Pool Party Massacre (2017)

Familiar Actress:
LeeAnna Vamp

True Rating: 2.5/10

Body Count- 11

Note: It's supposed to be a homage of 80s low budget slashers. The atmosphere is borderline porn style. The acting also feels like that. Not to mention at least one actress is actually a pornstar! The characters were annoying and unlikable except Nancy. The kills were fine though and it had a few things I actually didn't expect. Which is why I gave it a little credit.

Apocalyptic Horror (2017)

Familiar Actors:
None

True Rating: 3.9/10

Body Count- 13 (The Domestic- 0), (One Careful Owner/2 Careful Owners- 5), (Makeover- 1), (The Allotment- 3), (Red Wolf Pines- 4), and (Mister Samhain- 0)

Note- Wow Amazon really?! This anthology was terrible. Atrocious acting, poor production quality, and a segment that was so out of place yet the best of them. Mister Samhain is a short horror documentary and still manages to be more interesting than the rest. Don't waste your time on this one!

BAMF's rating:

Dead 7 (2016)...

Familiar Actors:
Nick Carter
Carrie Keagan
Joey Fatone
A.J. McLean
Chloe Lattanzi
Debra Wilson
Howie Dorough
and
Chris Kirkpatrick

True Rating: 4.3/10

Body Count- 152+ (Some shots were off-screen so hard to know if all were killshots)

Notes: The acting is bad, but that's a given when the cast is made up of Boy Band members from the 90s lol! The whole thing feels a lot like Z Nation.

Peelers (2016)...

Familiar Actor:
Manny Jacinto

True Rating: 5.4/10

Body Count- 32 roughly (I counted when they get infected as well as permanently killed)

Notes: It was fairly decent although some things just felt out of place. It's nowhere near as fun as Zombie Strippers! There are some off the wall characters as well.

The Bad Batch (2017)

Suki Waterhouse
Jason Momoa
Keanu Reeves
Jim Carrey
Yolonda Ross
Giovanni Ribisi
Emily O'Brien
and
Diego Luna

True Rating: 5.2/10

Body Count- 5

Note: It's not really horror like it claims as one of the genres. It's a bit too long with barely anything happening. Big Actors are underutilized. The characters and music were good though.

Familiar Actors:
Casey Affleck
Rooney Mara
Ke$ha
Brea Grant
and
David Lowery

True Rating: 5.5/10

Body Count- 7

Note: It's an arty sort of film. So it's mostly boring, but there are some pretty neat moments that save it from being a total waste of time.

Trilogy of Terror (1975)

Familiar Actors:
Karen Black
and
George Gaynes

Familiar Actors:
Royal Dano
Phil Fondacaro
and
William Butler

True Rating: 5.7/10

Body Count- 11 with 4 unconfirmed (2 seem likely though)

Notes: So at least this one was a bite more entertaining than the first one. The acting could still use some improvement as well as the script. I felt though the story in this one was more interesting.

Three Extremes (2004)

Familiar Actors:
Bai Ling
Byung-hun Lee
and
Hye-jeong Kang

True Rating: 7.3/10

Body Count- Roughly 9 give or take (Dumplings-4?), (Cut-3), (Box-2?)

Note: Cut is my favorite of the three. They each have some good ideas to them, but Box was a little boring which was surprising from Takashi Miike. Dumplings was interesting and disturbing, but it just didn't make sense in some bits.

True Rating: 7.2/10

Body Count- 8

Note: I didn't know exactly what to expect from this. There were some really good moments and I thought the acting was pretty good. The only thing that bugged me was it was a bit too dark to see at times and the deaths were kind of bland.
