THE DOUBLE FEATURE: THE VACANCY DUET

February 11, 2013 by theipc

VACANCY (2007) THREE TOP HATS It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these double features… I suppose I was pre-disposed to liking this because I am a big fan of Luke Wilson and – HELLO – AHEM – Kate Beckinsale – but, even when I watched this years ago (and the other day) I thought this was very – um – clunky and they didn’t do well together and the dialogue was kind of unbelievable and, in the […]

THE DOUBLE FEATURE: THE REST STOP DUO

July 19, 2012 by theipc

REST STOP (2006) THREE TOP HATS I remember being very excited for this when it was first announced – Eli Roth was making some good shit and this was his production house – “Raw Nerve” – and they were going to put out super gory movies with tons of blood and boobs like he / we saw in the 80s. Then this went straight to DVD (for a reason) and I went out and rented it and I remember being […]

THE DOUBLE FEATURE: THE CRIMSON RIVERS TWOSOME

March 19, 2012 by theipc

I wrote about The Crimson Rivers a while back and just got to the sequel so, in order to keep these things properly grouped, here it is again (in case you missed it) and Angels of the Apocalypse below. Writing that made me think that the last two movies I’ve seen are both derivatives of “an apocalypse” which made me think of the word “thematic” (which these aren’t intended to be) which made me think of a message I got from my […]

THE DOUBLE FEATURE: (REC) & (REC) 2

March 12, 2012 by theipc

I know I posted my thoughts on (REC) the other day, but I just got around to the sequel and wanted to have them grouped together – and to not chronologically spoiler-up the first by the post date. So, here’s (REC) and (REC)2 {in order}: (REC) (2007) FOUR TOP HATS In anticipation of the third movie of the (REC) series coming out this month, (REC) 3: Genesis, I thought I could spend some time revisiting the first two kick ass installments of this […]

THE DOUBLE FEATURE: 28 DAYS LATER & 28 WEEKS LATER

December 14, 2011 by theipc

28 DAYS LATER (2003) FIVE TOP HATS Has it really been eight years since I saw 28 Days in the theater? Wow… This movie totally blew me away that day. The commercials and ads touted this as “Roddy Doyle reinvents the zombie movie!” and boy he sure did (even though these are not really “zombies” as in undead humans, but are people infected with a virus called Rage that is transmitted through blood). From the first five minutes into it […]

THE DOUBLE FEATURE: THE DESCENT 1 & 2

October 27, 2011 by theipc

THE DESCENT (2005) FOUR TOP HATS I have to admit, when this first came out in the theaters and the local newspaper reviewed it, I didn’t think that a movie with six girls going spelunking sounded very entertaining, so I didn’t go see it. Sometime later I rented it and I was really blown away by the direction, the carnage, the surprises I didn’t see coming and even got a couple of jump-scares for the first time in years. Also […]

THE DOUBLE FEATURE: CABIN FEVER 1 & 2

October 26, 2011 by theipc

CABIN FEVER (2002) THREE TOP HATS I remember reading about this when it came out (before i went and saw it in the theater), about how Eli Roth (the director) was sick of shitty PG-13 horror like “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and such, so he was going to get back to making bad ass horror filled with the red stuff and naked bodies. His first effort was Cabin Fever here, which he followed up with the gruesome […]

THE DOUBLE FEATURE: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 1 AND 2 THREE COMBINED TOP HATS

August 28, 2011 by theipc

I’ll just refer to these as “1” and “2” to save space. This “found footage” job introduces us to comely couple Micah and Katie, the former beginning the movie firing up his new video camera to capture some of the strange things happening around their new house. We get a lot of the cliché “turn that camera off” from Katie to start with, some moans in the dark and then it fires up doors opening and closing, lots of banging […]

THE DOUBLE FEATURE: HATCHET AND HATCHET 2

August 27, 2011 by theipc

HATCHET (2006) THREE TOP HATS When a guy like me sees this come out back in 2006, with all of those accolades and proclaiming a “new American icon in horror”, “not a remake of Japanese horror”, “not a reboot”, “not a sequel”, “Old School American Horror” I was totally excited! Then, I watched it and was just kind of – er…um… not so much and forgot about it because it did nothing for me, really. Since then, since I saw […]
