Karmalink

Cambodian sci-fi set in the near future. 13-year-old Leng Heng lives in a shanty town in Phnom Penh, but is about to lose his home so the rich can develop the area. Luckily though, Leng Heng can dream about his past lives, and remembers burying a stolen golden Buddha statue somewhere close by. He enlists…

The Masque of the Red Death

Just a great movie. Over half a century on, it still holds up. The score, the set design, the costume, the scares, Vincent Price’s performance, all fantastic. I remember when I watched this as a wean, it always scared me the old woman rolling over all bloody, her eyes wild. It’s still ghastly now. This…

Mekong 2030

What to say about Mekong 2030? It is beautiful. Like, gorgeous. Worth the price of the ticket alone just visually. Mekong 2030 is 5 short stories centred on the Mekong River. Now, maybe you know more than me, but I didn’t have a scoob about the Mekong River before this movie. It’s fucking massive, stretching…

Luz: The Flower of Evil

Beautiful waffle. The basic plot outline is a mad bam preacher has been kidnapping blond haired, blue-eyed boys and claiming they are Jesus returned. When they fail to live up to his Messianic standards, he declares them demons disguised as Christ, kills them and buries them in the yard. No one in his brainwashed cult…

Spookies

I’d never seen Spookies. A brilliant/awful sub-classic 80s horror that sits on the weirdness scale somewhere between Phantasm and Troll 2. Watching this will remind you just how accurate Garth Merenghi really is. Spookies starts with two cars, one of cool kids, one of squares, getting lost and deciding to party in an old abandoned…

Murder Me, Monster

Murder Me, Monster is a whole pile of nothing. The only interesting scene is when they finally find the monster and it has a prehensile dick for a tail and a fanny for a face. The main character fist fucks the monster’s face while it bums him with its tail. Nothing else happens in the…

Vampire Clay

Just out of Vampire Clay, which does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a Japanese movie about man-eating clay, and that’s all you really need to know. It’s got the weird silliness and creepiness of Round The Twist, with aspirations to the special effects of something like The Thing or Evil Dead. It…
