‘Friday the 13th’: The Coffee Table!

Published

on

Friday the 13th merchandise has been out of control lately, with NECA’s Nintendo Jason Voorhees going for a pretty penny on eBay. Now high-net worth fans can bring home the ultimate in Jason decor, the Friday the 13th coffee table.

Australian company Slaughter FX crafted this beast, based on the decaying Jason from VII: The New Blood (the debut of Kane Hodder’s Jason). The devil is in the details and this bad boy is certainly brimming with them. It  features a resin mask, head and torso, a latex rib cage, crape hair, and is speckled with hobby dirt. I especially like the machete on the side and the mini-masks. Slaughter FX is currently out of stock of the table, but you may be able to put in a custom order. This will set you back $600 with a glass topper or $500 without. Hell, what better way to spend your tax return.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
