning the young of impending life threatening danger, is a common trope in the slasher sub-genre. Not one police officer drops by the farmhouse to warn them that a madman is on the loose, and there is not one TV or radio in the place to watch and listen to the news. Being oblivious to all the carnage around them in such a small town is just fucking ridiculous. Yet despite being so moronic, this still manages to be very entertaining stuff, ticking most of the right boxes for a serviceable slasher outing.

One of the main criticisms of this sub-genre is the characterizations of one-dimensional, annoyingly obnoxious teenagers, but the characters here are written and acted in such an over the top fashion, and delivering such hammy dialogue, it just adds a campy and cheesy charm, making them an ultimately likeable bunch. The awful acting of Kimmell almost ruins Chris though. However, she is made a sympathetic character, due to her plight of her past trauma of being attacked, and possibly raped, by Jason Voorhees, her realization that the masked nutcase who is terrorizing her, and who has murdered all her friends, is the same man, and her descent into madness in the closing moments.

The kills are really hit and miss in this one, as being shot in 3D, most are executed for such effect, and not only are they ineffective watching the film in 2D, but they are for the most part anyway, uninspired creatively. The Friday the 13th series has always been at its weakest when it comes to rely on gimmicks. There are though a couple of great exceptions here.

First, and most notably, there is Vera’s death via the speargun shot to her eye. With or without the 3D, it works very well, and is one of the best and most iconic kills of the entire franchise. Harry Manfredini’s more traditional F13 part of his soundtrack, ushers in the set-piece, as Jason appears in the hockey mask, slowly walking as he carries the speargun in both hands. He then stops to look at Vera, and now holding the speargun in his right hand, he slowly raises it and carefully takes aim. As Brooker aims directly towards the camera, the spear flies out hitting the screen, we feel the impact as it goes through Vera’s left eye, and then the masked lunatic drops the speargun as if it does not mean shit. The build-up thanks largely to Manfredini’s score, seeing Voorhees don the hockey mask for the first time, the precision of this sequence’s execution, and Park’s reaction when the spear hits, makes for one of the most memorable moments in slasher history.

This is followed up nicely by the gruesomeness of Andy’s bisection, of which the nastiness of its aftermath is also shown in all of its gory glory. The brutal bisecting of a man in Ruggero Deodato’s Cut and Run (1985) only rivals its disturbing nature. There are also many memorably creepy moments sprinkled throughout, including the dream sequence at the film’s ending – the ghastly imagery of a decomposed, worm-faced, Mrs. Voorhees, rising from the lake, grabbing Chris from the canoe she is sitting in, and dragging her under the water. This is of course, in homage to the original’s classic climatic jump scare – one of the greatest in the history of cinematic horror.

Friday the 13th Part III is arguably the lesser of the classic first four entries in the series. It features one of the worst final girls, and the murder set-pieces are mostly lackluster. Despite these shortcomings though, it still has enough highly memorable and very entertaining moments. Its injection of campiness and cheesiness only adds to its slashtastic fun factor, but it still maintains a mean-spirited tone, encapsulated in a twitchy giallo-esque atmosphere that transcends through these first four films. This is still immensely enjoyable hokum; serviceable slasher goodness doing what it says on the tin.

Ranking the 10 Greatest Killer Car Flicks

0
0

It’s hard to maintain control of a ton or two of metal while cruising down the highway. Now imagine that hefty beast with a steering wheel taking on a life all its own. Sounds even more terrifying, right? Well, it is terrifying, and we’ve got a look at 10 films that will more than prove that to you. From old to new, here are the greatest killer car flicks in existence!

The Car

01. Christine
A tale of a possessed car that transforms one nerdy, introverted chap into a hatred fueled bag of bones, Christine was nothing short masterful. Some, in fact, may argue that this is John Carpenter’s final truly great film. While I do enjoy the bulk of Carpenter’s work, Christine is indeed a top three film (behind only The Thing and Halloween, with The Fog trailing not too far behind.

02. Duel
Duel can be classified as a thriller and no one will complain. But the idea of road rage gone epically far is a disturbing thing to contemplate. It’s also scary. This lengthy game of cat and mouse gradually escalates into very dark territory, and between Steven Spielberg’s tremendous direction and the award worthy performance from the perfectly cast Dennis Weaver, it’s hard to find anything but taut brilliance within the picture. Duel isn’t just a great pic, it’s one of the greatest made-for-television pieces history has produced.

