The Descent - Part 2 (2009): I expected a better sequel. It was not bad, but it was nothing special. I like that they kept the previous cast and some of the characters returned. The ending was dumb imho and made me real sad. I think that you can't really get this movie without having seen the first one, so I recommend this only to "hardcore" fans of the first part.

Jailhouse Wardress - pretty boring and sometimes even annoying exploitation about a prison where women are forced to have sex with guards etc. While you would expect victims in the prison, some of the women really make the impression of liking it there. Some minor action, lots of sex and bad storyline. A bad, bad movie. If you're into bad movies this might be for you, Expect a very bad WIP movie and you're spot on.

Alien Dead - almost the first movie ever directed by Fred Olen Ray, the man who brought us Star Slammer, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers and Attack of the 60 foot Centerfolds. A swamp is out of alligators and still people get killed. Well, it's because there are some sort of underwater zombies out there! The alien part in the title never gets across, but the atmosphere is nice and campy and the zombies look real fake. If you're into cult or bad movies, this is for you.

Blackenstein - well, this is not the black Frankenstein as they state on the titleframe. The black guy who becomes a monster isn't even dead before he does so, and thus this is not really Frankenstein. The movie is quite bad, sometimes a bit long winding and the plot is very predictable. The gore is so-so. I only recommend this to hardcore fans of the blaxploitation genre.

High Plains Invaders - I was expecting a CGI shitfest, but I was pleasantly surprised. Like in Wyvern, the CGI was bearable and it wasn't overdone, ie, there were many scenes without it. The storyline was not very surprising (and there are some inconsistencies in how you can shoot the invaders), but the acting was good, the setting was nice and overall I enjoyed this pretty much. Recommended.

Tale of a Vampire - British vampire tale which has its charms, but also didn't really entertain me. The story is good, about a vampire with a lost love and he is now looking for it. Did he already find it? Acting is good, especially Sands is in great shape. But, a lack of action and aslo of gore (the blood is only used in small bits) prevented this from being a classic for me. It is almost like the director wanted to make an arty vampirefilm. So recommended for story and acting, but if you want some action, skip this one.

The Bride of Frankenstein - nice classic, I especially liked the short part at the beginning, where we see Mary Shelley tell the story to Lord Byron and another guy. The rest of the movie was not really new, although I had not seen this film. In the movie with Kenneth Branagh some things are different, and actually I liked that version better. It was more horrific. Especially the wife-thing. Still, this is a nice classic. I rate this one higher than Dracula, but lower than The Wolf-Man.

Wrong Turn - I felt like watching a movie with a "five friends are going on vacation in the wilderness" theme, so I ended up watching this one. This has been done so many times, starting with The Hills Have Eyes, I can't count the number of movies which handle this theme. I must say though, that Wrong Turn is a nice version of the story. How everyone gets together in the film is quite original, the disappearing starts pretty soon and tension is building from that moment on. The atmosphere wasn't gripping, but still I liked the way this story developed. Eliza looks nice and the culprits are really evil and not too dumb. Choose this one over Devil's Rejects if you get the chance. I recommend this mildly, not because it is original, but because it is well done.

The Being - nice monster flick with contamination theme. Nice atmosphere, real 80s stuff. The monter itself is only in its full glory near the end and it is marvellous. I just loved it. The characters in this movie are only a tiny bit cliche, so therefore the film is quite interesting. Recommended, especially for atmosphere and old school monster stuff.

Requiem for a Vampire - Rollin, did he ever make a fast moving film? While watching his products, I always get the urge to use my ffwd button. I did so several times during this one, although it was better than The Nude Vampire (not so hard). Until now, I find his vampire films very repetitive and slow paced. This makes them boring to watch. I have seen some other Rollin films, like Zombie Lkae, and they weren't so bad. So I guess it is just my bad luck that he likes vampires so much.

The Terror - this is the film with Paris Hilton, well, for the first 25 minutes that is. She gets highly commercialised with this film so this is a nice example on how to fool the public: buy this DVD, it has Paris Hilton! After I had stopped laughing about this, I noticed that some of the actors really were trying to do a good job, so that's kudos to them. Still, this is not a very good movie. The attempt is well done, though, so I hope Andrew Green gets some money to make another movie. If he does better at that one, it might turn out as a good horror. Everyone on imdb goes crazy about Hiltons bad acting etc, but it is a shame they overlook some of the not so bad stuff. So... it is not really that superbad, but not worth a recommendation either.

