Double Header: Rocky Horror Picture Show and Blood Creek



Sorry guys, horror watching has become hard for the past couple days, I dunno-- maybe I'm at the half way hump or something. Anyway, here are the films from today and yesterday.

10/20: This is kind of a cop out, but for yesterday's film I watched Rocky Horror Picture Show. Just as last year, I saw it at the Guild with a live audience. Which is truly the only way to see it. It's a blast to watch, Tim Curry rocks, and it's just a fun show. Beyond that, you probably know everything about it already. Apparently I was a shitty Eddie though... and yeah, probably. Again, I won't rate it, seeing as how the experience is really what gets all the rating. 

10/21: For today's film I watched Joel Schumacher's film Blood Creek. This is some convoluted movie about a Nazi obsessed with the occult coming on orders from Hitler to inspect a stone that a family in the countryside has found. He believes the stone to be the key to immortality, and uses it to make himself into some sort of zombie Nazi creature and is able to do the same with other beings. In present day a man is captured by this Nazi zombie fellow and manages to escape, bringing his brother with him for revenge. Honestly, the whole plot is so jumbled together and nonsensical I couldn't even concentrate on some of the things that had potential to be interesting, i.e. Hitler's actual well documented obsession with the occult. The scares are pretty cliche and ridiculous, and Schumacher has some obsession with filming horses running around--I think literally a quarter of the movie is shots of horses running around for no apparent reason. Couple that with a pretty crappy modern shoot um up story results in a pretty shoddy horror film.

You want Nazi zombies, go watch Dead Snow.

4/10
