That's actually real. I wanna own it.

I'm also really interested in what he can do with "Cell". I'd also like to see a movie version of Brain Keene's "The Rising."

I actually like Cabin Fever the most out of all of Roth's movies, as it's the only one I watch regularly. The "Last House on the Left" references are pretty cool, and it does a nice job (at least in my opinion) of mixing horror and humor. Plus,

That series is a pet favorite of mine. I will give you one bit of advice: stay the fuck away from the third one, called The Ghost Galleon or The Horror of the Zombies. It's shockingly way worse than the rest of them, but in a slow, boring, empty way which makes it no fun whatsoever. Sadly, I've seen the third one, and it is crap. The first and second one though, are fucking great. I'd recommend "Night of the Sorcerers" from the same director. It's got beheadings, whipping, nudity, chicks in leopard skin bikinis, zombies-it's Euro Trash heaven. Cheap and sleazy as hell, but so much cheesy fun. Also, I've been pimping "Inside" for a while now. That's my favorite horror movie if the year so far.

Exorcist III is incredibly underrated, ans scary as hell. I'm still waiting for that Special Edition DVD. You liking the list so far?

07.) The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974) Plot: Two hippies (ugh) are suspected of being behind a series of murders. Thing is, it's actually the living dead-brought back by chemical pesticides-who are responsible. Review: After Night of the Living Dead, other filmmakers tried their hand at combining the living dead with social commentary. The first gory zombie movie from Italy to do so, "The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue" predates the likes of "Dawn of the Dead", as well as later Italian gore flicks. While the hippie angle may turn some viewers off, the movie in itself is largely a success, mostly because it doesn't become too preachy with it's message, and remembers that it's a horror movie first and foremost. In case you were wondering, the movie have it's fare share of atmospheric and gory moments, including some creepy as hell walking dead, a wonderful sequence in the cemetery, a woman's breast being torn straight off, and more. Adding to it all is some strong acting, a nice score, and top notch directing. "The Living Dead At Manchester Morgue" is considered one of the best European horror movies of all time, and for a good reason. Just be sure to get the new 2-disc DVD, as it's the definitive version. Rating: 9/10 A classic zombie movie, and a must for those interested in seeing more of the sub-genre. Next Time We Look At: One Dark Night

I'm really into weird, sleazy Euro Horror all of the sudden. Stuff like "Female Vampire", "Tombs of the Blind Dead", "Night of the Sorcerers", "Horror Rises From The Tomb", "The Living Dead Girl"-stuff like that. They might not constitute as good in the traditional or conventional sense, but I love them.

Amazingly, it's the only RE movie that I don't hate. Granted, it's not good, but I find it kinda watchable.

02.) Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) Plot: The third entry in the "Resident Evil" movie franchise sees Alice (Milla Jovovich) and a band of survivors from the previous (horrible) movie (including Oded Fehr and Mike "Where's Ice Cube?" Epps) and some new faces (Ali Larter as Claire Redfield and Ashanti-yes, that Ashanti) in a world reduced to a desert by the T-Virus. There's still plenty of undead, and the Umbrella Corperation want Alice-as she's the original. See, there's these clones-oh come on, you aren't watching this for plot. Review: Not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, the third entry in the series is actually the best of the series so far. Sure, it's far from original-cribbing elements from Day of the Dead (1985) (domesticating the dead) and The Mad Max movies (post apocalyptic desert landscape), but it at least has some decent points to go with the mindless action. For starters, there is thankfully more undead action this time around, with sun baked zombies at nearly every corner. Also absent this time is dreadful Nu-Metal, and that's always a plus. The acting is at least competant, and the movie itself is the most competantly directed entry in the series, managing to make sure you don't get bored for the large part. Also, if you don't like Ashanti, you'll be glad to know her role is small (as is her time in the movie). That out of the way, the fact that Alice has powers and superhuman abilities (from the last movie, which I like to pretend didn't happen) is really dumb. That reminds me, you really don't care about anybody in this movie, as there is no character development whatsoever throughout. People appaear and disappear, and those who die are people you really didn't see much of anyways. The ending also leaves room for yet another sequal, and really, do we need another one. Ok, it made about $150 Million worldwide, so it's inevetible. That out of the way,t he series needs to end, as we can't keep getting sequal after sequal. It's tiresome. Still, it's a decent Saturday afternoon flick, and if you don't think too hard while watching it, you might sorta enjoy it. Final Verdict: 6/10. Dumb popcorn entertainment not at it's best, but hardly at it's worst, and is at least the best "Resident evil" movie so far. Check it out if nothing else is on. Next time: Zombie Bloodbath

