Underworld

• Kill The Chill Radio - Christmas Bloody Christmas

  It's almost Christmas time, and Here in the "The Underworld" We have another episode to grace your ears right before Santa's thick ass squeezes down that chimney hole.Bloody in your movie title should indicate gore on top of gore. We must admit, the gore was pleasurable and fulfilling. While we did hope for more "blood" and less story, we weren't dissapointed with the kills given!Some of the reviews accurately described this as a Santa Terminator movie. The only lore we would have enjoyed is how the Terminator Santa became Evil and alive? Was this the work of an evil Toymaker/inventor? Is the real Santa making a Terminator version of himself to delve out his new version of coal this year? Or just the simplicity of a robot Santa malfunctioning?This movie wasn't marketed as a Hollywood blockbuster. But, the acting, camera shots, scenery, music, and overall vibe this movie exudes shows in almost every scene. Disregard the painful debates of music taste between Tori and Robbie. Or Tori's disdain for A Christmas Movie. Yes, you read that right, she hates feelin' warm and fuzzy during the holidays.Kill the Chill Radio proudly recommends this for a watch, not just for the holidays, but at any time. Also in any capacity. I taped candy canes to my nipples while watching, it made for a more festive watch!

• Kill The Chill Radio - It's A Wonderful Knife

  ***I know the audio has some minor issues, but will have it back to normal in future episodes!The Underworld Presents a new watch-along series(Audio for now) Kill The Chill Radio/Theatre. Austin and I have been talking about this for quite some time. Why not start with the second best holiday season of the year, Christmas?! We both decided blind reactions would be best for now, as it's an easy way to get us comfortable talking during a movie and still enjoyably experiencing the movie! It's been some time since we've had quite a few Christmas horror films come out within a few years of each other, or a larger selection of films at that in Christmas horror. Justin Long and the marketing for this particular movie ultimately sold us both. The story and acting were a bit lackluster in our eyes, but still enjoyed some of the goofy moments, and the kills for obvious reasons. Justin Long steals the movie, alongside his dopey brother Buck with slapstick delivery and menacing energies.

• Idle Hands - Underworld Review

  "Idle Hands," a 1999 horror-comedy film directed by Rodman Flender, is a delightful departure from traditional horror movies. It stars Devon Sawa as Anton, a teenager whose life takes a bizarre turn when his right hand becomes possessed by an evil force, leading to a string of gruesome murders. What sets this film apart is its clever blend of horror and humor. The plot revolves around Anton, a slacker with no ambition, whose life unravels as his malevolent hand embarks on a murder spree. The dark and absurd humor prevalent throughout the film is one of its defining features. "Idle Hands" doesn't take itself too seriously, embracing its own absurdity and delivering a polarizing experience. While some viewers may find the campy and unconventional nature of the film entertaining, others might be put off by its graphic violence and occasional juvenile humor. Over the years, "Idle Hands" has garnered a cult following, primarily because of its unique fusion of horror and comedy. While it may not be considered a cinematic masterpiece, it provides a refreshing and unconventional take on the horror genre. Devon Sawa's portrayal of the unwitting and hapless Anton further contributes to the film's charm. "Idle Hands" is a film that caters to those with a taste for dark humor and a willingness to embrace its absurdity. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's a worthwhile watch for those seeking a different and somewhat offbeat horror-comedy experience.

• Terrifier II - Underworld Review

  Now, when it comes to Art the Clown, this guy makes Pennywise look like a cuddly chew toy, my parents poodle gnaws on. Seriously, he's got that silent, deadly vibe that'll haunt your nightmares for weeks. Kudos to the makeup and costume team, who've turned Art into the stuff of childhood fears and midnight terrors. And let's not forget the kills, my friends, because Terrifier 2 went above my standards in a few kills. We're talking some that'll make you squirm in your seat, but at the same time make you chuckle, well maybe that's just me. Art's like the MacGyver of murder, always finding a way to turn everyday objects into instruments of mayhem. You've got to appreciate his resourcefulness, even if it's the kind that gives you the creeps. Now, about the story... Well, it's a bit of a wild ride. But you know what? Sometimes a rollercoaster of chaos is just what the coroner DID NOT ORDER, especially when you've got Art the Clown causing chaos left and right. There's a lot of "But, why?" You'll be saying a few times throughout the film. It's likely they're doing this for obvious reasons, another sequel! Which, I don't see anyone having a problem with this, except my mother possibly. Let's talk about those standout scenes. There's one particular scene that'll have you wincing, well some of us anyway. It involves a certain body part that's, well, creatively "unequipped" if you will. The best death on screen takes a deeper look at the callousness that Art wields, and it's not only gut-wrenching to watch, it's ironically hilarious to me. Terrifier 2 isn't for everyone. If you're not a fan of over-the-top gore, in-your-face violence, or creepy clowns that make your skin crawl, this might not be your cup of tea. But if you're like me, nothing is off-limits when it comes to horror, so if you agree, then grab your popcorn, turn down the lights, and get ready for the madness. Just brace yourself – things get messy, like "how-did-they-even-get-away-with-that" kind of messy. In the grand scheme of things, Terrifier 2 is a decent sequel that delivers on the promise of disgusting and brutal kills and a clown that'll haunt your dreams. It may not win any Academy Awards, but if you're craving a classic slasher with a hint of dark humor, it's worth giving it a go. Just remember – your perception of clowns may never be the same again.

• Terrifier - Underworld Review

  Clowns have a peculiar and multifaceted historical background, encompassing roles as Jester's entertaining royalty to becoming popular figures in children's entertainment over the years. However, there have been instances where the clown image has been marred by those who adopted it for malicious purposes, tarnishing its innocent reputation. In this context, Art the Clown emerges as a significant character worth exploring. Initially introduced in the 2013 film "All Hallows Eve," Art the Clown now takes center stage in "Terrifier," a full-fledged slasher movie that promises to be a disturbing and unsettling experience. The film delves into its antagonist's dark and twisted psyche, challenging conventional perceptions of clowns. Although I tend to gravitate towards psychological thrillers with elements of horror and plot twists, I decided to give "Terrifier" a chance, albeit cautiously. Extreme gore and splatter films, which feature prominently in various "Iceberg challenge" lists, have never been my cup of tea due to their borderline realism and graphic nature. To my surprise, "Terrifier" defied initial expectations. Despite starting like your typical B-movie with subpar acting and a weak plot, the film managed to rise above these limitations, primarily due to its expertly executed practical effects and well-crafted atmosphere of dread. The film's Antagonist, Art the Clown, portrayed masterfully by David Howard Thornton, exudes an eerie and sinister presence that leaves an indelible mark on the audience. The kills are unapologetically brutal and detailed, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the practical effects team. The narrative in "Terrifier" appears somewhat hazy at first, but it soon becomes apparent that this artistic choice is intentional. It offers us a glimpse into the mind of a disturbed individual who approaches his sadistic acts with a childlike sense of play. For Art, his victims are mere toys, and when they fail to amuse him, he callously terminates their existence, displaying no remorse and denying them the chance to beg for their lives. Intriguingly, this animalistic and emotionless approach to violence adds an unconventional layer of depth to the film. It transcends the conventional slasher formula by exploring the psyche of the antagonist, providing a glimpse into the mind of a malevolent force in human form. While "Terrifier" may not appeal to everyone, especially those with a weak stomach, it offers a unique and chilling experience for those who appreciate delving into the darker realms of horror. The film's ability to delve into the disturbing mentality of Art the Clown makes it an unsettling and captivating watch, serving as a grim reminder that clowns, with their painted smiles, can hide more sinister intentions beneath their facade.
