Idle bodies are the devil!


Well as I woke up to bite marks on my arm, cause I haven’t eaten in forever, I was reminded of the phrase “Idle hands are the devils playground” and then I remembered the movie Idle hand so hey today is a comedy horror movie! It’s a movie from 1999 that starts Devon Sawa as Anton, Seth Green as Mick, Elden Henson as Pnub, and Jessica Alba as Molly, the love interest. In case you have never heard of this movie or seen it, or even cared to look into it, it’s a movie about a teenager named Anton with a possessed hand because he is the laziest person to live. The movie starts off with Anton’s parents being killed but we never see the face or body of the killer, the only real problem I have with the opening is how long it takes the mother to call 9-1-1. Shortly after Anton wakes up listening to music and immediately turns on the tv and starts calling for his mom that they are out of food, shortly after he calls his friends because he is out of weed as well and want them to bring him some. After he gets off his lazy ass and goes to his friend’s house we find out that he is so lazy he doesn’t even go to school and that to him the perfect life would be him sitting on the couch watching TV and smoking while hot babes bring him food all day, it is also revealed here that Anton hasn’t seen his parents in a couple of days and hasn’t bothered to worry about it until now. Being desperate for food he leaves only to find the love of his life that he has been stalking for some number of years now as dropped her lyric book, so being the gentleman that he is, he grabs her book goes to her house and awkwardly shoves it to you and walks away without a word.
After we see there is a druid priestess hunting down a demonic entity but by the time she gets to where it was last it has left, going back to her Mystery Machine and marking on the map where the next location is she finds out it makes a pentagram somehow. Anton finds his dead parents who have been in the living room the whole time, how he couldn’t have smelt them is a mystery though, shortly after his friends arrive and try to call the cops but Anton’s hand kills them. This shows the only awesome part of the movie when his friends come back to life, he assumes they are zombies but as Mick says “No man we just want to chill, when we saw the light we were just like fuck that man and came back to our bodies” best undead friends ever.  You might be thinking that I have giving too much info here but I haven’t there is still much that I won’t say because I think you should actually watch this movie.
This is a comedy if nothing else, I mean yea people are dying and getting killed but it’s by a fucking hand, if you can’t over power a hand not a whole body just a hand then you’re pretty sad. I like this movie, it’s definitely a 7 out of 10 if only for the fact I can always laugh at it.  My friend calls it a spoof but the comedy rout is just the way horror movies were going at that time, it’s one of the movies where you can play the Claw game. The Claw game if you don’t know is where at action parts of the movie you just play the audio from the claw scene from Toy-Story and it sounds like it still fits in a way and is awesome. It is a movie you can watch with friends, even if they are somebody who gets scared easy there is no way you can be scared by this at all unless you already have a fear that your hand is going to go evil and kill you. Well that’s it and now I have to go find something to eat before my head turns evil and tries to eat the rest of my body, remember to leave movies and shows that you want me to do in the comments if any.

Lo-ve This movie



                Well the first thing that should be said is I Lo-ve this movie!...get it? Lo-ve, like Lo, the movie’s title :D… I never claimed to be good at puns but I digress. I first found this movie while waiting to go to a Japanese exam, I ended up being half an hour late because I just got so sucked into the movie and didn’t want to stop watching.
                The basic story is that a guy opens a gate to hell and summons a demon to find his lost girlfriend who was taken to hell.  The movie stars Sarah Lassez (who is an amazing actress)Photobucket Ward RobertsPhotobucket, and Jeremiah Birkett Photobucket. This movie is interesting as it mostly takes place in one room, it seems like it could be a play with its setting. I am not one for romance movies but for some reason movies like this and Wristcutters: A Love story, I really love; come to think of it, the dark undertone and death probably are what I love about them. This movie is also a comedy, somewhat in the style of the Evil Dead movies, its dark, kind of morbid and just plain funny.
                Throughout the movie we get to see the beginning of the love story, though it is starting at the end. As the protagonist Justin summons the demon Lo to help him find this lost girlfriend April. Though Lo promises to eat Justin, by giving him the new name of Dinner, he says he needs Justin to remember all he can about her and tell their story so that he may better find her. As they look more into the past Justin starts to see how odd their relationship was, yet he tries to deny it all. This movie also has a few musical numbers, the first given by the demon that took April from Justin even!
                I can’t give everything away, mostly because this movie is better to be watched then to be told to you, and has a truly great story as no matter what keeps happening Justin keeps on asking for his love April and never gives up. And hey if you have a girl that happens to like weird romantic like movies it might be worth watching with them on a date.
Remember guys if you have any suggestions for movies or anything just leave it in the comments and I’ll see what I can do. And don't expect many of my post to have pictures and videos.

