[Opinion] Batfleck
Dear Internet,
You have again shown us your hatred and wrongful judgement over the past few days. You said horrible things, destroyed a man's excitement for getting this magnificent chance. Ben Affleck is a great actor and a fantastic director and yes, he might have played a blind superhero in the past but you shouldn't judge him on one performance. One bad choice he has made. I mean, look at Colin Farrell as Bullseye, probably in my top 25 list of most terrible villains of all time.
The whole drama you boys and girls are causing is in a way good publicity for the movie. The first Superman movie from Zack Snyder was, well, let's say it was just meh. I didn't care about it either because I'm not into superheroes that much, except Batman. People are using arguments or are yelling that WB has made the wrong choice. Others are saying that this is the same story like Heath Ledger's role in The Dark Knight. First off all, you should never compare a finished trilogy to a Superman sequel. It's going to be diferent and you know it.
Second, Ben Afflick can easily play an older Batman. I mean, wasn't this the point of the whole Dark Knight trilogy? Batman is a symbol and the torch needs be passed to another person. The symbol must live on to protect the world from criminals. Yes, ok, it's not Gordon-Levitt and thank god for that. The trilogy stands on it's own and it had it's run. Just be happy that Nolan made three tw Batman movies and one golden one, thanks to the performance of Heath Ledger. We shouldn't care about the person who's behind the mask. I'll compare Affleck's Batman like I compare Clooney's or Kilmer's Batman. For me, there's only one and that's Bale's Batman. If Afflick manages to do a better job than Bale, I'll be damned happy too. I'll end it with a quote. Fits perfectly.
‘People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can’t do that as Bruce Wayne, as a man I’m flesh and blood I can be ignored I can be destroyed but as a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.’
Walking Games Trailertime!
The Walking Games: Catching Zombies
It's been a few weeks I've posted stuff so my apologies. I'm trying to get back on the horse and I'm working on new formula's to test on the site. Let's continue our regular schedule!
As we all know Comic Con happened this weekend and with CC alot of new trailers for our favourite movies and tv series. I'd like to share two thingies with you and those are The Walking Dead S4 and Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The Walking Dead seems that it completely went offtrack with the comics so I am kind of excited where this will end. I don't really compare anymore and any comparison is just nice but after three seasons we all have to realize that they want to do something else with it. They have the basic material, the locations, a main story but they are free to do what they want.
Hell, the writers could even kill off Daryl! Robert Kirkman, the creator of the comics, told this to reporters after AMC’s The Walking Dead panel: But specifically about the Daryl thing–that fan reaction is going to get him killed. I feel like it’s a dare. Like, ‘Oh, really? You’re gonna riot? We’ll see…we’ll see. No one is safe.”
I guess not. I'm really curious where they're going to take this. The only thing I wish for TWD is that they leave some of the drama and venture out of the prison. The surviving aspect needs to get back on the table again! Let's hope this will happen in season 4.
And let's not forget our second trailer of the week: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Inactive
Greetings and salutations everyone. I'd like to thank you all for following me in my mission to get this blog as popular as it was back in the days. I've been inactive for two weeks and I completely forgot to warn you guys about it so my apologies for that! I'll be posting soon again but I have a lot of stuff happening right now. Thanks for sticking around!
Lego Z
Lego Movie reveals first trailer
The Lego Movie has released a fresh new trailer.The computer-animated adventure comedy follows an average LEGO figure called Emmet who has been mistaken as the Masterbuilder. Our Anti-hero is sent on a mission to defeat an evil dictator who's plotting to destroy the universe... well, kind of.
Emmet is voiced by Parks And Recreation Chris Pratt and is joined by an amazing voice cast which includes Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman, Alison Bree, Liam Neeson, Elizabeth Banks, Nick Offerman and Will "Lego Batman" Arnett. The Lego Movie was directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller and opens on 14 February 2014.