03. The Hitcher
Again, cars aren’t necessarily the primary focus of this terrifyingly morbid character study. The story sees two youngsters on a long distance journey. They encounter a hitchhiker, but he’s not exactly a nice guy. In fact, he’s basically the reason this movie falls on this particular list, as he uses automobiles as one staggeringly brutal means of torture and murder. If you’ve skipped this classic, look into it – it’s a suprb film with a jaw-dropping performance from the amazing Rutger Hauer.

04. Maximum Overdrive
Stephen King never directed a second film after his directorial debut, Maximum Overdrive, and that might have been a mistake. We all know King has a dense hatred for this film, but the truth is Maximum Overdrive succeeds in one of the most important realms: it’s a blast of a film. It may feel a little rough around the edges, but it is thoroughly entertaining, and it does warrant a view from anyone who a) loves killer car flicks and b) loves the work of Stephen King.

05. Jeepers Creepers
Okay, so this is a little bit of a cheat. Jeepers Creepers isn’t about a killer car. Rather, it’s about an ancient monster who feeds on human beings every 23 years. But the kicker is, he spends most of his time tracking his prey while riding in that mammoth tank so well fortified it could probably withstand a trek into a heated warzone. Yes, the Creepers truck is extremely important to the film, as Victor Salva turned that imposing vehicle into a character all its own.

06. Death Proof
Many will tell you that Death Proof isn’t a horror film. Don’t be afraid to tell them to fuck off, because this is definitely a horror film. Sure, it’s got a deep drama-driven narrative, but once Stuntman Mike decides carnage is on the menu the film shifts gears and powers toward something bleak, bloody and revenge soaked. There are some amazing moments in the film, and they aren’t all centered on Mike’s gorgeous ’70 Nova – or later his ’69 Charger – some of those moments are birthed by incredibly chilling character decisions. Did I mention that this one features the greatest car chase scene since Vanishing Point.

07. Joy Ride
Technically more of a psychopath flick than anything else, the primary tool used to generate damage in John Dahl’s awesome Joy Ride is a creepy big rig… driven by an even creepier truck driver. The story drops viewers on the road in a perilous situation after antagonizing a faceless trucker via CB radio. The tension builds quickly, and as that tension builds the truck truly does begin to take on a life all its own. Although Joy Ride has plenty of fans, it can still easily be considered an underrated picture.

08. The Hearse
Call me old school. Call me generous in praise. Just don’t call me dead, or this hearse may end up aligning its sights on me, and I’m just not ready to go quite yet. In all honesty, The Hearse is a little light on action, but what it lacks in that department it more than makes up for in dread-filled atmosphere. If you’re going to spot a killer car flick that essentially morphs into – or at least juggles concepts – an effective ghost story, you simply cannot bypass George Bowers’ 1980 offering, The Hearse.

09. Road Kill
Road Kill isn’t the most refined film on this list, but it does make a valiant attempt at breaking the mold. A small handful of friends on a road trip (sounds familiar so far!) run into trouble when a rig does everything in its power to run these youngsters off the road. But once they resolve that on-road crisis, they quickly find themselves facing entirely new challenges, like that truck for example… that truck that sure seems to have a mind all its own.

10. The Car
James Brolin fronts this sometimes creepy, sometimes hokey story of a car that just can’t get enough of human hunting. Although the film hasn’t aged all too well there is a noticeable charm to appreciate, and the night shots, which often feel a bit too dark, add an atypical eeriness to the production. The Car is from what I’d deem a masterpiece, but alone at night, no lights on – there’s a chill that creeps from the screen, and we desensitized viewers should find a little reward in that.

Nightwatchmen, The (2017)

0
0

Starring Kevin Jiggetts, Kara Luiz, Max Gray Wilbur

Directed by Mitchell Altieri


What would the world be without clowns to keep us happy? Now while some of you might find that question to be a bit sarcastic and disturbing, some of the hardcore horror fans would certainly agree that we need clowns, strictly for subject matter – now how about I ramp it up a bit: how about vampire clowns? Piquing your interest yet? If so, allow to me to introduce this little gem from director Mitchell Altieri called The Nightwatchmen, and if I may be so inclined, please let me say that aside from some discernible goofiness strewn about this flick, I’ll say that it’s already one of my favorites in this short little spell we call 2017.

