Reviews From The Butcher Shop!

Here is how we here at Gorefest
rate the films:

On a scale from 1-10, with 10
being great and 1 being total crapola.
There are two ratings after each
capsule review, one for how good
the film is, the other (in red) for how
much gore is on display!

Cannibal Campout - What the hell is this good for?
A blank tape is all that comes to mind. This wretched
mess of shot-on-video nonsense is nothing but no talent
bastards walking in the woods and talking and walking
and talking some more. Finally someone sprays some
Kool-Aid at a tree then at the end we get to see people
laying around with chicken liver or something on them.
Nice job guys, you cured my insomnia. Not even as fun
entertaining as old home movies. 1 / 4

The Nest - Awesome killer cockroach movie with lots
of squishy effect and a stand-out cast. Director Terence
Winkless builds suspense without sacrificing the gore in
this one, a truly fun little splatterfest. Imagine The Thing
with bugs and you'll get a pretty good idea of what
goes on here. 8 / 7

Slugs - Our buddy JP Simon of "Pieces" fame is back and
with a fairly effective little slime flick that offers up some
groovy gore effects and classic sleaze. A bit slow in spots,
but a fun way to spend a Saturday night all the same.
You'll love it! 6 / 8

Things - This oddity from Burning Moon home video is
an odd one. It starts with some kinda chunky naked chick
getting tied to a chair by another blonde bimbo. The blonde
then tells her two Horror stories and tells her that her reaction
to them will decide her fate. The two stories aren't bad, with
some OK technical credits and some squishy effects. The
first story is the best one, but the second one is the strangest.
It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but there's some rubber
critter at the end that's covered in blood and stuff. If you want
goop covered rubber things I'd recommend "Society" from
Brian Yuzna. 4 / 6

Violent Shit 2 - OK, it's gory and the violence is way extreme
but it's almost like watching a bad foreign porno. It's just so
damn dumb! The guy who directed these - Andreaas somebody,
has gotten better since the first one and that terrible
"Zombie 90" thing… but it still sucks… this film stinks
more than a bean covention! The opening scene was the
best part, with my second favorite scene being the end
credits 'cause I knew it was over - do yourself a favor and

pass… I watched it so you wouldn't have to! 1 / 9

Zombie Nightmare - The only nightmare you will find here
is this wretched excuse for an undead flick! You'll feel the
horror of being ripped off! You'll face the terror of watching
an entire film on fast forward and you'll know the meaning of
the term LAME! So dry it makes Gremlins seem gory! 1 / 1

Flesh Eating Mothers - A funny and gross Horror flick from
director James A Martin that was done verty low budget but
still had me entertained from beginning to end. It got a bit slow
in a couple of parts, but the rest made up for it! I call it "Leave
It To Beaver" meets "Night Of The Living Dead" and that is a
good thing! Any movie where moms are eating their kids and
look like zombies is OK by me. Search for it and get it
if you can! 6 / 8

Driller Killer - Everyone says this is a classic but I never really
liked it much and still don't. It's poorly lit, talky and slow, with
a few good gore shots here and there. It simply didn't live up to
the hype, nor did Abel Ferrara seem like anything special to me
as a director. I have since loved some of his films, but this one
doesn't cut it for me. Want a drill massacre? Watch "Slumber
Party Massacre" instead. 3 / 5

Eerie Midnight Horror Show - A great slice of Italian sleaze
cinema with some grue, some flesh and mucho trash on display!
It's basically a rip-off of the exorcist but with more gore and
some funny dubbing! Very entertaining! 7 / 7

The Tomb - We've got us a great story here about a vampire
queen or something that walks around the whole movie changing
clothes and killing people without a stitch of plot to get in the way.
Director Fred Olen Ray won't get an Academy Award for anything,
but he sure makes fun movies! Michelle Bauer plays the queen
chick with her usual two talents on display and Jay Richardson
does a great Bogart impression. Rent it if you fin d it! 6 / 5

Bloody Harvest - Inane waste of my time that I will NEVER get
back dammit! I did it… I sat through it for you guys so do me a
favor and do ANYTHING else with the 70 minutes of life you
might have watsed on this! In case you wanna know, some dorks
get stranded in a desert and they find an old house and theres some
living scarecrows around it and they all get wasted in various ways,
none very gross or effective. 2 / 4

Razor Blade Smile - I know that vampires are all the rage right now,
but I am really starting to hate vampire movies. Either they are bad
excuses for naked bimbos to run around with bad fangs or they are
art-house goth crap movies like this one. I dunno why, but everyone
likes this one but me. I find it dull and dry, with no real effects to
speak of and very little real plot, or reason for being. Now I am
not one to bitch about there being little or no plot - but you
gotta give us SOMETHING! 4 / 3

The Craving - I was craving a good Horror movie when this one
was over. Paul Nacshy werewolf flick that plays like a remake of
his much better "Werewolf Vs The Vampire Woman"- perhaps it's
a sequel. All I know is that it is very dark, murky and dull. I have no
idea what was going on half the time cuase you can't tell! It's too
damned dark and it looks as if it was filmed through a
wet paper towel. Pass! 2 / 3

Messiah Of Evil - This bizarre little film was also called "Return
Of The Living Dead" but they never called it that on video due to
the poplar film also under that title. This one is actually pretty
good and creepy. It has a small amount of gore, but it won't matter.
This film makes you uneasy and gives you this terrible feeling of
dread. An effective little zombie film. 6 / 5

More to come…..