World War Z gets a sequel
Brad Pitt will be back for more zombie packed action as Paramount is planning a sequel to World War Z
The 300 Bald Matt Damons for Elysium
New trailer for 300: Rise Of An Empire
The sequel follows a large sea battle between the defending Greeks and the invading Persian army, as well as explains the story behind King Xerxes and his almighty force. Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) marches on the Persian armies with his right hand woman Artemisia( Eva Green ) whilst Queen Cersei Lannister/Gorgo ( Lena Headey ) tries to stop them.
Do not expect a brilliant storyline but a lot of violence and exciting action scenes. 300: Rise Of An Empire will open in the US on 7 March 2014. I'll probably bring a table with me to the theatre and dine in "Hell".
New Elysium TV Spot
Neil Blomkamp's Elysium has released a first official TV spot, in which Matt Damon prepares for an attack on Elysium, the futuristic upper-class sanctuary for the rich.
It's 2159 and the population of Earth is split into two classes: The wealthy inhabitants of the Elysium space station and the poor buggars left on the ruined planet. Matt Damon plays Bald Matt Damon "Max", a man in need of access to the space station. Social world problems and a lot of action. It looks and feels like District 9 so I'm guessing it's gonna be pretty fun to watch.
Co-starring Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga and Diego Luna, Elysium will open in the US on 8 August 2013.
The Desolation of Need For Speed
New epic trailer for The Desolation of Smaug
An epic first trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug has been released online and you can watch it right here.
The film picks up where the events of An Unexpected Journey has left us: Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) and his spicy gang of Dwarves are on their way to reclaim their homeland. Forward to the Lonely Mountain!
But it's not that easy though, with their homeland currently inhabited by Sherlock Smaug, a rather huge dragon played by Benedict Cumberbatch. And there's even more to worry because they're still hunted by Azog the Defiler, a group of Woodland Elves and creatures from the Necromancer, also played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Oh evil evil Cumberbatch.
Part also 2 introduces Evangeline Lilly’s newly created character, warrior Elf Tauriel, Luke Evans’ steely Bard the Bowman and Legolas! Check the good stuff out:
On set promo for Need For Speed
Director Scott Waugh talks about just how exciting the new film will be.
"I'm going to allow you that thrill," says Waugh, "and put you in that seat and let you drive at 200mph". And amid all that, there might be a story in there somewhere too!
Aaron Paul is in it so yeah, cars& nitro bitch! Take a look at the new video here:
Movie Monstrosity Blog: The Ascension
It's time for a fresh start. A new beginning. The rise of an old veteran returning to the battlefield for the last time, a battle with only one goal: Victory over the Blogosphere! I'm probably making no sense to you but that's alright. You know what they say: When life gives you potatoes, you make potato salad. And I got just the recipe. Allons-y..... or Geronimo!
Matt Smith leaves Doctor Who
It's a sad day for Doctor Who-fans, or Whovians as we call them. The Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith, is leaving the series at the end of this year. Viewers will see his Doctor regenerate in the 2013 Christmas special but we will be seeing him in the 50th anniversary episode in November, which Smith has already filmed.
Matt Smith first stepped into the Tardis in 2010 and began his four year span as the goofy but emotionally striking Doctor. The Tenth Doctor, David Tennant, did a magnificent job and made him unforgettable. Smith had to do an even better job and somehow he managed to create a brilliant Doctor. I pity the actor who'll have to play the Twelfth Doctor.
Some words from Showrunner Steven Moffat:
"Every day, on every episode, in every set of rushes, Matt Smith surprised me. The way he'd turn a line, or spin on his heels, or make something funny, or out of nowhere make me cry - I just never knew what was coming next.
"The Doctor can be clown and hero - often at the same time - and Matt rose to both challenges magnificently. And even better than that, given the pressures of this extraordinary show, he is one of the nicest and hardest-working people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Whatever we threw at him - sometimes literally - his behaviour was always worthy of the Doctor."
"Great actors always know when it's time for the curtain call, so this Christmas prepare for your hearts to break as we say goodbye to number 11. Thank you Matt - bow ties were never cooler," said Moffat.
The statement of Matt Smith:
"Doctor Who has been the most brilliant experience for me as an actor and a bloke, and that largely is down to the cast, crew and fans of the show.
