GIALLORAMA! SEVEN BLOOD STAINED ORCHIDS (1972) TWO TOP HATS

February 29, 2012 by theipc

Another Giallo… what? I wrote, after the traumatic and greasy “The New York Ripper“, that I probably wouldn’t watch one of these again, but the other week I was filling up my Netflix queue, saw the title and synopsis and… well – it called to me. I have to say that this is a TON better than ‘The Ripper’ with a better plot, some seemingly better acting, better dubbing, better (IMO) sweet ass 1970′s furniture and decor, better looking cast and, for […]

FEBRUARY 29TH

February 29, 2012 by theipc

Good morning! February 29th.. this day only comes around every four years, so what better way to celebrate this Strange Day than with the very strange “STRANGE GIRLS“? This is a very bizarre, low budget, well acted (for the most part), probably-not-Hi-Def-rendered movie if you can find it but, I think, if you check it out, you won’t be disappointed in what you see. You should check out the review and try and gauge your opinion and while I think […]

THE INAUGURAL “SHINING I” AWARDS!

February 26, 2012 by theipc

While all of those other guys are having big, I don’t know, ”get togethers” honoring the industry, The IPC-Academy has decided to put out our own list of award winners for the first time. It should certainly be stated that not every single movie released in 2011 was seen with these eyes, considering there’s a particular type of film we focus on here: Horror (the good, the bad, the terrible and the Most Unclean), Thriller and the occasional mainstream job […]

THE SILENT HOUSE (2011) THREE TOP HATS

February 25, 2012 by theipc

After lunch today, in a starch coma, I was scrolling through the trailers on Apple TV and saw that we are in store for an American remake of the Uruguayan / Spanish “The Silent House” – whatever… This time around we get the third Olsen kid, Elizabeth Olsen – who struck it big in Martha Marcy May Marlene, as the beleaguered youth who gets some scares in the mystery house. I remembered I liked the old one and thought I would reflect on my […]

TAKE SHELTER (2011) FOUR TOP HATS

February 24, 2012 by theipc

I have heard nothing but good things about this movie – I mean nothing but – and finally got to check it out this morning on my day off, lying in bed with the cat – and I really liked it but its been difficult for me to develop a decent write-up. It’s not a horror, although it is scary to imagine what this character and his family are going through, it’s not “actiony” or very suspenseful – it’s just a very […]

CHEERLEADER CAMP (1988) THREE TOP HATS

February 23, 2012 by theipc

The other day I was talking to a friend about this blog and we both got a big laugh again about “the iPad” review over on the TGOGTSBPOOBO page. Since I am working on another “compilation”, I thought I would give it some marquis treatment – grammar, syntax, spelling errors and all. Here you go: ***** (I started watching this on a Friday night and decided I would try something new and take notes on the iPad. When I read […]

ASH WEDNESDAY

February 22, 2012 by theipc

(no offense intended) The beginning of Lent for a whole lot of people; the day to repent one’s sins and faults. What better way to express your penitence than to cast your eyes on a very well made movie called EXORCISMUS? It’s got it all: Old Scratch, the cloth, teens acting up, Pinhead himself Doug Bradley as a priest. The camera work is excellent, there’s well planned out scenes (soccer ball, kitchen, hello), cool sound effects, good make up effects. […]

THE TRIPLE PLAY: THE GINGER SNAPS TRILOGY

February 20, 2012 by theipc

GINGER SNAPS (2000) THREE TOP HATS Holy Shit – was this really released in 2000? That seems so long ago…. wow. I guess, looking at it now – it does look a little dated – a little “90s” if you will with some lovely 90s grunge apparel and 90s hairdos, a lack of CGI creature effects and CGI blood, lack of cell phones and crappy “we can’t get any signal” gimmicks. Here we get real stunt people, a special effects crew (and a person […]

THE BIRDS

February 20, 2012 by theipc

While this isn’t a motion picture review, I thought I would write a few words about the horror that is: trying to get into the building at work during Canadian Goose mating season, which must have been the inspiration for Hitchcock’s “The Birds” (1963). Every year these bastard geese start getting it on all over the place, shitting everywhere and then spend weeks trying to find a place to nest. They come in swarms of about thirty or forty and they all fight and squawk […]