06.) Vengeance Of The Zombies (1973) Plot: An Indian Mystic (played by Paul Naschy) uses black magic to bring hot topless chicks back from the dead to get payback on those who wronged him. Naschy also plays the mystic's brother, and Satan himself. Review: Paul Naschy is the king of Spanish horror-not because of quality, but because he is a Lon Chaney jr./Boris Karloff like figure in how he was known for playing everything from Werewolves, Vampires, Demons-you name it. The first of four Spanish tales of the undead to be reviewed this month, "Vengeance Of The Zombies" is a rather confusing-though quite campy affair. The movie throws in everything but the kitchen sink-the occult, Satan, topless babes, zombies, psychedelic imagery, and a wholly inappropriate Jazzy Lounge score more suited for Bachelor than a horror movie. The movie, as you can guess, is hard to take seriously. However, as I also already mentioned, it's also rather confusing, as the kitchen sink approach ends up making you scratch your head at times, causing you to lose interest. Also, while the movie has plenty of camp appeal, it is hurt some by the occasional over reliance of exposition. A little exposition goes a long way, but too much is just annoying. In the end, "Vengeance Of The Zombies" offers some sleazy delights, but ends up feeling like too much of a good thing, and ends up wearing out it's welcome. A better place to begin as far as Spanish Zombie movies are concerned would be Tombs Of The Blind Dead. Rating: 5/10 I may be a big fan of exploitation and sleaze, but even though it had plenty of the right elements, "Vengeance Of The Zombies" left me feeling unfulfilled.

The new Bobby Digital album is pretty bad-surprising, I know. The new Nas album has leaked. It's got some killer tracks ("Queens Get The Money", "Fried Chicken"), and some bad ones ("Hero", "Sly Fox") It's better than "Hip Hop is Dead", but I think I prefer "The Nigger Tape."

I finally saw the trailer for "Mongol", and it's now in my "must watch" list with "Dark Knight", "Hellboy II", and "Mother of Tears." Speaking of which, has anyone seen MOT yet?

Anderson's next movie is a remake of Death Race 2000 with Jason Statham and Tyreese Gibson. Of course, The Asylum had to do a mockbuster of it-only for some reason, they had to have it star Raven (yes, that Raven) and The Insane Clown Posse. (Warning, this may be NSFW)

05.) The Dead Pit (1989) Plot: Years ago, Dr. Gerald Swan (Jeremy Slate) discovered Dr. "Bad reference to a great director" Ramzi (Danny Gochnauer) performing horrible experiments on patients. Years later, a woman known only as Jane Doe (Cheryl Lawson, looking great in a nipple hugging baby-tee and panties) comes to the mental facility. However, Dr. Ramzi has returned from the dead-as has a horde of zombies. Review: Released to video in 1989 (complete with an awesome VHS cover with light up eyes), "The Dead Pit" was one of the last notable independent zombie movies for a while (well, until people decided to stop using camcorders to make zombie movies, but hey), and was the first movie from Brett Leonard. It has since garnered something of a cult following, with some claiming that it's a lost classic, while others calling it one of the worst zombie movie ever made. To tell the truth, it's neither. For one thing, the acting (with the exception of Slate and Gochnauer) ranges from over the top, to just forgettable. As hot as Lawson may be, she can't act to save her life, though she at least seems to be trying. While the movie is largely played straight, it's attempts at humor are poor at best, with Ramzi spouting dreadful one-liners that making him look like a D-Grade Freddy. Also, it takes an hour for the dead to get to business. When the dead do rise however, the movie picks up considerably. While not the goriest zombie movie, we get some choice bits: brains are torn out and eaten with relish, brains receive acupuncture, a heart is torn out, a scalpel is shoved up a nurse's nose, and zombies melt into puddles of goo. Also, the dead can only be killed with Holy Water in this movie, which makes for an original twist. The score by Dan Wyman is a little dated, but fits the mood perfectly, and contains some genuinely unnerving moments. "The Dead Pit" is worth a rental at least, though hardcore devotees to horror have seen better. If anything, it's a nice time waster, though for a movie that loves to show brains, it doesn't have much brains on it's own. Brett Leonard would go on to direct The Lawnmower Man, Hideaway, Virtuosity, Man-Thing, and the underrated Feed. His latest is the new Highlander movie. Rating: 6/10 It's like a bag of Twizzlers-not bad, but you won't remember it. Tomorrow's Movie: Vengence of the Zombies

That was Jack Hill's first movie too. Dude went on to do Foxy Brown, Switchblade Sisters, and Coffey. He's a winner in my eyes.