The movie opens up with the saddening news that Blimpo the Clown (apparently a national treasure), has passed away due to a mysterious illness while overseas in Romania (wonder what could have done the ol’ jester in). So, his body is shipped back to the states, and a couple of bumbling delivery dopes drop him off at a Baltimore newspaper building, where a “deal” is struck to watch the body overnight, and he’ll be safely transported to the funeral home in the morning. Sounds like a simple task, doesn’t it? Well, you haven’t seen the security responsible for the safety of this particular building – consisting of an ex-soldier (Ken Arnold), his disgruntled co-officer (Jiggetts) and an Italian hothead with a cold stare (Dan DeLuca) – added to which is the newest employee (Wilbur) on his first overnight shift: now known as “Rajeeve” thanks to a deceased co-worker’s uniform. He’s briefed on the duties encompassed within, such as “watch this camera, play some cards” – you know, the path of least-resistance kind of stuff. Anyhow, it’s not before long that ol’ dead Blimpo hops up out of his wooden casket and takes on his new fangtastic lifestyle, dispatching workers in the building and turning them into stark-raving bloodsuckers, and it’s up to our bumbling squad of rent-a-cops to try to save the day – large leap, indeed.

Aiding the cause is a tabloid journalist (Luiz), who’s not afraid to get her hands bloody, and the cameo list is a fun one as well: James Remar (The Warriors) holds his own as a sleazy supervisor, and the fellas will get treated to a double-dose of femme fatale fineness with the inclusion of Tiffany Shepis and Sarah French as a couple of unlucky office-workers. Both ladies could shine up a pic in a heartbeat, and it’s well worth the price of admission to see them work their magic. Attention all gorehounds: we’ve got a sale on an overabundance of arterial sprays and crimson douchings here as well – these vampires make a friggin mess when they’re sent back to hell (and they leave a heck of a stench too). Humor as you’d expect it, can be a bit campy, but it’s got its place, and I found myself laughing out loud at more than one instance within the film’s runtime. Overall, I can absolutely recommend The Nightwatchmen to an audience looking for a fun, comedy-ridden gorefest when it becomes available to the public, and damn, we’re already just a week into 2017 and I’ve found at least a couple of movies that have made me smile from ear to ear – let’s keep this trend going!

Recordings From Another Dimension In The Gasp Menagerie

What are ghosts?  I mean, we can entertain arguments that there are no such things as ghosts, then we can get serious and get to the real question: people clearly experience something, so what is it?  You can say they aren’t spirits of the dead, that’s rational.  You can say they aren’t beings from beyond our reality.  But people throughout history in every culture on earth have seen, heard, felt…experienced something, over and over, since we were still banging rocks together trying to get fire started.

One of the more modern and scientific theories behind the phenomena we lump together and call “ghosts” is that what we experience isn’t from beyond the grave, but rather from a dimension next door to ours.  The infinite universe theory is extremely popular these days, and is even the foundation of many popular forms of entertainment, from Rick & Morty to the comic book universes of the big two publishers.  Scientists like Neil Degrasse Tyson speak of the “cosmic view” that is basically a new religion, seeing our lives in the perspective of an endless cosmos that is likely one of an infinite number of universes.

This leads us into some evidence provided by reader Arturo Portillo, a filmmaker and paranormal researcher.  He was part of a team investigating a location in the historic part of Las Cruces, New Mexico.  The restaurant, The Double Eagle, was empty at the time.  I’ll let Arturo take it from there:

We began to set up at 11pm when the restaurant closed. Throughout our set up and investigation, what sounded like voices were coming through, and not just on the recorders; we actually heard it with our own ears. We looked around the kitchen area, because it seemed like it was coming from there. There is a point in our investigation where we went to get some burgers and closed up the restaurant. It was during this time that we captured the EVP in it’s cleanest form without us interfering with it.

We used a Rode shotgun mic attached to a Zoom H1 Recorder. What happened was that a strange tone came on, then followed a garbled sound that lasted for over a minute. This was the sound that we were hearing throughout our investigation. I had to use Pro Tools to amplify and remove the noise so that we can fully hear the voice, clarity and cleaned.

The EVP we captured were two men arguing with each other. We even got their names. These voice would come through every 15 or 20 minutes throughout our investigation and each one, the men were arguing, but saying something different. There is a point in the EVP where we are asking questions because we heard voices, then the EVP men begin shooshing each other and saying that they hear something. I think we broke the plane or some dimension. I wouldn’t say we captured a ghost but really, we captured another dimension.