"I'm incredibly grateful to all the cast and crew who work tirelessly every day to realise all the elements of the show and deliver Doctor Who to the audience. Many of them have become good friends and I'm incredibly proud of what we have achieved over the last four years.
"Having Steven Moffat as show runner write such varied, funny, mind bending and brilliant scripts has been one of the greatest and most rewarding challenges of my career. It's been a privilege and a treat to work with Steven - he's a good friend and will continue to shape a brilliant world for the Doctor.
The fans of Doctor Who around the world are unlike any other; they dress up, shout louder, know more about the history of the show (and speculate more about the future of the show) in a way that I've never seen before.
"Your dedication is truly remarkable. Thank you so very much for supporting my incarnation of the Time Lord, number 11, who I might add is not done yet - I'm back for the 50th anniversary and the Christmas special.
"It's been an honour to play this part, to follow the legacy of brilliant actors, and helm the Tardis for a spell with 'the ginger, the nose and the impossible one'. But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go and Trenzalore calls. Thank you guys. Matt."
So who's going to be The Twelfth Doctor? Benedict Cumberbatch? Hugh Laurie? Tom Hiddleston? Ben Wishow? David Morrissey? Let's start guessing!

International Trailer for Django Unchained! | Prometheus sequel
After an extremely long break, I have finally returned to my Iron Throne. What have I been doing? Living Like a Lannister of course! That's what I've been doing. Living Like a Lannister, sounds catchy. I have to coin that.
Django Unchained trailers released
Revenge story? Check. An amazing cast? Check. Tarantinoesque cinematography? Double Check. Oscar-nominations. Triple Check.
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained stars Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles - dead or alive.
Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival...
Here's the teaser and the international trailer. I've watched the Italian dubbed first, and I found it so ironic that an American Spaghetti Western was dubbed into Italian. It used to be otherwise in the past!

Ridley Scott wants Prometheus sequel
With the prequel running in theatres, Scott has proven himself again that he is able to create magnificent horror/action movies. Prometheus is more of a Xenomorph of both worlds, combined with great visuals and brilliant acting from Fassbender. It's very logical that there will be a sequel.
From the very beginning, I was working from a premise that lent itself to a sequel," says Scott. "I really don't want to meet God in the first one. I want to leave it open to Shaw saying, 'I don’t want to go back to where I came from. I want to go where they came from.'"
The original title for Prometheus was going to be Paradise, intimating that Paradise would probably now be the title of the sequel.
"I'd love to explore where [Dr. Shaw] goes next and what does she do when she gets there," says Scott, "because if it is paradise, paradise can not be what you think it is. Paradise has a connotation of being extremely sinister and ominous."
"Because [the Engineers] are such aggressive fuckers," he continues, "I always had it in there that the God-like creature that you will see actually is not so nice, and is certainly not God."
BIG THINGS HAVE SMALL BEGINNINGS INDEED.
Also, The soundtrack from Prometheus is now my alarm clock. Waking up is awesome now.
Bullhead in US theaters soon | Machete Returns | Spider-man trailer launches
We are up and running again. Welcome to this place of serenity, a place where we can chat about films, music, films and of course films. This is MMB, and we're back on our feet! _________________________________
Bullhead will soon appear in US theaters
Machete is back for more unnecessary but fun violence
The first film made 44 million, which quadrupled the 10 million budget for the film. The script is written and shooting begins in April. The movie will appear in cinemas somewhere in 2013.
New The Amazing Spider-man trailer launched
Bullhead will soon appear in US theaters
The Oscar nominated film Bullhead/Rundskop will appear in US theaters on 17 February 2012, a few days before the Oscar ceremony. Bullhead won the award for Best Film on several film festivals, thanks to the brilliant acting of Mathias Schoenaerts, who prepared for the role for two years, only eating thousands of chicken breasts, pasta and rice combined with excessive lifting training. He gained 60 pounds of muscle for the role which is truly amazing. Eat that, Christian Bale.