The Phantom of the Opera - the classic film, in colour. Lots of opera music, nice story. The jokes are a bit old, which isn't surprising. I liked this film. I only knew the story from hearsay and it was played out pretty well. As soon as I saw the guy who later becomes the phantom, I knew it was him, but that is often the case in older movies. This is actually more a thriller than a horror, but it is one of the better classics I have seen. Recommended.

The Dungeonmaster - cheesefest! Starting out a bit boring, soon a dream starts and the devil comes out to challenge our familyman/hero for seven tasks he has to complete. Familyman/hero keeps using his armcomputer and thus goes freewheeling through all challenges. He keeps meeting the weirdest monsters, which makes this movie rock if you like bad movies. So, a recommendation for those fans, and a warning for everyone else.

The Room - yes, this was also bad. But, I noticed I only had fun when Wiseau entered the screen. His pathetic voice and his seriously overdone acting made me laugh, but all other actors, although not good, didn't give me so much pleasure. The story is very boring and it takes place at like 3 locations. Of course this will be funny for some, too. I agree this is a bad film, but it doesn't surpass Plan 9 and other bad flicks, because it lacks one of the greatest ways to be a bad movie: bad special effects. Some things were fun, but by far not everything. Mildly recommended for bad moviefans, just be warned that you won't see any effects.

Blood Night - it took a while to get this film going, but when it did, it became an enjoyable experience. Story is kind of cliche, but it has a nice twist, although it lacks a bit in explanation. It just is there at a certain point. Acting is nice, atmosphere is OK. Gore is great, the colour effects were a bit overdone. All in all, I hope that Frank Sabatella keeps making horror movies and that he will get a bit better at it. That way he could be a nice addition to the genre. Recommended.

Are you talking about Ragewar aka. The Dungeonmaster? It looks quite interessting.

Yesterday I saw:

Amok Train (1989): Nice SBiG masterpiece. A group of students are traveling to Yugoslavia to learn about foreign cultures. A satanic professor awaits them and lures them into a trap. Some of them escape on a train, which is then possessed by satan (I think). The gore in this movie is really nice. The students die in very creative and bloody ways. If you enjoy bad movies, I really recommend this movie. I must point out the very first death scene of a student's mother. Her taxi cab is driving behind a truck transporting metal tubes. The truck suddenly applies the brakes and one of the metal tubes is flying backwards (!) through the taxi cab's window killing the woman. Awesome goof.

Yes, I am: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089060/

I'm gonna look for this Amok Train you're talking about

Last weekend I saw:

The Awful Dr Orloff - classic, but also quite gory for its time. And it has tits, which was quite shocking way back then. Right now it is just one of those Franco films you must have seen once in your life. It has all Franco elements, albeit a bit in their infancy. Enjoyable, just don't look for a fast paced action flick with loads of gore. Mildly recommended.

Bloodgnome - hahaha, I laughed my ass off a few times while watching this one. The story is really weird: there is this BDSM mistress who keeps a monster in her house. The monster spawns gnomes which have a big bloodlust. They also make some sort of drugs, which is sold by the mistress. When several people start to disappear from the BDSM scene (apparently Elandra had never heard of the phrase "don't piss in your own pool"), the police starts tracking her down, especially the crime scene photographer, who can see the gnomes woith his camera (they are invisible for everyone else). Near the end Julie Strain comes in to share the fun of a bloody BDSM party. Highly recommended for bad moviefans.

Voodoo Moon - Charisma Carpenter´s brother is a somewhat melodramatic guy who fights off evil demons. Everytime he wins, but the demon returns even stronger (it is never explained why he doesn't just die) all the time. Now Cole and his sister have to return to their village of birth, together with some people Cole has saved from the demon earlier. It only gets really exciting near the end, when we see the final fight, which goes hand in hand with some incredibly stupid sfx. The rest of this film is a bit over the top on the drama part: oh, oh, what a heavy life. Never have to work or do a normal job, because your superpowers can fight off demons. You win everytime, but still you look like you're depressed for all eternity. Bwerk. It is not really worth the 90 minutes, although it can be enjoyed with a good case of beer.

