My latest haul

Thought I'd share the latest additions to my movie collection.

Killer Killer: A slasher film that takes a detour from the usual formula in that the director Pat Higgins glorifies or "gorifies" the death scenes in a way that the viewer is actually justified in rooting for the killer.

Set in a high security prison for extremely dangerous criminals. One day for no apparent reason all the guards vanish and the cell doors open. However, the prisoner's freedom is short lived due to a mysterious mist outside that instantly freezes anyone who leaves the building (it could happen:P). So with nowhere to go the prisoners are free to roam about the building discussing the important differences between serial killer, spree killer, or copycat killer; their pointless bickering is one of the humorous aspects of the film for me.

Eventually, inmates start being killed one by one and for some mysterious reason the killer(s) look traditionally like victims from your typical slasher films and take on the appearances of cheerleaders, campers and babysitters.

This movie is pretty cool; I love the odd story line in this film. It's like Higgins says to himself,

"Ok I'm going to make a movie about prisoners that escape from their cells but can't leave the prison; why can't they leave the prison? Mysterious mist that instantaneously freezes you, that's why."

It's so random it just freaking works. I think Mysterious mist should be an all inclusive excuse from now on. Late for work or school- mysterious mist, forgot your mom's birthday- mysterious mist. It just works for everything. Anyway this movie rocks, with tons of gore and cool death scenes you will assuredly be entertained.

I haven't sat down with the other DVDs yet. I'm pretty busy with school and work and I'm still plugging away at Bioshock.