Bullhead tells the story of Belgium’s illegal hormone trade, mixed with an impossible love and a complicated, emotional main character who is on the verge of breaking down. Distributor Drafthouse Films will be opening the Oscar-nominated film on February 17th, 2012 in New York, Los Angeles and Austin. The US trailer is released.
Machete is back for more unnecessary but fun violence
Robert Rodriguez has started to give more information on "Machete Kills", the swordy action sequel for Machete. Danny Trejo is in talks to reprise his role as the badass Mexican with an attitude and it seems that the plot is busted with B-movie trash.
The main character Machete will have to battle a billionaire arms dealer who plans to spread war across the world with a weapon of mass destruction. Sounds like a regular action movie? Not quite, the mega weapon will be located in space. How d'you like them apples?
New The Amazing Spider-man trailer launched
My next words are very opinionish and I would try to exclude my opinion out of these posts but I just have to do this. Sam Raimi's version of Spiderman ( with Tobey Maguire) was so awful I had to murder every spider that I saw after watching the first film. I never liked Spiderman and after watching Raimi's version I had to puke and change my opinion to hatred. When I heard about a reboot, I puked even harder and my opinion didn't change after watching the teaser. It had a whole "Mirror-Edgy" first person feeling and it just didn't feel good.
But Columbia Pictures has released a new trailer containing a completely different Spiderman. Andrew Garfield plays a darker, sexy and laughable character. Spidey has to fight against new villain " The Lizard", a role played by Rhys Ifans. It seems that it's a bit different. This story has nothing to do with the original trilogy as you will notice the tagline "The Untold Story" in the trailer.
Spider-Man,' which stars Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, will hit theaters on July 3, 2012.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! Expect to be blown away in 2012 in term of movies! Oh, don't watch New Year's Eve, there's a horse and a man who doesn't know what he's doing any more in it. Oh yeah, and Zac Efron.

Speechless. Here are the lyrics if you want to sing along while you watch this 150 times like I just did.

Johnny Depp talks The Rum Diary
TotalFilm recently had an exclusive interview with Johnny Depp. He talks about his his role as Paul Kemp in The Rum Diary.

The Rum Diary opens on 30 November 2011 in US Theatres. You can expect a small column about the movie soon.
South Park renewed through season 20
Just as we thought that Trey and Matt were preparing to end south park after 15 seasons of sheer mockery and entertainment, they shocked us with the following deal.
It was announced by Michele Ganeless, president, COMEDY CENTRAL. The deal for three additional seasons ensures the top-rated Emmy Award-winning series to keep running on screen through 2016 and a milestone 20th season. Parker and Stone will continue to write, direct and edit every episode of "South Park," as they have since the premiere of the series in 1997.
Titanic 3D trailer is here ( spoiler: Leonardo Dicaprio dies )
I just ruined the movie for you. I'm sorry. Titanic 3D is released in UK cinemas on 4 April 2012.
Dexter renewed for two more seasons
After lengthy negotiations, Showtime has closed a new two-year deal with Dexter star Michael C. Hall. With him locked in, the pay cable network has renewed its flagship series for 2 more seasons, bringing the series’ run to 8 seasons. Each season will consist of 12 episodes, with production on Season 7 slated to begin next year in Los Angeles.
“Dexter‘s enormous success is a real tribute to the great achievements of its cast, producers, and the powerhouse performance of Michael C. Hall,” Showtime entertainment president David Nevins said. “The series is bigger than it’s ever been in its sixth season, both in terms of audience and its impact on the cultural landscape.” This past week, Dexter inched up again in the ratings for a fifth consecutive week, delivering 1.99 million viewers (2.61 million for the night), the show’s largest audience since the sixth season premiere. Season-to-date, the dark drama averages 5.12 million viewers per week on all platforms.

Black Sabbath Reunion and the Tintin Short Special
Hey everybody and welcome to another exiting episode of Monster Monstrosity Blog, the blog where you....umm...ahum..........