Here’s the video that Arturo provided with captions suggesting what he hears in the dialogue.

As you can see, it doesn’t really sound like anything you’d relate to the spirits of the dead. It sounds like an argument between two guys.  Considering there was absolutely nobody anywhere near the building at the time of the recording, we can rule out picking up an actual argument outside or next door.

Stephen King introduced the concept of “thinnies” to describe places where different universes/timelines got close to ours and could allow sounds or even matter to pass between them.  That’s based on quite a lot of lore from various cultures in history, it’s not a concept he created for the sake of his fiction.  He also uses the multiverse theory as the foundation of most of his fiction, at least all of it relating to the Dark Tower and Midworld.

Can we pick up events happening in dimensions near ours, but separate? Is this a recording of two men on the other side of whatever matter makes up the universe, in another timeline/dimension, having a drunken argument in another version of this restaurant?  Could it be a recording from another time, with the voices coming from our past rather than another dimension entirely?

Bye Bye Man, The (2017)

0
0

Bye Bye ManStarring Douglas Smith, Cressida Bonas, Lucien Laviscount, Jenna Kannell, Doug Jones, Carrie-Ann Moss, Faye Dunaway

Directed by Stacy Title


Gadzooks! Where to even begin? I’m so torn on this hokey hodgepodge of horror ideas. It’s like a tale of two movies. The first half is an annoying retread of damn near every horror movie cliché of the past five or so years, complete with all the prerequisite cheap jump scares masquerading as actual suspense. Then there’s the second half, where it actually starts to go someplace interesting, only to completely derail into silliness during the overwrought/poorly thought-out third act.

At times I was bored. At times I was rolling my eyes. At times I was intrigued. At times I was laughing unintentionally. The one thing I never was: scared.

If reports I’ve read are correct, The Bye Bye Man has been delayed for some time, during which it was trimmed down from an R to a PG-13. It did feel like the movie was tripping over itself to avoid getting gory in scenes that sure seemed like they were intended to be gruesome (bloodless point blank range shotgun blasts), and early on there’s indication that something creepy happened during a sex scene that was not included in the final cut. Trimming this down to PG-13 actually makes sense since I have a hard time imagining too many people over the age of 13 being scared by any of this hokum.

Who or what the Bye Bye Man is, his origins, the significance of the train, his coins, or the big skinless dog that accompanies him: all of it is practically irrelevant to the plot. The Bye Bye Man is merely a boogeyman with a series of gimmicks in desperate need of a purpose. Once you’ve said “Bye Bye Man,” he gets in your head; and anyone who hears, says, or writes down the name becomes a potential victim that he begins screwing with via a series of hallucinations, lost time, and loud noise jump scares. Muttering “don’t say it, don’t think it” is a technique to ward him off that proves not particularly effective since that, too, is more gimmick than purposeful. You would think his ultimate goal would be to trick or terrorize his intendeds in order to spread his name like a supernatural virus to as many people as possible; that doesn’t appear to enter his head until the very end.

Even when Bye Bye Man does make his physical presence known, looking like the cloaked lovechild of Mason Verger and Voldemort, he actually doesn’t do much of anything other than stand there menacingly pointing or wagging – yes, wagging – his bony finger at you. As if the movie was Bye Bye Man competing on a TV game show called “America’s Next Top Boogeyman,” I kept waiting for top judge Bagul to go all Simon Cowell for stealing his shtick as this week’s special guest judge The Babadook furiously mashes the X button out of existence.

Given how he comes into being, it’s entirely possible Bye Bye Man might be related to The Grither from that holiday-themed episode of “Tales from the Darkside.” If you see this movie and have seen that episode, then you’ll know exactly what I’m getting at.

Things open up promisingly enough in 1969 as an average Joe runs around a neighborhood with a shotgun demanding to know who has told the name Bye Bye Man to someone else before killing them to prevent the evil from further spreading. There will be more flashbacks to this event later on. Given how much more effectively staged and performed this backstory is to the modern stuff built around the stereotypical assortment of photogenic millennials contending with the usual boogedy boogedy tropes, I would have preferred it if the entire film had been about the 1969 events. Then again, a horror movie about a writer experiencing lethal supernatural madness brought about by a sinister figure while investigating a true crime case already exists. I don’t have to tell you it was called Sinister. Told you Bagul would be upset with Bye Bye Man stealing his shtick.

