Mary Alice: "When I was alive, Bree van de Kamp was one of my closest friends...had so much in common...received a threatening letter...I had once committed a desperate act of my own...someone found out and was determined to expose me....with one final act I had to consign my act to history...history has a way of repeating itself." Was this a not so subtle reference to how this final season is alluding to many aspects of the series from years gone by. Bree (Marcia Cross) tells Vance (Jonathan cake) she has only got a letter from a friend. Karen( Kathryn Joosten) hasn't seen anyone by her mailbox. Mary Alice (Brenda Strong) : "Bree Van de Kamp and I had so much in common. We shared similar lives and now Bree found herself praying that we wouldn't share a similar fate." How come Bree was...

I was kind of intrigued when I heard a while back that b-movie staple David DeCoteau was remaking H.G. Wells’ Food of the Gods. Somewhere along the way the title got changed to 1313: Giant Killer Bees, and his remake sure does feature a lot more half-naked hunks than that found in both Wells’ novel and the 1976 movie version.
DeCoteau has carved out his own niche market in recent years with a slew of low-budget homoerotic horror flicks, of which I am fairly certain this H.G. Wells’ inspired nature gone amok flick is the latest despite a tagline on the artwork proclaiming the film to be “A science fiction chiller for girls”. Who are the distributors trying to kid? I showed the trailer you’ll find below to a female coworker who is big into horror, and we barely got 15 seconds into it before she declared, “They’re gay!”

1313: Giant Killer Bees From cult director David DeCoteau (Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl O Rama, The Brotherhood) comes an all new entry in the campy 1313 horror series of 1313: Giant Killer Bees. Other films in the series include 1313: Nightmare Mansion (aka A Dream Within A Dream), 1313: Boy Crazies and 1313: Actor Slash Model. Starring Derek North (College Debts), Jillian Nelson (Just Go With It) and Adam Phebus (The Haunted Palace), 1313: Giant Killer Bees deals with a world torn with chaos and death. Professor Bensington laments his role in the end of the world, and reveals to us what caused the horror: his research assistant, a young college student named Redwood, traveled to San Marino to oversee Professor Bensington's honey bee experiments. While following the professor's orders, Redwood inadvertently unleashed a global biological disaster in the form of giant, zombie, killer bees...
Of course a David DeCoteau...
