Doctor Butcher M.D. (Medical Deviate)

I can ramble on about this to an uninterested readership... or I can provide the trailer from Youtube and let it speak for itself. You will be wowed.



Special thanks to my friend Steve who bought this movie on ebay just so we could watch it together. I think he discovered it as well. To this, I give him full credit.

Dolly Dearest

What a treasure trove Netflix Instant provides. This is another one of those VHS covers that haunted me as a little boy when we used to go to Pyramid Video to rent movies.
Nothing remarkable about it, other than it supposedly takes place in Mexico surrounding an American family that moves there. Interestingly, the few people who die in the movie are the Mexicans. This must have been before the politically-correct movement...?

Friday the 13th Part 2 Part 2

Part 2 because I am bringing it up again and also poking fun at how many Parts there are to this franchise of horror films.
I bought a bootleg copy of this in China and happened to pack it with me when Shawna and I went to Southeast Asia. We got around to watching it under the veil of a mosquito net in a tree bungalow in Ban Lung, Cambodia.
Not extremely worth mentioning, but then I guess it goes along with the spirit of this blog: a bunch of bullshit semi-related to horror films.
It is, however, an unlikely combination of things: Cambodia, jungle, Jason Vorhees. Which of these doesn't belong?

Lord of Illusions (1995)

When I was a boy, my friend Brian told me this was the scariest movie he had ever seen.
Years upon years later, I finally watched it. The week before last. Shawna, Russ, and I were mining Netflix Instant through the dredges of horror films they have available. Upon much urge, I finally convinced the other two that this might be a worthwhile watch. The selling point to them was that it was about a satanic cult and magic, the former being attractive to Russ, and the latter to Shawna's liking.
Indeed it was entertaining, of course, for a seasoned audience. Did I even need a caveat? I don't think my mom is going to watch it anytime soon...
Anyhow there are a couple things I'd like to note.
1) With some pretty gruesome imagery present in this film it is a wonder Brian was able to stomach it at a young age. That was likely a film that the family sat down together to watch (?)
2) Some really great quotes in that movie:

a) "I was born to murder the world."
b) "What are you?"
"A man who wanted to become a god... but changed his mind."

That second quote I posted on Facebook and, incidentally, my mom "liked" it.