Guess you're all playing Modern Warfare 3, Arkham City, Battlefield 3 or Skyrim, huh? I have to seek a new audience then. Should I talk to a wall? I mean, Walls are solid, they never run off and are quite sturdy too. Walls are truly amazing. They have protected us for many years. Look at The Great Wall in China or the Walls of Jerusalem! We should honor the walls.... I'm really talking to a wall here, right?
Now, before I go doolah-wappy, here's our weekly FilmState episode! Enjoy!
Black Sabbath Reunite
The four original members of Black Sabbath( Ozzy Osbourne, Bill Ward, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and) announced today they will reunite and tour in 2012. The reunion will include a new album, produced by Rick Rubin, the most important producer of the last twenty years!
They held a press conference today in Los Angeles, hosted by metal-hero Henry Rollins. Metal Hammer was invited to the press conference.
Why now? "It was now or never, really. We have some great music to play." -Tony. "It was time." -Ozzy
Before we go on, I'd like to ask this question: Is Ozzy Osbourne still able to do this ? He had to cancel his gig at Graspop 2011 and wasn't that good at Blizzcon. Let's hope he can pull this one off...
And for all you hairsplitters, I know this has nothing to do with film but it's important enough to mention. This is the 11-11-11 announcement video.
Tintin And The Secret Of The Unicorn Short Special
Ten thousand thundering typhoons! If you have never heard or seen this quote, shame on you! It's a catchphrase from Captain Archibald Haddock, a retired drunk sailorman from the classic Belgian comics Tintin, written and illustrated by Hergé.( the creative father of Tintin )
The script was written by Steven Moffat ( Doctor Who ), Edgar Wright ( Hot Fuzz, Shaun Of The Dead) and Joe Cornish. They have mingled three Tintin stories and created one story, which is absolutely amazing.
The audience of this blog is 90% American, and most of the Americans will think that Tintin is a completely new character. Tintin is very popular in Europe and other parts of the world. The comics went all over Europe and are quite famous. And the same thing is happening with the movie. It is already released in Europe since 26 October 2011 and is well-received by critics. Americans have to wait until 21 December 2011.
A perfect date because it's a movie for kids, adults will remember the comics whilst watching the film and there are plenty jokes for the whole family. The worldwide premiere was destined for Belgium and France, home of Tintin and Hergé.

* Billy Crystal will host 2012 Oscars. Eddie Murphy has removed himself as host of the Oscars because Brett Ratner, the producer of the Oscars, had a disagreement with the staff. They both resigned.
* Universal has released the first official trailer for Rupert Sanders’ fairytale reimagining Snow White And The Huntsman. Huh, i wrote something similar a few years ago and the papers have disappeared. Strange.But why Kristen Stewart? Go look it up and cry yourself to sleep.
* Jonah Hill had to turn down an offer from Quintin Tarantino, pledging him to join the cast of Django Unchained. Unfortunately, he could not do it due to scheduling conflicts. Others have agreed to join the cast like Rex Linn (CSI: Miami) and James Remar (Dexter) who will appear as Ace Speck.
Exploitation Extober Special: The Baby Diaper Issue
"Nothing on Earth so beautiful as the final haul on Halloween night."
Before I go on, go to a story ;buy yourself some baby diapers and put some on. I just don't want things to get messy. Y'now? I also want you to close your eyes for a second.
I know where you live and I'm standing right behind you at this precise moment. Y'now?
I know where you live and I'm standing right behind you at this precise moment. Y'now?
Oh wait, you've closed your eyes so you can't see this text...Then I'll have to whisper it in your ears... Y'now? But FIRST, let's watch the final episode of Bloodtober, there's plenty of time left to kill you! *ties you on a chair*
Last post I said I wouldn't be doing any more Exploitation Extobers. Naah, i kid my lack of not posting! We're going to watch some terrifying movie trailer/scenes together and not Prepare to shitzle your diapshle!( That sounded better in my head )
The Brood(1979)
A man tries to uncover an unconventional psychologist's therapy techniques on his institutionalized wife, while a series of brutal attacks committed by a brood of mutant children coincides with the husband's investigation.
It's about mutant children killing everybody. If I didn't had my daily Nickelodeon(back when i was a kid, ahum) I would go mad too!
