THE DEVIL INSIDE ‘Special Trash Report’
Chad Cherry’s Over the Mid-(ish)Year Review in HORROR movies!!!

Hello my wonderful Lip Service deviants! I usually wait for a “year in review” for my fav movies, but we seem to be sailing along quite wickedly this year with horror goodies. So, here are some great horror flicks that have gotten C.C.’s stamp of approval already. I’ll only write of the worthy and what I’ve been digging ( besides graves) so far this year.

Here we go, creeps…

THE WARD:

The Ward is John Carpenter’s first full-length movie since ‘Ghost of Mars’ in 01. J. Carpenter still believes in telling a great story that will scare you without relying on cheap tricks and gore. Carpenter for me is like Star Trek for “Trekkies.” J. Carp forever.
The story is of a young institutionalized woman who is haunted by a mysterious and deadly ghost. As the evil creeps, the realization of this entity is darker than anything she could ever imagine.

THE WAKE WOOD:

The Wake Wood is UK and Irish co-production by horror giants Hammer Films.
A grieving couple, devastated by the loss of their 9 year old daughter, relocates to the remote town of Wake Wood, only to learn of a Pagan ritual that can give them 3 more days with their deceased offspring. Guess what happens when it’s time for her return?

HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN:

Hobo with a Shotgun is a Canadian action exploitation flick based on the winning trailer of the same name from Robert Rodriguez’s SxSw grindhouse trailer contest.

Rutger Hauer. That’s all that really needs to be said to get you to watch this. Let’s see… I’ll try to explain… It’s an out of control, gleefully “gross as hell” homage to low-budget exploitation films. Gory with firepower. Ahhh, the sweet avenging… Hobo with a Shotgun…You know what yer gettin’ into with a title like that. Absolutely cool. Perfecto.

INSIDIOUS:

Insidious is a supernatural horror film directed by James Wan of “Saw” movie fame.

Oh my goodness gracious!!! It’s NOT the house that’s haunted? Well then, what IS IT? What the HELL is happening here? What’s following this family? Ahhhhh!!!! When you move away from the evil demons and they follow you, you are in fucking trouble… Big time! Ok, I’m not gonna lie. I was actually freaked out by this one a lil’ bit. (How refreshing that was!) J. Wan found the right elements of fear, then slams you with it. I wasn’t expecting this to be so freaky. And I haven’t seen Barbara Hershey (hotter with age) in a scary movie like this since the brutally evil phantom rapist movie ‘The Entity.’ (Can’t stand those scenes in that flick.) This is a creepy good one kids.

RUBBER:

Rubber is a French horror comedy that I still can’t believe was actually made. Writer and director Quentin Dupieux went very, very, very far “outside the box” on this beast.

This film is about Robert. Robert is a tire that comes to life and embarks on a killing spree. He kills by vibrating intensely and psychokinetically causes peoples head to explode. He’s an angry bastard.. This flick is so out there that it’s kinda brilliant. The ending is priceless. Bizarre. Me likes.

_____________________________________________________________________________

There are a lot more doozies that I’ve seen so far this year, but I don’t feel the need to write about ‘em just yet. I think this is a good start if you’re gonna have a date night at home, a sleep over, seance, orgy, or just a relaxing taxidermy session. More movie mayhem to come.

Have I told you all lately how much I would like to drink your blood? Wait, that came out wrong.. What I meant to say is, thanks for supporting Lip Service and rocking out with The Last Vegas this summer. I really appreciate all the amazing feedback and can’t wait to drink your blood… Ummm sorry, I mean, I can’t wait to see you all on the road very soon.
Cheers, Chaddy Cherry.
