I was surprised at how good that was to watch on the big screen when I went to the Darkside In Riverside event.

The music stood out so much more. Really a great experience.

watching a Blu-ray of Zombie 2: The Dead are Among Us that I just opened for the first time. This has always been a favorite of mine.

The Devil Rides Out, 1968. Meh. I thought it was gonna be better than this. Not enough Devil worshipping. C-, unless the last 20 minutes gets better.

Watching Spencer Tracy's only horror movie, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941).

The 1931 version was pretty damn solid upon revisiting it, and despite Tracy, I don't have exceptionally high hopes for this version.

Checking out Slaughter Studios. I remember seeing the cover a lot back when there were still video rental stores everywhere, but never picked it up.

The narrator's fake British/Old American accent is annoying the piss out of me. James Marsden's accent in Hocus Pocus was better, and that was a comedy.

If yer gonna put comedy in your horror movie, make sure it's funny. This feels like a lesser/PG13 version of Hatchet's comedy.

I thought Candace looked familiar. That's old-90's skinamax starlette Lorissa McComas :P

If there were more nudity, this could pass as a Skinamax flick, but there just isn't enough. This movie doesn't know what it wants to be.

And don't get me wrong, there's nudity. Lorissa has been nude 3 times. Most of it's just for awkward comedy.

Ollie manages to be an even worse horny Indian stereotype than Kal Penn's Taj
