WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 60 – Malpractice / Menstru-Minute

Happy Thursday, WOD Watchers!

• 
The weekend is almost here and we’re back with another gruesome twosome to usher in any festivities you have planned.  At World of Death we are firm believers in equality among men and women.  Since yesterday was International Women’s Day, we would like to take this moment to thank and acknowledge all of the scream queens, heroines, directors, producers, make-up artists, costume designers, editors and any woman who have made contributions to the genre and have left everlasting memories of terror burned into our skulls or feelings of dread and love of our favorite monsters deep in our hearts.  We raise our glasses and salute you!
 •
Now to really celebrate Women’s Day, we have a couple films tackling issues every woman faces in life.  So let’s get on with it…
 •
First up is Malpractice by Steven Wesley Miller.  A doctor makes his rounds, going house to house to each of his patients, administering his special beauty “treatments.”  His serum has some adverse side effects, however, causing rashes and hallucinations.  This one really shows the depths of which some people will go to stay looking young and beautiful.  There are little innuendos throughout this film that hint toward the loss of innocence.  It eventually evolves from a straight narrativei nto an experimental film and utilizes some unorthodox editing techniques.  Combined with the lighting, camera angles, and crazy sound design, it rapidly turns into a bad acid trip of bloodthirsty women.  They really put the Cleaver in June Cleaver…
 •
Next in line, feast your eyes upon Menstru-Minute, directed by our neighbor from the north, A. Normale Jef.  This one is in the style of a gore-fest infomercial for a pill that makes a woman’s menstrual cycle last only 1 minute, as opposed to days.  As the infomercial unfolds, it reveals all the terrors that come with a woman’s period, only in a Cliff’s Notes amount of time and intensified a hundred times over.  Now I am going to admit, being a man, I have NO idea about the actual horrors of dealing with a menstrual cycle every month, but I can do my best to empathize with my female counterparts.  I feel like this video exemplifies everything that’s going on inside a woman’s head during that time of the month.  Combined with a shit ton of blood and Suicide Girl-like models, this one is in your face and doesn’t pussyfoot around the subject of Aunt Flo’s visit.  Even though some of the effects may look a bit campy, I think just knowing what it represents, induces the gag reflex.
 •
So there you have it.  Go watch these and then thank all the women in your life for doing what they do.  They earned it.  Trust me.
 •
Roll it.

Anna Faris & Regina Hall Promise ‘Scary Movie’ Will “Offend Everyone;” New Images Revealed

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.

“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”

Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”

EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.

Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.

The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.

Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).

The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.

Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
