KFC’s new ‘Skinwich’

say hello to your lower intestine as it leaks in a black trail from betwix your swollen rear-globes, down the swollen shanks to congeal into a puddle of abdominal puss that eats away at your feet.

We are the Sprocket Holes vol. 158

micro-reviews;



LONG KHONG 2 a.k.a. ART OF THE DEVIL 3 - needles holding open your eyes/voodoo abortion :

AOTD 2 was one of the grisliest, most deliciously unpleasant films to come from the continent of Asia. AOTD 3 makes it look like Romona and Beezus. Perverse, misanthropic, and sadistic beyond most realms of possibility.




EX-DRUMMER - 8.5/10:

If a Jesus Lizard album was turned into a slasher movie, it would be EX-DRUMMER. Fun, violent, experimental, occasionally surreal, often pornographic... everything good punk rock should be.



TONY- 8/10:

An unemployed social retard collects action films on VHS and murders some dudes. The film drops you right into the middle of the characters bleak existence, offering little in the way of a past or a future. its all in this moment. very interesting character study. put it alongside Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Angst, and other minimalist meditations on brutality and isolation.



SMASH CUT - 8/10

Fun and bloody homage to Hershel Gordon Lewis, the original "splatter" director. The only thing that the film needed was to look more like a HGL film in terms of cinematography. it nailed everything else from the performances to the FX to the way actors are framed in the shots, but the look of the film was a touch too contemporary. still it looked like everyone was having a ball with this, and its nice to see David Hess in something watchable again.



THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO - 5/10:

Really not seeing what is so mindblowing about this. sure it has its rough moments involving rape and Nazis and goth kids and etc, but when you take away that stuff its no different than any movie Ashely Judd did in the 90s. It's a foreign film for people who don't watch foreign films so they can act like their hot shit because they watched something with subtitles. boring, unoriginal, and kind of a dick about it.



THE WAYWARD CLOUD - boingoingoingoing/oingoingoingoing

Insanely sexy and sexually insane... and mind-fuck with an emphasis on the "Fuck". who wants some watermelon?

Not that I'm Bitter or anything vol. 4

people who quote song lyrics in their Facebook statuses are banal incubuses. You're not deep and your everyday "struggles" involving not fitting into a pair of pants or running out of caramel coffee creamer are not being reflected in the words of whatever 90s one-hit wonder you think is poetic. You're just a tasteless miserable identity-lacking drama queen and no one is impressed that you remember the words to fucking Soul Asylum song. listen to SWANS and get the gun, faggot.

Awwww Yeah vol. 14

mmmmmmmmmmm......



..... fried lemons.

Kim Ji-Woon's I SAW THE DEVIL Banned From Public Theaters In Korea.

by Todd Brown, August 8, 2010 4:37 PM


So, just how hard edged is Kim Ji-Woon's upcoming revenge thriller I Saw The Devil? Hard enough that producers have been planning to release it with an 18+ rating - the highest rating given to films approved for public release in Korea. The rating they've been given - and given twice, now - however is one known as 'Limited Screening', a highly restrictive rating that only allows the film to be screened in special theaters that only show adult films. Currently no such theaters exist, meaning the film has effectively been banned.

Originally submitted for ratings review a month ago, the film has undergone re-editing since first being hit by the rating but to no avail. The rating stood a second submission and distributors have now called off scheduled press screenings while they try to address the ratings board concerns and get a rating on the film that will allow them to actually release it. The official concern? Scenes that "severely damage the dignity of human values."

Kyung-chul is a dangerous psychopath who kills for pleasure. He has committed infernal serial murders in diabolic ways that one cannot even imagine and his victims range from young women to even children. The police have chased him for a long time, but were unable to catch him. One day, Joo-yeon, daughter of a retired police chief becomes his prey and is found dead in a horrific state.

Her fiance Dae-hoon, a top secret agent, decides to track down the murderer himself. He promises himself that he will do everything in his power to take bloody vengeance against the killer, even if it means that he must become a monster himself to get this monstrous and inhumane killer.


One of the most hyped films of the year thanks to its pairing of actors Lee Byung-hyun (A Bittersweet Life, The Good The Bad And The Weird, GI Joe) and Choi Min-Sik (Oldboy) with the director of A Tale Of Two Sisters, this sort of thing will only liken heighten the anticipation for the film around the world - it premieres as part of the Toronto International Film Festival in September - but could be a huge blow to its domestic success unless they can get things sorted quickly.

Contorversial Kiwi horror flick 'Wound' bleeds like a mother...

by Andrew Mack, August 1, 2010 7:53 PM


[I didn't ask for this one to be added to the catch up pile (Mitch, I'm pointing at you) but on a whim I gave it a go and endured. More on this controversial supernatural horror film that screened at FanTasia after the synopsis off the official site]

WOUND is a Supernatural Horror Film that explores the dark worlds of mental illness, incest, revenge and death. We follow Tanya as she searches for the mother she has never met - a mother (Susan) who gave her up for dead after being abused by her own father who remains stuck in her present life. Tanya returns from the dead to confront and possess Susan with all her deepest fears and desires, sending Susan into a state of madness and gore filled
retribution. WOUND explores and confronts the dark, distorted supernatural world that lurks within us all. A young woman, alone, attempts to fight the demons that begin to haunt her days and nights - in a series of brutal confrontations with the enemies of the past who want to possess and kill her. But, they are all members of her own family ... of her own self. A dark, disturbing look into a haunted woman's mind. This is one terrible dream you will never wake up from.
