Michael Goi, writer and director of Megan Is Missing, wants to get the word out about the dangers that lurk in the shadows of the Internet. Upon reading that his film is, in his own words, “harrowing in its realism” and “using only fact-based incidences to depict the lives of ordinary kids walking in the […]

Gabelstapler-Klaus kehrt zurück – Jetzt muss der Chef fahren
Whenever the name Jochen Taubert pops up on your screen, kill your TV, burn down your house and run away, don’t even think about saving your children and wife/husband. After I saw the first 30 minutes of Piratenmassaker months ago, I swore on the Bible that I would never ever watch a Taubert movie again […]
August Underground Trilogy
It seems a universal phenomenon that, as soon as people start labelling a movie “the most shocking ever made”, we want to see it. For me, it doesn’t even need to come from the mouth of an established film critic – it was a YouTube comment with 20+ thumbs up and carrying the enticing all-caps […]
Daikyoju Gappa
Daikyoju Gappa aka. Gappa, the Triphibian Monster is a kaiju film, a Japanese giant monster science fiction movie from 1967. The film is about young Gappa, some kind of prehistoric bird, which is kidnapped by reason of commercial and scientific thoughts and brought to Japan. Gappa’s parents aren’t amused about it and decide to go […]
Fist Of Jesus
What would you expect from a 15 minute movie Fernando Alle (from the almighty The Clones) recommended you and which was directed by David Muñoz and Adrián Cardona, the same crazy dudes who did Brutal Relax (read my review here)? There is only one logical answer to this question: Fist Of Jesus. A ultra-violent Peter […]
Familiar
Fatal Pictures is a Canadian filmmaking team consisting of producer/director Richard Powell and producer Zach Green. Familiar (2012) is their third short after Consumption (2008) and Worm (2010), neither of which I have seen so far but which I am surely going to check out in the future. For now, let us just concentrate on […]
Wrong
Wrong (2012) is a movie written and directed by French musician, director, writer, cinematographer Quentin Dupieux better known as Mr. Oizo. I’ll be honest with you, I am neither a fan of Mr. Oizo, nor did I enjoy the predecessor movie Rubber. Therefor it is no wonder that I had absolutely no expectations when it […]
Banana Motherfucker
The movie title stands on its own and if you are into fun splatter flicks, you can easily skip the review and just buy the dvd for 4-5 euros HERE. If you are not familiar with the Portuguese independent film crew The Clones (even though this is our third review after Papa Wrestling and BLARGHAAARHGARG!!), […]
BLARGHAAARHGARG
A long time ago Eric from El Gore reviewed the Portuguese short Papa Wrestling which was quite a surprise for me as I had never heard of the independent production crew Clones before. They immediately got my interest with Papa Wrestling and I decided to follow them in the future. BLARGHAAARHGARG is the group’s second […]
HATE CRIME
Independent filmmaker James Cullen Bressack‘s latest movie HATE CRIME was quite difficult to review for me. To be straightforward with you, James and his movie want to provoke, which sometimes works really well but unfortunately also fails quite a few times. To give you an idea of what we are talking about here: HATE CRIME is […]