The Haunting (1963)
Dr. Markway, doing research to prove the existence of ghosts, investigates Hill House, a large, eerie mansion with a lurid history of violent death and insanity. With him are the skeptical young Luke, who stands to inherit the house, the mysterious and clairvoyant Theodora and the insecure Eleanor, whose psychic abilities make her feel somehow attuned to whatever spirits inhabit the old mansion. As time goes by it becomes obvious that they have gotten more than they bargained for as the ghostly presence in the house manifests itself in horrific and deadly ways.Everything in this film is perfect. The set, the acting, the direction, the creepy atmosphere... it's great!
Event Horizon (1997)
A rescue crew investigates a spaceship that disappeared into a black hole and has now returned...with someone or something new on-board.
I watched this movie when I was a kid and I had nightmares... a lot of them! This is such an underrated horrormovie. Yes it's from Paul WS Anderson but here's a shameful secret: I like most of his movies ( Except Mortal Kombat). He did a brilliant job on the first Resident Evil. I wish the story line would go back to the basics and not this "runnin around the world action packed movie". Anyway, you should watch this movie. But don't watch it three times in a row. You might encounter Bloody Mary....
Rec (2007)
"REC" turns on a young TV reporter and her cameraman who cover the night shift at the local fire station. Receiving a call from an old lady trapped in her house, they reach her building to hear horrifying screams -- which begin a long nightmare and a uniquely dramatic TV report."A friend of mine recommended this movie. There's also an American version out but don't watch it. Read this Youtube Comment if you're not convinced:
I saw REC before I saw Quarantine... I almost pissed my pants when I watched REC... I fell asleep during Quarantine. Lol :x
Misery (1990)
A famous novelist is "rescued" from a car crash by an obsessed fan.
I haven't seen this one yet. I know, I know! I'm going to buy it tommorow and watch it immediatly!
The Vanishing (1988)
Rex and Saskia, a young couple in love, are on vacation. They stop at a busy service station and Saskia is abducted. After three years and no sign of Saskia, Rex begins receiving letters from the abductor.
Wolf Creek (2005)
Stranded backpackers in remote Australia fall prey to a murderous bushman who offers to fix their car, then takes them captive.
This is a real story. More than 3000 people disappear every year in the deserts of Australia. They don't all get lost and die of exhaustion, do they?
________________________________________________________________________
And those were the last trailers of Exploitation Extober 2011! It was bit shorter than last year but hey, we had some fun! Have a Happy Halloween you all!
And I'm letting you loose. Untieing the ropes as we speak I'm not going to kill you.Not yet. I won't tell you when, I won't tell you how, and I won't tell you where. It will be a complete surprise for you. You do like surprises, yeah? Well, you're going to love my surprise! Hihihihi.
How do you like them pumpkins?

Next post we'll be talking about the Tintin world premiere in Belgium!( Happened on 22 October, but did not had the time to do a special ;) )
Exploitation Extober Special: Slashers!
Welcome once again to MMB, the blog which provides the newest newly news in history ever. Well, not really though! It's new news, but you might have noticed that i haven't been able to post this week. I feel sad because i can't provide you with the awesomeness of last Exploitation Extober
Well, i'm trying to make this up to you. Firstly, i'd like to present Bloodtober, the alternative version of EE! This is only the first episode, you can find more lolzworthy episodes on their playlist. ( It's a fun storyline between both brothers and yes, Ryan is the crazy one )
The mother of the slasher film is Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho!(1960). Another one is Peeping Tom(1960) and the earliest slasher film Thirteen Women(1932). The Slasher genre especially grew in the sixties and seventies. There were several subgenres, like Italian Giallo. The most important one of the giallo's was Blood And Black Lace. ( I'm not going to name the obvious movies like Nightmare on Elm Street )
HATCHET(2007)
BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON(2007)
The Story: A psychotic murderer institutionalized since childhood escapes on a mindless rampage while his doctor chases him through the streets.
