Night of the Zombies (aka Hell of the Living Dead)

[DVD#198]

  • Rating [unrated]

  • Released by [Cydonia Pictures]

  • Duration [88 minutes]

  • Presentation [Widescreen]

  • ©1981/2002

    [Note: Directed by Bruno Mattei. This Italian film has been whored out under many names and faces. It can be very confusing. Many of the directors and actors of the genre used pseudonyms. To add to the confusion, different regions had different names for the same movie. And as new fads entered the genre sometimes the movie descriptions themselves were even rewritten! Marketing is an evil, lying beast indeed. See below.]

  • Released by [Magnolia Home Entertainment]

  • Duration [115 minutes]

  • Presentation [Widescreen]

    [Note: Directed by Tomas Alfredson. This Swedish film is very well-done and unique. The premise of a child vampire worked very well. Great acting, realistic gore and an overall strange atmosphere make this a great film.]

    Let Me In

    [DVD#203b]

  • Rating [R]

  • Released by [Hammer Films]

  • Duration [115 minutes]

  • Presentation [Widescreen]

  • ©2011

    [Note: Directed by Matt Reeves. Many movie remakes suck, so I was pleasantly surprised when this was actually good. I'm not sure why it needed to be remade, since the original Swedish version was just released two years earlier in 2009, but I'm not complaining, I enjoyed it. It's a unique film, and the director did a hell of a job.]

    Grimm Love

    [DVD#204]

  • Rating [R]

  • Released by [Phase 4 Films]

  • Duration [85 minutes]

  • Presentation [Widescreen]

  • ©2010

    [Note: Directed by Martin Weisz. The craziest thing about this movie is the story it is based upon. Basically one person posts a message wanting to be eaten alive. Another person wants to eat someone. True love. Internet + humanity = some truly disturbing stuff. This movie starts out slow, but gets better as dinner time grows near...! HA! Oh, and did I mention the one who wants to be eaten had one small request? It was that the other first bite off his penis, cook it and serve it to him!]
