[BEST & WORST '12] Lonmonster’s List Of The Worst Films Of 2012

I’ve been following Bloody-Disgusting since way before I started writing for them. Being a critic has opened so many doors for me, providing the awesome opportunity to discover a world of horror that I didn’t even know existed. Unfortunately, some of that world is not so pretty.

Like any year, 2012 was host to some real stinkers. As a personal rule, I avoid trash-talking other people in the industry. I don’t like spitting venom at people I don’t know, especially young filmmakers who are still learning the tricks of the trade. But hey, I’m an emotional guy, and sometimes movies get the better of me. The films listed below don’t find themselves here simply because they’re bad, but because they genuinely made me angry.

[Fantasia '12] Lonmonster’s Mini-Reviews #3: ‘Killer Joe’, ‘Memory Of The Dead’ & ‘Error Of The Human Body’

The 16th annual Fantasia Film Festival is underway in Montreal, Canada. The festival is so packed this year that it’s overwhelming to even begin looking at the film schedule. The horror lineup spans across subgenres and budgets and this is precisely what makes Fantasia so special. Giving equal attention to major productions and low budget indie films, Fantasia has something for everyone.

In its 16th year, there are over 160 screenings during the three-week festival, and it would be insane to even attempt reviewing them all. I’ve been running to the various theaters to catch each flick, and I still can’t watch them all. Although it would be ideal to write full reviews, it would take way too many days, and way too many cups of coffee. What follows are mini-reviews on what I’ve seen so far at Fantasia 2012 including The Victim, The Human Race, Memory Of The Dead, and Error Of The Human Body.

Check out part one and part two. READ MORE

Announced last week as part of the 16th annual Fantasia International Film Festival, taking Montreal by storm July 19-August 7, we’ve scored a new look at Paul Hough’s supposedly gory The Human Race. Seeing a mob carrying a bunch of homemade weapons is enough to get my ass into a theater seat. Bring the blood!

From the director of The Backyard comes this stunning action/sci-fi/horror film that challenges conventions and supposedly takes enormous risks: “Veronica suddenly finds herself in a surreal and horrifying marathon race. The rules are simple: If you are lapped, you die. If you step off the path, you die. Many will start but only one may cross the finish line alive.

Paul McCarthy-Boyington, Eddie McGee, B. Anthony Cohen, Celine Tien, Ian Tien, Trista Robinson, Fred Coury all star.
