Spoiler-Free Review: Personhood (MidWest WeirdFest)

Official Synopsis In a near-future world, a lonely, physically challenged man purchases a companion robot to escape his isolation. But his own insecurities and a jealous brother threaten his chances of ever finding love. Review Films about robots interacting with humans and the possible dangers that could bring have been with us since the silent era. Technology brings such fare ever closer to science fact than science fiction. With his intriguing feature Personhood, writer/director/editor Richard Jordan examines emotional problems that may occur when “artificial humans” become lovers with human beings. Waylen (Elliot Harris) is a physically challenged man who viewers learn right away craves intimacy, and that initial scene shows him going about things in a privacy-invading manner. He seems to be highly successful in his professional life and he lives in a beautiful, spacious, well-appointed home. The beautiful Gala (Agathe Levi) arrives at his front gate and proclaims that she will be very happy. Because the synopsis states that

Movie Review: Colony Mutation (1995) – Visual Vengeance Blu-ray

Scientist Meredith Weaver (Anna Zizzo) catches her hubby Jim Matthews (David Rommel) having an affair so she does what anyone would do in that situation… she infects him with her latest experiment that results in severe, uncurbable mutation. Meredith’s problem soon becomes everyone’s dilemma as her douche of a husband gains the ability to send forth monstrous versions of his various and sundry body parts to do the ol’ murder biz on anyone they choose… and given Jim’s ever increasing desire to eat live meat, that body count is going to rise quickly! Tom Berna’s Colony Mutation is like an early Cronenberg flick minus the Canadian tax breaks… but lack of funds did nothing to reduce this feature’s imagination! David Rommel is fantastic as our sleazy, horny, main character, and he really sells both the character’s smarminess as well as his ramping psychosis… not to mention how he relishes in his body’s new found ability to fuck up everyone’s day

‘Directive 8020′ is a new twist on the Dark Pictures’ series

Ever since the post-credits teaser at the end of The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me, fans of the series, myself included, were interested to see how the game’s series will look as its latest instalment, Directive 8020, will take the series to the stars. I want to thank Supermassive Games for allowing me the opportunity to check out their latest in terror! Directive 8020 takes place on the ship Cassiopeia, which is heading towards Tau Ceti f, an Earth-like planet that humanity hopes to colonize as Earth is dying. The mission goes sideways when and extraterestrial lifeform, and one of the crew members, jeopardizes the mission. Now, onto the game itself! Returning players to the series will have to take a moment, as the controls have slightly changed, and the gameplay is a lot different and requires new mechanics now. Don’t let this deter you, as the controls are not that difficult to learn. In true Dark Pictures’

Movie Review: Saurians (1994) – Visual Vengeance Blu-ray

A construction company blasts a massive hole in the side of a stone quarry which has exactly two results; 1. The air fills with the smell of the Earth’s farts, and 2. Dinosaurs are awakened from deep underground and decide to go on a crazed rampage… and the two things are related! Springing from the creative tar pits of Writer/Director/star Mark Polonia (Cocaine Werewolf… and many, many more), Saurians asks the eternal question of what if Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr.’s Dinosaurs! was relocated to rural Pennsylvania… honestly, we’ve asked more bizarre questions ‘round here… Anyway, produced on a shoe-string and shot on 8MM, Polonia’s film is long on charm and short on technical expertise… which always equals a good time when parking your arcane ass around the ol’ terror tube. Adding to the whole affair are a couple of fun, hand crafted dinosaurs (which appear as various (and differing) puppets and larger props) that, while lacking the deft touch of

Check out the new 15 minute gameplay video for ‘Hell is Us’

NACON and Rogue Factor are pleased to unveil a new 15-minute gameplay video for the action-adventure game Hell is Us, presented by Creative Director Jonathan Jacques-Belletête. The video provides the latest information on the game’s key features, from its narrative to its design features and combat system. Hell is Us takes place in a fictional country called Hadea, a hermit nation ravaged by civil war. Players take on the role of Remi, who was born in this country and decides to return to his homeland after many years abroad to find answers about his past while facing the country’s current dark secret: the recent appearance of supernatural creatures resembling ancient headstones and monuments in the region. Armed with weapons specially forged to fight these monsters, Remi must learn how to defeat them and use his equipment wisely. While combat is a part of the gaming experience, Hell is Us should not be considered a “souls” game. Players must learn to

Star in your own Noir story in ‘Shadows of Doubt’

Sometimes a good Noir film is what the doctor orders, a classic “Who Done it” story, a detective or private eye working on a blade’s edge between law and crime, a city full of danger and suspects, they don’t make good noir films anymore, but a game like Shadows of Doubt from ColePowerd Games and Fireshine Games will put you in the rain-drenched trench coat of a former cop turned Private Investigator. Shadows of Doubt is a first-person procedurally generated stealth game where players explore the open world of a city and help solve crimes to earn both money and Social Credits to earn the right to go to the retirement sector outside this sci-fi dystopian city. Now, onto the game itself! Controls for Shadows of Doubt are a bit tricky to master at first, even during the tutorial level, but not really anything bad. It’s just a bit annoying if you want to get right to playing. I like

Movie Review: The Million Eyes of Sumuru (1967) – Blue Underground 4K/Blu-ray Combo

Sumuru (Goldfinger‘s Shirley Eaton) is one deadly woman, she’s also a near-comic book styled super-villain hell bent on replacing the powerful male leaders of the world of the Swinging Sixties with her cadre of her murderous all-girl army, members of whom kill men with their thighs for kicks! One such attempt of Sumuru’s evil plan leads to a threat being made on the life of the leader of Sinonesia, President Boong (played by noted lunatic Klaus Fuckin’ Kinski) which results in horny C.I.A. operatives Nick West (George Nader) and Tommy Carter (Frankie Avalon sans beach, blanket, and bingo) being called in to investigate by by the head of British Intelligence, Sir Anthony Baisbrook (Wilfrid Hyde-White, whom you may remember from the original Battlestar Galactica, or that Star Trek-ass second season of Buck Rogers). Our (occasionally) hammered heroes are hot on the case and travel from Europe to Hong Kong where they are soon up to their asses in the machinations
