BLOODBEAT: Huskies, Hunters & Hygge...

I recently joined Carey Vickers and Aaron M Poe in a discussion of a bad movie everybody seems to like: "Bloodbeat", the oddly appealing 1983 slasher about an orgasm-inducing Samurai ghost stalking hunters in Wisconsin. Along the way, we touch on such bad movie masterpieces as "Manos: The Hands of Fate", "Spookies" and "The Room." (Mentioned in passing is Billy Ballard's deeply felt dislike of Danzig's "Verotica".)

Dr. Carnage says DEMON RESURRECTION is "indie horror at it's finest..."

Another excellent review for DEMON RESURRECTION. This one from horror aficionado Doctor Dani Carnage on his World of Horror website. Some excerpts:

"Demon Resurrection is a beautiful homage to horror both from the seventies and eighties, filled with nudity, blood, gore, voodoo and zombies, for something with a very small budget, something very good has come out of it....

Because the film is so ambitious, it works wonders that other indie films simply can't compete with. I never failed to be amazed just what this movie had to offer it's viewers....

Being a horror fan for such a long time, I tend to think I have seen it all, and nothing can take me by surprise anymore, but movies such as Demon Resurrection prove me wrong and make me sit up and take note. This is indie horror at it's finest. Who needs a big budget when a film is this good? This really does put ninety-nine percent of Hollywood horror releases to shame with it's involving story, exploitation elements and downright creepy atmosphere. This really does deserve to be seen."

Dani's great knowledge of and enthusiasm for the horror genre is evident in all of his writing. He's definitely someone who knows what he's talking about when it comes to horror, so it's tremendously gratifying to receive such an extraordinarily thoughtful and generous review from him. For all his kind words, he has my sincere thanks.
