Jason versus Frankenstein's Army

It's not very often that a movie comes along and totally rings my bell, but Frankenstein's Army is one of them. Wanna know why? Read on, constant reader! Toward the end of World War II, Russian soldiers pushing into eastern Germany stumble across a secret Nazi lab, one that has unearthed and begun experimenting with the journal of one Dr. Victor Frankenstein. I have but one complaint with this movie, and that's that it's yet another entry in the found-footage genre. But it has a traditional score etc. Why? What's the point? The film would have been better served as a straight-up narrative, in my opinion. End of short rant. Everything else about this flick is bad to the ass. In fact, there's an entire sequence where I was glued to the screen, my jaw wide open, shocked and awed at what I was watching. This is an old-school monster movie, with multiple monsters the likes of which I've only seen in nightmares. And they do terrible things to people over...

Francis Ford Coppola wants your #nightmare

News hit The Basement email this week about something called the most Twixted place on the web. Naturally, we had to check it out. In reality, the most Twixted place on the web is a website promoting writer/director Francis Ford Coppola's latest flick -- his first excursion into horror since Mike S's fave Dementia 13 -- as it hit DVD and Blu-ray last week. Word has it it's not that great, and stars Val Kilmer. Take from that what you will. I'm not sure if the creepy pictures and comments were put there by the marketing folks behind Coppola's Twixt or automatically uploaded by average mofos using the #nightmare hashtag on Twitter, Instagram or Tumblr as the site claims. Either way, it's pretty cool and worth noting. Kinda makes me want to check out the movie and see if it's as terrible as people say.
