Critical Capsule: Demonwarp

Have you ever heard of a movie called Demonwarp? I am pretty sure the vast majority of you said no. And that is probably a good thing if you value things like quality and, well, quality. This is not a good movie on any level, but that does not mean it does not entertain. This odd little movie definitely entertains, especially if you are with a crowd of like minded souls. Fortunately, I was in a room full of them as I sat down for my first experience with Demonwarp. Seriously, though, the movie makes little sense and does not really hold together. It is the sort of thing that makes you wonder if anyone read the script before signing on to the project, or if there was more of a script that was cut out. Who knows.

Movie Review: Friday the 13th Part VII - The New Blood (1988)

In 1986, Paramount brought to us the conclusion of the Tommy Jarvis arc, which began in 1984 with The Final Chapter (funny, “Final”). That movie was made not just to close the sequence, but as a reaction to the displeasure with which A New Beginning had been received. The studio heard and responded with a return of the real Jason Voorhees, thus kicking off the next era of one of our favorite mass killers. Jason Lives introduced us to the zombie Jason! A relentless, reanimated killer corpse. What's not to love? Anyway, after taking 1987 off, the franchise returned with a new actor behind the mask and a set of victims for the machete wielding slasher in Friday the 13th: The New Blood.
