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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

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 lynch). [...]
The Most Disturbing Horror Films Ever Made – Part I

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 peripatetic [...]
Splatter: Naked Blood and Botched
Splatter: Naked Blood (1996) is about a young scientist who invents a new kind of painkiller. The first problem with it is that it works by turning pain into pleasure. The second problem is that he tests it on unsuspecting women undergoing a clinical trial on an experimental birth control. Things go horribly awry, and [...]
Corey’s Best of 2008
for me, january has always been a month for drinking hot cocoa, bundling up tightly in multiple layers of itchy clothing, and hoping it snows so i don’t have to go to school, class, and/or work. january also marks the beginning of a new year and the end of the prior one. our [...]