College student Elliot (Douglas Smith, Dane DeHaan-ing the shit out of his performance) has just moved into an off-campus house with the love of his life, Sasha (Cressida Bonas, whose every line sounds like she’s zonked out on cold medicine, fitting since she may be the first horror movie victim in history whose primary affliction is evil has given her a bad cold – not joking), and his best friend, John (Lucien Laviscount, who I suspect has a heck of a career ahead of him whenever producers want but cannot get Michael B. Jordan). Sasha and John appear a little too chummy, leading to Elliot’s increasingly homicidal state as he suffers jealous delusions brought on by “He Who Cannot Be Named” and his faithful demon dog companion, “Cenobite Beethoven.”
In all seriousness, I loved the idea of a supernatural psycho with a paranormal pet. I wanted less Bye Bye Man and more of his hound of hell eating the bodies of his victims. I want that dog to have its own spin-off movie, and I want the title of that movie to be Beethoven’s 666th.

Immediately, like within mere moments of moving into this house, they experience creepy noises, doors that thunderously slam on their own, and other assorted clichés you’ve seen a million times before. They discover an old nightstand with “Bye Bye Man” scribbled in it, and that’s when their luck really begins to run out. Luckily, they have a friend who claims to be psychic, so, you guessed it – they decide to hold a séance. Now the Sinister meets The Ring meets Final Destination meets The Shining meets A Nightmare on Elm Street meets Insert Supernatural Horror Movie Title Here and You’d Probably Be Right kicks into full swing as characters go mental/commit murders/get killed because of how Bye Bye Man messes with their minds. You can pretty much guess where this one is headed fairly early on and not just because you’ve seen all those other horror movies I listed.

Carrie-Ann Moss doesn’t make her presence known until nearly the hour mark in the totally thankless role of the cop grilling Elliot after she suspects he’s behind the deaths. Her character should have been named “Detective Thankless.”

Then it’s Faye Dunaway’s turn to cash a check with her cameo as the wife of the 1969 reporter/killer Elliot seeks out for further flashbacks. Something happens to her towards the end of their scene that’s meant to be horrific but was actually so inexplicable and cheesy it made me laugh out loud. That pretty much set the tone for the remainder of the film.

We are talking about a movie where Elliot realizes he has to erase anything pertaining to the Bye Bye Man’s name, and that means doing away with that nightstand. Obviously, he destroys it, right? Wrong! He simply carries it out of the house and chucks it into the woods out back. He doesn’t burn it or chop it up or anything else that would actually make it impossible to ever open the drawer and see what’s written.

That’s a perfect example of so many aspects of The Bye Bye Man that are off-kilter. Like you can tell everyone in front of and behind the camera are trying really hard to make it work, almost succeeding if not for performances, writing, and directing being just wonky enough to make it not work the way they intended while still being somewhat entertaining in a schlocky b-movie sort of way. I hate that I even have to assign a star rating to this because how does one score “this movie sucks, but there’s stuff I enjoyed yet at the same time I didn’t, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t.

We are talking about a movie where during what is supposed to be a moment of high terror, the Bye Bye Man pokes a guy’s forehead with his finger, and they cut to a doorbell ringing.

Eibon Press presents Lucio Fulci’s Gates of Hell trilogy in comic book form on FEBRUARY 10!

0
0

The debut of last year’s comic series based on the classic Lucio Fulci film Zombie rocked our fucking worlds, and Eibon Press has quickly become a force to be reckoned with in the indie publishing arena.  Producing extremely high-quality comics in very limited runs, packaged in special album sleeve jackets with all sorts of extras like stickers and bookmarks and brochures, Eibon is the new high-water mark of quality and collectibility.  And of course there have  never been movie adaptation comics quite like this, either.  We here at Dread support these guys 100 percent.  In fact, when I first met Eibon co-founder Stephen Romano and “Gates of Hell” artist Derek Rook, it was more than 16 years ago, and they had just started this project.  I thought they were true horror heroes then, and it’s just as true today.  Only what they are doing today is even better.  These boys never lost sight of ‘the prize’ and have have really come into their own, making some of the best horror comics we’ve ever seen.  If not THE best.

This tradition continues with “The Saga of the 7 Gates.”

