Book Review: Zombie Apocalypse! by Anthology

Zombie Apocalypse! Zombie Apocalypse! by Stephen Jones
My rating: 7 of 10 stars

This is a collection of short stories about a zombie apocalypse. Several authors wrote for it. Some only had some couple of pages and others had more. There is a timeline here and each story tells the tale in a period of time and each following story continues the previous even if with different characters and settings.

It grab me from the beginning. Quite interesting tale and with an interesting concept.

In my opinion, after reading this tale I must say that there isn't a darn thing you can do if a zombie apocalpyse outbreaks....

Movie Review: Kairo (2001) October Horror Fest (32)

So I watched 32 movies and not 31. Well to be frank I watch 33. But the other one I can consider Horror. Review to come..

I thought about what would be my last movie and I thought, what about ending as I've started? And so, I watch Kairo! Kairo is the Japanese version of Hollywood Pulse. The version of Kairo is quite different from Pulse. 

With Pulse they try to emulate Kairo but at the same time had to give us some selling points. The beautiful girls, the romance  and some spooky (but cliches) situations - nevertheless it was a good movie. Kairo is quite different in many ways. Whereas Pulse deals in a time where technology is part of us Kairo

was made in 2001 and at time the Internet was not so common as today. I remember in Portugal we had dial-up (56Kbs) and it was in 2003/2004 that we had the means to have a internet service with velocities of 512Kbs or 1Mb - but they were very expensive like 35€ or more for a service. 11 years in the future for that price you have a service of TV, Telephone and NET with 100Mb - Great leap of evolution... But enough of that. We you've a world where Net was not so common and you could make some spooky movies and this one deals with the discovery of some spirits trying to invade the human world through the internet. After all, what's the internet? can you unplug it? can you turn it off? Where are all sites located? Well... some
interesting questions...


In this movie we follow two groups of people as they start to investigate why their friends are behaving strangely. Some are disappearing and others are committing suicide. One thing this show did gave us and that's why I didn't felt more immerse on the story was the scale of it all... I know it was worldwide but they never say anything about it.

One thing I didn't understood was why some people commit suicide while others disappear in that black dust... And the red tape... Why? And the ending made me feel strange... Eternal Loneliness...

I understand the purpose of this movie... it was a warning of something that happens nowadays... It's strange seeing now this, but this was made in 2001 remember and this movie deals with the loneliness and how people become ghosts even through connecting into technology like internet or mobile phones...

Don't expect that real moments of shock (there are no gore by the way) but it's two hours of a movie that grows in horror and unease. It will chill your bones...

I will have to say two things... First this is not an american movie and it wasn't made for them. Sorry people. This is slow pace and with deep psychological effect. Watch it in one go, I couldn't do it but that's my life. Advisable to anyone who wants to have a nice slow ride into the darkest world of technology.... Forever Death is Eternal Loneliness...

Book Review: The Store by Bentley Little

The Store The Store by Bentley Little
My rating: 8 of 10 stars

I read this book and at the time I couldn't make a review. Didn't know why but I couldn't. This book is the trademark of Bentley Little. The personification of an entity - in this case a chainstore called The Store.

From day one that this building was built something changed in that city. Other business is going down as the Store expand more and more.

We follow a family of characters that are connected with the store directly or inderectly. And probably the best part of the novel is the change that The Store puts on his employes. Imagine The Store as a cult. You only leave on a body bag.

This book really nails the consumerism/capitalism that affects most companies. They are heartless companies that only think of money. Imagine now, what would happen if they were run as a Cult and there you go. It's bloody brilliant. This book in concept is a lot like The Association.

AudioBook Review: Malediction by CZ Dunn

Malediction by C.Z. Dunn
My rating: 9.5 of 10 stars

With plenty spoilers...
This was probably the best audiobook I listened. Unlike most of audiobooks that I could easily read the story and probably enjoyed more this one I must say, to my regret, that probably wouldn't happen. why?

Because there was something in those actors that made me close my eyes and imagine the all thing. This isn't a Dark Angel audiobook. In my opinion is an imperial guard audiobook with a participation of the dark angels. Why? This tale happens in two story-lines. First, the present, is when Regan Antigone, an retired officer of the Imperial Guard is receiving adulation for is part in the wars. The Second storyline, 25 years before, is when he tells about his part on the tale.

