The Town that Dreaded Sundown (2014)

The Town Dreaded Sundown (2014)

4 out of 5 stars.

Adult Stuff- Cheesy One Liners, Bad Language, Booze, Drugs, Puss, Blood, Bondage, Guts, Gore, Hoochie Girls, Boobs, Sex, Vagina, Penis, Penis Trauma

After 10- Say it all the time!!  Love movies that start with action.
After 40- The use of words, signs, reflective surfaces and some camera angles are so refreshing.
By The End-  A well done movie, but...

After Checking IMDB-  Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (screenplay), and Earl E Smith (original).

This is a pretty good movie.  Starts off with action right out of the gate, the actors and the acting are good and note worthy. The use of some unique camera angles, reflective surfaces, signs and lighting add a unique feel to the movie which makes it enjoyable to watch.  It is not your run of the mill slasher flick following the same recipe.  Not long into the movie it becomes clear we are watching a grisly mystery.  Who is the killer?  Why are they doing it?  How will we catch them?  All great questions, but very hard to answer because we only know what we have been shown. Of course, our minds can not help but try to jump ahead and "guess" who the killer is and why.  Standard issues always apply; fear, rage, greed, jealously, whatever.  Which quickly and sadly brings us to the end of the movie, where I felt this flick lost a little.  The end felt a little rushed and incomplete.  Of course it leaves the door wide open for a sequel or prequel, but after such an enjoyable movie, I just don't feel the ending was as good as the build up to it.

Until next time everybody, remember, Protect Your Privates!

**with an ending like I feel a sequel is almost assured.
**if for no other reason than to explain how they got introduced, which I have my theories on.
**HAHAHA- "live bait"

Charlie's Farm

Charlie's Farm

5 out of 5 stars.  Great, everything was great and I want more.  I was sad when it ended and hope there is a sequel.

Adult Stuff- Cheesy One Liners, Bad Language, Booze, Drugs, Puss, Blood, Bondage, Guts, Gore, Hoochie Girls, Boobs, Sex, Vagina, Penis, Penis Trauma

After 10- Love when movies start off with some excitement.  Got me hooked because of the look and it is from slaughter house and Daddy's Little Girl Writer Director Chris Sun.
After 40- How is it that Tara Reid is the only smart one?  I predict an "I told you so" coming up... lol.
By The End- Whoa and Holy!!  Awesome and so well done!!

After Checking IMDB- Written and directed by Chris Sun, who has 4 writing, directing, and producing credits (all his works). Tara Reid, Kane Hodder, Bill Moseley and Nathan Jones.

Where to start and what to say!!  My head is still swimming from this epic film.  Unique deaths are always welcome.   A bad guy that makes Kane look small?! Wow!  Mr. Hodder stands over 6 foot 2 inches tall and is such a well known actor (with over 100 acting credits) even I have had a chance to meet this legend of a man, and from what I have seen he loves his fans.  Of course we do not see him as Jason till part VII in 1988, but this is closer to the Jason I remember growing up.

Let me just say that the leap Chris Sun made from "Daddy's Little Girl" to "Charlie's Farm" is fantastic.  I am not just talking about fan favorite cast members and a budget 6 times larger, the story telling, pace and overall feel is great.  I am very sad to hear that "Boar" (the current Chris Sun project) is running into financial problems, and really hope it can get sorted, regardless, this fan can't wait for whatever comes next.

Until next time everybody, remember, Protect Your Privates!

**texas chainsaw in the land down under.
** nicely done story telling, the visual use of back and forth I thought was done quiet well.
** similarities between friday the 13th and charlie's farm.
** is this a passing of the torch similar to Arnie and the Rock?
**The penis trauma is at 1:07:45 to 1:08:00.
** Passing up the easy, late night, can't see anything murder spree for the better lit, more bad ass, daylight killings, well played!!
