SAW Greeting Cards Written by John “Jigsaw” Kramer
this week i’m re-watching the entire SAW series, and while doing so i’ve given some serious thought to the film’s antagonist, jigsaw. in addition to being a serial killer, jigsaw is a man of many, many talents. he is a world-class engineer, electrician, doll-maker and puppeteer. he has in-depth knowledge of human anatomy, physiology and [...]
Stuff I’ve Been Watching (Human Centipedes and Boring Zombies Edition)
THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE) i rarely get horror movie related questions at work, despite being known as “the horror guy.” the exception to that rule happened earlier this year when i was asked on no less than four occasions if i’d seen THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE. usually the questions basically boiled down to “omg! i [...]
AFTERMATH pops up on Netflix Watch Instantly
AFTERMATH, perhaps the most disgusting film ever made (and one of the films on our most disturbing horror films ever made list), has just popped up on netflix watch instantly. the only circumstance i can imagine you wanting to put this on would be a during a really bad blind date you want to get [...]
Stuff I’ve Been Watching (gore & Megan Fox edition)
jennifer’s body maybe it’s because megan fox was a part of the travesty that is transformers 2 or because i had no idea going in that the film was scribed by juno writer diablo cody, but i expected jennifer’s body to suck and suck hard. given such low expectations, it’s not a huge shock then [...]
Stuff I’ve Been Watching (Saw VI Gets Smacked Down by a Ghost Edition)
paranormal activity while the year is not yet over, i can easily state that paranormal activity will be on my top ten list for the year and has a damn good chance at the #1 slot. the hype surrounding it just keeps growing, but after seeing the film last week i have no problem saying [...]
Stuff I’ve Been Watching (chainsaw edition)
home sick alone this weekend with my two schnauzers, i had a lot of time to watch horrors films — some good and some bad. as it turns out, sick or not, i usually watch a lot of horror films during the average week, so i thought i’d turn my obsessive viewing habits into a [...]
Hostel’s Elite Hunting Logo Shirt
inspired by 1twistedmind‘s twitter request for info on a hostel ‘elite hunting’ logo t-shirt, i began looking around for such an item for myself. i found one at tshirtbordello.com that was close to what i wanted, but it has the film title in letters bigger than anything else, which sort of ruins the design for [...]
The Most Disturbing Horror Films Ever Made – Part II
begun last week with part one, here concludes our list of the most disturbing horror films ever made. Audition if that tiny office doorway from being john malcovich actually existed but it traveled into the creative mind of anyone you wanted, takashi miike’s would be the last one on my list (likely right below david [...]
The Most Disturbing Horror Films Ever Made – Part I
within modern cinema, the goal of any film is almost always one of two things: to entertain or to educate. whether it’s schindler’s list, roger & me or mission: impossible, the purpose is one or both of those things. it’s an unspoken agreement between filmmaker and audience that we rarely think about, and often take [...]
P2 and Martyrs
P2 Anyone who’s a fan of Seinfeld knows the “Parking Garage” episode in which George, Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer spend the entire show wandering a parking garage looking for their lost car, while encountering unsympathetic strangers and a heartless security guard. More than any other episode, “The Parking Garage” perfectly embodies the absurd humor and [...]