The problem here is that when a Dark Angel appears, first we think, to pay homage to the Imperial Guard he had help in the war asks him to tell the tale yet again.

As he tells his story we are ducking and firing in trenches alongise the trooper. It's quite believable. But after the tale the Dark Angel confronts him saying that somethings in his tale couldn't have happen because a) they were rookies and shouldn't know certain things and b) there was Bolt Pistol and Plasma Pistol shots whereas they had no weapons that could have done that damage. Antigone becomes scared and he is told the corret story, one he was asked never to tell. He tells the Dark Angel that at the last attack of the enemy another Dark Angel with two pistols help the soldiers fight the chaos horde. With his help, almost a godlike figurine, they were able to stop the attack long enough so the Dark Angels could reinforce their position. That space marine asked the troopers never to reveal his presence there or else he would kill them. Two of the troopers died that survive die never to regain conscious and Antigone never told anyone.

Hearing this, the dark angel becomes angry and shot Antigone for treachery. And you ask why? Well probably because the Dark Angel to help the Imperial Guard was no other that Cypher, the fallen angel.

So, in the end... This is a book to anyone who understands the Dark Angel lore or else this audiobook isn't going to make an impact and this raises a question... Who is Cypher? A anti-heroe or an evil with a plan.

Excelent plot. My only question is... Why wait 25 years to confront the guard?

Book Review: Gunheads by Steve Parker

Gunheads Gunheads by Steve Parker
My rating: 8.5 of 10 stars

In this story we follow a company as they try to recover the baneblade of Comissar Yarrick to bolster the morale that is decaying rapidly on Armaggedon. 

It's strange making a review now, two years later since I read recently a novella by David Annandale - Yarrick: Chains of Golgotha ; that tells how he came to lose the tank and his captivity.

It's not important to read but will help to understand why the Baneblade is so important. As other Imperial Guard novels it focus on them and not the superhuman space marines which for me are way easier to relate. Advisable to anyone who enjoys 40K and plays Imperial Guard army.

There is some development of some characters (mostly Stg Wulfe) and the ending is quite good.

Book Review: Relic by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

Relic Relic by Douglas Preston
My rating: 7 of 10 stars

I TRY THIS book because I read some other books by the same authors and I enjoy the feeling they gave me. It was a thrilling ride throught the Museum with a mystery of a beast, like the aligators in the sewers.

The book is full of action, history and mystery. Pendergast is not the main character as I previously thought but rather Margo Green and Vincent D’Agosta. Pendergast is almost deus-ex-machina that helps solving the problem.

From this book forward, from what I know, it changes and Pendergast become the main character.

There is a character that is writing a book about the museum and they don't want him to write about the monster because it will give a bad reputation to the museum. It's like a book within a book.

The Atmospheric setting, twists in the plot, the characters, the history behind and the policial elementals give this book a must have to any fans of X-Files. Well, not only this but did I mention is a horror story?

Movie Review: Train to Busan (2016) October Horror Fest (31)

There are two more movies from October. One I watch last night and the other on sunday. It will count 32 movies. I will tell you in the next review Why 32 instead of 31.

Train to Busan or Busanhaeng (in Korean). In Brazilian or Portugese, it was their translation it's called Invasão Zumbi... What a fvcked name... That's why I don't enjoy and never watch in my nation's language. Portugese and "brazilian" are like saying  English and American. They are the same language but have their own particular quirks. There is less difference between english and english american than portuguese and portuguese brazilian.... I won't get any further but Invasão Zumbi in english is something like Zombie Invasion...

Well forget about that... let us focus on this movie. It's awesome yet predictable.

Synopsis
The plot is quite simple... Seok Woo is a fund manager man who is very focus on his work, so focus that he even does not have time to go to his daughter recital. Soo-an is very upset with his father distance so he wants to go to Busan where her mother lives. He says he will go  in one day but after seeing her recital through her webcam takes her to Busan but by train. (Seoul is in the north and Busan is in the south). Why they don't go by car, since he's got one I can't phantom...

