A veritable gore-fest!
927520
A global epidemic has nightmarish consequences.
A sleeping virus (SB-16) has affected 80% of the worlds population, turning humans comatose and pet dogs into rabid zombies that exist only to tear people limb from limb.
Calloway Foster has a decision to make, torn between concentrating on keeping his family safe, or recklessly searching for his twin brother.
Not for the faint-hearted, the story is fast-paced and a veritable gore-fest from the outset. Author Ellie Douglas doesnt stint on the bone-crunching, flesh-ripping imagery and the carnage she creates is off the scale! The streets are littered with dead dogs and mutilated human corpses; cities are in the grip of anarchy and lynch mobs become the new order.
But, despite introducing us to this hellish Armageddon, Douglas also writes with a mischievousness that I found appealing. It was impossible not to root for the main protagonists as they battled through the havoc, their playful banter the perfect foil to the jeopardy surrounding them.
The book is left open-ended, amping up the anticipation in readiness for the sequel, which promises to be every bit as bloodthirsty!

So, you're a dessicated vampire (that's gone without blood for years, and has been in a kind of stasis) that comes to in the middle of an abandoned theatre with zombies nomming on, well, everything living. What do you do? You need to get blood, right? Our vamp, Coburn, attempts to do just that, but when he bites into one of the zombies, he quickly realizes that zombie blood is bad for his health. Well then, it's time to find some of the living, yes?

After heading outside and realizing that the world has pretty much gone to hell, and tangling with some of the living dead, he comes across a group of survivors. Food! Not so fast. Key among this group is a 15 year old girl named Kayla, who's not about to have Coburn feeding off her father and her friends, so she strikes an unlikely deal with the vampire. Coburn protects the group from cannibals (we'll get to that), and other baddies, and they'll make sure he gets to feed. Sounds pretty straightforward, right? Yeah, not so much...

Coburn the vampire is a foul mouthed, hedonistic, arrogant, self-centered son of a bitch, and he knows this, so how the hell he let this kid talk him into this deal, he's not sure, but he is hungry, and he could use a place to crash, so he hops on board the RV that our little ragtag group has commandeered. What follows is a pretty wild ride through a destroyed American landscape populated with things much, much worse than the walking dead.

Double Dead is a terrifying, violent, American road trip through zombie hell. Wendig throws in a cannibalistic group that brings to mind something right out of Rob Zombie's worst nightmares, zombies out the wazoo (of course), a military compound taken over by trigger happy yahoos dressed like clowns (I kept picturing Killer Clowns From Outer Space), and some hybrid creatures that will make the little hairs on the back of your neck stand up. The author spares no gruesome detail, but lest the word "gratuitous" start floating around in your mind, it's really...not. The gore is necessary to the story and it's tempered with a fair amount of black humor. Aside from the flying body parts and decapitations, it has probably one of the grossest (yet creative) vampire feeding scenes that I think I've ever read (seriously, *shudder*.) Double Dead made me laugh and cringe in equal measure, and I couldn't put it down. It's not for the faint of heart, but it does have heart. Yep, this gritty, gross, blood drenched vamp/zombie fest has a heart. I certainly didn't expect to develop a certain amount of grudging affection for Coburn (and his little dog Creampuff), but I did! There's also something special about our Kayla, but I'm not going to give away that secret. It's just part of the awesome that is this book.

The author credits Robert McCammon (one of my all-time fave authors) at the end of the book as inspiration, and I can certainly see shades of Swan Song in Double Dead. Amongst the horror, there are themes of loyalty, redemption, and even love that the author manages to weave in with an expert hand. Chuck Wendig has one sick, twisted imagination, but in his case, it's a talent, and he poured that talent into this kick ass vampire/zombie apocalypse tale. Crisp writing, bullet fast pacing, and twists that I didn't see coming make this one a can't-miss for horror/zombie fans. The damn thing even made me cry. Seriously. If you're in the mood for something a little different, a little sick (ok, maybe more than a little), a little funny, and a lot awesome, pick up Double Dead, and get your freak on, yeah?

Home invasion horror pits a very pregnant gal against a psycho b*tch bent on performing some cesarean action with a big pair of scissors.
Unflinchingly violent, jaw-droppingly gory and beyond nerve-wracking.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Inside-Unrated/dp/B00125WATQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Inside (Unrated)</a>

DEATH MACHINE is awesome! Sort of a hideous amalgamation of movies like ALIENS, THE TERMINATOR, ROBOCOP, CHOPPING MALL, etc. DM is far better than most sci-fi / horror films of it's type. Brad Dourif is completely gone as Jack Dante, mad scientist and all around sludgeball. He is allowed to run rampant, working for the CHAANK CORPORATION, supposedly building a cutting edge super-soldier. Well, being the total nut that he is, Dante creates a fear-sensing, mechanical nightmare that can not only crash through walls, but is faster than a hyper-active cheetah! The "Warbeast" is under Dante's control and begins tearing his corporate enemies into bacon almost immediately! It's up to Hayden Cale (Ely Pouget) and a small band of survivors to try and outwit this hulking, lightning-fast shredding machine before it mulches them! Yessiree, DM is an intense, hilariously frantic movie, packed w/ over-the-top excitement and some chills. Watch for the machine-gun blasts that go on for minutes at a time! I'm still vibrating! Buy immediately...

