Boy eats Girl (2005)

  Written by Happywax on April 22, 2011
  Rating 7 out of 10

 Director   -   Stephen Bradley

 Cast
 Samantha Mumba   -   Jessica
 David Leon   -   Nathan
 Tadhg Murphy   -   Diggs
 laurence Kinlan   -   Henry
 Sarha James   -   Cheryl


"Boy Eats Girl" is an Irish-made romantic zombie comedy ("RomZomCom?") about a high schooler who, when he thinks he's lost the girl of his dreams, commits suicide ... only to end up becoming Patient Zero of a zombie outbreak thanks to his well meaning but misguided mother, who resurrects him from the dead with the help of a voodoo spell book. After reading that description, I'm sure those of you who are looking for a serious zombie movie are already going to look for something else. For those who are still reading, "Boy Eats Girl" was a hilarious horror/comedy treat with -- gasp! -- a sweet side!!

As the film begins, our high school hero Nathan has already got enough problems -- being bullied by the jocks, abused on the rugby field - but when he accidentally misses a chance to tell his long time friend Jessica how he really feels about her, he goes home and hangs himself. Re-awakening the next morning after a last minute "rescue" by his mother, Nathan begins to notice some, errrr, "changes" in his body, chief among them the urge to munch on human flesh. Turns out Mom used a voodoo spell book "borrowed" from the local church to bring Nathan back from the dead... but there was a page missing from the book so she accidentally left out a step. Whoops. Nathan is able to contain his, errr, "appetite" for only so long, until he finally takes a bite out of one of his high school tormentors at a school dance. This, of course, is a bad idea. His victim goes on to bite some people, who then go on to bite some more people, who go on to bite even MORE people, until sure enough, his quaint little Irish village is being overrun by zombies. Even though he may be one of the Undead now, Nathan still doesn't want anything to happen to his beloved Jessica, so he and his two doofus friends race to her family's home to rescue her just before the horde of undead descends upon the place. Hilariously over-the-top mayhem ensues.

It takes a little while for the zombie shenanigans to really get going in "Boy Eats Girl" but once it does I doubt any gorehound will be disappointed. (The scene where Jessica charges into the horde on her father's farm machine is friggin' EPIC!) From then on, the blood and guts, as well as the one liners, come fast and furious. I've had this movie in my collection for a long time and i'm kicking myself in the ass for not seeing it sooner, so if its sitting on your maybe pile, take this diamond in the ruff and move it over to your must watch pile, you won't be dissapointed, check out the trailer :

Return of the Living Dead Part 2 (1988)


Written by Happywax on April 20 2011
 Rating 4 1/2 out of 10


 Director   -   Ken Wiederhorn

 Cast
 Michael Kenworthy   -   Jesse Wilson
 Thor Van Lingen       -   Billy Crowley
 Jason Hogan             -   Johnny
 James Karen             -   Ed
 Thom Mathews         -   Joey


"HEY, Ken Wiederhorn I have a question for you, about this movie you wrote and directed, WHAT THE F**K WHERE YOU THINKING" , ok , now that I have that out of my system let me continue by ripping this movie apart.
This sequel to one of the most entertaining, hilarious and engaging horror-comedies of all time is a staggering disappointment. Gone is the tension, the sly humour, the wonderfully camp performances and cracking dialogue. Instead, we have a relentlessly tiresome chase movie that offers absolutely no horror at all, only incompetent bufoonery, shrill acting and no atmosphere.

Those nasty tanks filled with zombies are let loose again, this time by a wasted truck driver who doesn't realise that the supplies he's carrying in the back of his vehicle have flown off and into a nearby sewer. Three kids, two of whom are odious bullies, the other a weakling who gets forced to tag along, discover the stray tank and accidentally release another of those ghastly 'tar-men', not to mention a potent spree of toxic gas, which results in yet another cemetery's worth of dead bodies coming back to life. The wimpy child, his older sister and some cable-repair kid must escape from the undead menace, and as a result bump into a couple of gravediggers who have accidentally inhaled the toxic gas and are slowly turning into zombies. The only interesting thing about this sequel is that these two grave diggers are played by James Karen and Thom Matthews, who played those similarly ill-fated characters Frank and Freddy in the first film. Despite the fact that neither character made it to the end of the original, both actors are back in new roles.

This is a pretty cheap production, with the special effects failing to impress and looking pretty poor next to the original.  Ken Weiderhorn clearly doesn't know what to do with actors except let them run around screaming: Thom Matthews, who gave an amusingly dorky performance in the first film, is really wooden second time around, while his girlfriend character has to be one of the most annoying actresses I've seen in a film for a long time! Only James Karen's reliably traumatised performance guarantees amusement, a scene where he's attacked by a decapitated head is pretty funny.

So, overall, no suspense, no laughs (except for the aforementioned 'head' scene), no terror, no plot, no point. One of the worst films I've seen in ages, this is a shameful follow-up to a magnificent cult classic. Again I have to say , how could you take the sequel to one of the greatest zombie movie ever made, and absolutly butcher it, Ok im done , im gonna go soak my head in a barrel of acid now, and i bet you'll want to join me after you check the trailer out below   Happy 4: 20.


