Review: “She Kills” is a Hilarious Must See!

Published

Ridiculous. Disgusting. Fun.

Ridiculous. Disgusting. Fun as all hell.

From Ron Bonk comes a nearly perfectly executed grindhouse horror/comedy film, She Kills. Starring Jennie Russo as the lead character Sadie, She Kills takes the body horror genre to a disgusting new level, making Teeth look like a Disney Channel movie. I recently had the pleasure of viewing it before it’s been released.

The synopsis from the advanced screening reads as follows:

“Sadie’s life is destroyed when a vicious gang called ‘The Touchers’ targets her for their sadistic fantasies after witnessing her sexy but innocent naked frolicking in a nearby field. On her wedding night, they attack her and her husband Edwin, brutalizing both of them. But during the attack, the virgin bride discovers a dangerous secret about her body—she is cursed with the legendary ‘Fire Crotch,’ a condition where Satan has laid claim to her vagina. After visiting her fortune-teller friend Casparella, a space exorcism is attempted on her meat flaps, but it only ends up unlocking secret hidden powers inside her. Her hatchet wound becomes lethal, her most deadly weapon in her thirst for revenge against The Touchers and her fight against lustful men everywhere!”

Wow. Yes, you read that right. This is a movie about a possessed killer vagina. Filled with loads of cheap practical effects (the movie cost only $8,000 to make) and very inventive ways of making the female genitalia a weapon of mass destruction, this sleazy homage to late ’70’s grindhouse films succeeds in not only grossing you out, but also cracking you up the entire time. If David Wain and Michael Showalter of Wet Hot American Summer fame decided to do a spoof on the exploitation genre, it would most likely look a lot like She Kills. The humor is over the top and ridiculous; I learned several new absolutely gross slang terms for a vagina. The acting, for what this movie is, works wonderfully. It’s corny dialogue works well to fit into the genre, almost making you wonder if this movie really was from the time period it is taking reference from.

It probably comes as no surprise from the description that this movie is highly offensive. So much so, that when my puppy curled up with me on my lap to cuddle as I watched the screening, I felt bad having such a sweet innocent thing bear witness to this movie and moved her into the other room. Bodily fluids fly freely throughout the film and sex pervades mostly the entire film. Jennie Russo is an actress that is obviously very comfortable being nude on film, and I won’t complain about that one bit. The death scenes are very inventive and make good use of the effects they had, saving the best and most creative one for the last kill, which leaves you laughing while cringing at the obscenity of it all.

"Are you telling me my mustache isn't cool!?"

“Are you telling me my mustache isn’t cool!?”

The Touchers are just as awesome as the main character of the film. The gang’s leader, Dirk, sports one of the dumbest mustaches of all time, which goes down onto his neck, passes through his chest and then circles onto his nipples, all connected. He’s cool, he’s sexy, he’s the man, and you don’t want to mess with the mighty Dirk. Also, he carries around a bag of dried cold sores to munch on. Nice. The rest of the ensemble is great too, and you have to give bonus points to the big goon Blue for having a Leatherface portrait on his arm.

Clocking in at 141 minutes, the movie seems to drag a bit at times, featuring a disco scene that went on for what seemed like forever. Fortunately, whenever there is a lull in the movie something either funny or disgusting (or both) comes up almost immediately and you forget about whatever scene felt too long. The hilarity of it all truly redeems this film from anything that feels like it has been dragging on.

All in all, She Kills is a horribly disgusting and hilarious film but not for the weak of heart. This is definitely a movie that needs to be seen to believed. Space exorcisms. Black Jesus. Martial Arts. Killer vaginas. Exploding penises. It’s all there.

I reached out to filmmaker Ron Bonk and found out the movie will be released to festivals and theaters in September, with a Blu-Ray, Dvd, and VHS (!!!) release around March or April 2016. You can visit the official Facebook page to keep yourself updated here.

In the meantime, be sure to watch the trailer below!

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments

Published

on

It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.

We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.

Evil Dead Rise

“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”

That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”

Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening

Published

on

Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.

Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.

Happy Sad Confused

Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.

Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.

Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.

The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake gyllenhaal presumed innocent

Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s in ‘Presumed Innocent’

Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.

These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:

According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”

Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.

Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