Oh the zombies outside are frightful in this well done slasher horror film from Sweden. Standard slasher rules apply: group of 20 something students go to remote cabin, creepy local tells them about a horrible moment in the history of the place, and before you know it, it's undead bingo hour! There's Nazis! Zombies! Nazi Zombies! Spewing intestines! A brain on the floor! And MORE zombie Nazis!

How the Nazis became zombies is never related to you, but who cares? You've got terrified screaming students racing through the snow as jackbooted corpses chase them! You have a menacing Commandant who looks like he still gets to the Undead-Gym three nights a week! You get an outrageous two-on-thousands men vs zombie battle, complete with chainsaw! And a killer snowmobile! All in 90 minutes.

Really, what is not to love here? "Dead Snow" is bloody, trashy fun, even if you can predict what's coming from a mile away.

The Wicked is an entertaining popcorn film! It's no Citizen Kane and it's not suppose to be taken seriously. The movie itself is a high octane of vengeance, violence, gore and an on going feud between Templar Knights and Satanists in a modern day world!  Its definitely more played off like a comic book, filled with cool visuals, sword fights, gun fights and over the top violence! Not to mention baby's being impaled through the wall and a homicidal abortion, which gives the feeling of something straight out of a Japanese anime! The special effects and acting can be a little hammy at times, but that's what gives this film it's charm. Definitely worth taking a look.

How could they put this directly to video! It's so much better than the studio garbage that makes it to the multi-plex. If you love fast, fun, gripping, ultra-violent horror (see Evil-Dead, Re-Animator, etc.) you'll love this! Forget Texas Chainsaw Remakes and what-not! This is what low-brow splatter enthusis live for! Get it. Enjoy! Only issue, Jason Mews bites it early on, a real shame!

Director Breck Eisner has taken the concept of George A. Romero's original movie, and produced a contemporary version of The Crazies that feels like the worst parts of Outbreak and 28 Days Later combined.  Better in every single way, terrifying at every turn, this is a nail-biter, an updated horror film that does not disappoint.

When a quiet, elder gentleman interrupts a high school baseball game by walking into centerfield toting a shotgun, the town of Ogden Marsh, Iowa is irrevocably changed.  With residents suddenly plagued by a mysterious sickness that turns them into psychopaths, the military springs into action, quarantining the entire town and attempting to stifle the outbreak by removing and immobilizing the sick.  Meanwhile, sheriff David Dutton (Olyphant), his wife (Mitchell), the town deputy, and one other fight for survival

Despite the fact that nothing is terribly original, the movie avoids being too predictable.  Scares jump off the screen from beginning to end, and the tone of the movie is believable enough to be ominous throughout.  Some of the scenarios in which the sick bound out after our heroes are completely unexpected.  The special effects are creative enough to add well to the thrust of the film without being Michael Bay level ostentatious.  The makeup and gore are top-notch as well, with blood, brain, and viscera splattering multiple times, accompanied by my approving applause.

Horror fans will love this movie, and I view it as redemption for an underwhelming predecessor.  I loved it from setup to explosive ending.  Be on the lookout for the pitchfork scene!  YIKES!

So anybody viewing this product already knows what they should expect. I mean, look at the DVD art... you're not going to get oscar-winning cinema here, but what you will get is some of the more violent, gory, gruesome and action-filled movies i have ever seen. We all know about&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Ichi-the-Killer-Unrated-Edition/dp/B0000CABGW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Ichi the Killer (Unrated Edition)</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Riki-Oh-The-Story-of-Ricky/dp/B00004TJM8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Riki-Oh - The Story of Ricky</a>&nbsp;and i think this could be lumped into the same category. Totally over the top action and violence to see how far the creators can go. So down to MACHINE GIRL specifically. Acting and overall plot were pretty good considering... A young girl's brother and his friend are killed by a gang of high-school aged yakuza and she seeks revenge, only to get her arm chopped off in the process. She finds herself at the parent's house of the other kid who was killed and they nurse her back to health. They also make her a gigantic machine gun arm just in time to have ninjas show up to make use of it. The father is killed and "Machine Girl" and the mother of the other dead boy basically go out to seek revenge on the rest of the family. EXTREME violence ensues throughout - holes blown in people's head, chests; decapitations; drill-bras; limbs chopped off; bodies cut into pieces,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Kill-Bill-Volume-1/dp/B00005JMEW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Kill Bill, Volume 1</a>&nbsp;style blood-sprays - the works. I was surprised to see that the special effects were for the most part top notch in the old-school manner. Most were all practical effects and all worked - even if they were a lil cheesy, i think it worked for the movie considering it was all that way. This will be a great movie to add to a gore-hound's collection, or those who are fond of grindhouse-revival cinema. I'm proud to add it to my collection (of over 850 titles) and can't wait to show it off to my friends who could stomach it... lol

