Bite (2015)
Once Bitten...
Allow me to say that I enjoyed this film right from the start - pretty girls, lots of fun in the sun, swimming in infested waters, extremely bad decisions by characters...it has it all! We know the story - girls go to Costa Rica, one is bitten by something, she comes home and changes into a nasty beasty. The make-up is great, the production design not bad and the acting better than most films in this genre. I only have two questions for the writers - Why does the fiancé not once question the disappearance of his mother whom he is meant to be so close to...and why would anyone even step over the threshold of that apartment when they see all those clingy cobweb things and the glistening eggs (that look like bubble bath capsules btw!), let alone go into the apartment and walk deeper and deeper into the dreadful stench and oozing slime? Apart from the above, this film isn't too bad and can hold its own in the B-grade body-horror film market.
The Funhouse Massacre (2015)
Great Fun...
What a fun film! Loads of blood and guts, terrible acting (in the best possible way!) and you even get to see a naked breast(!!) I think a lot of people are going to miss the point of this movie - it's one big homage to the old slasher/80's teen horror genre. There are so many in-jokes and references to other films...in fact (I think) this is a remake of a film from 1981! I was expecting a low-budget but entertaining little movie, but never did I think it would be such a great roller-coaster ride of ripped heads and gruesome gore , all served up in almost comic-book style.The practical make-up FX are great, if a little OTT (more 80's influence), the lighting is brilliant and the sets are really clever (very realistic fun-house type set up). I review loads of movies in my Facebook group "Jaded Horror Hound" so I am not easily impressed, but I was really entertained and amused by this film. If you like your horror with a twist of camp and a dash of retro, this is the film for you!
