Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives (2010)
From IMDb: A group of trannies are violently bashed and left for dead. The surviving ladies regain consciousness, confidence, and courage ready to seek out revenge on the ones who attacked them.
(18:57:10) Alex Seda: Helen Keller Joke right off the bat?
(18:57:13) Ronnie: I’m liking the crackly old style intro credits 
(18:57:34) Alex Seda: They are packing on the Grindhouse feel pretty thick
(18:58:35) Alex Seda: This is a pretty slick uninterrupted shot for the credits
(18:59:09) Ronnie: yeah, shame everyone is either called ‘girl’ or ‘honey’
(18:59:41) Ronnie: Written & Directed by Israel?
(18:59:52) Alex Seda: The whole country!
(18:59:55) Ronnie: Jesus Christ they’re horrible trannies!
I’m not usually a fan of human killers in my movies of choice. Truth be told, they scare me too badly. Even if you’re superstitious like me, you know we have far more to fear from real people. And if you’re not gullible like yours truly, you know that we only have the living to fear. And a lot of them are evil. So having said that, understand that the fact that I loved Borderland is a big deal, meaning it’s a pretty damn good movie to make me overlook my preferences. Set your own psycho-killer-with-a-pulse quotient and adjust accordingly.
Three guys who just graduated from college head down to Mexico and run afoul of a killer cult. That’s basically it. Yet somehow such a simple premise had me physically feeling tense and tingling with fear. We’re hit with a nasty, gnarly prologue killing and then we get a long leash with which to run and eventually hang by while vicariously enjoying fun in the sun con cervezas y senoritas. You know what is coming, but you have to wait for it. Meanwhile the sense of dread builds. Once the caca hits the fan, you can sympathize with these kids who are all alone in a foreign country where even the police are afraid of the killers.
They weren't fucking around with the title.
Rutger Hauer is no stranger to us here at Midnight Showing, and he shouldn’t be a stranger to you either. Most famous for his role opposite Harrison Ford in the Ridley Scott directed sci-fi/dystopian classic Blade Runner, Hauer has carved out an…interesting resume of films including one where he played a blind swordsman. Now he can add homeless folk hero to that list. Jason Eisner, director of the Killer Christmas Tree Rampage short TREEVENGE (which is available to watch for free just about everywhere on the damn internet) has adapted another one of his shorts into a feature length Grindhouse opus which delivers in every way it’s audacious title promises and then some.
I Saw the Devil (2010)
Going in to this I knew it was a Korean film, but I had no idea what the film was about. I’d heard it recommended by SO many people that I HAD to check it out. And I’m glad I did!
In short the film is your basic revenge story: When his pregnant fiancee becomes the latest victim of a serial killer, a secret agent blurs the line between good and evil in his pursuit of revenge. (IMDB.com)
The movie starts with a woman, in her car, on the phone. She explains to her fiancée that she’s got a flat tyre and waiting on the tow truck to arrive. A car pulls up and a gentleman gets out and offers to help fix her car. She politely declines and the guy walks away. The guy returns with gusto, smasher her windscreen in then smashing her brains in.
Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991)
Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (aka: Lik Wong) is a movie adaptation of a Japanese manga (comic book to us westerners), but don’t let that put you off. This isn’t Hollywood going lame on comic book adaptations, oh no, this is full on, in yer face, blood, gore, and action. And on the cheap!
Pembalasan ratu pantai selatan (1989) aka: Lady Terminator
If you haven’t read my review of Lady Terminator, or seen the movie, then you need to get your finger out and do so. Pronto!
But, as a bonus, if you click HERE you’ll be able to read an interview with Barbara Anne Constable (aka: Lady Terminator) which was done by the uber-lucky Lew Ojeda, and her reply to one question with “I appeared in Australian Penthouse as ‘November Pet of the Month’ when I was 19 – four years before I made Lady Terminator” means I have a new Google mission.
Rubber (2010)
Yes, it’s true. I just watched a movie about a telepathic tyre called Robert.
From IMDb: When Robert, an inanimate tire, discovers his destructive telepathic powers, he soon sets his sights on a desert town; in particular, a mysterious woman becomes his obsession.
The movie starts with a car driving down the road weaving all over the place to knock down chairs. I’ve no idea why, but out the boot of the car comes a cop who babbles on about ‘no reason’ then gets back in the boot and the car drives off. After a short time we see our ‘hero’ finding his feet (or treads I suppose) and trundling through the desert. When he comes across a plastic bottle he discovers (after several attempts) that he can run over the bottle and crush it. Robert then crushes/smashes several other objects, but along the way he discovers that he can use the power of his mind to detonate things.
Pembalasan ratu pantai selatan (1989) aka: Lady Terminator
I’d heard great things about this awesome Indonesian bad movie. Thus, for your enjoyment, I just had to subject myself to it. And it is awesome!
It starts off rather bland, with a (rather ugly) woman shagging some guy (cowgirl styley) whereby as she climaxes she does something or other to his penis and blood spurts everywhere. She finishes by walking towards the came and uttering the awesome line of: “is there any man who can satisfy me?”
The plot (for what there is) is pretty basic. So basic in fact that IMDb gives it one line: The spirit of an ancient evil queen posesses the body of a young anthropological student, who then goes on a murderous rampage.
Although it is, it seems, based on a book called The Legend of the South Sea Queen.
Gamera 2: Assault of the Legion
Yep, that’s right. The big flying turtle is BACK! And, wow, this one was a big surprise! If you need to be brough up to speed on the other big G, check out my review of Gamera (1).
Big G’s lesser known brother (Gamera) returns, once again, to save Tokyo from ‘the Legion’. As IMDb says: A strange meteor lands in Japan unleashing hundreds of insect-like “legion” creatures which find their way into Tokyo. When the military fails to control the situation, Gamera shows up to deal with the ever-evolving space adversary.
OK, first thing I noticed about Gamera 2 is that it’s definitely no kids film. Seconds after the fifteen minute mark we see an underground train driver about to be attacked by a Legion creature. I expected it to be the usual driver-escapes-in-the-nick-of-time thing, or the creature would give him a nasty bruise, but no. We cut to the cabin, hear a scream, see the drivers hand come up, into the shot, and blood spray everywhere!