Tomie one super hot love-love cutie. Tomie steal boyfriends from other girls. Other girls not like this. They write "Demon Girl" on Tomie's pictures. Boys see pictures, they go crazy and chop Tomie's head off. Bye bye, Tomie.
But Tomie CANNOT DIE. Tomie come back, kill everyone you know, and make you eat a bug. So THERE, girls who write nasty things on Tomie's pictures! And there is a twist ending! Very surprising! Also completely impossible to understand! Ah, so frightening!
More to the point, this odd, sadistic film drags on endlessly before finally reaching an inane and bloody conclusion that makes no sense whatsoever. I only recommend it to rabid fans of gore movies that make you feel icky and sleepy at the same time.

You can find this awesome little indie horror on R2 now!!! It's either that or a bootleg copy of this flick; I wouldn't pay high prices for a vhs copy unless I was into collecting horror on vhs like some horror buffs do.  'The Abomination' is about a young man living with his highly religious mom, who by the way coughs up a nasty parasite, thinks her son desperately needs saving from the devil haha.  This parasite loves to eat!!!  That's all I'm gonna say about this flick!  Just know that this is loaded with gore and that the ending is unexpected!!!  If you enjoyed how the creature looked in 'The Deadly Spawn', than you will enjoy this!!!  Oh, and one more thing, after I saw this horror flick, I had to go out and buy a pear of Ray Bans and grow a mullet haha!

Cannibal Holocaust is a *deeply* disturbing film.  In fact, what makes it even more disturbing is the fact that the theme song that opens the movie is one of the prettiest examples of melodic orchestration I've ever experienced.  Wow is it good!  It doesn't properly prepare viewers for the kind of horror they're about to witness.  Instead it's effectively misleading.

To my knowledge the deaths concerning the people in Cannibal Holocaust aren't real- but the ones involving animals *are*.  If I'm wrong about this please correct me.  Some are calling Cannibal Holocaust a mockumentary either based on what others are saying or maybe they simply don't want to believe the nature of a tribe (and the film crew, for that matter) can be as cruel and vicious as the ones portrayed here.  Well surprise surprise- they *are* that cruel!  It's how tribes survive.

If you have a weak stomach when it comes to watching animals die, DO NOT WATCH THIS!
If you dislike rape and think it's wrong, DO NOT WATCH THIS!
If you're easily offended by the sight of blood stains, meat butchering, and private parts being penetrated by objects occurring right before an eventual death, DO NOT WATCH THIS!

The killing of a turtle -while maybe fascinating in some morbid way since I've never actually seen the meat inside a turtles body- is quite disturbing.  Then again I've grown accustomed to watching deer butchered since I live with a family of hunters (and granted it does make me sick on occasion, if the meat smells).  Obviously the message "No animals were actually harmed during this films recording" isn't mentioned anywhere, and for good reason- I believe these animal deaths are 100% real.  Chopping off a monkey's head and pretending it's no big deal is really hard to watch, but the one that really bothers me is the baby pig shot to death in the sand.  Was too similar to a puppy for my liking.  I realize as a eat meater, I'm a bit on the hypocritical side since I don't have a problem eating meat, but I *certainly* have a problem watching animals die (especially when they die without any feeling or compassion like the ones in this film).

Anyway, the storyline- a group of Americans attempt to record a documentary about the ruthless and barbaric nature of tribal people.  However, this film crew steps out of line WAY too many times and pretty much deserves what eventually happens to them, in my opinion.  Unbelievable that any human being would actually think it's morally acceptable to act the way the ones in this movie do.  Rape, murder, sex, and... did they really think they could get away with it just because they're outdoors away from the society they grew up with?  The tribal people are actually respectable in comparison.

Of course my 3-star rating is based on two reasons.  One, there's several hard to watch moments concerning the subjects I mention above, and two, there's no actual storyline other than the film crew walking around filming the tribal people go about their daily lives while constantly pressing their luck.  Very selfish and immature to assume they can walk onto other peoples territory and be ignorant towards them without any concern for repercussions.

Anyway, for the sake of curiosity Cannibal Holocaust delivers, but for weak stomachs and those with strong morals?  Strongly recommended to skip it.

