THE REVENANT Mini-Review [Fantastic Fest '09]

Written and Directed by D. Kerry Prior, 2009
There is a good movie buried within THE REVENANT, but unfortunately the film is still a few edits away from unearthing it.  It’s got a solid horror-comedy skeleton to it in the form of a plot about an Iraqi war veteran who returns home, only to re-animate as [...]

A Scene From HAUSU, “the craziest goddamn movie Japan has ever unleashed”.

Now I get why Fantastic Fest this year is reaching back to 1977 to include HAUSU, aka HOUSE.  It’s positively batshit insane with a side of bloody wtfux fries.
