Y2K, 9/11, war and a a horrid recession, a major escape we had this decade was in the form of film, notorious for thriving during National crisis. Leading up to New Year’s Eve where we’ll ring in 2010, Bloody Disgusting will be looking back at the entire decade year by year through the eyes of various staff writers. Check back each day for a profound reflection from Ryan Daley, David Harley, Tex, BC and yours truly. Inside you’ll find my own personal look back at the year 2003, the year horror explodes!! Please share your memories for each year below, there are so many stories to be told! (more…) READ MORE
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: this has been a great decade for horror films. Anyone who doesn’t think so simply hasn’t been paying attention. Of course, those successes likely wouldn’t have felt as sweet had there not been about four or five times as many bad ones, and following from that observation I’ve sifted through the cinematic garbage bin to put together this list of the worst. We’re not talking direct-to-DVD bargain-bin burners here; we normally expect those to be bad. We’re talking studio-released, mostly moderate-to-big-budget disasters with a lot of marketing and moolah behind them. These aren’t the hand grenades; these are the atom bombs whose explosions of craptastic-ness were too big to ignore. They’re listed in order of release rather than badness, since there’s just no way to rank these suckers in any meaningful order. They’re all terrible in their own unique and special way.

September 9th is a date you’re not going to want to miss as Lionsgate Home Entertainment is set to release House of the Dead Director’s Cut: Funny Version on DVD. What is this exactly? Infamous director Uwe Boll (Alone in the Dark) turns horror into humor with this comedic rendition of his Zombie cult classic. It’s spring break and these typical college kids just want to have fun – killing zombies! This “side splitting” director’s cut of House of the Dead features new dialogue, alternative takes, pop up commentary and animation from the original video game. Original cast includes Jurgen Prochnow (The DaVinci Code) and Clint Howard (Halloween) with a special appearance by famed breast augmentation specialist Siegfried Wienermeister. Even the most hardcore fans of the original cult classic will never discover that human flesh tastes like chicken until they watch this hysterically tasteless funny version! Can you say immediate classic? (more…) READ MORE
Today we’ve posted BC’s review of Uwe Boll’s Postal, which hits limited theaters on May 23 (taking on INDIANA JONES). Living on Social Security and unemployed, DUDE desperately seeks employment, but instead finds a life of violent action and adventure when he teams up with his UNCLE DAVE, a financially strapped cult leader, in an effort to rip off an amusement park, only to find that the Taliban are trying the same heist simultaneously. Read on for the review. (more…) READ MORE
Director Uwe Boll reminds me of my best friend in Jr. High. He was a crappy guitar player, but he would go out and buy the biggest, best guitar thinking it would make him a better player, which was obviously not true. I guess the same can be said about Uwe Boll and his movies based on video games. Each film he makes has a larger and larger budget and I guess until a movie bombs as bad as Michael Bay’s The Island did, he’ll continue to get it. Last night I had the pleasure (or displeasure?) of seeing his third US film entitled BloodRayne, and while it’s still god awful, it’s still 1,000X better than House of the Dead. BloodRayne stars Ben Kingsley, Kristanna Loken, Michelle Rodriguez, Matt Davis, Udo Kier, Michael Par, Geraldine Chaplin and Michael Madsen. (more…) READ MORE
If you click right here you can read our interview with new horror genre director Mike Hurst, whom has three horror movies coming out next year (House of the Dead 2, Room 6, The Darkroom). I don’t normally say stuff like this, but Mike Hurst is a really great guy and has a passion for the genre and I really hope his movies turn out good- I guess only time will tell when Lions Gate releases House of the Dead 2 (aka ‘the Apology’). For over a hundred of our other interviews click here. (more…) READ MORE
We’ve been informed that Mindfoire Entertainment is now shooting their next horror film entitled Room 6 here in California. The film is being directed by House of the Dead 2 helmer Mike Hurst, who also co-wrote the script with Mark Altman. The film is set to stars Christine Taylor, Jerry O’Connell, Shane Brolly, John Billingsley, Kane Hodder and Chloe Moretz. Read on for the full story… (more…) READ MORE
I know a lot of you are just dying to know what I thought of this film- especially since I’ve been burning Dr. Uwe Boll since ‘House of the Dead’ scared people out of theaters a long time ago. So here it is, in all of its glory, my review for Alone in the Dark, which stars Christian Slater, Stephen Dorff and Tara Reid. Please make sure to write your reviews under mine this weekend if you see the film (some of you might like it?), this should be a whole lotta fun to talk about! Furthermore, Uwe is a very nice guy, so stick to his movie and avoid the “threats” please… (more…) READ MORE
What is it that Uwe Boll doesn’t understand? When will this guy just move on with his life and keep on making more terrible movies? If he keeps it up, he might even be worse than Ed Wood was considered! I’m a little bored right now, so inside you’ll find a letter from Uwe Boll to the public about his last movie House of the Dead (review) and my response. Take in to knowledge that many of you might not agree with me, but many of you will, and this is only MY opinion. So feel free to laugh or fight back by clicking here- so without further a due- Mr. Boll… (more…) READ MORE
I just have to get this off my chest- this Day of the Dead: Contagium is really starting to piss me off. If you’re falling in the same category as me, and feeling that this is just going to be another Children of the Living Dead, or are just curious to my opinion, you can read on to see what my fuss is all about… (more…) READ MORE
From what I hear, Paul Schrader’s cut of Warner Bros. Exorcist: The Beginning could be worse than Uwe Boll’s House of the Dead. But doesn’t that make you want to see it more, especially since they’ve already reshot the entire movie and a possible good one is one the way? Well, in the near future, you might be able to, on home video! Read on for details. (more…) READ MORE
My plea to whomever is stupid enough to give Uwe Boll $47 million dollars to make movies – give me a mere million – and I’ll make a better movie than he could make with $100 million. After the disaster that was House of the Dead (review), Variety is reporting that Uwe Boll has raised $47 million through German film fund Boll KG 4 for use in some of his upcoming video game to film adaptations, which are sure to include fantastic pixilated game footage! The financing will be put toward the production of the video game adaptations Bloodrayne, from Majesco, and Gas Powered Games’ Dungeon Siege, among other productions. Uwe Bolls projected next disaster is the adaptation of the game Alone in the Dark, which hits theaters October 10th. The film stars Christian Slater and Tara Reid. (more…) READ MORE
