Saw VI Review
October 29, 2009 by Brian Orndorf
I walked out of a screening of “Saw” in 2004 absolutely appalled with the movie. Not for the sadomasochistic violence the film would soon popularize, but for the cruddy production value and the laughably abysmal performances — Cary Elwes should be gifted a national holiday for his whimpering, career-smothering work, effectively neutering the repulsion of the ultraviolence. I loathed the film, yet watched with some degree of surprise as the franchise developed a defensive mainstream following; kindly folk who cheerfully hurdled generous filmmaking clichés and further acting decimation to bathe in the warm pools of blood, sucking up the suffering with a bendy straw as if the nightmare were Cherry Coke.

Review: Gamer – All Style, No Substance
September 5, 2009 by Morbid
Some time in the not so distant future, video games will allow a gamer to control a real, live person instead of a computer generated avatar. Two of the most popular games of this type are Societysociety
, a Simssims reviews
type game in which beautiful, desperate people are paid to let others control them from the comfort of their weight-stressed computer chairs. The second game, Slayers, is broadcast weekly and features death row inmates who have signed up to be controlled by game players in death match skirmishes against other death row inmates. The controller gets the fame and celebrity status while the prisoner, if he wins 30 rounds, is awarded a full pardon. Kable (real name Tilman), the current game leader and crowd favorite, has been kicking ass in concert with his 17-year-old controller, Simon. They are on the eve of winning the game but Slayer’s creator, Ken Castle, has different plans for Kable that do not include winning, and much more sinister plans for the rest of the world.

My Bloody Valentine Remake?
June 7, 2007 by Morbid

Bloody-Disgusting is reporting that they have gotten a scoop regarding LionsGate remaking the 1980 slasher film, My Bloody ValentineMy Bloody Valentine reviews
. For those who are unaware, My Bloody valentine was one of the many slasher films released in the ’80s that involved a group of teenagers being stalked by a deranged person dressed in miner garb and a pick-axe while trapped underground in a coal mine.
The film is popular amongst horror fans for not only the content, but because of it being a victim of some nasty cuts from the censors leaving a fairly neutered product that looked a lot different from some of the still shots that were released in horror magazines before it was put into theaters. Fans have long awaited a DVD release of the original film with all the cut footage back in place, especially since the footage is still in existence. Maybe a remake would be the first step in something like that seeing the light of day.
The fact that Lionsgate is behind the remake is a good indication that it will be a bloody one, as Lionsgate has proven with their distribution of such films as HostelHostel reviews
2, Saw 3 and the upcoming Midnight Meat Train, they have no issues delivering R-rated horror films.
