After 17 years of peace, they’re back and death will swarm! Choosing a Native American Burial site for their 17 year rest, the usually peaceful but loud cicadas have been infused with vengeful spirits set on the destruction of the town of Old Saybrook. Only the town sheriff, played by Mark Hamill, and a beautiful entomologist and Native American Lore expert, played by Morgan Fairchild, can save the town from complete annihilation.
The Birdemic 2 trailer is out! I think this one might be a little too self aware, but I’m still going to check it out. I thought the first movie was horrible in a great way, I think it was fun because it was trying to be a better movie and just missed the mark by miles. I think this one isn’t trying to be a good movie, but then it’s the same writer/director so there’s a good chance his aim will be wildly off and he accidently creates a classic.
Some upcoming shows.
When I was little I would watch Clash of the Titans over and over again. I loved the Monsters, the witches who passed around one eye, and I adored Bubo the animatronic owl. Jason and the Argonauts and the 7th Voyage of Sinbad were some of my favorite movies. Ray Harryhausen’s stop-motion creatures were among my first loves and helped turn me into the monster-loving weirdo I am today. So I just wanted to say thank you for giving me an enduring love of B movies and silly owls.
I am a huge fan of bad movies, especially bad horror movies. I watched an epically horrible movie recently called Thankskilling. The movie revolves around the aptly named Turkey, a demonic turkey who comes to earth to kill college kids in revenge for the disrespect of the settlers to Native Americans from the first Thanksgiving. It has a bad puppet, bad acting, the semblance of a plot, and lots of bad special effects. The movie knows it’s a bad movie and revels in it, which can sometimes make a bad movie unwatchable, but the winks at the audience in this movie are fun and enjoyable. The movie is just goofy with the least threatening antagonist, but it works. I recommend this to any bad movie lover.