The Awesomeness: Thanks to Halloween, we now have genre standards like virginal heroines, masked, unstoppable killers and open-ended conclusions. Its success opened the door for the flood of slasher movies during the '80.The story is as simple as a scary bedtime story but it's so perfectly executed, from the direction to the acting to the creepy score, that Halloween has become a legend.
When word leaks out as to his location, all hell breaks loose. Brick is besieged by an onslaught of curious kids, angry gang members, and his own doll-sized enemies, and he must protect the family who has helped him and get off the planet alive.

I'm sorry for the short Exploitation Extober Month. I did not have time to do these because of personal reasons. I wish you a GREAT Halloween!

The Best Slashers of the Century
A slasher film is a type of horror film typically involving a psychopathic killer stalking and killing a sequence of victims in a graphically violent manner, often with a cutting tool such as a knife or axe.
The mother of the slasher film is Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho!(1960). Another one is Peeping Tom(1960) and the earliest slasher film Thirteen Women(1932). The Slasher genre especially grew in the sixties and seventies. There were several subgenres, like Italian Giallo. The most important one of the giallo's was Blood And Black Lace. ( I'm not going to name the obvious movies like Nightmare on Elm Street )
BLOOD AND BLACK LACE
The Story: Blood and Black Lace is a 1964 Italian thriller film directed by Mario Bavahe story concerns the stalking and brutal murders of various scantily-clad fashion models, committed by a masked killer in a desperate attempt to obtain a scandal-revealing diary.The film is generally considered one of the earliest and most influential of all giallos, and served as a stylistic template for the “body count” slasher films of the 1980’s
The Awesomeness: The masked man was an inspiration for many filmmakers and comic writers. He kind of looks like Rorschach from Watchmen, doesn't he? The movie was voted #85 among "The 100 Scariest Movie Moments" by the Bravo Channel.
BLACK CHRISTMAS( nope, not a blaxploitation!)
The Story:A sorority house is terrorized by a stranger who makes frightening phone calls and then murders the sorority sisters during Christmas break.
The Awesomeness: It does look "boring" in 2011, right? Well', you have to realize that we are resistant against violence now. "Thanks" to violent tv-series, games and music we can handle it. I heard some complaints that these oldies are not scary enough. I know, that's the whole point of EE.
HATCHET(2007)
The Story: A motley crew of tourists embark on a boat ride of the haunted Louisiana bayous where they learn the terrifying tale of local legend "Victor Crowley"; a horribly disfigured man who was tragically and accidentally killed with a hatchet by the hands of his own father. But when the boat sinks and the ghost story turns out to be real, the group tries desperately to escape the swamp with their lives...and all of their pieces. Hatchet marks the return of Old School American Horror. Stay out of the swamp...
The Awesomeness: A whole swamp of fun! It's a fun slasher movie but nothing more. Definitly not the return of Old School American Horror. but it's a fun film! Anyhow, it's from 2007. slasher films are very much alive!BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON(2007)
The Story: On the surface Leslie Vernon (Nathan Baesel) seems like your average, small-town, nice guy. He has goals, ambition and aspirations to... follow in the footsteps of his long-time heroes Fredddy Krueger, Michael Myers and Jason Vorhees and be the world's next great psycho-slasher. A true self-promoter, Leslie gives documentary filmmaker Taylor Gentry (Angela Goethals) and her crew exclusive access to his life as he plans and executes his next great reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo, all the while deconstructing the conventions and archetypes of the horror genre for them.
The Awesomeness: a mockumentary about a serial killer? Comon, that's just way too awesome!HALLOWEEN(1978)
The Story: A psychotic murderer institutionalized since childhood escapes on a mindless rampage while his doctor chases him through the streets.
BONUS ROUND: DOLLMAN
urban fucking renewal
Not a slasher but definitly an exploitation film!
The Plot: Brick Bardo is a cop from another planet who is forced to land on Earth in pursuit of criminals. Though regular sized on his home planet, he is doll-sized here on Earth, as are the fugitives who have landed as well.

Brick is besieged by an onslaught of curious kids, angry gang members, and his own doll-sized enemies, and he must protect the family who has helped him and get off the planet alive.
