It made $213 million internationally, including $128 million in America alone on a $17 million dollar budget.


One Hour to Die: You Have All Been Poisoned (2011) -  I enjoyed this sordid Tubi-tastic home brew of a thingy. It has some really obvious plot holes that I won't bother to describe, but it's just to say: Tubi is most likely the end fof the line for it, but it's fun. As a bonus, it has 3 different naked or half naked blonde chicks, and the hottest one gets totally nude.

A priest, of all people, is the guest of honor at a birthday party somewhere in England. For a full 1/2 hour plus they play stupid parlor games and reveal what weirdos they are, till the priest opens a birthday card with the titular message. I didn't really like the filter or whatever it used, I would have preferred just normal found footage style camera but I got used to it. The priest, at some points, is seemingly a symbol for religion or God or something. It's sort of part disaster movie, part off Broadway play like that one where people are all in purgatory but don't know it, and part found footage horror.

Besides of the awesome and frankly much needed nudity, it doesn't quite scale the insane heights of, say, Chupacabra vs La Llorona as far as Tubi anti gems, but I watched it in one night and enjoyed it, despite the suspension of disbelief stuff.

4.5 /5 others would rank it much lower I'm sure.



edit : like this guy, for example "In fact, I'm rather convinced that if I were to watch a snuff film starring my own mother it wouldn't irk me as much as One Hour to Die." https://www.horrordna.com/movies/one-hour-to-die-you-have-all-been-poisoned-dvd-review

Press Releases and Film News / RIP Yoshihiro Nishimura

The Japanese director of "Tokyo Gore Police" (and special effects expert on many other Japanese horror movies of the 90s and 2000s) is dead at 59.

He also directed "Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl," "Helldriver," and co-directed "Mutant Girls Squad." You may also know his effects works from such films as "Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead."

I thought he was the most talented of his circle (not including Sion Sono.)

MOROZKO aka FATHER FROST (1924):
To check out the poster image on Letterboxd (as well as some of the reviews) you'd think this was a freaky art/horror flick, hence I sought it out and watched it. Don't make the same mistake! This is a 40 minute nothingburger where the eponymous Krampus-lite weirdo appears only briefly and does nothing!

Honestly I couldn't brief you too well on what does happen - a peasant family in snowy Russia sits around their hovel, bickers, then a female member wanders around in the snow and gets lost... maybe is in danger of freezing... then maybe (?) is rescued by "Father Frost" or whoever... makes it home... and there's a party or maybe a wedding? I have no idea and couldn't care less. A handful of intertitles are in Russian w/ no available English subtitles, though the scarcity of foreign text couldn't significantly illuminate this threadbare and uneventful slog. Is Father Frost the West's "Santa Claus"? He's got long creepy claws and doesn't seem too jolly, but then he doesn't kill or eat anyone either (unfortunately) and there is a sleigh.......

And hey, what's up with the plasticine noses (and other facial features) on so many silent film actors? Were these hold-overs from their theatre makeup kits and they didn't realize they looked ultra-fake in close-up/on camera? I'm talking about members of the family here, not the mythical snow-guy of the title. It makes ya' really appreciate the credible self-created FX worn by Lon Chaney during the same era.

2/5 at best. I got nothing out of it. Riffs might help but then I don't even think there's enough here to make fun of.

I too was underwhelmed by the much-vaunted action sequences in CTHD. I think the fights are inferior to a lot of other Chinese/HK films and after HULK I decided that Ang Lee is just not a good director of action. However as a character drama, I agree CTHD is really strong.  :smile:
