Â Review: Bloodsucking BastardsÂ (2015)Â

The familiar and friendly face to horror fans, Fran Kranz from Cabin in the Woods leads a cast of office slackers that face being over run by vampires in the horror comedy BLOODSUCKING BASTARDS. The film benefits from a witty script, a great cast and gallons of grue but still has trouble gelling as a whole film. The Grue-Crew review the film providing thoughts on what jokes works, what effects thrill and what actors provide the most to the uneven but enjoyable script.

What Have You Been Watching: Area 51Â (2015)

Over five years in the making – or perhaps rotting on a Blumhouse shelf – the follow-up film from Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity) called AREA 51 finally makes its way into the public’s eye – currently available on Netflix. The found footage film follows a group of overly curious young men investigating what lies beneath the storage buildings found in the infamous Area 51. Will they find a conspiracy, aliens or a horror beyond imaging. The Black Saint wonders if they will find … a film, any talent or any common sense. Doc, on the other hand … well, the less said the better.
