MANIAC COP
What a fucked up lil' movie. It practically has all the same beats as Friday the Thirteenth but if Jason died in a shooting. I think if you like early slashers, you'd like this one. Story-wise, its about what you'd expect. I don't think anyone goes into a slasher movie for the story, though. Kills were a little boring, but the special effects weren't half bad. Loved his billy club sword that was awesome as fuck.
NEVER HIKE ALONE (2017)
I'd feel bad if I said anything negative about this movie cuz I can tell it is a monumental labour of love. You gotta respect the genre love in this one. A fairly good found footage movie as well. Loved how much they played with the camera angles. I could almost never get into found footage because it's probably the most sludge ridden genre of horror; Besides slasher. Can't go wrong with a final boy movie. I know this series has a bunch of sequels, remakes, demakes, etc. (in true slasher franchise fashion), but I think i'm just gonna watch the 2017 one. I'm not a sequels guy. Except Bladerunner.
JASON X
This movie sucked buttcheek. The sheer amount of books that Jason X has is crazy. Did you know in one they extract his robo sperm to make a fucked up clone? Trash cinema is fucked.
Yumeji Tanima’s Scream Theater (谷間夢路の絶叫劇場)
Everyone talks about how the archaic visuals heighten this OVA and make it scarier, but I don't see it. It's not any more uncanny or unnerving to me. The visuals are basically a slideshow with some less than stellar animation thrown in occasionally. The visuals honestly dampened it for me. The gradient smooth art style is pretty scary, though.
Im gonna review both of the parts separately
1. My Boyfriend is A Zombie
This college kid fell in love with a little girl he met in the afterlife? Crazy shit. This one felt like a Hideshi Hino, my favorite horror author, writing; Simplistic story, grotesque visuals, and nobody is happy at the end except grub boy. I liked how nasty and melty the zombie was; That's pretty on par with how actual rot looks. This movie has some amazing texture work sometimes.
2. Graveyard Secrets
The little fucking Pubert aliens slaughtered me. So Twilight Zone. Wouldn't that be fucked up if that happened? Anyway, i'm Rod Sterling.
