When the killings SUBSCRIBE begin they come fast and furious and in quick succession; a choke- out, suffocation, cleavings a shovel to the throat and some dismemberment. The special effects in the film are quite minimal, not bad, just not focused on. While it's not a gore-soaked bloodbath there's a body count here that would do either Jason Vorhees or Michael Meyers proud. Something that made me laugh was that at one point during the PODCASTS invasion one of the gals decides to take a dump and Doug catches her on the toilet, quite a vulnerable position, which leads to a lethal swirly. 42nd Street Drive-In Nice. This was quite an entertaining watch, Luke Y. Thompson's comic All My Heroes Wear Masks portrayal of a suburban schlub's descent into madness whilst dealing out Bloody Good Horror some revenge is a recommended watch. Cadaver Lab Creepy Kitch Dead Lantern Splattercast DVD: DING DONG DEAD is presented in Double Feature anamorphic Dread Media widescreen with Drunken Zombie Dolby Digital stereo, Fearshop there are no subtitle Fearshop.Com Metal Podcast options. As with all Horror Etc Creepersin films it's Horrorphilia a micro-budget http://mcbastardsmausoleum.blogspot.com/2011/06/dvd-review -ding -dong -dead -2010.html 7/19/2011 McBASTARD'S MAUSOLEUM: DVD Review: Ding Dong Dead (2010) Page 3 of 33 feature, $1500 all told according to the commentary, and it It Came from the Basement looks pretty good, JAFMP on par with Midnight Corey CORPORATE Mondo Movie CUTTHROAT Motion Picture Massacre MASSACRE though Movie Brain Rot the night scenes are Movie Meltdown quite dark and Now Playing grainy. I noticed the Screamwave film is a bit brighter Dougie's got a gun - and a sweet VHS collection! The Dark Hours and has a more vibrant color scheme The Gentlemen's Grindhouse than his previous films which was appreciated. I think some proper Zombie Grrlz lighting might have gone a long way here but it's quite watchable. Creepersin handles cinematography himself and you can see his form BLOGS improve with each film. The stereo audio adequately handles both dialogue and effects plus Kenneth Hampton's quirky score sounds great, A Hero Never Dies definitely the best score on any of the Creepersin films, fun stuff. Beasts in Human Skin Special features include two fun commentaries and a behind-the-scenes Bloodtype Online featurette with cast and crew interviews wherein Creepersin talks about Body Count the inspiration for the film. Cinemaslave Corpse Collective Special Features: - Behind-the-Scenes Featurette (8:55) Dead Derrick's Reviews - Audio Commentary with Director Creep Creepersin From Midnight with Love - Audio Commentary with Star Luke Y. Thompson and Creep Creepersin Johnny's Cult Films Poppy's Playhouse Verdict: It's been an interesting journey following Creep Creepersin The Fear Inside filmography and he's come quite a ways from FRANKENSTEIN . This is a The Witch's Hat very quirky comedy with some nice horror elements. Much like The Zed Word Creepersin's last film CORPORATE CUTTHROAT MASSACRE the comedy is the strong suit here, the violence is not particularly gruesome but it is fun stuff. I would love to see a straight comedy from Creepersin minus LABELS the horror, his comedy writing is pretty great. 3.5 outta 5 1940's (1) 1950's (1) http://www.mvdvisual.com/ http://www.creepersinfilms.com/ 1960's (1) www.twitter.com/creepersin 1970's (16) 1980's (22) 1990's (5) 2000' (1) 2000's (37) 2000's Western (1) 2010 (1) 3D (3) 80's Horror (2) Aaron Eckhart (1) Aashe Aaron (1) Action (4) Adam Brooks (1) Adam Green (2) Adam West (1) Adaptation (1) Adele Silva (1) Adrian Santiago (1) Adriano Stuart (1) Adrienne Corri (1) After Dark Originals (1) Akira Ide (1) Alan Rowe Kelly (1) Albert de Mendoza (1) Aldo Ray (1) Alejandro Jodorowsky (1) Alex Aja (1) http://mcbastardsmausoleum.blogspot.com/2011/06/dvd-review -ding -dong -dead -2010.html 7/19/2011 McBASTARD'S MAUSOLEUM: DVD Review: Ding Dong Dead (2010) Page 4 of 33 Alex Aldridge (1) Alex Reid (1) Alex Rocco (1) Alfred Hitchcock (1) Alien (4) Aliens (2) Aliens Resident Evil (1) Amanda Fuller (1) Amber Lynn (1) Amicus Films (1) Amy Groening (1) Anchor Bay (1) Andrew Divoff (2) Andrew Hull (1) Andrew Jordan (2) Andrew Prine (1) Andy Milligan (1) Andy Nyman (1) Angus Scrim (1) Anjannette Comer (1) Anthology (2) Anthony Fankhauser (1) Anthony G.
