This movie stars Kevin Bacon as the father of a teenager who is gunned down during a gang initiation killing. More of a thriller then a horror movie, really, this movie surprised me somewhat. The violence is somewhat predictable for the first part of the movie, but there’s some really excellent camerawork. There’s a scene where he’s being chased and winds up in a parking garage, and the camera moves between various floors of it and it’s pretty well done. You can see that the cameraman actually was climbing between floors with the camera on his shoulder.

The movie doesn’t pull any punches, though. An hour into the movie, you’d think it’s all over when he’s shot and the rest of his family is killed before his eyes.

In the end, it’s a bit cliche, but an enjoyable action-thriller.

Well…to cut to the chase, this was a little disappointing. The film starts out slowly, and Jessica, the protagonist, is, well, kind of a bitch. She’s a struggling model with grand aspirations. She answer’s and ad for free photos, and flips out at the end of the shoot when they ask her to show a little skin. Like, goes into hardcore bitch mode. Later, one of the creepy photographers, Georgy, tracks her down and rapes her. Except, he’s kind of mentally challenged and lovable, and the film spends time trying to make you feel pity for this character. Long story short, she’s drugged and wakes up in Bulgaria where more rape happens. They think they kill her, but she escapes into an underground tunnel and begins plotting revenge. There’s a whole somewhat pointless side-plot about an Orthodox priest who helps her. Once she starts taking revenge and killing her captors, which is at least 2/3s into the movie, the film really disappointing.  It doesn’t take much talent to be a stuck up bitch, or to be screaming in pain, but she fails miserably at all her revenge scenes. Corny dialog, poorly delivered, and no acting ability at all. There’s a pretty brutal scene where a dude gets his balls smashed in a vice, but besides that and some tits, not much point to this movie.

Wow, Wolf Creek was a lot of fun! Campers get stranded, and a kindly redneck turns out to be a torture killer! The high def cinematography really captured the austerity and desolation of the Australian outback. It starts off a bit slowly, but after it gets going, it is actually quite surprisingly gory throughout. The acting is pretty good, insofar as scared chicks running around getting chased by a crazy man have to act. The soundtrack is a full orchestral score, which I appreciate very much. I think I’d definitely like to see more Australian pictures like this. I’ll let you know how the sequel is!

Metal Mike and I had recently finished a show in Vegas, and he had never gotten to see Eli Roth’s Goretorium before. If you don’t know, he’s the director of Hostel and Cabin Fever and such and made a sick haunted house right on the strip that runs 365 days a year. We got there at 11:30 am, shortly after we woke up from a night of madness and boozing, and found out that during the day, they don’t have actors in the tours. The very nice staff explained it was a ‘behind the scenes tour’, and we were prepared to be a bit disappointed.

We waited for the next tour, and it was just us. A small, older gentleman, with a thick Slavic accent greeted us. he took us though the house by the side entrance and began to give us a background of the fictional history of the place. It turns out, it was a totally fictional behind the scenes, and he was doing it in character! Well ,this was awesome. The guy had a great sense of humor and played it as straight as he could. We had a blast and he still worked some frights into almost every room. I think I actually enjoyed it more than the night time tour, as we got to take our time and enjoy it. Check them out!
