A few days ago I posted about a bunch of horror flicks I bumped into this year, but wasn't going to devote a full review to. Guess what. There's more. Let's get to it.
A huge hurricane leads to flooding down in Florida. Huge flooding leads to alligators being in some unusual places chomping on folks who ignored the evacuation notice. Dumb but fun creature feature that knows not to stick around any more than 90 minutes. By that point our suspension of disbelief is hanging on by the thinnest and most frayed string imaginable. Realizing this, the movie just abruptly throws in the towel.
A young woman moves into a very pleasant apartment complex and soon finds out her neighbors aren't as nice as they first appeared. Presents a disturbing situation but doesn't create as much tension as it should. Too narrow a focus and too short a runtime are to blame. It whips by before we're fully invested. Strong third act mostly saves it despite it all being wrapped in an easy metaphor.
Jeffrey Franken is about to marry the girl of his dreams who is, of course, named Elizabeth Shelley. A horrible lawn mower accident cuts her up into pieces and shreds most of her. Good ol' Jeffrey preserves her head and sets out to get her a new body using parts from the local hooker population. Darkly funny, weird, and cool practical fx all on a shoestring budget. This is the epitome of so bad it's awesome.
