Kat (2001)
Though kitties are pretty and sweet,
They have predators’ claws on their feet.
Our domestic arrange-
ment is likely to change
If they find out we’re made out of meat.

The British slasher movie Don’t Open Till Christmas gets the violence part of the movie fairly well done, but precious little else.
What? Its nose is cold!

Hey, you’ve got your ideas about what constitutes “a pet”, and I have mine…

In which the fact that there are indeed alligators living in the sewers is the least of anyone’s problems…

Liz Kingsley is the insane genius behind And You Call Yourself a Scientist!Rather, this update is all about stuff I was about to lose from my Netflix streaming list. Next time for sure, though.
Dagmar’s Hot Pants, Inc. (1971), in which Copenhagen’s most responsible whore goes out of business…
Dumplings (2004), in which Fruit Chan decides that fetus-eating as a home remedy for aging is a good enough premise to sustain an entire feature…
Fascination (1979), in which Jean Rollin tosses bandits, a blood cult, and a scantily clad slasher into the blender, and rather surprisingly pulls out a fully coherent movie…
The Mystery of the 13th Guest (1943), in which William Beaudine proves no better at spooky house mysteries than he was at mad science or Wild West vampires…
Nightmares Come at Night (1970), in which something had better come sometime…
Orloff and the Invisible Man (1970), in which even Jesus Franco can be a target for rip-off artists…
Sacred Flesh (1999), in which nunsploitation reenactor Nigel Wingrove simply will not… shut… up…

The Wicker Tree (2011), in which Robin Hardy shows Neil LaBute what a crappy Wicker Man movie really looks like.

31 Days of Horror

31 DAYS OF HORROR 2015, PT. 1
“This year’s orgy of entertainment included a lot more recent horror films than I normally watch, but I figured it was time to return tot he genre I loved so much but felt exiled from by all the found footage and torture porn films. Turns out this year I went heavy on “lad meets monster girl” and “grief of a parent”. We also got in a lot of short stories, mostly by Robert E. Howard. And then I went to Ireland.”

The horror movie Man’s Best Friend is surprisingly fun, combining the expected horror moments with effective stabs of black humor.
