American Expose' : Who Murdered JFK ? (1988)
1700718798220.png

60 years ago to the day that changed the course of US History (and certainly the course of the 1960s), the debate surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy still continues.

This 2hour TV special , which aired in the late 80s, challenges the official story put forward by the Warren Commission , which at this point, was only 25 years in the past.

Instead American Expose' and it's host , the late Jack Anderson , put forward a number of alternate suspects behind the assassination , like an Agatha Christie novel.

Whatever you agree with the conclusions of the special, it can safely be said, that what happened 60 years ago today , was one of the most disturbing, and haunting chapters, in American History.

Blood Rage will forever be perfectly cheesy '80s slasher fare. It's by no means perfect, which works as a major strength because the movie ends up being so insane that it becomes vastly more entertaining than you'd ever expect. Found out about this one a few years ago and haven't looked back since.

Thanks, Dead Meat. :D
 
Jack-O (1995)

No-budget, Halloween-wannabe, supernatural slasher.

This is a bad film. Borderline Plan 9 from Outer Space bad. It's a frequent contender for worst horror film ever made. To call the plot paper thin is a massive understatement. The directing (Steve Latshaw) and editing (Wayland Strickland) are both awful, with scenes depicting shifts from reality to imagination descending into confusion. The acting is truly dire (several of the cast - thankfully - called it a day after this). Latshaw cast his own nine year old son as child lead - a 'Milkybar Kid' lookalike with the facial expression range of a block of wood, and a voice stuck in monotone; fear, surprise, joy, they all look and sound exactly the same. And he still manages to act just about everybody else off the screen.

However... It has three things going for it. 1) Good camerawork/lighting; 2) good creature design for the 'Pumpkin Man'; and 3) B movie icon Linnea Quigley. Fans of Linnea will know that she always plays to her strengths - and boy does she here; Femme Fatales magazine called her introductory, completely irrelevant, prolonged nude shower scene her 'most gratuitous ever' (which is saying something!). The overall final result is that - in a 'so bad it's good' kinda way - it's pretty entertaining (much like Plan 9 from Outer Space). 5/10