The Gruesome Twosome - heh, I liked this Lewis, although of course it was slow. The gore is quite intense, next to disturbing, if it wasn't for the obviously moving eyes of the victim. The story is Ok too, although I thought the main girl character was quite annoying in her behaviour. I'd have dumped her if I was Dave. The opening scene is indeed weird, with two dolls talking to each other about the plot of the film. Recommended.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer - wow, at first I thought wth is this, but soon after I got sucked into it. I actually don't like serial killers so much, they are too close to the thriller genre for me, but this film was great. In fact you really don't see that much killing going on, instead you get a look inside Henry's life and also the normal stuff he does. Because now you see that he is not raving mad, but has some moral standrads too, it gets a bit disturbing: serial killers can be quite normal on the outside, too. I was amazed by the ending, at first I thought nothing of it, but after half an hour it hit me: that was

Spoiler:

the girl who loved him

Wow. Highly recommended.

Transylmania - oww, my brain hurts! This is a very dumb movie. It is from the same producers as Beerfest. Think shitfilms like Freddie got Fingered, American Pie, Eurotrip and the likes and then moix some vampires in. There are a few hot babes, but that's all which has it going for itself. All the rest assumes I have but a few braincells amnd can barely follow a story or understand more intelligent jokes than fart-humour. Watch this only as a last film of a marathon night of at least 6-8 films and you might survive.

This may be a bit random but here it goes...
Three nights ago I watched one of my favorite shows, this show is one of the few "guilty pleasure" shows that I watch, I follow this one in particular because I started watching it when I was a child from the first episode onward. So I am watching the show and they start bleeping names out of the episode, it is annoying but I think nothing of it. Then I reach the end of the episode and the last five minutes is completely bleeped out. The show I am talking about is South Park. So because I make a conscious effort not to follow the news here in my country to the betterment of my own life (I hate fear mongering), I didn't hear that a website in New York blatantly threatened the lives of creators along with posting descriptions of where they live and work, plus the addresses of said locations. I am rather annoyed and disturbed by this. It is an out right threat against freedom of speech. The right that allows the movies that we all watch and discuss here at Dead Donkey to be made. I am a big believer in freedom of speech and expression.
I honestly believe if you like the show South Park don't back away from it under the banner of fear. Stand next to it and support it because no matter what they say, we will still keep saying what we want because that is our right as individuals. What I watched last night was a whole lotta South Park and I am watching more right now as I type this. It basically goes like this, if I am pissed off I want to be able to say so and I would even if it was against the law.

@SlowIrishBud: I agree. I think it's a shame that it even got censored. It is so ultimately backward to criticise stuff like this, if you can't handle criticism, try a hermit's lifestyle.

Last Friday I went to Imagine filmfestival and I watched the following films:

La Horde - French zombieflick. It's kind of fast paced, it has loads of (zombie)action, but still it isn't a great movie. Characters are nice but also a bit cliche and superficial. The storyline is OK, cinematography is good, although they stole some ideas from REC (shot down the stairs). There is a good portion of humour, I had fun watching it. The CGI blood spoiled a lot for me as it looked very ugly and out of place. The scene you will see on the movieposter is awesome if you forget about the CGI blood. To conclude: nice movie, nothing really special but way better as those handycam zombieflicks and also way better than the also French movie Mutants. Recommended for zombiefans.

Best Worst Movie - documentary on Troll 2, presumable the worst movie ever made. In this documentary we meet almost the entire cast, some of the crew and the riter and director of Troll 2.The hilarious thing about it is that most of the actors realise they have been part of making a total turd, but the director is not. On conventions where the actors for example tell the audience that they didn't even have full scripts, the director gets mad and shouts that the actors are lying bastards. In interviews the actors admit that this movie was so bad, they advised anyone they knew to not watch it, while the director still thinks he made a masterpiece. I also had a great time listening to the scriptwriter (the director's wife) saying she wrote this script because she was angry about the fact that a lot of her friends became vegetarians. Some of the actors aren't totally OK in the head, like the owner of the general store, who turns out to be a mental patient on parole, and the mother of the family who has some kind of phobia and therefore can't come out of her house. Highly recommended, even if you haven't seen Troll 2.

Troll 2 - I had seen this one several times already, but the last time was a few years ago and I had never seen this in the cinema before. It was a great experience. I can only say that if you haven't seen this movie, go watch it now. If you like horror or not, if you like bad movies or not, this film is a treat for all. If you won't laugh one time during this movie, I will get you a case of beer to make up for the 93 lost minutes of your life, but I bet I won't have to.

