Hey guys and ghouls, guess who is back! Oh, and not only back, but ready to do a review that may very well surprise the fuck out of you. A TROMA FILM REVIEW. Yeah...you read that right. Here is what you may not know about your good ol' DawL though...I fucking love Poultrygeist!

See?! I don't care who are, what kind of crazy shit you are into, this film will make you laugh your ass off. It is just insanely awesome, and by far my favorite Troma film. 

     Okay, little rundown of the film for those that haven't seen it. The film focuses on Arbie, a young man trying to win back the heart of his ex girlfriend Wendy, who has left him for another woman... are you seeing a pattern here? Arbie, Wendy, and of course the chicken joint featured in the film, American Chicken Bunker. A definite satire of the American fast food industry. Anywho, the above mentioned chicken joint (ACB) has been built on top of sacred Indian burial ground, thus causing the rise of demon fowl hellbent on killing everyone..and in the most hilarious ways I might add.

                                      

This film took 6 years from the start of writing to the big screen! I have to be honest, in the nearly 40 years that Troma has been around, this is by far my favorite thing they have done. It made me laugh from start to finish, the musical numbers are rather catchy, and it literally makes fun of everyone...can't beat that!!

Gore: 5 stars

Story: 4 stars

Overall: 5 stars

Favorite Kill: Ya know, I could honestly go with any kill in the film, but I have to say the very weird, bearded, redneck, chicken fucking employee that gets his dick bitten off by a frozen demon chicken, and subsequently ends up with a mop handle shoved up his ass, and out the other end stood out to me. Haha! Wow....only in a Troma Film.

 First of all I will represent that this is my fave Troma flick yet released so this review may be a bit biased.....fuck it! This quasi musical gore fest is embedded with such blood sweat and tears you have to recognize the cheese that is forced upon you....a dry hump scene and titties at under the 2 min mark and full frontal male masturbation at the 3min mark sounds like a winnner!

 Anal death, lesbian action, Jason Yachanin, Kate Graham, Elske McCain, Lloyd Kaufman, Joe Flieshaker, Debbie Rochon, Ron Jeremy, Explosive diarrihatic death, "secret sauce", and chicken fuckin all here folks!

This flick almost feels like a zombie flick fueled by the American thirst for fried chicken and fast food, dollar Tuesdays will not discourage thee, but there is a message to this flick and I totally feel it, when a salad cost $4.99 and a burger is a $1.00 lol get it how you live it!

My fave song in this flick has to be Slow Fast Food Love its surreal and hits the nail on the head. Putting up with a job that pays peanuts and the ever lasting chase to find misses right!

FAVE KILL : Explosive diarrhea resulting in anal explosion and projectile feces!

Interplanetary (2008) - review

Welcome my cheese brethren who have waited patiently for the Krawlr to get on his shit and review some oozy cheese that has been waiting to melt at the seams, well never fear my 12 pack is half finished and the feature presentation is cocked and loaded! Some sci-fi cheesy horror is on the menu so let us dive into my demented abyss........

I love cheesy flicks that take place living and working on Mars and the best thing you can do on your free time is fuck around! The inhabitants of said station start this flick off with more drama and sleaze then you can process and did I mention this is only in the first 5 min and theres been at least 2 kills! Aside from my enthusiasm, the dry humor and surly attitudes these actors spill out is like watching an episode of the Office on day old acid. Did I forget to mention you get the first sex scene at the 8 minute mark, yay!

Bulky guns, some gore, and creature effects will keep you in a daze yet I found the actors and the way they embraced the cheese was the stand out here and I have to give a nod out to the infamous "fossil on Mars" plotline filled with viscera, tits, witty dialogue, and true love for the horror this flick has my vote!

Lotsa fun, bring your friends ova, funyuns, meatballs, and space eggs.....u'll luv this low budget gem!

HATE CRIME - A glimpse into the upcoming film from James Cullen Bressack

Directed by: James Cullen Bressack

Written by: James Cullen Bressack, Jarret Cohen

Cast: Jody Barton, Nicholas Clark and Greg Depetro

Runtime: 74 minutes

Rating: Unrated

Hello my darlings, and welcome back to Gruesome Encounters. First let me start off by wishing everyone a happy October! We have some great things in store for everyone this month, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled!

     Now, let's get down to business, shall we? Tonight I had the pleasure of viewing a fantastic, upcoming found footage film. Now, anyone that knows me is aware that this is my favorite genre. I went into this one knowing nothing about it whatsoever, and was very pleasantly surprised. Tonight I watched "Hate Crime". Allow me to show you the trailer so that you can get an idea of what to expect for yourself.

What a beautiful sight!

This film  focuses on a family that soon finds out they have MUCH bigger problems than a forgotten anniversary, or sibling rivalry. This film wastes no time, and holds nothing back. What is supposed to be a boring birthday party for the youngest son turns into their worst nightmare, and quickly.

This film is a great example of the very reason why I love the found footage subgenre so much. It makes everything so authentic, and so incredibly assaulting. It sucks you in, slaps you around for awhile, and spits you back out... forever changed.

"Hate Crime" is going to leave it's mark in horror forever. Some will find it vile, despicable, and highly disturbing. But this sort of thing happens in society every day. We choose to ignore the fact that our society is fueled by hate, greed, and prejudice. We close our eyes, cover our ears, and say nothing. This is a wake up call, and not the early morning phone ringing in a hotel type. More like a nails on the chalkboard, get hit in the face with a hammer type of wake up call. 

     Some might find the shaky camera a turn off, but let's be fair here. This is a found footage film, what do you expect? I would imagine that people in the middle of a hate fueled killing spree wouldn't stop and say to themselves "I better hold this camera steady while I stab this person to death". I feel it adds to the authenticity of the subgenre. It gives me a tense feeling, and leaves me wondering what I will be seeing once the camera does indeed steady. 

     This is definitely going to be a film to watch out for, and I anticipate it to be widely talked about as well. The subject matter is definitely a sore spot in our society, and perhaps this will be an eye opener for many.
