In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Terrifier 2 OK/G
Terrifier is a
film that was better the second time.
You can read my review for it in here---https://vampireclown82.blogspot.com/2018/06/mooby-reviews-61318.html. I probably expected too much from it the
first time, but it’s really just a short, mean-spirited bloodbath, and what
more could you possibly desire from an evil clown flick? Art the Clown is one sadistic MFer and
certainly has even more fun brutally slaughtering people in this sequel that’s
almost an hour longer (138-minutes, to be exact; the first one was roughly
84). It picks up right after its
predecessor, taking place on and around Halloween. I don’t know if you heard of complaints that
this movie was too violent; well, it’s definitely gory, but very over-the-top
(much like the first), meaning you know you’re watching a movie. Trust me, all the violent films I’ve seen in
my lifetime, I’ve seen ones that were much more nauseating. It surely tops the first one in the gore
department though, as gory as that one was.
True horror fans are the ones this was made for to begin with, as well
as those that are even somewhat fans of the last one (needless to say, like always,
why would you want to watch a sequel to a movie you didn’t see, or like?). Some parts may be a little too over-the-top,
and the runtime does make it slightly feel drawn out, but it’s generally a fun
sequel (I feel it may age better with more viewings, like its predecessor). Oh, and this is yet another film wherein
someone is watching the original Night of
the Living Dead! 11/13/2022
Bonus review:
The Sawyer Massacre OK
Fan film available on YouTube that’s a prequel to Tobe
Hooper’s original 1974 Texas Chainsaw
Massacre, taking place in 1965. Fan
films are exactly what they say---films made by fans often without studio
help. You can check out my one blog
entry covering a bunch of Friday the 13th
fan films here---https://vampireclown82.blogspot.com/2021/08/friday-13th-fan-films.html
(you’ll also see links for other fan films).
The original Texas Chainsaw
Massacre is one of my favorite movies, so of course I was curious about
this fan film available for free after seeing it mentioned via Rue Morgue
news. It entails different groups of
people being led to the rural farmhouse in the middle of nowhere where danger in
the form of Leatherface awaits. There
are several editing issues, the acting isn’t always the greatest, and many
times it feels like a remake (and why will cars still only start when
convenient in horror flicks?!!), but it really isn’t too, too bad (far from
great) for a fan film made in 2022. I
enjoyed it more than many Texas imitators
and even some of the sequels/prequels/whatever.
There is gore too; yes, I know the original Texas doesn’t really have any of the red stuff, but it doesn’t make
it any less harrowing and effective. I
don’t think any film in this particular cinematic universe will ever top Tobe
Hooper’s original (48 years later it is still one of the best), but if you’re
looking for a free film to watch in this specific universe, it really isn’t
too, too bad, like I said. 11/15/2022
Other movies I've seen and their ratings (see above):
The Boys Club >>>OK
Incarnation (2016) >>>OK
The Last Thing Mary
Saw >>>B
