Horror hounds need not settle for this week's tepid thriller, Mirrors -- why settle for subpar studio remakes when much more exciting and unique films are at hand? The 1981 cult slasher My Bloody Valentine gets a Special Edition (timed to coincide with Lionsgate's upcoming remake, My Bloody Valentine 3D) which means a remastering, re-inserted gore (originally cut out to avoid an X rating), and never-before-seen deleted scenes! But if that tale of a crazed, pickaxe-wielding miner isn't enough to get your bloodlust going, take a gander at the new import Tokyo Gore Police, from the makers of Machine Girl. In Tokyo Gore Police, a wave of mutated humans are able to create weapons from any wound inflicted upon them -- the results, as you might imagine, are grotesque , gory (and thus, awesome) in equal measure. Early festival reviews have TGP pegged at 100 percent on the Tomatometer; V.A. Musetto of the New York Post calls it "quite possibly the goriest, craziest, most eye-blowing, chunk-spewing, head-exploding sci-fi movie of all time."

Because every thing else looks uninteresting (like Tokyo Gore Police/Brideshead Revisted) or horrible (My Best Friends Girl/ Mirrors). I don't think "VCB" looks hilarious, but it does look sexy. And a little soft core porn never hurt. I'd see "Appalossa", but wasn't it just in theatres. A pretty weak week. (Reply to this) |
