So since this month is potato person day, I introduced my wife to The Leprechaun starring Warwick Davis, which she had never heard of or seen before.

Needless to say she thought it was fucking great and loved how tongue in cheek the movie was taking jabs at Warwick Davis' height. She especially loved the trike and mini car scenes.

The kills weren't that great or memorable but the movie more than makes up for it with it's charm, dialogue, and absolute ridiculousness of it. Only bad thing is they made six of these fucking movies and they got exponentially worse.

You can tell it started as a fan project because it's not shitty enough to be something Full Moon came up with

It did. I've been following the project for a while. It's still looking very rough around the edges not just in terms of the graphics too. But ya' know, Free 2 Play, so it might get better? I doubt it will but ya' never know.

Big disagree there, sir. The sequels are a lot of fun and know that they're bad. Part 3 or 4 might be the best although I have a special memory of the titty shot from part 2. A lot of people like the two In The Hood entries as well.

I personally didn't like in space. I got her to agree to watch 2, but I'm not sure I can get her with all six.

I liked the space one. The Leprechaun uses a freakin' lightsaber, come on. Wifey might like the two Hood flicks. I forget which one has Ice-T but I think it's the first one.
 
I'm re-watching I Spit On Your Grave to celebrate International Women's Day (as you would) and I just can never take my eyes off of Camille Keaton's bush. Not that I'm weird fetish person that likes big bush but it's just something on screen you can't look away from. Even for the 70's that is a BIG fucking bush.

Anywho, great film and the Joe Bob Briggs' commentary is one of the best commentary tracks.
 
Alright fellow spook lovers, I got a LONG drive coming up, so I need horror podcasts. I love paranormal shit and talking about //true// stories. I used to love Art Bell, and have a soft spot for UFO and ayylmaos, so if you know of any, ideally on spotify, please let me know.

It does make me sad what happen to Full Moon. I used to love their Puppet Master movies.

Yea, the early Puppet Master movies were very fun to watch. Other Demonic Toys movies (Dollman, Blood Dolls and Bad Channels) were also fun.

They were never a big Budget company. But you could tell they tried their best and would sometimes come up with cool lore for their fun B-movies. It sucks that they later just decided to embrace their B factor in embarrassing ways.

They were more medium budget. Band infamously reached for the stars with Robot JOX which cost 10 million and that epically bombed. But the early Full Moon movies up until 95/96 had "decent" budgets of around a million. Which isn't exactly poverty Troma-tier.

I didn't know that. I mean your right they definitely had more of a budget with their earlier stuff. The first Puppet Master movie looks like a completely different production made it compare to their later stuff.

I remmber liking Puppet Master 6 which came out after 96. But that was the last real one I enjoyed. The Seventh one definitely had a lower feel to it how there was barely blood in it and the eightth one was just offer to the point that I haven't watched anymore Puppet Master sequels since than. It was just that bad of a taste in my mouth.

The first Puppet Master was supposed to be released theatrically. The director was under that impression and it did get a theatrical release in select European cities. The director is still pissed because he created those puppets and not Charles Band but he doesn't get any royalties.

Man that sucks. I didn't realize the director was screwed over so badly.
 
Ok how the hell is the Irish film Isolation (2006) so unknown. I mean I consider myself pretty well versed in horror, and I'd never even heard of this one. And this is from someone who has watched a TON of much lower budget, with much less well known actors.

Isolation is an Irish cow-based b-movie and it is really great. It's got a young, mop-topped Sean Harris in it, and the other Irish guy who is in literally everything. Lots of hat-tips to everything from Alien to Outbreak. The only dark spot is Ruth Negga who is terrible, but even she can't ruin it.

I think the biggest reason it isn't talked about is because of the terrible, generic ass name. I mean, it's not a fart huffing character study of people separated from society. It's about genetically mosified cow-shrimp hybrids attacking the shit out of people (and cows). I would've called it Surf and Turf and everyone would know about it. Fun as shit and well done movie. Other than Ruth Negga and the least erotic sex scene since Super or Enemy at the Gates.

Anyway, three stars check it out.
 
Just watched this nutty little monster movie. It's about shipwreck survivors on an island with a man eating pygmy tribe that resembles the Zuni fetish doll from Trilogy of Terror

Yeah Charles Band is a big piece of shit. He attempted to scam VHS collectors years back.
