an attempt to watch at least one horror a day through october (i didn't even realise that today is the 1st :-[) is a good enough reason to actually start watching some of these fuckers that i buy / download but never bother watching ::) so lets crack on. Day 1 FOUND (2012) - this is fairly grim stuff. a young boy, alienated and bullied at school, with even his one and only friend turning against him, discovers that his elder brother is a serial killer when he finds the victims severed heads in his brothers bowling ball bag in the closet (this is actually revealed right from the off). far from been horrified, he likes to sneak into his brothers room and look at these heads whilst his brother is at work. we don't get to see the actual killings, the film instead focuses on the younger brother rtrying to deal with his own troubles whilst hoping that his brother doesn't catch him snooping and off him too, lol. ironically, it's the older brother who turns out to be the only person in his life he can confide in with his problems. one problem which the brother promptly deals with :D there's not much in the way of gore. when it does come, it comes by way of a slasher film the kid and his only friend are watching on vhs, so it's very obvious that its special effects and over the top. but still, when it does come, its fucking brutal, shocking and awesome all rolled into one. plus it's the first and last time we get to see boobs. the real terrifying stuff is saved for the end which is very intense and is well worth watching just for that alone. there's a blink and you miss it moment when there's actually a fully erect penis on full view. you'll understand how disturbing this is when seen in relation to the scene prior. bearing in mind that this is a low budget indie. it his shot very well. the young kid actor is very good indeed, as is the chap playing his brother. the mum and dad are a bit iffy tbh, but overall most of the cast are decent. GORE - infrequent but intense BOOB COUNT - 1 OVERALL - 7/10 |

Day 2 DRACULA (2012) - argentos takes on the dracula story. this version plays more on the romance angle. though not very well it has to be said. and there's a slight twist where it's revealed that the village elders have some sort of pact with dracula, but this isn't fleshed out at all. though it's not quite as dreadful as some reviews would suggest. it's still not good. it has the worst jonathan harker since jonathan harkers began. and that includes keanu. asia argento, although still pretty hot, is way to old to play lucy. the age gap between her and mina is so obvious it looks like she's her mother. and then there's the shitty acting and very bad asylum-esque cgi :-X GORE - a scene when dracula fucks up a room full of people is really the only time the claret gets spilled in any quantity. the cgi is intense. BOOB COUNT - 2 fully exposed and a not so heaving cleavage OVERALL - 4/10 |

Day 3 PUPPET MASTER 3: TOULON'S REVENGE (1991) - set in germany during ww2. 'toulon's revenge' is his and his puppets murderous vengeance on the nazis after the murder of his wife by the nazis in their quest to discover the secret of toulon's living puppets. their plan is to reanimate their dead soldiers for the war effort with toulons secrets holding the key to eternal life. easily the best of all the sequels. and perhaps the best of the whole bunch. great effects, great acting from the chap (guy rolfe (DOLLS - (1989)) playing toulon. it plays as a prequel really, with the identities of the puppets also revealed. GORE - tunneler gruesomely fucks up a nazi or two BOOB COUNT - 3 pairs of naturals and 1 boob job (plastic tits in nazi germany ???) OVERALL - 7/10 PARASITE (1982) - i can imagine that this would have been a lot more enjoyable if viewed how it was intended to be in it's original 3d. it's not much cop to be honest. really only notable as an early demi moore feature. it would have helped if it was at least explained why this deadly parasite was created and why the world was in the post apocalyptic state it was in. i suspect this was made purely to show off the 3d effects and nothing else GORE - a couple of obviously alien inspired head, not chest, burst. BOOB COUNT - 1 OVERALL - 4/10 |

DAY 4 SPLINTER (2008) - an escaped convict and his two captives are trapped in an isolated petrol station under attack by a weird, alien like parasitic like creature, that infects the inflicted with what look like agonising splinter spines. a basically a THE THING remake on a budget. its pretty good though. DAY 5 VAMPYR (1932) - a simple tale told of a family under a vampire curse. eerie with a dreamlike atmosphere of dread topped a fantastic, foreboding score. DAY 6 DRACULA (1931) - not much more well know lugosi DRACULA. this is the spanish version shot at the same time using the same sets and more or less the same script. obviously lugosi is the better dracula of the two. but apart from that, i would say that this spanish version is infact the better version. |

DAY 7 JUG FACE (2013) - a backwoods community worships some entity that dwells down a pit. entity demands human sacrifice. the chosen victim doesn't particularly want to die, plus she preggers which is a big no-no. especially when you've been fucking your brother and he's the father. the pit kills innocents until its appeased or the righful sacrifice comes forward. i won't spoil the rest, but it's an interesting story and worth a watch. |
