SquidFlicks Summer School – Body Bags Video Review – Anthology Week

Tales from the Hood
Intro:
For those that know me well, you may know that I live on the outskirts of the ghetto. Yes, I live VERY close to the ghetto but I’m not directly in harms way of any crazy mishaps that could be present in the ghetto. So many stories that are hidden within the hood that we on the outside do not know about, like the stories in the 1995 release of Rusty Cundieff’s “Tales from the Hood.”

Drive-In Massacre
Intro:
Drive-ins. When you hear that phrase you think of a place where you could go to and have no worries, no fears, no responsibilities of the outside world. You could get lost on a Saturday night in the madness that is, was, and always will be the Drive-In Movie. You’d never think that a place where you could lose you imagination, could be a place where you have to fear for your life! Like in the 1977 release of Stu Segall’s “Drive-In Massacre.”

Bubba Ho-Tep
Intro:
There is a fascination that seems to reach certain celebrity die hard fans. When their beloved idol passes on into the afterlife, they have a hard time dealing with it. They might say “oh he/she faked their own death, and they are in Cuba.” The two celebrities that get this the most are Tupac and the King himself, Elvis Presley. Now I personality believe, sadly, that they have both deceased, but its fun to imagine they are not, and indeed faked their own death, like Elvis did in the 2002 release of Don Coscarelli’s “Bubba Ho-Tep.” -
Terminator Salvation
Intro:
The future. Many of us wonder what is in store for us all years from now. What if you knew something horrible was going to happen, not only to you, but to the entire human race, and you knew that you would have to change it. Well when that time comes for many of us, we are uncertain as to what we have to do. What we expect doesn’t always turn out the way it should, Just like in the 2009 release of McG’s “Terminator Salvation.”

Cat in the Brain
Intro:
Now being a director myself I have A LOT of projects in development, production, and ideas just floating around in the old noggin! A lot of these involve death, killing, and brutal acts against the human body, and there have been many times where I questioned where this macabre personality comes from; and furthermore if it is possible for these devastating thoughts to possibly overtake my mentality? Like in the 1990 release of Lucio Fulci’s "A Cat in the Brain."

Graveyard Shift
Intro:
Life is full of filth that you can never get rid of. whether it be a crooked boss, a backstabbing friend, or a guy who just likes to start crap. One word comes to mind when I think of all the "filth" I’ve dealt with throughout my life, rat. Rats have no purpose but to steal our food, infest our homes, AND take our lives like in the 1990 release of Stephen King’s "Graveyard Shift."

Stockholm Syndrome
Intro:
Growing up in a small town my whole life, I’ve yearned for the big city life – Just to be around different people and places would be an amazing experience for me. I don’t think of all the possible dangers that would be waiting for me out there. For instance, who knows when you might be in the eyes of a kidnapper, and could very well be his next victim? If that was the case, then it’d like the unknowing couple in the 2008 release of Ryan Cavalline’s Stockholm Syndrome.

Gone The Way Of Flesh
Intro:
A trend that tends to reoccur every few decades is the cycling of film genre popularity. The 80s and 90s had an emphasis on action films while monster/Sci-Fi films dominated the 50s and 60s.
A particular genre that I happen to like a lot seems to be making a slight comeback – the exploitation films of the 70s. Frank Henenlotter has strived to bring back this unique type of film in the modern age. It’s good to see other people helping the cause, with the 2007 release of Gone The Way Of Flesh being a prime example.
