Loch Ness Terror (2008)



          Hey, all, it's been quite a while since I've made a post here, mostly due to my own incompetence, so I thought it was high time I got something out here. I'm currently working on a full-length review of a movie entitled The Werewolf of Washington (1973), but until I get that done, please enjoy this little look into Loch Ness Terror (2008).

          Maybe a year ago, I bought a DVD combo pack from my local dollar store entitled Thrills and Chills Vol. 6, which included the movies Frankenfish (2004), Lake Placid 3 (2010), Piranha 2: The Spawning (1981), and most unfortunately, Loch Ness Terror. The only two of these movies that I've seen at this point are Frankenfish, which is pretty cool for a B monster movie, if a tad anticlimactic, and Loch Ness Terror, which is fun enough, but it is one of the most baffling movies I've ever seen for one big reason: It does not take place in Loch Ness. It doesn't even take place in Scotland, it takes place on Lake Surperior. This doesn't seem like too much of a problem for the majority of the movie (despite the obvious deviation from the title), because we're lead to believe that the sea monster is not the Loch Ness Monster, but just the same type of monster as Nessie. Then, at the end of the film, in a surprise twist, the movie's resident cryptozoologist reveals that she is in fact the very same infamous Loch Ness Monster. Like, what the hell? How on Earth do Jason Bourque and Paul Ziller (Writers of Loch Ness Terror) think the Loch Ness Monster got from Loch Ness in Scotland to Lake Surperior? It's absolutely nuts. I've since Tweeted this question at Jason Bourque (Paul doesn't seem to have a Twitter), so I'll keep ya'll in the loop on what the answer could be.

          I hope this little tidbit of  ridiculousness can tide you over until The Werewolf of Washington comes out.

Beyond the Gates (2016)

Beyond the Gates is a B movie from 2016. It tells the story of two estranged brothers, John and Gordon, whose father has been missing for several months and is presumed dead. They meet up to clean out their dad’s old VHS rental store, and they discover the last tape their father ever watched: A VCR game called Beyond the Gates (roll credits). They take it home and play it, along with Gordon’s girlfriend, Margot, and soon begin to discover the game’s deadly consequences.     When I watched this movie, I did not intend to write about it, but I feel like I need to talk about it. This movie represents a lot of missed opportunities and lost potential for me. The acting is good, the writing is pretty solid, the effects are awesome, especially considering the budget (only $300,000!), and the score is absolutely incredible, but onto the bad stuff. The pacing is not very good. The trio doesn't start playing the game until, like, halfway through the movie, and they don't actu...

Snowbeast (1977)

 Maybe this wasn't the best movie to start with, since it's definitely on the far better end of the spectrum. On the Wolfman/Wongo scale (We'll get there), this lands somewhere in the middle, but definitely closer to the Wolfman end of things. I've actually seen it multiple times because I actually, genuinely enjoy it. Snowbeast is basically about a, you guessed it, snowbeast, terrorizing a ski resort and the attempts by the manager, his best friend and Olympic skier, and the sheriff to kill the monster. I won't go too much farther into the plot, because I want you guys to watch it for yourselves.             Back to the quality of the film: When I say this is one of the better films I'll be talking about, that's not saying much, since most of them are going to be fakakta. That being said, there are parts if this movie that are genuinely very good. The acting and dialogue is actually pretty good, ya ...

My Mom's a Werewolf (1989)

             My Mom’s a Werewolf is an absolutely awesome horror comedy (leaning more on comedy) from 1989 that’s about, well, basically what the title says. It tells the story of teenage Jennifer, whose mother, during an extramarital affair, is bitten by a werewolf, and Jennifer’s struggle to cure her. Well, at least, ideally. A good chunk of the movie is dedicated to the mom slowly turning into a werewolf and being all confused and embarrassed. Those parts are pretty gosh dang boring, but I think the rest of the film more than makes up for it. This is absolutely one of my favorite B movies; it definitely lands above Snowbeast (1977) on the Wolfman-Wongo scale. It’s just so campy and full of really weird scenes, I can’t help but love it. Literally my only complaint about the movie is there’s too much time devoted to the mom’s transformation, that’s it, everything else is perfect. Since I enjoy this movie so much, I don’t re...