When I came home I watched

Ice Queen - bad movie, for Troll 2 fans, I read. It isn't as hilarious as Troll 2, but it does have some nice SBiG stuff in it, like the scientist who explains that the Ice Queen only functions at very low temperatures and then says it has been in a cryogenic pause for thousnads of years (yes, you are right, this is impossible). The monster itself looks awesome, but is not very sophisticated, some screams and some clawings, that's it. Characters are OK, I liked the story about the guy messing up with his girlfriend royally. It's nice if you like bad movies, so a recommendation to those fans.

Well, I forgot to post here for a while again, so here goes:

Amok Train - yeah well, I enjoyed this one. There a re SO many things going wrong in this movie, it is next to unbelievable. Continuity is something this director/editor both failed at in filmmaker's highshool several times, bevcause they make a complete mess out of this. Wet people getting dry in seconds, splatter making the character soaked but not the wall it was standing in front of, one time they're looking for a girl and she just suddenly is there (it looks like a minute or so was cut, so sudden was the change). Oh, and the Serbian conductor can't speak English, until the moment he gets spoken to in Serbian, THEN all of a sudden he CAN speak English. Well, enough to be enjoyed by bad moviefans. If reading this annoys the hell out of you, then don't watch this movie.

Chainsaw Cheerleaders - goth girl gets weird punishment: she has to go to cheerleader camp, with some no brainer cheerleaders who have a few pair of socks stuffed into their bras (the difference between them wearing the bra and not wearing it is quite noticeable) to teach her how to cheer correctly. There is also some stupid witch story playting in the background. It has a lot of ingredients for a highschool shoulder camera bad movie, and the humour and the scares don't escape this level. The make-up is so amateuristic that even a blind guy could see its fakeness. Again, this is only for bad moviefans.

Brain Damage - nice 80s flick with a talking, penis-shaped alien being which provides its host with juice and in turn wants to eat brains. This sounds really bad, but it only partially is. Some effects are quite good, others are very fake. Some parts of the storyline are good, others are gapfillers. So this movie is enjoyable, with enough stuff for bad moviefans to go on, but if you're looking for something to blow you away, choose a different movie.

Evil Angel - this 2 hour film is a bit too much. It gets boring very soon. I had to watch it a second time because I fell asleep during the first (not only the film's fault, btw). It doesn't take long for the viewer to figure out how this ghost-thing is going, and then it just keeps going until the 120 minutes are full. The enidng is quite predictable, and it could have been done in a way shorter version, so I wouldn't have suffered for so long. If you really like ghosts/demons (because this ghost really has a demonlike appearance) and you have two spare hours you might give it a try, but for all others: next movie, please.

Meat Weed America - yes, Lloyd Kaufman, so I know what I'm in for. That's why I could bear with most of it this time. Again there is this mostly incompetent director who thinks he can shoot some celluloid and then people will enjoy it. Well, the thrills are very cheap (bad drug humour and lots of women in sexy outfits) and the story is way too simple. There is some shock value, with a circumcision and some other gross stuff. Think Terror Firmer. I'm still not sure what kind of movie this was. If comedy: I didn't laugh. If horror: I wasn't scared. If you're into Troma supported movies, check it out. Since there are even better Troma movies, I'd advise everyone to look for those instead of this one.

Watching movies goes faster than posting here lately

The Ogre - mmm, it took me a while to find this flick on imdb, turns out to be an episode from Brivido Giallo. Well, onto the film. It has a nice atmosphere, which is its strongpoint. Acting is OK, music is a bit annoying, when you start hearing the same melody over and aover AGAIN, then it isn't scary anymore, Mr Bava, it starts to annoy people. Stoiryline is OK, the monster is actually the most scary when it is till in its cocoon, because it is somewhat alien-like. When it's out it is just a guy in a suit with an ugly mask. Not scary at all. So a big plus for atmosphere, the rest is quite average.

Killing Spree - on the cover it says 75 minutes, but it turns out to be 90. This was a nice low budget excperience, in the bad movie kind of way. Some wooden acting, especially when it comes to dialogues, a weird voice over, and a storyline which evolves so slowly, that the apotheosis has to be done in 10 minutes because otherwise the film has ended without it. A guy is very possessive and jealous regarding his wife. He has to work all day everyday because of moneyproblems. He wants her to stay home because he isn't very modern or open minded, and he starts thinking that she cheats on him everyday, sometimes with several guys. So he starts killing them off. In the end they come back to take revenge on him, but he quickly kills himself. End. I oaughed a few times because there were stupid things going on like the superfake head he chops off and throws at his friend. Recommended for bad moviefans.

