I’m trying to think. Would losing a pinky toe be so bad? I mean, its friggen tiny down there… on my foot. An added appendage. An extra ugly piece of bone and skin that reminds me of that wagging tail on Jason Alexander from Shallow Hal. (Damn that thing still gives me nightmares!) And then I remember stubbing my toe on the bathroom door a couple weeks ago, and the answer becomes clear. “Hell yeah, it’s bad!” Hurts just thinking about it too!
But not Hack/Slash. NosirreeBob. This hear comic book is the goods. As we begin with one of our heroes, Cassie Hack, getting her toes cut off by a maniacal psychotherapist that tore his skin off a la Frank from Hellraiser, I learn there’s something magical going on here. Not the fact that I can definitely feel the pain as another toe gets sawed off, but the fact that the story tells it straight like it were the real deal. An autobiography if you will, about a girl that had bad parents with good intentions. A loner that found a true friend amongst the outcasts. A world that resembles reality, but roots in the supernatural and eerie. Hack/Slash covers the basis of good storytelling mixed in with guilty pleasures. And at this rate, it’s written on the chalk board as addictive like sex on a bed of chocolate while money spits out of the pillow case as you ride the high. Yes, folks, like Andre 3000 says, “I think I’m in love… LOOOOVE… again.”

“Hostel: Part Two” picks up directly from the final shot of its predecessor with Paxton (Jay Hernandez) waking up onboard a commuter train a few fingers shy of a handful. He’s then transported to a hospital where the viewer is given a refresher of what happened in the first film
BIG BAD WOLF will be hitting DVD June 5th by Screen Media and just finished its limited theatrical run in Los Angeles last weekend when it premiered at the Fine Arts Theater. And for those of you who haven’t heard of this nasty little treat, it is a strong sexual meditation on the lycanthrope folklore similar to the Brother Grimm’s tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” with its warning of sexual predators.

BUG is not a horror film. At least not a conventional one. There is no masked baddie to outrun, no one to torture our heroes slowly. No plague, no undead, not even very much in the way of ill will. With the exception of an abusive husband, no one really means anyone any harm and everyone is trying to look out for everyone else. What’s the all encompassing dread that William Friedkin builds BUG around?

These fun flicks also feature an abundance of splashy carnage and creative originality. Let the bloodshed begin!!!

The Masters of Horror Season One Box Set design has been released. It appears to be a crypt and my guess is that you simply open the top to take out the DVD cases. Not much more has been shown or announced, but you can expect to see this released by Anchor Bay on August 28th.