Meanwhile some violent manifestations are happening throughout the land. The passengers don't know much because even the tv is scarce on information.

We also have in this train Sang-hwa a hardworking man and his pregnant wife Seong-kyeong and some high school baseball team, some rich CEO and some elderly sisters, oh and a homeless man. Since their names are confusing let us say.. The father and daughter, the sisters, the husband and pregnant wife, the CEO and baseball man and homeless man...

Well, after the departure a woman begins to have seizures and soon attacks a train worker who turns into a zombie and then attacks the baseball team. In the beginning nobody moves because noone is understanding what is happening. Then people start to escape and the baseball player and his girlfriend and two other baseball escape trapping the zombies in  one carriage.  From this moment on, we understand the views on several characters. The father only thinks for himself (and his daughter) but he has no problem on closing the door (literally) on a pregnant woman. 

They soon understands that they are zombie like creatures but have no skills since they can't even open a door. Then they watch the news that the zombie outbreaks are currently throughout Korea.

The father, the daughter, the pregnant, the husband, the baseball and the girlfriend and the CEO
They disembark in Daejeon where they think there are military but they soon learn the zombies overrun everything. All the passengers try to escape to the train but some died and got separated. The pregnant girl, the child, one sister and the homeless only escape by entering a bath in the train with the zombies nearby. The father, the husband and the baseball man enter the train in the last carriage and they must save their respective selfs by going through most carriages. Then we've got some 20 minutes intense fighting but never too unrealistic. That was cool... They later save the rest of the people and try to run to the last carriage where the rest of the survivors are in but the CEO does not want to open the door trapping them with the zombies. The husband then say to father he must open the door and help her wife. After a bit moment he opens the door and everyone gets in but not before the husband is bitten and turn into a zombie. The sister also sacrifices herself so others can be saved. The rest of the crew then turns on them saying they are not reliable and must move carriage to another. By now, we've got the homeless guy, the pregnant, the baseball and his girlfriend and father and daughter.  The rest of the crew close the door so they cannot enter again. The other sister who was part of that crew sees her sister a zombie and she is angry with people selfishness and opens the carriage door and the zombies enter and massacre the bunch. Later the train stops due to accident and he survivors are force to leave, including the CEO and other surivor who had been hidden in restroom. The CEO throws the survivor against the zombies to escape.
CEO

He also throws the gilfriend to the zombies and the baseball man is not able to leave her. She turns and bits him. The conductor who had found another train sees the CEO escaping from the zombies who had bitten him and go to help  just to be food to the zombies because the CEO yet again preferes to be a survivor than food. 

The rest of the survivors escape the zombies the homeless guy sacrifices his life to defend the others. They run to the train just to find the CEO turning.  They fight and when the CEO is just to bite the pregnant woman he puts his hand on his mouth bitting him instead. He achieves to throw the CEO off the train. He then asks the pregnant to take care of his daughter. He runs off not wanting to hurt both survivors. We see a crying man and daughter... He then falls of the train breaking his neck kililng him. The train then arrives at Busan where there is noone. They travel through a long tunnel and the soldiers have orders to kill them because they can't confirm they are zombies or not but then one starts hearing a girl voice singing  (the recital she was not able to do it before) and go to rescue...


Review
This is a awesome addition to the zombie movies. One of the best I've seen. The development characters are amazing, particular the father. The little girl really do a great job as well. Even the CEO is awesome. He is willing to sacrifice everyone and when we think oh, it's just a critique of a rich guy who care nothing for anyone, we later learn when he is turning that he just wants to get to his alone mother... There are cliches? Yes, there are. But they innovate. First it's on a train, oh awesome is that? Then it's the zombies cannot see in the dark and are drawn to noise...  Two new things. What I didn't enjoy was the running zombies, bah. But okay I over it... Then we've got no real information about outside happening besides some brief information on tv and why this happened. Well, in the beginning we see two guys trying to contain a virus outbreak - we first think that's something like a asian flu or so but then a deer is run over and turns into a zombie. 

If you enjoy zombies, go watch it. It's very good. And then the underline critique on how society works...people focusing on their works that give a present to their child just to find that their child already has that present..  

