New Slipknot- "The Negative One"

The Negative One- Review

For six years us maggots have been waiting for a new track from our boys at Slipknot, let's just say that Corey and the guys didn't disappoint. Currently you can only listen to the track on www.slipknot1.com. The song hits extremely hard and should satisfy any Slipknot fan. Unfortunately there is no additional information about release dates for the new album, but let's hope it is sooner than later!

The Crawling Dead

The Crawling Dead

Written and Directed by: Eamon Hardiman 

Special thanks to Razor Sharp Studios for allowing us to watch this film! 

Summary: 

Back room abortions and calamity creates a fun, less than an hour film for all gormedy fans. As a young couple tries to start their life in a new home, they find that there is something strange going on with the landlord and the basement. After family members come and visit, all hell breaks loose as the crawling dead return to teethe on the residents and guests. 

Review: 

The film is low budget, but because the film is a "gormedy", it allows for the inefficiencies of this low budget film to shine. The film does start off a little slow, and the effects are full of cheese, but the film is enjoyable. The ending is fun and original. 

Overall: 
4 out of 6 skulls. "A fun 50 minute film with enough horror, gore, and comedy to suffice."- D. Mack

Deliver Us From Evil

Deliver Us From Evil

Deliver Us From Evil, the new exorcism film from one of our favorite directors: Scott Derrickson, is out in theaters today. This is one of those weeks, with the holiday falling on a Friday that you will see wide releases released in the middle of the week. If you remember our issue of Horror and Metal Magazine featuring "The Most Anticipated Horror Films of 2014", you will know that this film was ranked just behind "The Green Inferno". 

Horror and Metal Magazine has not had the opportunity to review the film. Currently it is holding at a fantastic 7.6/10 on IMDB, and a mediocre for a horror film 43 on metacritic. Personally I'm hoping this film lives up to Sinister and the Exorcism of Emily Rose. 

Support horror, go out and see it! 

Body Count- Manslaughter Review

Body Count is Back!!!! Manslaughter Review

I am not a heavy metal purist. I enjoy when bands take the element of metal and produce something that is different, yet enjoyable. Manslaughter is just that. Manslaughter takes elements of gangsta rap, heavy metal, and comedy to create an album that could be enjoyed by both metalheads and Hip Hop fans. Ice T's vocals and rhymes fit perfectly with a great supporting band. I am glad to Ernie C came back to be lead guitarist for Body Count (the only original member with Ice T). 

"Talk Shit, Get Shot", Bitch in the Pit,  "99 Problems", "Manslaughter", and "Pop Bubble" featuring Jamey Jasta from Hatebreed are the most memorable tracks. My favorite has to be 2014 Institutionalized, an ode to Suicidal Tendencies. The modernized version of Institutionalized is hilarious and fits the ST mold for the song.

Hip Hop and Metal fans need to rejoice and buy Manslaughter today!

All Cheerleaders Die Review

All Cheerleaders Die

Directed by: Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson 

Special thanks for letting us review this movie!!!

Review:

It is entirely possible for me to be wrong about a movie. I thought this movie looked good, but I anticipated something very different. Was this a bad thing? Hell no! All Cheerleaders Die is part Bring It On, part Twilight, part Wild Things, and part True Blood. It isn't necessarily a horror movie, it blends elements of comedy, horror, and sci-fi. The actresses in this movie are smoking hot, and have decent acting chops. 

After a cheerleader dies from a botched stunt, a new cheerleader is recruited. After some lesbonic action, some witchcraft, and a car wreck (yes in that order), things start getting fun. The newly dead cheerleaders must get revenge on the star football player who has it coming. 

All Cheerleaders Die is a great movie to watch with a group of mixed couples. The ladies will enjoy the cheerleading element, and the guys will enjoy everything else. 

Check out the trailer below: 

You can pre-order the movie: http://www.amazon.com/All-Cheerleaders-Blu-ray-Caitlin-Stasey/dp/B00JMLPC06 (set for release July 22nd). You can also stream it on Google Play and Amazon Instant Video.

Our Lord and Sinner, Rob Zombie gave us a tease of what hell is to come. The teaser sums up the last decade of his films and culminates with a clown mask. Not much information is available on 3I (31, but with roman numeral for 1). Is it a Captain Spaulding reference, is it a Halloween 3 redux? We will keep you posted.
