Cast : Marc Price, Tony Fields, Lisa Orgolini, Gene Simmons (Despite what the DVD cover says, Ozzy Osbourne is in it for only a minute)

Certificate : M 15+(Australia)

Plot: Eddie Weinbauer is a typical All-American teenager, at least he was until he fell under the evil spell of Rock Music. Now he's obsessed with his heavy-metal superstar idol, Sammi Curr, who is killed in a hotel fire. Eddie becomes the recipient of the only copy of Curr's unreleased album, which when played backwards sends a message of destruction and as Halloween approaches, Eddie begins to realize this isn't only rock 'n roll... it's life and death and he must draw the line to thwart this mission.

Oh yes, this is THE heavy metal horror movie of the eighties, (or any decade). Starring Marc "Skippy from Family Ties" Price as Eddie this movie has it all. A victimised teen who discovers (or in this case is handed) great power, a revenge plot that gets out of hand, eighties heavy metal (from the band Fastway) and a story that covers teen rebellion, individuality, music backmasking, the role of heroes in society, and some nice eighties horror movie destruction.

Also "stars" Ozzy Osbourne as an anti-rock Reverend. And Ozzy must have done a great job because even though he appears for less than a minute or two, he appears on the DVD cover!

I have a soft spot for Trick Or Treat. Not only was it a film I continually hired from the video shop (remember them?) when I was a boy, it is also (according to Christian Fundamentalist preacher Jeff Godwin (in his book Dancing With Demons) one of the most evil movies ever). And it covered the old fun hobby we used to have of looking for backmasking, (ie stuff recorded backwards on albums, especially heavy metal). Of course in this movie there is more backmasking than anyone, even The Beatles could have put on an album.

Most evil movie, eighties rock, and directed by the weedy little accountant from The Untouchables, all this adds up giving it four (backmasked) Darios.

Why am I starting my reviews of the Friday movies with this one? Quite simply, it is the best of the series. Not boring at all, and with touches of humor (including a smiley-face gag), some entertaining death scenes plus the male lead is Thom Matthews (who also starred in the other great 80's film The Return Of The Living Dead (I and II)) This is where it all got turned around with Jason Voorhees, in all films to this point, Jason was portrayed as human, (super strong as well) but still human. And it was as a human that he was killed (in 1984's Friday The 13th:The Final Chapter). So if he's dead, whats the movie about. Well picture a metal bar thrust into an open coffin and a handy bolt of lightning. Presto! Instant reanimated Jason. The Friday The 13th Website (http://www.fridaythe13thfilms.com/) gives this basic premise in its plot synopsis:
Tommy Jarvis is released from the mental institutions in which he has spent most of his adolescence. Along with his friend Allen Hawes, Tommy goes to dig up and cremate Jason's corpse. But when he pierces Jason's chest with an iron fence post, a bolt of lightning resurrects him. Jason quickly takes out Allen with a fist through the chest, and when Tommy flees Jason heads for the renamed and reopened Lake Forest Green. Basically this movie is a killer stalking the killer of the aforementioned killer. A zombiefied undead Jason, and a story that makes much more sense than a lot of the Friday movies. And a James Bond homage just before the opening titles. No wonder it is often voted the best of the series. So my equation for this movie is the preceeding premise+Thom Matthews+ Jason Voorhees + Songs by Alice Cooper equals FOUR Darios!

This is the one that had all he horror fanboys all upset a couple of years back. Rob Zombie's Halloween. When this was in production, there were many negative comments thrown about about how Zombie could make a remake of the classic Halloween (1978). Well Zombie has pulled a swiftie on us. This isn't just a remake, but a prequel as well. How about that for a talented Zombie?

Not quite, it is effective as a prequel, in that Zombie gives us a good glimpse of a ten year old Michael Myers. Did you know Michael was abused at home by his stepfather, bullied at school and was an animal mutilator? From Carpenter's film we have no idea about his childhood, save that he killed his sister on Halloween. Zombie's Halloween spends approximately 40 minutes of its 100 on a ten year old Michael. And this is where the film loses it for me. The original character of Michael Myers, (in the two Carpenter films) had no effort spent on showing sympathy for Michael. He was a "force of nature", a being who may or may not be supernatural, who did not deserve any audience sympathy. And this is what made him scary-because we did not know what he really was. (Apart from having "the devil's eyes" we have no idea about his makeup)

Zombie gives us 40 minutes of sympathy for Michael, then lauches into his remake with Michael stalking the babysitter - which is the whole point of Halloween.

Mind you, I respect what Zombie was trying to do. He has not simply remade Halloween, he has crafted his own film. He has not fallen into the Gus Van Sant remaking Psycho trap, and he has added parts to the film to make it his own, not a carbon copy of Carpenter's work. ¹

I'm calling this one as I see it. If it was an original film Zombie had come up with, (ie if the was no Carpenter Halloween) then it would score higher, but as it stands, as a remake/prequel to an existing film, I am only giving it two and a half Darios.



1 - Remakes can be good though. Look at The Maltese Falcon with Bogie. That was a remake...

Before we really get into the heavy reviews etc, I want to give a mention to horror_exchange , which is where I found a lot of the films I will be discussing. Join horror_exchange , you will not regret it. (Hey, I got Saw V from there in a perfect quality copy before it was released on DVD)Be warned though, it is very easy to download a lot from this community so make sure you have (A) A high download limit and (B) lots of time to watch films. Not all the films I talk about will be available on horror_exchange, but if they are, I will direct you to the entry and links.

Ban The Sadist Videos Part 1 and 2

First entry of this site. And as this site will be covering a lot of my personal favourites, here is a brief overview of what we can expect. Blood, sadism, zombies and really poor acting. All the essentials for a good film. Of course, not only horror will be covered, any movie that takes my fancy will be discussed, though for those who know me, you'll know my taste runs towards horror and sci-fi more than anything else. Many of these films will be available on the internet for download, (hey, where did you think I got them?) and I'd like to direct you to the community horror_exchange which has a great selection of good and bad horror films. Any download links I have I will share with you, but many of you will know how to download off the internet anyway. (You pirates First off the rank are two documentary films from Britain dealing with the "Video Nasty" era and the effects that this had on video retailers, censorship and the law. It is worth watching if you like that sort of thing and can deal with a lot of face to camera stuff from academics and politicians.
