Surf Nazis Must Die!
Surf Nazis Must Die! is a pitifully dumb surfer/biker/post-apocalyptic Mad Max psycho thing where a bunch of horrible actors giving rotten performances act out a fantasy wrapped around scenes of dudes catching the waves" in slow motion, to a rather cool industrial and synthesizer soundtrack. It has all the de rigeur plot points and scenes you'd expect from such third-rung cinematic, straight-to-video Eighties offal: badass dudes, psycho women in leather, punky guys with studded wristbands and bad haircutts. Even as sleazy and cheesy as it is, it still, at times, manages to have a curious power, a weird stark heaviness that might just be a curious aftereffect of the soundtrack. Something about the hammering of heavy metal makes for an ominous scene, making things a little more...tubular. Gnarly? What's a good Eighties surfer word?

A Nightmare on Elm Street
My mother once told me she had a strange, unsettling dream one night, wherein we had packed our bags for a return home to the States (from the Central American military base we were living on currently). Ridiculously, we had on heavy winter coats, although it was burning up outside. Suddenly, said my mother, a figure loomed up in the concrete stairwell going down to the ground floor. It was a terrifying figure with a fedora hat.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Guns Akimbo' (2019)
On the surface, this movie sounded like a blast. Some random shmuck gets two guns bolted to his hands and is forced to take place in an illegal city-wide man-hunt that is streamed live on the web. That just sounds fucking fantastic, but it was genuinely kinda boring and a little forced. Movies like this come from a long line of ultraviolent action movies that are so nuts they're a wild ride. Hardcore Henry (2015), Smoking Aces (2006), Hell Fire (2015); action with a bizzaro feel that makes them closer to movies like John Dies at the End (2012). We're not talking about cinema gold, we're talking about movies that are violent for the sake of being violent. So if you fuck up a plot that simple, it's pretty bad.