NUDE NUNS WITH BIG GUNS (2010) TWO TOP HATS

February 15, 2012 by theipc

Before we get too excited, one way or another, about this movie based on its title, let me post that this isn’t anywhere nearly as taboo as the risque premise presented to us. Yes there are a lot of semi-attractive, fully naked women in this, some weenuses also get some screen time and there’s lots of killing with CGI blood, but there’s only one “nun” who has any guns and they are just pistols, with the exception of some sort […]

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY

February 14, 2012 by theipc

Valentine’s Day – the day we share our undying love with our soul mates. What better way to show him or her how much you love them than to pop open a 50 year old bottle of wine or scotch, cook up a nice dinner and fire up the My Bloody Valentine remake. Just imagine how much fun he or she will have watching a guy in a miner’s outfit showing how much he cares about undying love as he […]

DRIVE (2011) FIVE TOP HATS

February 12, 2012 by theipc

1) A year or so ago, I was reading something on the upcominghorrormovies site, I can’t remember what movie it was but one of their reviewers gave it a 10 out of 10 and then some asshole came around on the message boards griping about how giving something a 10/10 means “it’s the perfect movie” and “(the reviewer) mentioned flaws so how could it logically be a perfect 10″ and how stupid the reviewer is and whatever else – troll.

DONNER PASS (2012) THREE TOP HATS

February 9, 2012 by theipc

For a low budget movie about cannibalism with a load of not-seen-very-much cast members, Donner Pass actually has some good stuff in it, although that movie poster is not one of them. In fact, this poster, coupled with The Man Who Collected Food, makes me want to finally fork out the money for some graphic design software and make my own covers – and I might just do that with my bonus money and add some new atmosphere to the […]

SPIDERHOLE (2010) THREE TOP HATS

February 7, 2012 by theipc

I have been passing this up for several months now, mostly because the poster that came with it reads “If you liked HOSTEL or SAW, you’ll like SPIDERHOLE”. Well, I kind of liked the Hostel series (hostel), I could never get into the Saw films, the log line didn’t get me too interested either: “They say squatting is dead – a term that takes on a sinister double meaning when four homeless art students decide to take up residence in […]

GUEST REVIEW! – SPRING BREAK MASSACRE

February 4, 2012 by theipc

Since I have been doing this, back in the iWeb days (before they shut it down) – when I have talked about this movie blog – I have always encouraged “submissions” and everyone I talked to, I guess, has been too shy and no one has ever sent me anything. Since I changed to the goodness here at WordPress, I have had a little more attention and, finally, have a guest submission. I will happily take submissions – just email me – and I’ll read […]

DREAM HOUSE (2011) TWO TOP HATS

February 4, 2012 by theipc

For those of you who look at my ramblings, you know that I can get easily suckered hooked by a movie trailer or even the poster and, believe me, that’s what we have here. Here’s a quick back story – last year I watched Robert Redford’s “The Conspirator” and the entire time I was thinking – “This is made by Robert Redford??” It was completely and totally boring and looked and felt like an ’80s made-for-after-school TV show. The Dream […]

THE THING (2011) THREE TOP HATS

February 2, 2012 by theipc

(2011) There seems to be a lot of hate for this movie out on the IMDB “butchering Carpenter’s visionary classic” and I am really not sure why. Considering the sets were built to exactly match those of the 1982 Kurt Russel “Thing” and, if you’ve seen that Thing, then you would realize that this Thing is, basically, the exact same Thing, just with Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the lead. For real, if you take out the “spaceship” Thing and the […]

DEVILS RACECOURSE (2009) ONE TOP HAT

February 2, 2012 by theipc

With a name like Devils Racecourse, this has to be good right? 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BEEP – the correct answer is no. This movie was boring from start to finish, made little sense, it seemed like there was thirty minutes worth of just shots of people’s feet walking around in the leaves, the dialogue was awful, the acting just as bad and the “neato” twist they tried at the the end didn’t even make any sense – it […]

TEXAS KILLING FIELDS (2011) THREE TOP HATS

February 1, 2012 by theipc

I could go on and on and on about how much I like Apple TV – but the one important thing to note here is that they have movie trailers you can watch in the convenience of your own home. With that, I saw this promo featuring the awesome Chloe Grace Moretz, the hmmmmm-I-don’t-know-why-you-are-so-popular Sam Worthington, the you-really-need-to-find-your-niche-buddy Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the you-need-to-just-play-Al-Capone Stephen Graham and the why-haven’t-you-been-in-more-stuff-please-make-some-good-horror-movies Jessica Chastain and I thought it looked very good. Whenever I have […]
