Ozploitation is alive and well...
posted on 18 Apr 2009If your idea of a good time is sitting down with a couple of beers, a pizza and old scratchy VHS copies of Razorback and Turkey Shoot, then you'll enjoy IKHMRYSLS.If you like slick US tween horror, then you probably won't - unless you're a fan of the Australian accent or cricket :) IKHM is your archetypal slasher flick - everything's there... flashbacks to the killer being bullied as a kid, shower scene, killings using various weapons, a group of people stuck in the middle of nowhere like lambs to the slaughter etc...Sound was dodgy when I saw it at Frightfest, but doesn't seem to be a problem on the screener I viewed since.I love my 70s and 80s slashers, and like this for what it is... a homage to those films, made with heart, plenty of fake blood and a minuscule budget. Bring on IKHMRYSLS 2!!
A Smashing 6!!!!!
posted on 04 Jan 2009Saw this film at FF08 and have been meaning to get around to writing a review for ages so here it goes. I'll try not to give too much away.Don't go in to this film thinking your going to be watching a big budget Hollywood blockbuster because your not. What you will see is a film made by two people who instead of sitting around saying I really want to make a film got up off their asses and did it and it turned out great.If you like cricket and blood and guts your in for a treat because this film has both. I've never bothered watching cricket on TV because it comes over as a bit boring but using cricket equipment as torturing devices and murdering weapons makes it a lot more fun.If your a short film maker thinking of making your first feature length then watch this film (I can't wait for the DVD extras). Its a real inspiration on what can be done with a little money and a lot of love for film. If your film ends up anywhere near as good as this then good for you.Anyone who plays cricket should watch this as a warning that a ball, bat and stumps can be used in horrible ways after the game has finished, if you cheat I would stop now.Just watch this film now. Its tongue and cheek in your face horror comedy that deserves at least one run in your DVD player.
Good fun with your mates and a few beers
posted on 25 Nov 2008Is it a comedy horror? No. It's not Scary Movie spoofy fun or Shaun of the Dead laugh-out-loud, and it's not Exorcist scary, but is it a satirical slasher? You bet...Rented it last night (in the new releases section, next to Queen Sized, chubby girl-spolitation film!), and sat through it with a couple of mates, some ice cold beers and a suitably cheesy pizza.To anyone who can't work out what a satirical slasher is, then think of it as a low budget illegitimate child of Starship Troopers and Friday the 13th. Starship's played-straight satirical edge with Friday's fun deaths(?!).Production values are OK for a low budget film, but the sound design and score/soundtrack were top notch. Don't want to spoil any of it, but how can you spoil a slasher film which plays by the rules? there's always going to be plenty of deaths and a twist you can see coming from half-way through... albeit slightly more twisting than I'd thought.Didn't have time to check out the directors commentary, but the DVD extras are pretty cool. Some behind-the-scenes of the low budget gory effects, THE FULL UNCUT SHOWER SCENE!!!!!, a making-of EPK-style thing. The filmmakers don't come across egotistical nonces who think they've made a blockbuster, which is nice to see.In the end, I was very happy I went tracked it down and rented it. The more of these original little gems we get, hopefully the less Hollywood remakes will happen! can but wish...
Great film!!!!!!!!
posted on 11 Nov 2008I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer was one of the best films at this years fright-fest, From the outset this film was great the story kept you hooked trying to figure out how the killer would kill some one with in geniuses use of cricket equipment and a awesome twists and comedy scenes (eye poke scene) awesome and witty!! and the twist at the end was just great around this film rules a truly great film a must watch if you love comedy horror. i think Stacey Edmonds and Doug Turner have made a awesome film with awesome effects great story and a around terrific film, these two Ozzy director have a lot of potential to become great horror/ comedy horror directors and they really got to make a sequel to I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer!.Pete
My favorite film at Freakshow Horror Film Fest
posted on 01 Nov 2008Firstly, what a weekend. Freakshow programmers did themselves proud - Alien Raiders, Battle of the Bone, Vlog, Shadowland and I Know How Many Runs etc. A real diverse bunch of movies."I Know How Many..." is a micro-budget movie from Australia, made from start to finish it seems by 2 folks; Doug Turner and Stacey Edmonds. Kudos to them for getting this film over the line and finished to such a high standard."An evil, imposing cricketer returns 20 years after being bullied to kill his ex-teammates" - can't really go wrong with that premise! Although I admit the cricket theme went over my head, the film stuck to the slasher norms. Was more horror than comedy - the splashy gore was fun, and the nudity mandatory. The comedy was more of a giggle/chuckle rather than laugh-out-loud - I would have preferred a more "Shaun of the Dead" style comedy, but hey, you can't have everything.For a low budget film, it looked and sounded great - as an aspiring filmmaker, I'm hoping they do a similar making-of as the "Broken" short film (google "What is Broken?").As definite must-see for fans of slasher movies, horror/comedies and aspiring filmmakers! Here's hoping they get distribution in the US - I can't get enough of this Ozzie horror.
A highly-entertaining innings
posted on 24 Oct 2008This small gem of a film goes to show what can be achieved with a lot of talent, imagination and determination and without any major backing.It is blatantly a B-movie and without of the post-modern cleverness of some current horrors, it goes back to basics in terms of T&A and violence. The story is a standard revenge plot but bombs along with some neat twists and turns backed by some neat editing, great gore and SFX and a killer sound-track of metal and rawk! The shower scene is so totally gratuitous it will have you laughing and the kills come frequently enough that you'll be entertained, but varied enough that you are never bored.The cricket theme is really just an excuse to use every cricketing implement as a murder weapon, so don't worry if you're not a sports fan, as long as you are a horror fan you won't be disappointed.I'd love to see what the husband and wife director/producer team can do with a real budget next time out, but kudos to them for getting up off their backsides, working for years and producing something this good and this fun.I saw this at the 'night of horror' festival in Sydney, but I hear that it has got DVD distribution in UK, Oz and US so support low-budget film making and buy/rent it!
Does what it says on the tin
posted on 04 Sep 2008Caught this at Frightfest last night after the harrowing Eden Lake! We needed a bit of light relief, and this delivered in that respect.Been reading a fair bit about it online, seems like it's taken a while for them to complete it. But for a low budget film, it delivered the T&A and gore we needed after the previous film.Was quite impressed with the couple of fight scenes - something you don't normally get in slasher films. The cricket element was there, but as a definite non-cricket fan, it didn't put me off - just made it more eccentric.Oh yep, and the shower scene was TOTALLY gratuitous... and great!
So bad it's kinda good
posted on 17 Jul 2009This is a B-movie or even a C-movie if you will. I watched it at the Frightfest in London, were the "stars" of the movie, who also produced/edited/directed and what not the movie, held a Q&A after the movie. They were more than likable and at least as crazy as they were portrayed in the movie ... just kidding, of course.If you look for some nice "killings" in movies (as I believe anyone is who watches Jason movies for example) and don't mind the low production value of the movie, than you might have a fun time with this film. Acting wise you shouldn't expect anything either. But the movie knows what it is and it never tries to fool you into thinking it is something fancy or convince you that the actors actually can act. It's low-to-no budget with some nice (make-up)effects. If you're "down with that", than go ahead and watch (but don't say, I didn't warn you!)
