HorrO's Gory Reviews

  Somewhere in the North Atlantic, late 1945. A life raft adrift at sea, and in it, the survivors of a torpedoed hospital ship: with no food, water, or shelter, all seems lost until an abandoned German minesweeper drifts ominously towards them, giving them one last chance at survival. Starring: Nathan Phillips, Alyssa Sutherland, and Robert Taylor Directed by: Justin Dix Written by: Justin Dix, and Jordan Prosser      Lost at sea you would look for a vessel to save you, but not a “Blood Vessel.” An interesting mix of characters has found themselves lost at sea after their ship was destroyed. It’s dark in unfriendly waters, and time seems to be running out for them. Just when they’re on the edge of giving up a mysterious ship comes into their view. They do all they can to get aboard the ship in hopes of rescue.     First they’re surprised by what they don’t find, and then by what finds them. It’s wartime so it’s possible to have an abandoned ship floating at...

  Nine friends, all harboring a dark secret, go camping in the woods. After a wild night of partying, they wake up with SUICIDE BOMBS strapped to their chests, all with varying times on their countdown clocks. They decide to work out how to disarm the bombs or find help – until they discover they can ‘take’ one another’s time by killing each other. Starring: Sean Cameron Michael, Liesl Ahlers, and Reine Swart   Directed by: Alastair Orr Written by: David D. Jones      “Triggered” sounds like a cool name for a new game show, but this is not a game anyone wants to play. The film opens in the woods where a group of friends are using a camping trip to get reacquainted with each other. It doesn’t take long to figure out that some of these friends are closer to some than others. Some of them are couples which also opens the door for jealousy, and betrayal. While these might be common problems for some groups of friends, they’re about to encounter a much more deadly pr...

  Two years after escaping from demonic terror, the young woman is still haunted by unnatural vision. The dangers that await her and her friends are increasingly threatening: the figure of darkness rises to take their lives. Starring: Chelsea Islan, Widika Sidmore, and Baskara Mahendra Directed and written by: Timo Tjahjanto       “May the Devil Take You” seems like the polite way to ask if the devil can possess you, and there isn’t much polite about “May the Devil Take You Too.” This story continues to follow Alfie (Chelsea Islan), who along with Nara (Hadijah Shahab) get kidnapped. Not by the devil, but now grown up orphans. It appears they were abused back when they were young, and eventually got revenge on their tormentor. However, the tormentor is back from the grave for another round.   They’re hoping Alfie and Nara can use their previous experience with hauntings to help them with their current problem. It’s a rough start because not all of them are ...

  This motion picture is a suspense/thriller based on the short story; The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe. This updated re-telling is written by award winning filmmaker George Adams and possesses the quintessential features of the Gothic: a large dreary house, strange macabre characters with doubled personalities and a mysterious sickness. A contrast, this standard formula has a plot that is bizarre, unexpected, and full of unforeseen disturbances. Part of the terror in this story is the vagueness of time and place and the haziness sets the tone for a plot that blurs the real and the eccentric. Starring: Theresa Santiago, Billie D. Merritt, and John Tuby Directed and written by: George Adams       Being unfamiliar with this Edgar Allen Poe story made watching “Lady Usher” very interesting. Morgan (Billie D. Merritt) has fallen hard for her boyfriend Roderick (John Tupy). When he leaves school to return home to take of his sick father, Morgan must ...
