Flesh-eating zombies are cured, but their assimilation back into society isn’t welcomed by everyone. Those that return are treated like outcasts. They must face consequences and the judgement of society for the horrific acts they committed while infected.
Creating a new and impressive monster/bogeyman is no easy task. We’ve seen so much in horror that leaving a mark on your psyche with a memorable ‘bad guy’ is worthy of massive praise. Child Eater makes a bold attempt to do this but does it succeed?
One of the unprosecuted video nasties, Happy Birthday to Me is a 1981 horror directed by J. Lee Thompson. What begins as a run of the mill slasher takes turn after turn, twist after twist to the point of absurdity but entertaining, none the less.
The Stream is an interesting watch, one that employs a unique style of shooting. The story sees a woman trying to cope with the suicide of her boyfriend. Desperate to understand why he took his own life, she looks into his obsession with a live stream of a dead man lying in a coffin.
Seventh Moon stars Amy Smart as Melissa and Tim Chiou as Yul, a newly married couple spending their honeymoon in China. A good story, some chilling moments, good acting and decent make-up are ruined by horrific shaky camera work.
Demon Wind is a 1990 horror movie directed by Charles Philip Moore. A movie that is part glorious B-movie goodness, part utter train wreck but topped off with plenty of entertaining scenes.
Lake Fear (also known as Cyprus Creek) sees four young girls head off to an isolated cabin for a weekend away. Unfortunately for them the cabin they are in is filled with all kinds of evil and soon the girls are in a desperate fight for their lives. That’s all the story you get. The film doesn’t bother after that.
If you enjoy hallucinations and a strangely moral tale, then Santa Sangre might be the film for you.