Yes, you read that right.  Eibon Press has officially licensed all three of Lucio Fulci’s most famous horror films, City of the Living Dead (The Gates of Hell), The Beyond and House by the Cemetery, and they are being combined into an epic series unlike any other in the history of horror movie comics.  “The Saga of the 7 Gates” re-tells the famous stories of each film, while re-inventing them into an “extended comic book  universe,” which suggests (as many fans have often speculated) that these three legendary films may all part of the same terrifying timeline.  Expanding on the characters and themes of Fulci’s films, Romano has adapted each movie into its own three-issue series, with a fourth sequel series entitled ESCAPE FROMTHE BEYOND to follow, making it an epic 13 part “quadrilogy.”  Hot fucking damn, huh?

The first 3-issue series begins on FEBRUARY 10, when “Lucio Fulci’s Gates Of Hell” #1 becomes available for pre order at eibonpress.com!

As I mentioned, this has been  project over 16 years on the making, and the first issue of “Gates” is a true labor of love, created by fans, for fans.  Page for page, it is the highest quality issue yet produced by Eibon Press.  And you’ll see the film re-invented as you’ve never seen it before.  “There once was a time when movie novelizations and comic books based on films made a more linear sense,” says Eibon co-founder Shawn Lewis.  “Back in the 70s and early 80s, you couldn’t see these films but a few times in theaters–or with Fulci films practically at all.  So if there was a comic book or a novel, you could read that and re-live the plot word for word.   It was a way to own the movie.  Well, now, if you wanna own the movie, you can own the fucking movie.  So with the Eibon Fulci Comics stuff, we’re looking at these things in a different way.  We’re seeing how we can re-invent these stories into a new medium and add that extra touch.  With “The Saga of the Seven Gates,” we have this incredible opportunity to bring these films together like never before.  Over the past 16 years, people have started to regard Gates, Beyond and House as a sort of “unofficial trilogy.”  It gets screened all the time as The Gates of Hell Trilogy or whatever.  So the fans have come to own these movies in a way, with their own view of what they are.  And we think that’s the best way to come at these comics.  It’s an approach Fulci himself would have really loved.  The idea that his art has been handed over to the people who love it most, who are now re-inventing it and finding all these hidden meanings.”

“Lucio Fulci’s Gates Of Hell” is a sort of remake of the classic film, which hits all the beats and a lot of the classic dialogue you know and love, but in a wild new style and with new mysteries and intentions.  The art by Derek Rook invokes the gritty tone of Fulci’s film, while the script by  Stephen Romano expands the story.   “I’ve been a fan of Fulci all my life,” Romano says.  “And “7 Gates” is the ultimate Fulci tribute project.  Derek Rook spent literally 10 years doing his artwork for this bad bastard and you can really tell.  The love for the medium and for this film just oozes off every page.  He’s just done an extraordinary job.  It’s even better than our “Zombie” series in its own twisted way. For example, in the first issue of “Gates,” we have the infamous scene where Catriona Macoll as Mary Woodhouse is buried alive and Christipher George as Peter Bell has to hack her out of the coffin with a pick-axe.  Derek was able to re-invent that scene with a lot of reverence to the film and the style just reeks of 1980s Italian horror film sleaze, but steeped in the same subtle/not-so-subtle genius Fulci always brought to these things.  And it’s all bookended by an expansion of what’s in that movie and a re-imagining of certain themes that help it become it’s own weird animal. We think fans will really love this.”

 

“Each of the films in the Fulci’s Gates of Hell trilogy have their own flagship bad guy characters.  The Beyond has the wierdo zombie painter Scwhiek, House by the Cemetery has, of course, the infamous Dr. Freudstien.  And Gates of Hell has Father Thomas, the insane priest who hangs himself in a  graveyard to raise some hell.  We’ve re-invented him as a Deacon and he’s an even wilder, stranger character.  Since he’s so quiet in the movies, I thought it would be fun to have him communicate with the reader in other ways, and we even sewed his fucking lips together!  That’s a visual that helps us to preserve the vision of Fulci, while using the comics medium to the creepiest, most visceral effect.”

