Review: “She Kills” is a Hilarious Must See!

Published

on

Ridiculous. Disgusting. Fun.

Ridiculous. Disgusting. Fun as all hell.

From Ron Bonk comes a nearly perfectly executed grindhouse horror/comedy film, She Kills. Starring Jennie Russo as the lead character Sadie, She Kills takes the body horror genre to a disgusting new level, making Teeth look like a Disney Channel movie. I recently had the pleasure of viewing it before it’s been released.

The synopsis from the advanced screening reads as follows:

“Sadie’s life is destroyed when a vicious gang called ‘The Touchers’ targets her for their sadistic fantasies after witnessing her sexy but innocent naked frolicking in a nearby field. On her wedding night, they attack her and her husband Edwin, brutalizing both of them. But during the attack, the virgin bride discovers a dangerous secret about her body—she is cursed with the legendary ‘Fire Crotch,’ a condition where Satan has laid claim to her vagina. After visiting her fortune-teller friend Casparella, a space exorcism is attempted on her meat flaps, but it only ends up unlocking secret hidden powers inside her. Her hatchet wound becomes lethal, her most deadly weapon in her thirst for revenge against The Touchers and her fight against lustful men everywhere!”

Wow. Yes, you read that right. This is a movie about a possessed killer vagina. Filled with loads of cheap practical effects (the movie cost only $8,000 to make) and very inventive ways of making the female genitalia a weapon of mass destruction, this sleazy homage to late ’70’s grindhouse films succeeds in not only grossing you out, but also cracking you up the entire time. If David Wain and Michael Showalter of Wet Hot American Summer fame decided to do a spoof on the exploitation genre, it would most likely look a lot like She Kills. The humor is over the top and ridiculous; I learned several new absolutely gross slang terms for a vagina. The acting, for what this movie is, works wonderfully. It’s corny dialogue works well to fit into the genre, almost making you wonder if this movie really was from the time period it is taking reference from.

It probably comes as no surprise from the description that this movie is highly offensive. So much so, that when my puppy curled up with me on my lap to cuddle as I watched the screening, I felt bad having such a sweet innocent thing bear witness to this movie and moved her into the other room. Bodily fluids fly freely throughout the film and sex pervades mostly the entire film. Jennie Russo is an actress that is obviously very comfortable being nude on film, and I won’t complain about that one bit. The death scenes are very inventive and make good use of the effects they had, saving the best and most creative one for the last kill, which leaves you laughing while cringing at the obscenity of it all.

"Are you telling me my mustache isn't cool!?"

“Are you telling me my mustache isn’t cool!?”

The Touchers are just as awesome as the main character of the film. The gang’s leader, Dirk, sports one of the dumbest mustaches of all time, which goes down onto his neck, passes through his chest and then circles onto his nipples, all connected. He’s cool, he’s sexy, he’s the man, and you don’t want to mess with the mighty Dirk. Also, he carries around a bag of dried cold sores to munch on. Nice. The rest of the ensemble is great too, and you have to give bonus points to the big goon Blue for having a Leatherface portrait on his arm.

Clocking in at 141 minutes, the movie seems to drag a bit at times, featuring a disco scene that went on for what seemed like forever. Fortunately, whenever there is a lull in the movie something either funny or disgusting (or both) comes up almost immediately and you forget about whatever scene felt too long. The hilarity of it all truly redeems this film from anything that feels like it has been dragging on.

All in all, She Kills is a horribly disgusting and hilarious film but not for the weak of heart. This is definitely a movie that needs to be seen to believed. Space exorcisms. Black Jesus. Martial Arts. Killer vaginas. Exploding penises. It’s all there.

I reached out to filmmaker Ron Bonk and found out the movie will be released to festivals and theaters in September, with a Blu-Ray, Dvd, and VHS (!!!) release around March or April 2016. You can visit the official Facebook page to keep yourself updated here.

In the meantime, be sure to watch the trailer below!

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