Evilution - I really liked this one. Seeing the poster I expected the worst, but it started out nicely in an army base in Iraq and then the story evolves naturally and it takes the viewer back to the US where the only survivor of an accident at the Iraq base now lives in a crumbling apartment where he has to deal with Mexican gangsters all the time. The army chases him because he possesses a biological weapon. By the time they find him, it has broke loose already, turning people into zombies. It is a nice film, I didn't see any goofs, the effects look good and it has a sexy Sandra Ramírez. Recommended.

The Last Dinosaur - adventure with a lost patch of prehisry covered under ice in Antarctica. I have seen several of these films before, so the story was nothing new. Again the actors are trying their best to make something of it, but the film suffers heavily from stupid effects. For bad moviefans that is OK, they will love the miniature helicopter landing on the cardboard model of a platform. They will cheer at the wooden movements of the dinosaurs, because there isn't just one like the title wants you to believe, but there are several, one even looking worse than the other. So if you like bad movies, pick this one, but if you don't, continue with a different film.

Dahmer - biopic about the serial killer with the same name. It tries to portray Dahmer in a complete way, so they're not only filming his killing actions, but also show him working in the chocolate factory and searching for victims (whic sometimes takes a lot of time). They even try to add some emotional twist to his otherwise quite boring life. I liked it, these tries, but they fail in the end. The film is long and since the makers don't succeed in making it interesting enough, it gets boring. It felt stupid that in the end we see Jeffrey Dahmer just walk around in a forest, and then we see a text telling us about his demise. It was kind of dumb. Either make an ending where we can see how it all ended for him (how he gets caught etc, we have to guess now) or make it so that it ends in the middle of some violent action. But not this way, this was wrong. Skip it.

Sometimes They Come Back ...For More - where the sequel (STCB ...Again) was indeed a sequel, this one has nothing to do with the storyline from the first two films. Nothing. It is set in an Antarctic science station, where dead people rise up again to kill for Satan. It is in order to let Satan return to earth to reign supreme (yawn). It is not scary, there is a lack of atmosphere and even the twist didn't move me. It wasn't like I wasn't surprised, I just didn't care. Another twist was very predictable and so this movie ended and I will put it away on a shelf, never to watch it again. Avoid.

Creepozoids - so I hopefd that this flick would give me some pleasure. And it did. It has a post-apocalyptic setting, but all it does is confine the characters to the underground shelter they just found, as there are acid rains outside. Well, OK, suspense of disbelief, we'll say. After that, they're gonna try and make life a bit more comfortable, but there is also some alien-like monster around and it can spawn giant rats, for example. It is kind of hilarious. Linnea Quigley is not in her best acting shape, but of course she will change clothes a few times for our viewing pleasure. The so-so special effects round this one off. It is not a good movie, but very enjoyable. Recommended.

Hell's Highway (aka Detour) - asylum pic, but I'm not sure what they're ripping off now. Is it "The Hills Have Eyes"? Or is it "Wrong Turn"? In either case, it is kind of low budget and you can see that. It has nice looking chicks and I especially liked the short pants of Cashie. But, it is also very, very cliche. And dumb. There are the usual ingredients, like a vague idea to go somewhere, then a local warning them, then an accident and then the trouble starts: they disappear one by one. What I liked was the way the director tried to explain why the cannibals were behaving this way and I also liked the endfight, it was actually cleverer than you would ever expect from these kids after having seen them struggle with simple things for 75 minutes. If you feel like watching cannibal flicks like this, put this one on the bottom of the pile. There are much better films than this one.

It Came from beneath the Sea - 50s classic about a giant octopus attacking a nuclear submarine and then the westcoast of the USA. The same nuclear morale is in this film as in the early Gojira movies. Also the effects seem to be of the same level, with an obviously fake rubber octopus, grabbing a miniature ship. And there is this nice history error, when they're looking at a picture from a 16th or 17th century ship which gets dragged down by the octopus and the woman scientist says that it happened in the same age of the Vesuvius disasters (eeehm, that was in 79 AD). Oh, and there is an overly and needlessly complicated love affair going on. If you like movies with childish sfx, watch this one.