“Lucio Fulci’s Gates Of Hell” #1 hits the public on Friday, February 10 at 7pm.  That’s when pre-orders for the first issue begin.  And keep an eye on Eibon’s well-travelled social feeds for daily news and updates.  The first ish of “Gates” will undoubtably  sell out fast, as did the first issue of “Zombie,” so be there early to get yours!  We’ve already seen this ‘bad bastard’ and we can personally guarantee that your collective horror dicks will be blasted right into the dirt.  It’s just nasty, nasty stuff and we’re proud to support it with every last ounce of raging fan appreciation we can muster!

BE THERE ON FEBRUARY 10!!!

Portal Popperz Pops Onto Kickstarter

We’ve been going nuts over Jerry Macaluso’s upcoming monster movie Portal Popperz, which has now finally launched on Kickstarter.

From the Press Release:
PORTAL POPPERZ is a 1980s-style creature feature in the spirit of films like Gremlins, that expertly balanced their laughs with screams.

An augmented reality game called Portal Popperz has become a cultural phenomenon, and it seems like everyone has their eyes glued to their smartphones trying to catch the digital creatures. But when a motley crew of misfits discover the Popperz are spawning in the real world, it’s up to our unlikely heroes to halt their path of destruction.

Directed by special effects artist and toy designer, Jerry Macaluso, Portal Popperz will focus on traditional practical effects, puppets and good old-fashioned rubber monster suits.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Bringing the Epic to the Nintendo Switch

Nintendo got a lot of shit for their official unveiling of the Switch back in October, because the announcement trailer briefly showed The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim being played on the system, despite the fact that Bethesda wouldn’t confirm if the game was coming to the Switch. It seemed that Nintendo were leading us up the garden path.

Well, it turns out that they were actually being honest with us, because during last night’s Nintendo Switch Presentation, it was confirmed that Skyrim will indeed be released on their seventh main console. Which is pretty impressive, as Bethesda have only released three other games on Nintendo systems throughout their 31 year history. I sure hope that this won’t be the last.

Skyrim’s director Todd Howard appeared in the video below to discuss the Switch version. It’s kind of unfathomable to think that we’re getting a handheld version (the Switch is both a handheld/home console hybrid) of a game of such sheer size and scope that back in the day it was pushing both the PS3 and Xbox 360 hardware to their limits.

And yes, Skyrim is five years old, and yes, most recent third-party games will likely not run on the Switch because, although we don’t yet know it’s full specifications, it’s said to be far behind both the PS4 and Xbox one in terms of horsepower. But if any half decade old game can sell a system, it’s Skyrim.

Sundance 2017: Get a Sneak Peek of Horror-Comedy Series Snatchers

As we told you at the end of last year, the new eight-episode teen horror-comedy series “Snatchers” is having its World Premiere at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival in the Midnight Episodic Showcase, and today we have a clip and a few more stills to share.

“Snatchers,” a high school adventure story about friendship, self-worth, and aliens, was created and written by Stephen Cedars, Benji Kleiman, and Scott Yacyshy, an exciting new team of genre filmmakers.

The directors are Cedars and Kleiman, and the series stars Mary Nepi, Gabrielle Elyse, Austin Fryberger, J.J. Nolan, Nick Gomez, and Rich Fulcher. Eric Fisher, Scott Hinckley, and Elli Legerski produced.

Synopsis:
Sara is one of the cool kids: She’s got the right friends, makes the right jokes… and is totally terrified of losing her status. She’d be a lot more secure if she could just win back her super-hot ex, Skyler. But he’s not interested unless they move to the next level. Sara decides to take the plunge but soon discovers Skyler isn’t just horny like a normal teenage boy. Something changed on his summer trip to Mexico. Something in his nards.

When Sara wakes up the next morning nine months pregnant, she goes to the only person she can trust: her nerdy ex-best friend, Hayley. After a trip to the clinic turns horrific, Sara and Hayley realize this alien problem is only just beginning. Over the course of the night, Sara deals with her deadbeat baby daddy, a disapproving mom, and judgmental friends. Ultimately, this is a story of a girl finding self-worth and learning to accept her choices… by killing aliens.

Here’s the Sundance screening info. Creators Cedars, Kleiman, and Yacyshyn and actors Nepi and Elyse will be in attendance at the premiere. For more info visit the Sundance website.

Saturday, January 21 @ 11:30 PM – Prospector Square Theatre – WORLD PREMIERE

To say we’re excited about the return of “Twin Peaks” would be an understatement, and the wait until May is going to be excruciating.  But to help ease the pain a bit, Showtime has unveiled a new promo video featuring series star Kyle McLachlan as FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper.