Oh, the ending... it was predictable. When I am watching a zombie I usually think, heh this guy is gonna died... I predict that. I thought the homeless guy was going to save himself but nah...

Must watch Seoul Station (An animated movie prequel to this one..)

Movie Review: The Tag Along (2016) October Horror Fest (30)

The Tag Along is a Taiwanese horror movie from 2015. First of all I must say two things... Well let me do the synopsis and I will tell you what I think.

Synopsis
Ho Chih-Wei (the grandson) is very focused on his work of property agent. He barely sees his girl Shen Yi-Chun (the radio girl) and his grandmother Ho Wen Shu-Fang. Then some old woman who had previously d



isappear reappears and his grandmother starts to act strange and then disappears. First he doesn't understand but then he start to comprehend what his happening because he still feels her presence there. Then something appears, after he went to the old woman's house, and he starts to act strange... One night he goes to her girlfriend and says that he bought a house and he wants to have children (when would he see them?) but the radio girl doesn't want marriage or a child. One night they go to his house to eat with his grandmother which is not in the house. She watches him eat worms, cockroaches and other insects. She quickly grab the security guard (the uncle of the boy) but no sight of the food or the boy. She starts to wonder if it's her mind.


She starts to research about mosien (the pre-credit titles describe them as ghosts that appear in the shape of children) and she had receive a camera where a young girl with a red dress could be seen behind some hikers (including the grandmother). She then watches a moth that sure look like the girl. 

Then the grandmother appears and says that the little girl wants someone for her grandson and she goes to the woods. The girl with a group of rescue team venture behind her and soon find her. The girl then travels deep into the woods (after being separated from the rescue team) and confronts the beast. We later understand that she had a child and gave it to adoption or something like that. We have five or more minutes about remorse and such...

Later on she confronts the girl in red (now a monster or something like that) and still she prevails. Afterwards we see the radio girl, the grandmother and grandson all dining together. A moth then appears in the wall...

Review
My opinion is that this is a great movie. I have seen hundreds of movies and read a thousand books. It's very difficult to innovate or to bring something new. This movie got the idea from that photo (where we see the girl in red behind the group in the wood) and then they took several things from other books and movies... The tree spirits per example and some cliches like the girl on all four common in Japanese movies.

Nevertheless it's a good movie. The picture it's great, the acting again great but I felt that it's never fully explain who the girl is or was. They believe that if we cut down a tree needlessy we are capture by the trees but why did that happened to Grandmother? And if grandmother was willing to die for her grandson why was he capture? And what about the uncle? He was attacked and then what? Oh well.. Nevertheless this movie and others I've seen recently fueled my hunger for asian movies.

In the end thinking about it... This movie is about the destruction of our mother earth, the negligence we give to our loved ones because of work or other personal goals. Then we've feelings. The boy who didn't give importance to his grandmother and then he felt lost and girl who had to face her own personal demons of leaving a child to adoption. It's a horror movie? Yes but not that scary in my opinion bar a couple moments. 

If you enjoyed this movie go read "Classic of Mountains and Seas” where due to human beings's greed and weakness  are able to draw them to the woods planting like trees.  This is a chinese folklore and bear in mind that most Taiwanese are descended by Chinese that colonized Taiwan and escape from the Communist in the 40's.

I think Wei Ning Hsu (Tiffany Ann Hsu) has a great future in front of her because she won a lot of awards because of this movie... and she doesn't even like horror movies. I must watch Battle of Memories coming in December 2016

Movie Review: 7 Sector (2011) October Horror Fest (29)

Driller, Captain, Genetic, Boyfriend, Our Heroine, The uncle, the Doctor, The Other Driller and Comic Relief
Sector 7 was a very good movie to watch. I always enjoy movies with monsters and Japanese movies are the best. And now it seems Korea are also great doing some really interesting monsters.


Before reviewing I know they can do good movies. The Host (2000) is a good example. Tidal Waves (this is not monster movie but I think it's better than The Wave (The Norwegian movie I watched in September).

I have two in my list so far, both with Ji-won Ha (The main protagonist of Sector 7) - first is Nightmare (Gawi 2000) " and  Phone (2002) 

Synopsis

We follow a work team in a oil rig trying to struck gold. But after several failures the uncle of our main protagonist Chae Hae-Joon comes to help. After some tries they finally struck gold. After the initial drill they find out a strange fish coming out from the hole and give it to the Genetic Researcher. After three months strange things start to happen. 

