An American Werewolf in London



An American Werewolf in London - in which 2 guys go back-packing through Europe on a summer vacay, but are interrupted early on by an animal attack. Jack and David are hitchhiking through Northern England when they are stuck at a crossroads of a creepy tavern and three empty fields, in England they're called "moors." The guys are not welcome at the Locals Only establishment, so they go walking off in the dark to try to find a better bar. However, they are attacked by a werewolf, who turns back into a man after the locals shoot him. Jack is murdered, but David is merely injured and spends the next few weeks unconscious in a hospital in London. He makes friends with a sexy nurse while he is recovering, and he is visited by his friend Jack, in the form of a wolf-force ghost. Jack keeps insisting David commit suicide, but David doesn't want to. First of all, he doesn't wanna die, but also, he doesn't really believe that he's a werewolf now, too. But he kinda knows, deep down, but he doesn't believe it, really.
    Well, a month goes by, and David has no where to go, so his sexy nurse lets him stay with her, it is very nice of her. So, David has been at her place a couple of days when the full moon comes, and it fucks him up. He totally wolfs out, and murders several people. David wakes up naked, in the zoo. Jack confronts him with all of his victims in a porno theater, and David wants to kill himself, but he just can't do it. He even calls his family in America to say goodbye. In the meantime, the doctor who cared for David in the hospital has taken a trip up to see the creepy tavern David told him about, and he encounters some locals who confess the secrets of monsters existing. The doctor rushes back  to town, and tries to track David down, using the nurse, but the moon has already risen, and Wolf-David gives chase through Piccadilly something, culminating in his death. Its sad, but there is nothing else he could do, he was a monster, and had to be stopped. Its sad, but that's mostly just cause David was such a nice and likable guy.

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,...

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...

Raw

Raw - in which France has the grossest veterinary school imaginable, and vegetarianism is the thinking woman's solution to the broken Greek system. Some skinny girl goes to the same veterinary school her older sister is currently attending, and her bitch sister doesn't even help her move in to the dorm she is sharing with a guy. Albeit a gay guy, but I'm assuming not all of the men in this coed dorm are gay. The first night the hazing begins, the freshmen are herded out of their rooms by threat of violence, and all of their mattresses are thrown onto the front lawn. It takes a surreal turn into gross-cinema discomfort at the rave they are all taken to and our tiny protagonist runs into her mean sister and is peer pressured into taking some club drugs. Things are just starting to get weird. Some kind of creepy things are happening, but it mostly just reminds me of the lonely horror of my college experience, except I wasn't peer pressured into eating a rabbit kidney, ...
