Lake Noir (2013)
Camp to tramp!
This film looked rather promising with the few 10/10 reviews left for it. After the group of kids met the locals, set up camp and learned of the Lakes dark past, I first believed that the film was inspired for a Deliverance meets Friday the 13th feel, trying to dig it.. my anticipation soon, so to speak, burnt down to ashes..
.. unfortunately, Lake Noir fails to both intrigue and entertain the campy blood thirst within you. Aside from its many kinky soft-pornesque scenes (the reason behind its lonely 2 star rating), cast and/or production made little effort as to create an interesting story and the suggested disturbia within it.
Boring plot, flat acting.. BAD!
Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
Beneath the bloodshed
Cannibal Holocaust is a necessary cinematic example of the deterioration of morality when released from a cultivated civilized society.
A documentary film crew sets out into the Amazon to study the lifestyle and sacrificial justifications between the conflicted tribes of Yacumo and the Yanomamo. Exposed to the undeveloped lands of the Amazon, it is soon realized that the behavior of the student posse undergoes a drastic and disturbing direction. Their acts of rape, murder and destruction illustrate the distinction between human nature and human brutality. Their subjects as they see them indeed practice cannibalistic rituals and live primitively within the nature that surrounds them. Ironically, this becomes reason enough to elect a congratulatory dismissal for any cruelty/humiliation and destruction the film crew inflicts because they are fundamentally above these uncivilized people's. As to be expected, their victims lash back and resort to their animalistic resolution to threat - murder.
So tell me.. who are the real savages?
This film is very graphic and had raised a lot of speculation and controversy. The only thing that I would like to mention is the mutilation of animals. It is possible that the director may have approached these animal killings by asking these native people to demonstrate how they kill and prepare their foods. The remains may have been used. Personal theory.
Beneath the bloodshed there is something to it!
Dead and Gone (2008)
Murder on moonshine!
As previous reviews have stated, I get what they mean completely. This film definitely had the qualities of a mystifying Lynchion that seeps in through the cracks that is Evil Dead 2's cabin hysteria and horror!
I quite enjoyed the advanced coloration and distortion of madness and reality behind the camera angles. If this was not enough to grip your collar in, there were plenty of hilarious but grotesquely distasteful characters that localize the bumpkin bliss! A pair of bumbling, troublesome brothers; a careless cop vixen; the perverted televangelist and more!
It was murder on moonshine!