Live Evil - vampires are about to be extinct, because humans have polluted blood. This is a nice premise for a vampire flick, but it is flawed too, as it is explained that alcohol, drugs and diseases like diabetes are causing the blood pollution. And they say it like there were no diseases, alochol and/or drugs in the past. Still, the storyline develops in a nice way, with clans of vampires fighting each other over the last few clean humans, a guy dressed up like a priest doing some vampire hunting and the main couple of vampires with their own personal business. I enjoyed watching this, but it is not a very good movie, because they keep doing stupid stuff, like when the "priest" cuts off his own hand in a fight to prevent infection and then he puts in a cucifix and uses it as a weapon. The differences between vampires in this film and vampires "in pop culture" is nice, but it is also inconsistent, as the stuff with the crucifix shows. Mildly recommended for some brainless enjoyment.

Dorian Gray - I expected more horror in this film, so I was a bit disappointed. I was in for some devilish thing going on, and although it has its moments, this movie didn't do it for me. It all looks nice, and the acting is good. The story is pretty well known, but I thought they jumped a bit too much in the beginning, as it doesn't take very long for Dorian to become more evil. I also thought that the reaction to his rejection by his first girlfriend was a bit too much. The Victorian setting is nice, the film gives a nice picture of citylife in that era, but it also is a bit weirdly dated, as there are some references to World War I in the film, which is over ten years after the Victorian era ended. Well, don't expect any horror and this is kind of a good film.

The Gardener aka. Seeds of Evil (1975): This movie is about a gardener that turns every garden into a beautiful flower paradise. In the end it turns out that he is some kind of witch master. During the movie he is killing his employers one by one using poised flowers. This movie is so boring and devoid of any horror that it should really be avoided.

Pontypool (2008): This movie has a very original and strange idea. Some words of the English language are infected by a psychological virus that manifests in turning people crazy. They are referred to as zombies in some reviews, but this is not your typical type of zombie movie. The gore is very rare. Instead the movie takes place inside a radio station and manages to build up such a great tension by not showing you what is actually happening outside. I can recommend this for being very different from what we usually get to see as horror fans. The ending and especially the scene after the credits were quite unexpected for me.

King Kong - the 1933 version. It amazes me all the time that while watching these classics, the stories never get boring, even though you know them (almost) by heart. So also in King Kong, this was which got me hooked to the movie. Effects are 30s style, which made me smile, but then again it had a certain charm over it. I haven't seen any remakes of this, but of course I have seen spin-offs, as there are so many. Seeing the orignal now made me happy. Recommended.

Mega Piranha - this movie is wrong in so many aspects, it becomes hilarious. It starts with the tagline "They were created to save mankind. Something went wrong." Save mankind with mega piranhas? What kind of lunatic thinks of that? Well, this is only the beginning. In the entire movie, the piranhas are like Britneys boobs: they change size over time, sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller. Sometimes they even change in a shot, there is this little piranha jumping from the water to attack a house and all of a sudden it is as big as the house. Wow. The acting is amateuristic, and I can't get it why they chose some body builder to be an important diplomatic guy (actually the lead role): you often see him struggle to express an emotion other than looking tough. Also, why would Venezuela fear an anti-American coup, as they say in the beginning of the movie? It's not like Venezuela and the US are big buddies now, is it? While watching this, I was amazed by its stupidity and I laughed out loud a few times, making my gf come in and ask what I was laughing about all the time. If you like bad movies, this is a must see!

Ironmaster - Umberto Lenzi focuses on cavemen this time, but what they do is so reminiscent to other Italian fantasy flicks, that it could be Ator 5 if you glanced at it. Storyline is kind of cliche, and I laughed at the message of the movie "weapons are bad", because Lenzi and his colleagues live off violence. George Eastman isn't eating other people this time, instead he kills them all with his iron weapon (hence the title). There is a Hercules lookalike to stop him. Effects are shady and some acting is OK, some is crap. The whigs looked funny. Only if you're into Italian fantasy flicks you will enjoy this.

The Cook - lame story about a Hungarian cook who kills girls ina dorm and then feeds them to the other girls. Some of the girls look great, but my favourites died soon. The girls do drugs and play drinking games and then get killed. Nothing very original happens in this movie, or it must be that one of the girls has something going for the cook and she doesn't know he kills her friends. And even that is not new. The ending is well, not a surprise, although there were a few seconds where I thought the director wanted to make a cheap way out for himself and he didn't, in the end. There is very little explaining about why the cook is killing etc, so this is a mindless slasher. I would not recommend it.