Deadgirl (not a zombie movie)

Well since I have done one anime review, and it feels too soon to do another one, I shall do a weird horror movie! Deadgirl is the topic of the day blog, and it is a movie that I have mixed feelings about. The few people I know call this a zombie movie, and though there is an undead person in this movie I see it more as a psychological movie than anything else. The movie starts off with Rickie (played by Shiloh Fernandez) and JT (Noah Segan) waiting outside for school to start, JT Making fun of Rickie for crushing on one of the popular girls in school Joann (Candice Accola), when the bell rings for classes to start JT talks Rickie into skipping and to fallow him to an abandon mental asylum. After fucking around for a while they find their way to the basement where they are chased by a dog into another room with a door rusted shut where they find a nude girl with a plastic bag on her head. First they think there is a killer in the room but they see her move so JT thinks they should help her but Rickie thinks they should call the cops, after getting into a fight Rickie leaves and returns later with a gun. JT tells him that after he left the girl kept trying to bite him so he choked her to death even though she was chained down and couldn’t hurt him, he did this twice then takes the gun from Rickie and shoots her 3 times but she doesn’t die. JT comes to the conclusion that she is dead and thinks it best to keep her as a sex slave, Rickie isn’t sure what to do next but he doesn’t want to join his friend in this questionable act.
                That’s just the beginning of this movie, it gets more interesting from there and even though this movie is indeed about a zombie I see it as also a coming of age tale for Rickie if that makes any sense as he has to decide what he should do about his friend keeping a woman against her will as a sex slave even though she is dead, all the while not wanting to get his friend in trouble and having to worry about other things happening in his life because of this. I will admit this story is a bit messed up, there is gore and as a horror movie it messes with the mind a bit more than it does focus on the dead girl, as it mostly focuses on what they are doing with the girl. It is also possible that they guys who made this just wanted to make a movie about sex with a Deadgirl that eats people, but the ending is bitter sweet in my opinion as Rickie has to make an extremely difficult decision. I do recommend this but personally I think a single viewing of this is all a person needs, it is on Netflix instant stream.

Like this review? Leave me a comment suggesting any other movies you think would be good, and next blog will be another anime.

Introduction to Me

Well seeing how this is my first blog before i start posting things that actually are my views on things I probably should tell a bit about my self. First off Trench is for Trench Coat since i wear one everywhere, don't ask me why its more of a mental "I have to wear this or I'll get stressed" as well of a I don't like people messing with me thing. When I wear my trench coat people tend to leave me alone or just don't notice me, granted in high school most people thought that I had a gun on me most of the time.
B I grew up watching horror movies, since I was but a wee lad they used movies to put me to sleep, so most of the things I will be posting shall be horror movie reviews and anime reviews, yes I know many people do this already but hey everybody has a voice and why not listen to a crazy man?
Triangle, I also make LP on YouTube, under the username WolfyFreak, chose that name cause I couldn't pick between two different nick names I had at the time. All in all my name is Phreak, about twice a week I shall be writing a review of an anime or a movie and who knows what else, I am doing this partly out of boredom and partly so that it may help keep the small part of sanity I have left and get me through the rest of college.
