HEADLESS

Not Rated
2015

A feel good story about a boy kept in a cage by his crazy mother and sadistic sister who sees visions of a pasty prepubescent kid in a skull mask which causes him to grow up and rape decapitated heads and chew milk-filled eyeballs while hiding scores of half-naked corpses in a muddy cave alongside a faceless mannequin (who wears a shade of lipstick that's not right for her). Afterwards, he tries to avoid a perturbed would-be victim who wants to smash his viscera encrusted face in with a severed human leg. Perfect for fans who don't have all day to vomit. A companion film to the critically acclaimed Found. Recommended for aspiring sociopaths and disgruntled optometrists.

EATEN ALIVE!

Not Rated
1980
A young woman who looks like a Sears mannequin, along with a scuzzy mercenary who must have gotten too much positive reinforcement as a child, searches the jungles of New Guinea in the hope of rescuing her long lost sister from a cult that has been holding her hostage. After casually watching a woman get EATEN ALIVE! in cannibal territory, they make their way to a camp where they meet the cult's creepy leader Jonas, a petulant beta male who dresses like Mrs. Roper from Three's Company. Hijinks ensue when the cultists sense the end is near and enjoy refreshments of Drano and juice while our fleeing heroes pretend to be in danger of getting caught by painted natives who run after them like diabetes patients who just got in from a smoke break. Poorly acted, poorly scripted, and poorly edited, this film does for horror movies what Tide Pods do for cuisine. Includes a very disturbing scene of a very real monkey being swallowed by a very real snake.

LAKE NOWHERE

Not Rated
2014

A masked man dressed like a tree with Thousand Cankers Disease stalks the woods slaughtering self-absorbed college drop outs with a twelve-inch metal phallic that looks like the door panel from a rusty Ford Pinto. But nothing about the story matters. Lake Nowhere's appeal is in its presentation. Edited to look like a bootlegged VHS tape complete with transfer errors and "home video" drop-ins, and front-loaded with bogus Coming Features and a commercial, this grainy grue is best watched as a love letter to the grindhouse era of drive-in movies. Despite its burger-and-fries budget, the acting is decent, the gore is realistic, and the ending is a creep show. If you are old enough to remember the exhilaration of getting your hands on a half-chewed tape of some nasty underground movie your parents refused to let you watch, Lake Nowhere is for you.

HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER

Not Rated
1986

For ex-con Henry, there is no right side of the bed. Every day, unburdened by a conscience or even a good comb, he roams the countryside slaughtering men, women and children with all the emotion of a goth chick on Thorazine. When the oafish Otis is introduced to Henry's slasher shenanigans, the pair leave a trail of viscera that even the Marquis de Sade would find distasteful. Tensions build after Otis' sister Becky enters the scene and is immediately smitten by Henry's dirty wife-beater undershirt and an apparent ability to go days without blinking. Full of splattered tubs, human stubs and a luggage nightmare even United Airlines couldn't top, Henry doesn't just leave an emotional scar. It gives you one.

THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE

Rated R
1982

While her parents are away, Trish invites her friends over to model skimpy pajamas and giggle for no reason. In an absolutely believable coincidence, a murderous lunatic with crazy eyebrows and a super-hip denim outfit has escaped the mental institution and is now making his way to town. Having memorized the script, Mr. Killy-pants heads to their house and begins terrorizing the apparently twenty-seven year old teenagers with an enormous power drill that is completely non-metaphorical and has nothing to do with male domination or penises. Written and directed by women, this casually misogynistic movie was originally conceived as a parody but somehow got filmed as a straight ahead slasher, making it uniquely droll and delightful. Warning: not recommended for pizza delivery drivers.

INTRUDER

Rated R
1989

Someone inside the Walnut Lake Market has taken "everything must go" a little too seriously. While working after hours to slash prices, an anonymous killer is using the store's own machinery to slash the staff, causing a clean-up in aisles three, four and nine, and generally ruining any chance of getting a good referral. When one survivor outlasts her expiration date, the killer is exposed and the real horror begins. This lesser known slasher has great practical effects and features Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi and Ted Raimi in small but memorable roles. Though flawed, Intruder is a gory good time.

SLEEPAWAY CAMP

Rated R
1983

Shy Angela Baker is at Camp Arawak having the worst summer of her life. Besides dealing with mean girls, an awkward crush and a male counselor who's tight gym shorts indicate he's always happy to see her, she must overcome a childhood trauma that causes her to sit by herself and stare into space a lot. When a killer begins slaughtering cooks, counselors and campers in increasingly diabolical ways, Angela is forced to confront her tragic past to survive. With clever kills, a corny but fun script and a surprise ending that will leave you clawing at your eyes and mumbling incoherently, Sleepaway Camp is a true slasher classic. Followed by three really awful sequels.

AUDITION

Rated R
1999
Japanese

A widowed film producer tries to find a girlfriend the old-fashioned way—by inviting pretty young ladies to audition for movies that don't exist. Falling for the hot but "damn that girl is crazy" Asami, he discovers too late that lonely heart strings may ache but piano wire cuts like a mother. Takashi Miike's gore-fest is a test of endurance that will leave you on pins and a whole lot of very sharp, very long needles, while sociopath Asami's gleeful "tee-dee, tee-dee, tee-dee" will haunt all your English subtitled nightmares forever.

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS

Rated R
2014

Spinal Tap meets Interview With A Vampire when a documentary film crew is invited to film the lives of three typical flatmates who argue over dirty dishes, complain about their privacy and drink the blood of the living. When a novice vampire with a habit of biting off more than he can chew is introduced to the sanguine group, all the paper towels in the world won't be able to clean up the bad blood. With bumbling coppers, insecure werewolves, and the funniest sunlight accident ever put to film, What We Do In The Shadows is a dark comedy you can really sink your, uh...Well, it's pretty good.
