31 Days of Horror Movie 04

Zombie Christ
2011
Stream

This is one of the more recent films from the prolific director Bill Zebub. Some druids bring Christ back to life. He is this jacked up skeleton. He goes around attacking faux-Suicide Girl looking women. A woman and this older man team up to stop Zombie Christ. The film is basically an excuse to show lots of naked women. Most of the women are really attractive. A few of them are way too thin. But at least 75% of them are pretty hot.

If you have never seen a Bill Zebub film, this is a good one to start with. It is jammed packed with good looking women, lots of comedy and just absurd situations. Like when Zombie Christ rapes a nun with a chicken leg. I doubt the film had a budget bigger than $1000. And it shows. But still if you like low budget horror this is worth watching.

I recently did a long indepth review of this film on my podcast.

31 Days of Horror Movie 03

From a Whisper to a Scream
1987
TGG Direct DVD

This is one of the great Vincent Price's last films. I had heard of it for years. I think I might have even owned a VHS of it before. But don't remember ever watching it. Grabbed a DVD with this and Theater of Blood for $5 a few days back.

We get 4 stories in this anthology film. The framing device is a historian telling the stories about the town to a reporter. Out of the four stories only the one about so Civil war soldiers being held by a houseful of orphans appealed to me.

Mr Price plays the story teller. And he is the highlight of this pretty subpar film. Directed and produced by Jeff Burr, From a whisper to a scream is the second film Jeff made. I have found Burr to be an under-rated director. With his Leatherface TCM III being a great film.

From a whisper to a Scream gets a D+. And that is only for Vincent Price. Who can make even the most dreadful film somewhat watchable.

31 Day of Horror Movie 02

Tucker & Dale VS Evil
2010
Magnet DVD

I heard all the hype about this film 3 years ago. So rented it from Netflix and loved it. Yesterday found it for $5 and had to buy it.

Tucker and Dale are just two country guys. Who have finally go themselves a cabin way out in the woods. They go up there for a nice relaxing weekend of fixing up the cabin and some fishing. They see this young blonde college girl get hurt. So they grab her out of the lake and take her back to the cabin to help her.

Her friends see this and assume since Tucker and Dale are country folk they are going to do horrible things to her. The rest of the film is her friends trying to come "save" her and then dying in horrible but very funny ways.

I like how the film flipped the typical southern/country folk stereotypes around. Tucker and Dale have great comedic timing. Plus it just feels like they are life long friends.

Tucker and Dale vs Evil gets an A.

31 days of Horror Movie 01

Fido
2006
Lionsgate DVD

First heard about this film in 2007. But didn't find a copy for rent until 2008. Set in what appears to be the 50s or 60s, it is a world where zombies are all over. But a company has built huge fences to keep the zombies out. Plus they have invented collars that when placed on a zombie prevent it from attacking anyone. So lots of people have zombies as butlers,maids,etc.

A young boy ends up finding a zombie in the park and gets a collar for him. He names to zombie Fido and they become best friends. The mom has always wanted a zombie. But the father has never wanted one.

What we get is a fun zombie comedy. Billy Connelly stars as Fido. And is great. He never speaks but shows so much emotion with his facials and body language. Carrie Anne Moss is the mom. And she is much better in this than she was in those horrible Matrix films.

Fido gets a B.
