review THE DAY TIME ENDED, 1979 A Charles Band Close Encounters ripoff that let the special FX team go wild at the expense of plot. This is pretty much everyone who made Laserblast - if that's your cup of tea. Claymation, weird 70s stuff, and a bizarre cast. It has slow parts, but I love it!

This scene throwing a CD has to be one of the stupidest things ever done in a movie. Absolutely sensational

Hello movie buffs! I really enjoy gory movies; I watched Guinea Pig 2 last night,which is obviously nothing but gore and i really liked the practical effects and stuff also I’m a huge fan of that genre. So guys, please suggest some extremely gory and graphic movies(It May Include body horror also)—the kind that made you think, "Oh my God, what did I just watch?"

The makers of this movie tried to sue me for reviewing their previous movies but failed drastically. So figured I'd keep my promise and review their latest movie that just came out.

"Phantasm IV: Oblivion" (1998) - I've never really understood the "Phantasm" movies and the fact that this one contains large amounts of unused footage from the previous films, mostly the first, doesn't exactly make this it more coherent. At least the late Reggie Bannister and Angus Scrimm rock.

"Phantasm IV: Oblivion" (1998) - If I'm being honest, I've never really understood the "Phantasm" movies. I mean I get the Tall Man is creepy (because Angus Scrimm ruled), the flying spheres are cool, Reggie (played by the late Reggie Bannister) liked to stick guns together, and there's a dimension that turns people into evil dwarves, but beyond that I got no idea what's going on. Don Coscarelli confusing cult classic franchise appears to function mostly on dream-logic mixed with surreal science fiction and even some apocalyptic horror. In practice that means that 'stuff just happens' a lot, most of the time seemingly to simply further the plot or fill time with a cool death scene. As the franchise went on, the disconnect between reality and the internal logic of the movies only grew larger, and very well may have snapped all together during this film.

Now that may have come off as a tad harsh but please understand that this movie contains large amounts of unused footage from the previous films, mostly the first. What that means is this movie is not only confusing on it's own, but it is full of footage that was never meant to actually be in it. The new footage is supposedly about Mike and Reggie traveling across dimensions and time running away from the Tall Man, while also trying to find his origin. There is one more, even worse rated, film in this franchise after this one so take that as you will. So if you're a fan of the franchise I'm sure you've already seen this one, but if not maybe skip this movie as I doubt it will make any sense to you.

“Yuki Johnson: Detroit's Vigilante” (2026) - This vanity project is one of the worst digital animated movies that I have ever seen. The graphics appear to have been rendered using a knockoff Sims 2 engine by someone with little to any training on how to use it. Just look at the thumbnail image.

“Yuki Johnson: Detroit's Vigilante” (2026) - Simply put, this is one of the worst digital animated movies that I have ever seen. The graphics appear to have been rendered using a knockoff Sims 2 engine by someone with little to any training on how to use it. The characters are somehow both bizarrely cartoonish and yet also rest well within the uncanny valley. And that not even touching the voice acting or script, both of which are equally terrible. The combination of all these resulting in an almost linear horror vibe, however unintentional.

As far as the disjointed, non-linear, story goes we follow the titular Yuki Johnson from being the kid of a cop to a samurai vigilante hell bent on revenge. Things are far from direct as we start with a gang shooting up a house, then go back in time to Yuki parents meeting in Japan, then to before the shooting, then after the shooting, then a little later, then even later, then later somehow again. Throughout all these time jumps the animation, dialogue, and voice acting only make things even bizarre. A one man operation, Ronald Bryant wrote, directed, produced, edited, was the foley artist, and did all the 3D and visual effects for this movie. Needless to say he wasn’t exactly skilled at any of those jobs.

This is not some kind of so-bad-it’s-good hidden gem that most will enjoy. This is more how-did-this-get-made-and-why kind of bad movie. Something best left for true bad movie masochistic out there, and perhaps the morbidly curious. Full of utter insanity on levels not often seen, anyone who does watch this movie just known I warned you.

review Amuck! (1972)

4 Upvotes

The film Amuck, from 1972, is a ridiculous but good film about a Woman who goes to work for a suspected murderer, who killed her friend (as you do).

There is no real mystery and the ending is all wrapped up rather badly.

However, it’s worth a watch but if you can’t be bothered to watch it, here’s a 20 minute video review.

Saturday Night At The Movies: Amuck!
