yaaaaaay. Matt took me to the Chicago Horror Film Festival yesterday ^.^
It was excellent! They played 3 films and they were:
Criticized a short film about a horror director who reads a bad review about his film and so, he kidnaps the critic and duct tapes him down to his bathtub. The director is loony as hell, of corpse, so in the end he’s tortures the critic and ruptures his eyeball with a paperclip -- which is an object the critic used in his review to describe the movie (I totally forgot what he said). The eyeball scene was awesome and very well done.
It's My Party and I'll Die if I want to! It was a low budget film directed by Tony Walsh and this was probably my favourite! It was so cheesy and had that Creepshow feel to it. But, I enjoyed it tremendously! It was cheesy and gory and fun. :D It’s a story about an old haunted record player and spirits inside this old house where a man murdered his family -- so these kids decided to get into the house and set up for a party for their friend’s 18th birthday…in the end, they’re all killed and the killer has a fun killing spree and I don’t know…I enjoyed it lots, now that I think about it; especially since the hero chick knows martial arts and she’s all KAPOW to the uh, monster/killer/possed dude and manages to hit him with everything in the house (including her birthday cake) and completely ignores her katana till the end. Heh ^_^ Afterwards, the director came up and did a Q&A. It’s pretty cool; he’s going to have a DVD out soon which is this movie, but it’s going to be a choose-your-own-adventure dvd which totally blows my mind.
The last movie played was Fallen Angels directed by Jeff Thomas. He came up along with Reggie (Phantasm, Bubba Ho-Tep, The Rage, Wishmaster) and Gigi Bannister (Phantasm IV, The Mangler Reborn, Bubba Ho-Tep) and I got to talk to them about horror stuff and movies and whatnot. It was waaay too much for me. So, the movie was more of a mystery and psychological thriller than a horror movie. It’s about the 7 deadly sins and the 7 creatures that represent them. It was an okay film and had big names such as Kane Hodder (as the main creature) and Bill Moseley and Michael Berryman.
All in all, I had a sweet-ass time and Matt is officially the best ever .
