Halloween Day by Day: "Angst" (2003)

During this years, 24 hour horror movie tweet along, I tweeted along to a British horror film called "Angst", and I felt it deserved a few words...

Helen can't have sex... because her talking vagina devours men.

Dennis can't follow through on his love for Helen... because he's wanted for the murder of a conjoined twin.

What fate awaits these two... and all those that get involved in their lives?

2003's "Angst" (also called "Penetration Angst"), by director Wolfgan Buld, was a painful experience for me.

The story was just a rambling mess of nonsensical gibberish: talking vaginas, conjoined twins, a bank robbing stripper, a panty sniffing cop, and a rapist in a gimp mask who's crippled by a stuffed bunny on the stairs.

Oh.. and the fakest mustache in history:

A horror all its own...

The characters were all just fucked right up- ALL of them. The cop fiance is a panty sniffer, the gyno is a rapist, Dennis takes an electric carving knife to a set of conjoined twins, and the stripper only wants to rob banks with Dennis BECAUSE he's wanted for murder.

Don't get me started on the acting. Right- you got me started on the acting.

Sheer crap. Utter dog poo smeared on the wall crap. This is what it's like when shit french kisses the fan.

After watching this movie, I needed to take six Extra Strength Tylenol, and do some breathing exercises because this movie just hurt my brain that much. This crap is just bad, unentertaining, nonsensical shit. Don't watch. Don't even think about watching. Just pass that thought right on by, and nope the fuck out of its vicinity. An absolute, rock bottom "Ugly" from me.

Meridian: Kiss of the Beast (1990)

Sometimes, a director/producer will surprise you- such was the case during " Terrorpolooza 2012 " when I watched Charles Band's " Meridian: Kiss of the Beast " Catherine Bomarzini has come home after her father's death. Needing company, she asks Gina to stay with her. Soon, the two meet a wondering troupe of performers that Catherine invites to dinner at her castle. Catherine find herself pulled into a love triangle and an ancient curse that only she can break. After watching movies like " Evil Bong ", and " Demonic Toys ", I really wasn't expecting too much from this Charles Band movie- but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The story is actually quite interesting with lots of potential for eerie scenes, and character development. It's a nice twist on the classic " Beauty and the Beast " story. It's a bit slower than most of Band's other works, but moves smoothly and draws you with it. I have to ad...

Zombie Bikers From Detroit (2001)

Over the years, it has been shown that with very little money, a skillful director can put together a high quality horror movie (John Carpenter's " Halloween ", " The Blair Witch Project ", and " Paranormal Activity " being a few of them). So, when it comes to determining a movie's quality, budget is no longer a negative... Ken and his mother have moved from Hell, Michigan to Grosse Pointe near Detroit. Upon his arrival, he meets the lovely Courtney, and her jealous suitor Chad. While Ken and Chad square off, an evil is growing within Detroit and slowly spreading towards Grosse Point... where Ken will meet his destiny ... This week's " What Movie Wednesday " winner was " Zombie Bikers From Detroit "- a low budget horror movie that feels like it was put together as a school project. High School, or College... I can't really tell. The premise- as stated in my little synopsis is interesting- as was the title. ...

The Black Castle (Les Daniels)

Vampires and witches are often a good basis for a horror novel. Through in the Spanish Inquisition, and odds are you'll get a pretty good story. In 1496, while the Spanish Inquisition is in full motion, Diego de Villanueva is seeking a way to rise through the ranks of the Inquistion. He will do anything he needs to... even use his brother's darkest secrets and knowledge to bring fear and hatred to the world... " The Black Castle " caught my eye while shopping at " The Book Place ". I was intrigued by the idea of it taking place during the Spanish Inquisition. While I did enjoy reading this book, I was also a little disappointed. The style is very fitting to the story- it has an almost old world charm and rythm to it that I found pleasing to the ear. It's also easy to read, and flows at a nice pace. While, it's not "fancy", the images it creates are fairly good and atmospheric. The story itself is a really interesting idea....