So who do we have in the rig? Well you've got Cha Hae-Joon ( the female hero and one of the leaders of the team);  Captain Lee Jeong-man, Kim Dong-soo (the boyfriend of Joon), Do Sang-goo (a driller), Go Jong-yoon (another driller), Jang Moon-hyeong (Dr.) and  Park Hyeon-jeong (Female Genetic researcher) and Jang Chi-soon (The comic relief of the movie)

(If with Japanese names I can pretty guess which ones are female or male in  Korea I cannot say that ) 

Cute monster... Bad monster!
The first to die was the Genetic Research that fell to their death. They first thought it was the comic relief character because he was courting her for months without any progress and the last time he was a bit violent. They search for her and beat it up. After conducting some experiments the Doctor was killed. They search for the comic relief (he was locked up) and he was killed as well.  Then they learn that the uncle knew about the monsters. He and the genetic researcher where the ones who created from that small fish. Basically they had found out several years before that those fish were made of something akin to oil and they could burn a lot more time than regular oil and could be a possible solution to world hunger for energy sources.
The monster... Good special effects..

The two oil drillers soon die up, almost at the same time after battling with the monster. They were friend until the end. Meanwhile the captain escape in a small sub but the monster kill him breaking his window. Thinking he was the last one, the uncle set the rig on auto-destruct and try to confront the beast setting on fire. He too dies and the boyfriend dies a couple of minutes later saving our intrepid gun-ho rig worker. 

She then fights the beast several times wounding it but in the end she "drill" a hole in it. Then the rig explodes and she escapes....


She endures more pain than any man...
Review
There were several things I didn't enjoy but several I did enjoy. The monster was awesome. The setting as well. The female main protagonist is very beautiful but as she works in the oil rig we learn to respect her manners and hard-working because she stands toe-to-toe with the males. Oh I forgot there were another oil worker who died when he fell into the abyss after the cable he was standing was cut off.

The problem with the movie was the special effects. The race in the bikes on the rig - awful. The slow-motion action scenes were not that good. And the story felt akin to Alien but instead of space ship was a oil rig. Nevertheless, a very good movie and a good addition to my monster collection.

Movie Review: Grave Walkers (2015) October Horror Fest (28)

Well, I had my son sick so yesterday I had the chance to watch a movie back to back... And it hs some interesting premise (story) but everything else sucked... Grave Walkers. 

This movie is set on Halloween (appropriate) and in the beginning we think that is going one way then goes another way.

Basically a police officer arrests a woman and takes her to the precient but right from the start she knows something is wrong. Other police officers don't see a woman but other evil beings that plagued their own life making each one try to kill it.

Then the dead start to rise.... The undead are quite alike Eddie from Iron Maiden with glowing green eyes. They don't attack people per se, but are going their mind set on some task. They take hostage a priest and bless a rope. They go the precint fighting anyone who opposes them (not even headshots kill them) and fightning also some "possessed" people with glowing red eyes who are trying to escape the arrested woman (or devil if you want).

They drive the devil into the church and make a priest make an exorcism. Meanwhile the humans are going around and around doing stuff but never doing nothing at all...

In the end a red-eyed monster explodes into the church and never really know what hapepns, but we see a little girl with red eyes, probabling hinting that the devil posssessed another person. The humans that were inside the church escape but we never see to where they escape or to what...

Probably a second movie? I hope not. This movie is not good. The special effects are awful - think of sy-fy but worst. The only good thing was really the plot... Zombies vs Devil ? Btw, why were they fightning? We never know...

Movie Review: Feast III - Happy Ending (2009) October Horror Fest (27)

Misleading cover.. Honey Pie (Middle) Dies after 2m of the movie... but yeah they've got boobs so that's what sells is it not? So who am I to complain?
The third movie starts with scenes from the second - so as you can see it's the same movie slashed into two (see what I did there?)...

