I'm not all too crazy about movies based on comic books. Please forgive me if I'm wrong in saying that, but someone DID tell me that this film is based on a comic book or some other form of literature to that nature heh.
But, I liked it. Not to the point where I laid in bed that night thinking about it or anything, but it was a clever movie.
I know, there is only so much you can do with the whole vampire genre, but something about the way these characters were portrayed just made it so much more believable for the two hours, lol!
I was especially enthralled by the one scene towards the center of the movie in which the Master arises from beneath the desert sand with his goons. it just looks so....damn...creepy.

One of those nearly brand new straight to video horror releases. It has a very likable killer, simply because....heehee....there is just something downright funny (to me anyways) about a guy dressed in full Uncle Sam drag going around killing people Jason-style.
Starts off with an awesome punch, but like so many modern horror films, it unfortunately goes downhill after the take-off.

Oh my goodness ... hail Hollywood for bringing Dr. Lechter back, and giving him such a lovable personality!
in Silence Of The Lambs, he was cool, but we saw very little of him outside of a cell. On the other hand, in the sequel, he is a free man, and packs the one-liners like they are going out of style.
I also loved the level of gruesomeness in this movie .... just to give you a little "taste" of what I mean, just imagine huge man-eating hogs and a dinner consisting of your own brain as the entre.
Call me insane....but I found myself crossing my fingers in hopes that Hannibal The Cannibal didn't get offed in this movie.

I was sceptical of this sequel before watching it .... I happen to be part of the population that loved the original heh. but I wasnt all too sure about Book Of Shadows. I mean how could one successfully sequel a movie as....odd...as the Blair Witch Project?
But, it turns out that Book Of Shadows is friggen AWESOME IMO! I mean it has the same kind of ending as the first....where you are left thinking "ummm....omg...what happened next?" I Just cant imagine being out on a light-hearted witch tour as these characters were, living out my normal life, only to discover at the end of it all that I have savagely killed more than one person in the past two / three days and not having any clue that it took place. AND discovering that I did it by watching myself commiting the murders on camera.
Book Of Shadows leaves a lot of open ends. ... I mean we never quite know WHY this stuff happened to the characters or HOW they were possessed to do these horrible things .... and if the murderers were in fact them or if they were just witch clones? Or was their film just tampered with as a frame-up?
Then again, that's evidently been the whole point of the Blair Witch hysteria, to leave everyone saying "Huh?!!" in the end.

I rented this movie not realizing that it was not even made until 96 lol....I guess I was thinking that it was released back in Karen BLACK"S HAY-day. Nevertheless, it is a very good follow-up to the original
The first installment involves a woman who is having an affair with her COUSIN (gag) and offs her rich husband to claim the money promised her. Only she ends up getting to deal with some very largeeee cemetary rats, and in a very claustrophobic situation.
Story #2 is pretty eerie..a woman raises her drowned son from the dead, only, he ends up not being the sweetheart she remembers him as.
The final story, like the closing segment in the original Trilogy, just takes the cake. The Zuni Fetish doll from the original returns, and the story picks up where the first one left off. I loved this segment. like the original movie, the same actress stars in all three stories. But unlike Karen Black, I sadly doubt she ever appeared in anything else lol...still, this is a great sequel and I suggest renting it.

Filmed in '89 or so, is an hour of interviews from four of the main actors from the original film.
I was a little let down because upon renting it I had had hopes it would include never-before-seen-footage, but it didnt 8(. Still, the interviews are pretty cool ... the actors tell about how they were cast, the strenuous filming hours, the heat in the farm house, and the smell of putrid meat on the set lol. I dubbed it onto another tape I have with horror documentaries, biographies ...etc, on it.

This was very cool IMO. i dont know why Hollywood has not looked into filming more predominantly non-Caucasion horror films, because iIfeel that, if HOOD had been given more publicity, it would have been very successful. In this anthology, the wraparound story consists of three Black gang members who must visit a funeral parlor to get "the shit" from its director. (I guess "the shit" is drugs, it never really says, heh). Yet the director ends up putting the "purchase" off and in the meantime entertains the impatient gang bangers with tales from the supernatural.
The first story involves a rookie cop who sets out to avenge the death of a local Black peace maker by luring his three murdering White cops to their deaths. it was an OK installment....not all that scary though.
Story #2 is about a little boy whose stepfather abuses him each night when fits of rage turn him into a monster...literally. Better than the first story, especially with the almost comical way in which the stepfather is destroyed.
Number 3 includes your basic Southern White racist politician who meets his fate at the hands of a little Black doll which materializes out of a painting. a clever story reminiscent of Trilogy of Terror...woohooo!!!!!!
Now I'm not gonna give away the fourth story simply because it includes a twist ending to the wraparound story....but i will say that this movie is well worth renting...damn, it's one of the few anthologies i have ever seen in which the stories within get better as the movie goes along, and not the other way around lol.

Dear God! Evidently, ShadowZone is ShowTime's equivalent of HBO's Tales From The Crypt, and The Undead Express is it's failed attempt to match the success of TFTC PRESENTS DEMON KNIGHT.
This movie plays out in all aspects like an ABC after school special, complete with three shallow-charactered teens. The lesson taught? Don't go into an unknown subway station... vampires will getcha.
An even better lesson taught? Don't rent a movie based on a cool title and cover alone, cuz it's gonna suck. 8)
