ThanksKilling (2009)
Mar 5th
Director/writer: Jordan Downey | Rated: n/a (violence & nudity) | Review date: 5-Mar-2010
Jordan Downey’s ThanksKilling starts off with a smack-talking killer turkey chasing town a topless dame in colonial America, setting the stage for the rest of this preposterous ultra-low budget horror-spoof. In modern day, when five college classmates head back home for the holiday they unknowingly stumble upon the awoken curse of the Thanksgiving turkey. I already used up my food analogies in my review of Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, so bear with me.
ThanksKilling is one of those films that aims to be bad. Not just the low-budget kind More >
Black Dynamite (2009)
Feb 21st
Director: Scott Sanders | Rated: R | Review date: 20-Feb-2010
Long-barreled revolvers, kung-fu, and funky pimps are the key ingredients to Black Dynamite, starring (and also co-written by) Michael Jai White. Black Dynamite (White) is ex-CIA; back on the streets to get revenge after his brother is murdered by the Man. In his rampage, Dynamite discovers the pool of corruption and conspiracy by the Man to keep the black people down. White is hilarious as the title character, keeping a serious face during the most obnoxious of moments. White’s cut physique and nicely choreographed kung fu moves make him the ideal More >

Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006)
Feb 14th
Director: Lloyd Kaufman | Rated: Unrated (extreme gore & nudity) | Review date: 14-Feb-2010
The title says it all. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead is as loony and over-the-top as it sounds. Jason Yachanin hilariously plays Arby, a young man who takes up work at a local fast food chain (which happens to be on top of an indian burial ground) to support his unable parents. Before you can say “Sloppy José,” the restaurant is plagued with possessed chicken carcasses that soon make hosts of those that consume them. The final product is a hysterical chicken flavored zombedy musical topped with More >
The Caretaker (2010)
Feb 6th
Director: Bryce Olson | Rated: R | Review date: 6-Feb-2010
A group of hormone driven highschoolers devise a plan to scare their dates on their Homecoming dance. It just so happens that the dance falls on Halloween, so the boys thought it would be a brilliant idea to scare the girls in hopes that it would somehow end up fulfilling their sexual desires. Snail (James Immekus), Topher (Andrew St. John), and Ricky (Diego Torres) plan on sidetracking from the dance to an old orchard that hosts a legend of a demented killer.
The legend holds that a caretaker became so obsessed and More >