Synopsis 
Well this one starts where the other left off. Honey Pie waking up after being hit by shrapnel and the gang being confronted by monsters. Honey Pie is almost immediately mauled and beheaded by a monster who quickly digests and excretes her head (.. awful sighting)

Lightning has survive the blast but it's dizzy and stumbles off. The gang in the garage are attacked by the mosnters but they are able to kill the monster. Meanwhile Thunder didn't died from being disemboweled but it's run over by a army man Shitkicker. The rofftop survivors make their way into the jail and meet Shitkicker in the jail. They found out Hobo and kick his ass. We now have inside the jail Biker Queen, Tat Girl, Tit Girl, Secrets, Bartender, Slasher and Greg with a pipe in the head. Greg says that they can leave with Slasher cards. Shitkicker who seems a totally bad ass is killed accidentally by Secrets when he is manly showing how to use a gun. This alerts the monsters who come into the police station. Once they exit Slasher with Hobo and rest of the gang the other way. Slasher kicks Hobo against a monster who bites him but left him live. Meanwhile Slasher goes inside a metal container where there are a lot of people including Tit and Tat. While Slasher is standing in the wall there is a hole and the monster rapes Slasher and impregnates him. A monster then bursts and kills all other survivors inside the metal container (we don't see that). Meanwhile Secrets, Greg and Bartender help Lightning as Biker Queen frees the Biker Girls in the container and flee from the Slasher/Monster Hybrid.

As they are escaping they follow Hobo into a bus which he uses to produce meth but are attacked by monsters and Tat girl is killed. Hobo is also killed when Tit Girl throws him on fire against one monster.  Then they meet the rest of the gang (Bartender, Pipe-Greg, Secrets and Thunder) and escape in the bus that broke down and are besieged by monsters. A man in a cape appears and the monsters escape. That man is Short Bus Gus who tells them that they must go to the sewers.

While escaping Tit Girl is killed by infected Townies but another hero appears called Jean Claude Segal who kills the three townies. As they are leaving with a martial arts master and something seems to go in the right way a monster appears and bits off one his arms.

Then the group gets separated and Jean Claude and Bartender go one way and the rest the other way. While they are battling a rave made by the townies  the Queen Biker is bit off by one of the townies. Jean Claude who, meanwhile had lost the other arm, stays behind kicking townies as the rest of the gang escape.


Short Bus Gus finds out that his malfunction hearing aid was the one thing repelling the monsters is soon killed. The Slasher monster hybrid then kills Greg but Secrets attacks the monster and kills him with the pipe from Greg's head.

Biker Queen already infected sets off an internal alarm system and droves out in a bike while Bartender, Secrets and Lightning go another way. Bartender then says they are the only one left and must populate the earth. While he is saying that a giant robot steps on top of Secrets and Lightning killing the both. We then see Bartender walking alone murmuring...

Review
In the credits we see a Mexican singing that it's the end of movie three and if there is going to be a movie four will explain the robots... There wasn't a movie four.... This was the worst of the bunch because as I said we have a cliffhanger that should not exist in my opinion... nevertheless, a good movie trilogy with nice moments and very comic. Advisable Overall...

Movie Review: Feast II - Sloppy Seconds (2008) October Horror Fest (26)

When I watch the first I wanted to see the second because I really enjoy the premises. I must say from the start that if you are reading my review BEFORE watching all three movies, then stop at the first. The Second and Third and not that good when compare with the first.

Feast 2: Sloppy Seconds

Synopsis
In this one we follow Biker Queen the twin sister of Harley Mom (from the first movie) who after finding out that her sister was killed went on a revenge. She finds the Barterer alive (also from the first movie) who says it was beasts but she doesn't believe him and then he said it was Bozo. They went to his town (her  and other bikers).


There are also a pair of Mexican wrestlers midgets called Thunder and Lightning. Another survivor is Hobo (arrested after dealing methamphetamine). There is also a car dealer guy called Slasher that wants to find out that her wife is cheating on him.

All hell breaks loose and most citizens are killed. Slasher finds his wife (Secrets) fucking in the car he is escaping with the top dealer (Greg) of his company. All three of them barricade inside a house.