Ok, so I was expecting this game to have abundant amounts of gore... well it did, probably even more than I thought. Oh well, besides the graphic (almost laughable) amount of gore, this game totally rules. There's nothing more comical than a villager/zombie coming at you with a chainsaw shouting in German... it hilarious and downright horrifying at the same time. The graphics in this game are wonderful! As is the gameplay... I don't actually own a Wii, but my friend does, and we played this for 7 hours straight. The story is great, (however shallow) and the controls are very well designed. As far as content goes, the language is NOT heavy, but the violence is extreme and gory and not really healthy for children under 15 or so. As a Christian I felt this game was mostly pure ethically, (there's nothing sinful about blasting away zombies.) This game is strictly good against evil, meaning the good characters do not practice witchcraft, murder etc. Another redeeming element of the game is Leon's genuine concern for the president's daughter, this was a good element as it shows how a real hero should act.

Though it is not as bloody as your average slasher flick, "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" is about as scary as movie making gets.  Shot in a realistic visual style, it at times recalls the type of thrills provided by "The Blair Witch Project."  But while "Blair Witch" was more campy, this film is utterly brutal.  The plot is simple enough; Henry visits Chicago during what is obviously for him an ongoing travelog of serial murder.  He joins up with the slimy parolee Otis and his hard luck sister and quickly draws them in to his web of unremorseless murder.  There is one scene, in which Henry and Otis film themselves slaughtering a suburban family, that is as disturbing as anything I've witnessed in a movie.  For sheer horrific power, it is absolutely without peer.  Director John McNaughton is hip to the fact that blood and gore are not what makes a scene scary, but instead plausibility and tone.  For horror fans, it simply does not get any better than this, though those of a more sensitive nature may want to pass.

Of all zombie flicks, Return of the Living Dead 1 ties for first (along with Evil Dead, which is KINDA zombie-esqe).  From the moment the two baffled med-supply workers beat a reanimated split dog, you know you're in for one twisted flick.  The special effects are great, the acting is good, the storyline is super campy fun. Ravenous zombies with a penchance for BRRRRRRRRRRRRAINS! As far as pop culture monster movies go, only Lost Boys approaches this fun realm of punk-rock ghoulies (only THAT movie takes itself too seriously).  With a great soundtrack and a splendidly dark ending (gleefully over the top), this is one of my favorite movies ever... I am impatiently awaiting a wide-screen dvd release.

Okay, let's see... one of the reviewers wants their horror movies with "blood, gore, action and violence". Okay, let's break that down. First, let's put blood and gore together - blood is the liquid stuff inside people and other animals and gore is guts & stuff. If that's what a horror movie is then all war movies, most gangster movies, many westerns, and any halfway realistic medical drama qualifies as "horror". If you're anything like me then you're not so much "horrorfied" at blood and gore. I mean, the standard response to that should be "yuck!" not fear. Now what about action and violence, those two go together, right? Well, right there you have me again. Isn't there a whole genre of movie  (and fiction in general) known as "action"? What's so horrofying about "action"? In fact, if you put too much action in a horror movie it moves too fast and you have no time for fear or horror or any other horror-related response. Just think of that remake of Dawn of the Dead. The zombies ran around so fast all the time it didn't really matter that they were zombies. I mean, what the hell is so horrorfying about that?! Sure, maybe you won't get bored, but "not being bored" isn't really what horror is for, is it? And as for violence, well that's just destructive action directed at living creatures, particularly people. Well, now THAT is pretty horrorfying, but once you bring in a horror element, say like a zombie or a vampire or some monster or whatever, well, you've stepped off into fantasy and forgive me, but I'm not really scared by things that don't exist, so no ammount of violence will convince me that anything is a good horror movie. That pretty much leaves violence perpetrated by insane, devious, or supposedly "evil" human beings. That means that the only truly decent horror movies, provided you look for your horror films to have "blood, gore, action and violence," is a mad killer movie with no supernatural element to be disbelieved, an ultra realistic depiction of people killing and maiming each other. You're right that DOES sound really horrible! Add to that the fact that when you get such over the top action and violence and gore you tend to lose your sense of belief because you know it isn't true, isn't really happening so, like so many horror fans, you become really just a fan of fake movie carnage and watch your beloved (fake) "horror movies" like a sports fan, yelling at the screen, cheering on the carnage, never really taking time to become horrorfied or scared in any way. Well, I'm sorry, but if that's horror you can keep it! Movies like Devil's Backbone may seem more dramatic than horrorific when compared to a zombie movie, but for my money it's closer to horror than most "blood, gore, action & violence" fests masquerading as horror and providing mere frat boy thrill ride chills than anything resembling horror or fear. It still all comes down to story and taking time to bring about a suspension of disbelief and drawing the viewer into a state of tracelike horror and fear. If you like this sort of thing, this movie may stick with you. If not, that's fine, too.
