LEGENDS - Friday the 13th Fan Film

Legends - a Friday the 13th fan film by Godbout Entertainment. I have watched just about every Friday the 13th fan film out there. Some are serious attempts to produced a film that pays homage to the original series, complete with developed characters and original story line. Others range from comedic to just plain silly. Who wouldn't want to create a film of their own using one of horror's most iconic villians? I applaud all of these filmmakers' efforts and look forward to seeing more.

Legends, written and directed by Gerald J. Godbout III, tells the story of Michael, a writer who finds himself suffering from writer's block. His sister and some friends convince him to go camping for the weekend. They hope that some fresh air will do him so good, maybe even inspire him. What starts out as a fun trip soon turns to terror as they discover they are trapped in what they thought was only a movie.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film and highly recommend it.

MOVIE QUOTE FRIDAYS!

I have decided to make Fridays movie quote day. Every Friday I will pick some of my favorite horror movie quotes to share with you. With as many horror movies out there, I am not too worried about running out of quotes. So here goes....

"Good, Bad - I'm the guy with the gun!"
Ash, Army of Darkness (1992)

"Welcome to my world, bitch. I should warn you, princess - the first time tends to get a little messy."

"You're going to need a bigger boat"
Chief Brody, Jaws (1975)

DEAD CITY - A must read for zombie fans!

I have always had a love for books. I get it from my late grandmother. As much as I enjoy sitting down and watching a good film, nothing quite compares to time spent reading a well-written book.

A novel that is written well, I believe, should allow the reader to develop cinematic images in their head while reading. Dead City is a fantastically written book. The story vividly developed in my head as if it were projected on a movie screen.

Joe McKinney captures the true essence of what makes a truly good zombie story. I found it quite entertaining and difficult to put this one down; each page pulling me further into the story.

You have all of the usual elements of a zombie tale: plenty of gore, the apocalyptic world, hords of relentless blood-thirsty zombies, and one or more main characters fighting to survive. What makes this book stand out from the flood of zombie novels that have sprung up over the last few years is the depth to which McKinney develops the main character, Eddie Hudson, and his journey throughout the novel.

Just an average, regular guy working as a police officer during the late-night shift, he soon finds himself in a fight for survival as he struggles to make it back to his wife and son. We are introduced to several minor characters during his journey and easily grow to like Eddie and root for him as we read further.

We learn that the Texas Gulf Coast has been battered by five cataclysmic hurricanes in a few short weeks. Thousands are dead or dying. Amid the wreckage, a deadly virus is spreading. The dead are coming back to life with an insatiable hunger for human flesh and within hours the entire state of Texas is at its mercy. Police Officer Eddie Hudson witnesses the destruction of his city as it is overrun by an army of living dead. Along with a small group of survivors, he is determined to fight the undead to make it back to his family. Eddie knows the odds don't look good. He knows he has to find a way to destroy these zombies, to stop the virus...but what price will he have to pay?

McKinney has a talent for spinning an interesting tale and character development. I look forward to reading more from this author.

"When the man I had just beanbagged stood up, turned, and faced me again, I felt my heart sink down into my stomach. People just don't do that." - pg. 21

PLANET TERROR - Entertaining & Hilariously Over-the-Top!

PLANET TERROR - Released 2007
Written & Directed by Robert Rodriguez
Starring Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Michael Biehn, Jeff Fahey, Josh Brolin, Marley Shelton.
105 Minutes
www.grindhousemovie.net

Entertaining and hilariously over-the-top! From the opening title sequence with Rose McGowan's sexy dance routine to the end credits, this film kicks some serious ass. I have been a fan of Rodriguez since El Mariachi. His creativity never ceases to amaze me. This film is action-packed, full of slick wit, and serves up gruesome zombies and plenty of gore. Stylistically, Rodriguez has captured the grindhouse feel with perfection. He has created not only some wonderful effects, but a entertaining story with wonderfully developed characters.

Cast of characters include a stripper (who loses her leg early on in the film and has numerous 'useless' talents), her shady mechanic ex-boyfriend, a strong-willed doctor and her secret girlfriend, the local sheriff, and many more. Look for brief appearances by Bruce Willis and Stacy Ferguson. Rodriguez's son, Rebel, plays the roll of Tony Block - the son of the two doctors.

Rodriguez's real-life personal physician, Felix Sabates, plays Dr. Flix and his real estate agent, Skip Reissig, plays the strip-club owner Skip. As always with any of Rodriguez's films, the audio commentary is a must.

An experimental bio-nerve gas is accidentally released at a remote military base. Those exposed to it turn into flesh-eating zombies. Our motley band of survivors must fight to stay alive and to save the world.

Dr. Dakota Block: Hi, Joe. I'm going to give you a very strong anesthetic, so you won't feel anything during the procedure. These are my friends. My yellow friend is just to take the sting off. My blue friend you'll barely feel. That means my yellow friend is already taking effect. See how fast my friends work? And after my red-headed friend, you'll never see me again.