In the next day the biker gang arrive at the city to search for Bozo's house and they cross path with the three survivors. Meanwhile one of the biker girls is killed by the monsters. They all leave the house going separate ways. The gang and the bartender go to Bozo house just to find Honey Pie (from the previous movie) alive but Bartender beats the crap out of her because she had run off living all the first movie survivors to die. Then he throws her to the window but she doesn't die.
slasher, greg, secrets, biker girl, honey pie, biker queen, tat girl, tit girl, bartender and lightning (where's thunder?)

Slasher, Greg and Secrets receive a call from the Mexican wrestlers and the rest of the biker gang all buckle up in one place.

They realize that the only good place in town it's the jail and so the wrestlers go make one in a store. Meanwhile a comic dissection begins as Greg starts to cut a monster but after all receive farts, piss and sperm
he stops touching the beast, not before injuring the wrestlers grandmother. As he is about to stop he touches something on the beast that acts as an alarm and the monsters appear yet again. All survivors, including the wrestlers go to top of the garage.

As they are buckle there they hear a child but nobody do nothing. In the morning Greg goes to save the baby but his plan backfire and he sacrifices the baby to the monsters...

Honey Pie the other survivor is inside a store and is ambushes her. Meanwhile the group sacrifices another biker girl (Splat Girl) so they can built a catapult using the bikers girls clothes (from this moment on two biker girls are naked). They first throw the wrestler's grandmother who was gravely wounded killing her outright - but landing on the top of the police station. They try again with Thunder but this time he is thrown into the street and his disemboweled by the monsters. Greg is hurt when a pipe from the catapult explodes and he is stuck with a pipe from the mouth to the skull (didn't kill him though). Lightning then goes inside a trash can to the police but Hobo throws some dynamite and stuns hims. The shrapnel hits Honey Pie who was leaving the city falling to the floor apparently dead. The others watch as the monsters begin breaking the door. Honey Pie gets up grabs her gun and screams...

The movie ends...

Review
This movie is incomplete. Unless you are planing to watch movie three don't watch this one. It's so incomplete that the third movie follows right after the second with scenes from it. If I was to watch the second in the cinema I would be very very upset.

Movie Review: The Evil in Us (2016) October Horror Fest (25)

I don't know what to think about this movie. It's a critique on the presidential elections? I guess so...

Review
This is not a hard movie to follow. There are some guys and girls that go a island to celebrate the fourth of July. Meanwhile a cop is investigating a crime with three persons (two had died) and the weapons where teeth and claws. 

We follow this six teens in the island, partying, doing some cocaine except one girl - the outsider (she is the new girlfriend of one of the friends) is the only one who doesn't do drugs and is very upset with it - and the boyfriends says he won't do it either. From that moment on one of the guys starts behaving strangely and with rage beyond measure and starts striking down his friends killing one girl and then the mayhe begins.

Meanwhile the detective finds out that the person who sold the cocaine was the same guy on the island that first show the symptoms and they find out that the drugs have something very peculiar and strange that makes people behaving with rage and turn them into "zombies".

Then we've got some 20 or 30 minutes of violence as ones try to flee from others and being killed as so. In the end of the Massacre as the police is arriving only the first man survived with another female who shot him (but not kill him). He understood that everything that happened was because of him and tries to kill himself but it's gun was empty so he pointed to the police who kill him.

Then we've got some news about several outbreaks like the one we experience and a politician is telling that he don't understand how noone in the government do anything to stop and vow if he is elected he will do it.

What's more interesting is that between the massacre and before we watch a middle age man, almost as scientist, checking how people reacted being on cocaine with the variant. He and his wife are masochist because they even enjoy the loud screams. That man is the politician. The movie ends with a mother smoking some weed and then go berserk. It seems they are now, doing weed and cocaine...

As the credits g
o, we watch a conspiracy theorist talking to a journalism that this is a plot by the government. That they change and such but nothing really changes and so on and on, while being mocked by the newscaster... This is a critique to the bi-party that exists in America.

Synopsis
I enjoy the movie and enjoy the plot. I enjoy the critique in the end, probably done because of oncoming elections on America. They are all the same... they rule until someone messes up and then there goes the other side and so on. In Europe, on any country, there are dozens parties and most likely to have more possibilities to vote. 

Good movie to watch, beware the gore.
