Shorts From The Morgue © Dead Vision Productions

Do you even Dead Vision bro? This is my favorite film house. Dead Vision Productions headed by Lucky Cerruti. This is a collection of shorts from DVP's earliest days. It has 5 shorts with a total runtime of roughly 15 mins. And for those of you who don't wanna wait and read this or too lazy to go buy this compilation you're in luck. All of these are available to watch 100% free at the Dead Vision Production's YouTube channel. So make sure to head over there and check them out! 

I feel this showcases just how well Lucky is at crunching a story along with visual effects into a short amount of time. He gets in, socks you in the face, and gets out. I feel that's one of his strong points even today. He knows what he wants to get across and by golly he gets it across. If you're a fan of DVP than you know there is always this almost tangible atmosphere that Lucky creates. That talent is present even in these early shorts. It's definitely a standard that i hope is kept up at Dead Vision.

Well let's do a quick quick quick run down of these shall we?

×××ALARM×××

Good effects. I like the idea being modernized. I am however kinda over the whole 'how'd that get in me' type storyline. 2/5

×××WHITE ELEPHANT×××

My favorite in this collection. Great fucking story. Really entertaining to watch it unfold. Love how it gets more disturbing with each gift. And fuck I really enjoyed Lucky's character's gift. Very original story. 5/5

×××STUFFED×××

Another one with Lucky. This one is pretty cool. Have to admit, I thought i saw this one coming. Ending got me. And if you can throw a little surprise twist in a 1 minute short, you're doing something right. Only thing about it is it's right after WHITE ELEPHANT so the bar was still really high. Honesty that's the only thing. 3/5

×××COUCH POTATO×××

Love the noir feel. Bout time we get to see a dead body. Really like the play on the title. But if this was called anything else, i wouldn't have really enjoyed it. That little bit of humor went a long way for me. 3/5

×××A BUTCHER'S LAMENT×××

Another great example of Lucky's ability to tell a good story in a small amount of time. Good bit of gore in this. Outside of WHITE ELEPHANT this is the most memorable of the collection. 4/5

This is a great little collection of shorts that really does show the strengths of Dead Vision Productions. Lucky knows what he is good at and he grabs it by the balls. In the short amount of time that DVP has been active they have came a long way. From single shots of one actor in front of a table with some food to making his own full body monster puppet for their most recent release, FREAK. You can tell that Lucky really cares about what he puts out. High quality, low budget.  

Make sure to check out Dead Vision Productions for all their releases and VOD. 

DVP is, as I've said, my favorite label. Check them out and you'll easily see why. Trust me. I'm Some Guy.

LoveDump a film by SamHel © A Baroque House

A Baroque House. If you know about them than you know more or less what's in store for you here. LoveDump is the latest release from writer/director SamHel. The film has a runtime of 35 minutes and stars Wolvie Ironbear and Apricot Pitts. And Special Effects by the wonderfully talented James Bell. I own the DVD release that was limited to 300 copies.

The story follows serial killer, cannibal and necrophile Denise Holmes. It's told through a voice over of Detective Jamie Holmes, voiced by SamHel, as he reads journal entries of Denise. It's your basic visual showcase though. You watch these movies for what's happening onscreen more so than the actual story. 

Now i went into this movie blind. I've never seen anything SamHel has released prior to this. So i must say HOLYFUCKINGWAITWHAT?!?! Ya. While more sexually driven films aren't my taste at all. I must say that for what this movie is, it's well done. It makes you uncomfortable. You're not sure how to feel most of the time. The gore is fantastic. That's what i wanted. Plenty of gore and this delivers. Now if you are unaware of A Baroque House you're probably unaware of the porn aspects of their films. This one is no different. I think that's what puts me off with this one. It's just not my cup o' tea as they say somewhere. Now that is not to say this is a bad movie. It's not. It's really cool and dark and kinda sad. I just don't get into that particular part of the scene. I'm more of a straight up gore guy. And if you are too than you will definitely like the efx in this. Not shit you see everyday even when you're into this scene. Imaginative gore is always a huge plus in my book.

The acting was good. Nothing goofy to take you out of the mood. Not too much of a coherent story but i get the feeling there wasn't meant to be one. 

I went in blind as i said. Not sure really what to expect. Now while i won't revisit this anytime soon i will definitely support SamHel. He is a good visionary for his particular nitche. He makes the stuff He wants to make and that is admirable. He most certainly is a competent filmmaker and someone to keep an eye on in the future.

Looking at you Vomit Lee wherever you are.

Trust me, I'm Some Guy.

Hello. I'm Some Guy.

5 years. It's been 5 years since I have made a post. So I imagine I am speaking to a brand new audience. So let's start over. Yeah? Cool bro. Real cool. 

So this year I decided to pull the trigger on something I have wanted to do for a long time. Start collecting underground and extreme movies. Now I have been a fan of the scene for years. I have owned my Toe Tag collection since about 2010. But this year I heard about a release called Edmund Kemper The Movies. I needed it. But i knew enough about the tape trade scene to know it was going to be a bit of a journey. So down the rabbit hole of underground and extreme cinema i went. And I dove in head fucking first. Grabbed up everything I could on my search for Edmund Kemper The Movies. On my search i met lots of decent people, traders, buyers, sellers, bootleggers, film makers, distro house owners ECT. All are really cool people. I grabbed up some of their stuff. They point me in a new direction for  hunt. Eventually I found Edmund Kemper. But by that time it was too late. I was in too deep. I started out searching for 1 movie. Owned 12 more before I got it. And have a fucking LONG list of films to add to my humble little collection.

During my hunt I came across a few production companies that i instantly fell in love with, Dead Vision Productions primarily, and a few artists, Tyler from Cover Your Corpse, who i feel needed more word of mouth promo. I spam my own FB wall just to help let people know about the lesser or newer faces coming onto the scene. But I think this will also be a good jumping off point for new fans and old ones alike that feel like there are only 3 or 4 decent places to find new and older rare films. 

So that's what i did on my 2020 quarantine break. I finally started collection in a real way. I wish i had started sooner. Mainly because I imagine by now I would have most of my wishlist movies in my possession now. But also because of the driving force behind all this, the people.

So that's my plan from here on out. I love this scene. I love indie film makers. I love just being fucked up and weird. And i love discovering my next hunt. So hopefully i can help people with that and the information and review itch alot of us have. 

Ill be uploading reviews once a week. Regularly. So feel free to get the word out. Reach out to me with a request or anything you'd like to ask me. Im sure ill be able to get you whatever info you would like to know.

Trust me. I'm Some Guy.