The Return of the Living Dead ( 1985 )

 Written by Happywax on April 20 2011
 Rating   9 out of 10


 Director   -   Dan O'Bannon


 Cast

 Clu Gulager              -   Burt
 James Karen            -   Frank
 Don Calf                  -   Ernie
 Thom Mathews        -   Freddie
 Beverley Randolph   -   Tina


This is one of those very rare films that combines good black humor with bloody, messy gore and does it perfectly. Where `Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things' fails miserably, `Return of the Living Dead' succeeds triumphantly. It takes a tired plot (zombies eat teenagers) and makes it new again. The teenagers here are not faceless, stupid, oversexed victims at all. They are misfits and outsiders, the kind of kids who probably go to horror movies every day and make fun of the faceless, stupid, oversexed victims who populated the majority of the slasher films made in the 1980s. The nihilistic punk rock teens can identify with the zombies, and even though it is their ultimate fate to be consumed by them, you like them, you want them to survive and you're sorry to see them go even though the zombies are every bit as cool.

Long before `28 Days Later' appeared, `Return of the Living Dead' presented us with FAST zombies, zombies who could run, jump and work together like a football team, tackling people and making it a group effort to tear their victims apart. There are very few slow, shuffling monsters here; these are zombies to contend with. They talk, they think, they problem solve. Who could ever forget the Tar Man (my personal favorite) rigging up a device to tear down the metal closet doors, behind which our heroine has locked herself?

The adult characters in this film are no less interesting than the teenagers. James Karen is absolutely hysterical in his role as a medical warehouse manager, whose bumbling irresponsibility leads to the zombies being unleashed. Clu Gulager is a stressed out corporate jerk who will do anything to save the name and reputation of the warehouse he owns. And Don Calfa is excellent as the slightly shady mortician who may or may not be an ex-Nazi. The mismatched cast really comes together and forms a bond here, fighting back and growing more desperate as the zombies grow stronger. This film never lets up, not for one minute. There are no long explanation scenes, no boring set-up, just in-your-face excitement from the very first scene. It is the perfect homage to the Romero films; there is no happy ending here, only an ironic twist which will make even the most cynical doomsayer grin. This film is already a cult classic and deserves its status. It's as close to flawless as you can get. Check out the trailer below.

Street Trash ( 1987)

Written by Happywax on april 16 2011
 Rating 7/12 out of 10
 Director  -  Jim Muro

 Cast
 Mike Lackey       -   Fred
 Bill Chepil            -   Bill the cop
 Jane Arakawa      -   Wendy
 Vic Noto             -    Bronsom
 Mark Sferrazza    -   Kevin










The best way to describe Street Trash is like a good Troma film, such as Frankenhooker only with Street Trash (1987) Yellow Goo of a Changed Manexcellent acting and spot on cinematography and a good script. Hard to imagine, I know… but that’s pretty much it. A bit of research on director and story writer Jim Muro revealed that he has been very active in the film business and continues to work regularly, but not as a director. This is his only directing role to date spending most of his time behind the camera or a cinematographer. This explains the visual quality of Street Trash.

 When a liquor store owner finds a case of "Viper" in his cellar, he decides to sell it to the local hobos at one dollar a bottle, unaware of its true properties. The drinks causes its consumers to melt, very messily. Two homeless lads find themselves up against the effects of the toxic brew, as well as going head to head with "Bronson" a Vietnam vet with sociopathic tendencies, and the owner of the junkyard they live in. This movie is loaded with memorable scenes of gore, The first bum meets his gory messy death while he's having a sip of the toxic drink while on the toilet, he immediatley begins to melt and accidently flushes himself down the toilet, (priceless). The decapitation scene at the end is one the best and most original i think I've ever scene, and ive seen alot trust me. Oh and did I mention the "Keep away scene" with the guys dick after it gets bitten off, or what about the cop who enjoys pukeing on criminals after he beats the crap out of them, hell theres even a great obscenity filled rip-off of Frank Sinatra's song "My Way" during the end credits that will have you laughing out load. This movie is a great example of how good an ultra low budget film can be, NO CGI or Speilberian FX ( Hey, i just made up a new word). Do yourself a favour and see this movie, trust me it is well worth the watch if you can find it.

Doghouse (2009)

 Written by Happywax on April 11 2011
 Rating 7 out of 10

 Director  -  Jake West

 Cast 
 Danny Dyer         -   Neil
 Noel Clarke        -   Mikey
 Emil Marwa        -   Graham
 Lee Ingleby         -   Matt
 Keith-Lee Castle -   Patrick
 Christina Cole      -   Candy


 Directed by Jake West, Doghouse stars Stephen Graham as a soon-to-be-divorced loser, who allows his loutish best friends – womaniser Danny Dyer, hen-pecked Noel Clarke, slobbish Emil Marwa, geeky fanboy Keith-Lee Castle and latecomer Lee Ingleby – to persuade him to travel to an isolated village for a drunken weekend. However, when they get there, they find all the men dead and the village overrun by psychotic female zombies, so they have to use all their wits to survive.

 The premise of the film is brilliantly trashy (a bunch of misogynistic beer drinking buddies have to fight off ravenous zombie women) and the film delights in giving each character his comeuppance in a variety of gruesome or repulsive ways. The script also has some nice ideas and some of its more ridiculous moments (characters having to dress as women to escape) pay off brilliantly.

The performances are excellent. Clarke is extremely funny (and nabs most of the best lines), while Castle is great as the handy-to-have-around film nerd and Danny Dyer is clearly having a great time turning his usual obnoxious routine up to 11. There's also a treat for old school Doctor Who fans, as Mary Tamm (aka First Romana) turns up as a politician who may hold the key to what's happened

In addition, the gore and make-up effects are well handled and West strikes the right balance between humour and gross-out repulsion, even if the film's never actually scary. The only real problem is that the plot frequently feels sloppy and squanders a few obvious opportunities for gags or shocks.

Essentially, Doghouse might be trashy and stupid in places, but at least it knows what it's doing and manages to deliver some actual laughs. Forgettable Friday night fare, but worth seeing nonetheless.
