Motel Hell

Motel Hell - in which a crappy motel with a broken neon sign is regionally famous for selling a mystery jerky, and not for all the the patrons that never check out. Chef Vincent owns the Motel Hello in the middle of nowhere, near the Appalachians I guess, with his sister, probably. She is crazy but also appears to be kind of slow. But she's not slow, she's just nutburgers. So, the plot is that Farmer Vincent goes out hunting at night, and shoots people and brings them back to his little motel farm where he has some pigs. That's not the plot, that's the premise. The plot is that Farmer Vincent shoots out a couple's motorcycle tires one night, and the crash kills the dude, but the pretty young woman is just unconscious. So, Vincent takes her back and puts her up in a room at his motel, and when she wakes up the next day, he tells her he already buried her boyfriend and she should stay for a while and rest. But the boyfriend isn't really dead. The sheriff shows up, I guess Vincent called him, and he's like, "I wish you hadn't buried the body without nobody seein' it, but the girl is pretty, so I'll be back to sexually harass her later." And the sheriff, who is also Vincent's brother, comes back the next day to sexually harass her. Crazy sister Ida does not like how any of this is playing out, and she tries to kill the girl several times.
  
   Oh! So, obviously there was gonna be some cannibalism, so here it is - the meat is made from people! Vincent keeps people buried up to their necks in his garden, with their voice boxes slashed, so they can only make pig-like grunting noises, which of course, blend in with the pigs he's got outside the hidden-murder-garden gate. So, he has all kinds of fringe people buried in there, and he keeps them alive to tenderize their meat. Gross. So, the sheriff takes out the blonde woman to a drive in movie, sorta, and tries to sexually assault her. She refuses his advances, what did the filmmakers think dates where like? So, she runs back to the motel farm and tells Vincent she wants to marry him, and he is happy but unsurprised.On the same night, a swinging BDSM couple checks into the motel and invites Vincent and Ida to play with them. As you can imagine, they end up planted. Ida tries to kill blondie again, and Vincent is emotionally preparing to share the meat secret recipe. Then the people break out of their dirt bonds, the girl finds the the human butchery shop and freaks out. She and the sheriff have to kill Ida and Vincent, and the would be rapist becomes the hero, I guess.

Event Horizon

Event Horizon - in which sci fi space body horror gets very fucking real, and totally gross. First, Lawrence Fishburne is a space captain named Miller, and his first mate is Joely Richardson, and she rocks. Her accent is real. A bunch of space sailors are escorting science genius Sam Neill to the wreckage of a space ship. It wasn't just a space ship, it was a massive black hole generating machine, and it recently re-emerged around Neptune, and now its just orbiting, being spooky af. To give all the details, Sam Neill, AKA Dr. Weir, is having creepy dreams about his dead wife in his cryo/gravi-sleep pod before they even get to the abandoned wreck. Oh, its called the Event Horizon. So, once the crew rolls up on Event Horizon they get nervous, because its creepy, and a few people go out to investigate the empty ship. Miller orders Dr. Weir to stay aboard their vessel, and he doesn't do a good job of listening. As soon as the crew splits up, one young guy gets sucked into the g

The Abyss

The Abyss - in which James Cameron writes a love letter to the ocean, and the ocean answers, "Here are some aliens." Ed Harris plays a scientist who is happy to be in an underwater Sea Lab (cue theme song) even though his mean wife comes to visit and be a cold bitch to him. A plot happens, but its been weeks, so I forget what it was. Ed Harris is bull headed, and only his wife can get through to him. The crew is enjoyable. Oh! Michael Bean shows up after an oil rig problem and gets pressure sickness and tries to kill everyone. In an effort to escape and save everyone, Ed Harris gets his swimmer craft stuck in a chasm, but some nice aliens lift him out in a spectacular light show of kindness. The aliens invade the SeaLab as water/people and try to be nice, with moderate success.A few people die, but most live. Good movie, watch again.

Death Wish

Death Wish (1974) - in which the justice system fails a man who lost his family, and he goes off the rails in finding personal justice. I mean vengeance. Charles Bronson plays Paul Kersey, a husband and father and architect, who has a nice NYC life. One day, near the beginning of the movie, Paul's wife is murdered and his daughter is raped into a catatonic state, from which she will not likely recover. Sexist. Anyways, Paul is destroyed, so his boss sends him out to New Mexico, or another lawless state, for a 3 month long project. Paul does some recovering while he is out there, and is befriended by his big money client, with a big hat and big guns. Upon arriving back in NYC, Paul is disheartened to find his daughter in terrible condition, and his son-in-law coping poorly. There have also been no arrests in his wife's murder, as the police are very busy with a crime spree related to gang violence. Paul is a really sympathetic guy, and his pain is visible, and very real. So,
