Zombie beavers... Oh dear [pullquote cite="" type="left, right"][amazon text=Amazon&template=carousel&chan=that film guy&asin=B00MNBTNZC][/pullquote] The last film on the first night of Fright Fest better be insane, partly because last year You're Next graced the silver screen. A film I thoroughly loved for its twists, black comedy, authenticity and ass kicking. Oh … [Read more...]
Review: Soccer Dog: European Cup (2004)
Soccer Dog: European Cup tells the story of Kimble, a genetically engineered super dog which escapes from a lab and joins a plucky but poor-quality Scottish football club. The Portersburgh Portsmen have won just two games in four years, and their captain Bryan MacGregor “ played by Nick Moran of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels fame “ is down on his luck. As well as leading … [Read more...]
Piranhaconda (2012) review by That Film Guy
Another week goes by and another best worst film is created and shown on the Syfy channel. We've had a Sharknado and a Birdemic, a Mega Piranha and Dragonwasps. But it wasn't until now that we had the wonder that is Piranhaconda. That's right, a genetic freak that is part equal parts piranha and anaconda, two of the favourite monster film creatures. Nonsensical to the extreme … [Read more...]
Birdemic 2: The Resurrection (2013) review by That Film Klown
In 2005, the Onion reported that a group of scientists, philosophers and mathematicians were close to completing a list of everything that can go wrong. In tribute to this noble effort, and due to the incredible number of insanely bad things about Birdemic 2: The Resurrection, here's a review in the same style: … [Read more...]
The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987) review by That Film Guy
The late 1980s saw a rise in the popularity of the child's toy The Cabbage Patch Kids. In response to this Topps Cards produced a line of collectible cards that parodied their more popular cousins and were known as The Garbage Pail Kids (latterly The Garbage Gang in the United Kingdom). They became a huge success in their own right and in 1987 a film was commissioned to cash in … [Read more...]
Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) review by That Film Dude
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The study of film has hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying … [Read more...]
Sharknado (2013) review by That Film Guy
Cashing in on the growing market of high concept B-Movies comes Syfy channels original film, Sharknado. Aware of the genius of the title, with a poster showing the aforementioned sharks flying out of a tornado the tag line simply reads Enough said and in many ways this is true. The central conceit is almost enough to immediately place it in a list of Best Worst films, but when … [Read more...]
Surf Nazis Must Die (1987) review by That Film Klown
Have you ever wanted to know what would happen if an earthquake wiped out everyone except several gangs of terrible actors all hell-bent on controlling the same stretch of beach? No? Me neither “ and after watching this 83-minute nightmare you'll wish the quake had destroyed your TV. … [Read more...]
Dragon Wasps (2012) review by That Film Guy
Don't you just hate it when an unscrupulous pharmaceutical company continues experimenting with DNA and create some super-hybrid beast? Transgentec have been meddling with nature and have ˜accidentally' created a species of giant, fire-breathing insects that look basically like big wasps (hence Dragon Wasps). A scientific expedition enters the jungles of Belize and find said … [Read more...]
Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) review by That Film Guy
In the history of film there are some reasonably well-regarded truths. The Godfather is one of the best films ever made, Michael Bay likes sexualising women and Ed Wood is one of the most notoriously bad directors of all time. There's even an excellent biopic called Ed Wood, directed by Tim Burton starring Johnny Depp as the man himself which tracks the creation of his … [Read more...]
