SOUL SURVIVORS (2001)

From the time that SCREAM came out in 1996 and up until SAW came out in 2004, there was around a quarter of trillion of these college-age, beautiful people slashers. It was the worst of times, it was the dopest of times cause I deep love for watching these dorky stinkers. They’re always so cheesy. This time around we have a JACOB’S LADDER meets a kinda URBAN LEGENDS vibe…but with ghosts. It’s goddamn terrible, so naturally I own a copy and love watching this smelly turd.

A young woman, who seems to be able to do literally anything without A) making a mess of it B) drawing a lot of attention to herself or C) ending up in the hospital, somehow is accepted to a nice-looking college. On her very first day at college, she goes to some weird, dorky rave at a rundown church where they literally brand your hand to get in. What the hell? Surprisingly, there are weirdo creeps there. One weirdo creep car wreck later and our hero’s life is turned upside-down and she’s seeing ghosts all over the joint and running down two different hallways at the same exact time. It’s horrible and therefore wonderful for fans of bad movies.

Realistically, SOUL SURVIVORS is a 3 / 10, but for pure, yelling at the TV fun…it’s more like a 7 / 10. Very little blood, zero cheerleaders, zero gore, lots of bad dialogue, Casey Affleck talking with that annoying voice of his, needless story twists that add nothing to the already stupid story, extremely quick nudity, stupid as fuck ending.

MUTANT HUNT (1987)

I don't think anybody has ever mistaken MUTANT HUNT for a great movie...if they have they're a fucking idiot, but it is a fun movie (to laugh at) and sometimes that's all you need.

Set in the near future, MUTANT HUNT tells the heartwarming story of a bunch of peaceful cyborgs who like to get high. One of the side effects of a cyborg getting high is they get pleasure from killing humans. Sounds reasonable enough. Humanity's only hope at stopping these bloodthirsty "jellyheads" is tighty-whitey wearing, robot bounty hunter Matt Riker. Aaaaannd that's about it. Matt and his buddies wander around deserted industrial areas, fight a few robots, mention the "space shuttle sex massacre", eat Chinese take out, fight some punks, elbow a woman in the face and eventually locate the evil dude that drugged the cyborgs and kick his ass. The End.

Only worth watching if you're into this sort of super low budget, 80's action garbage and even then I don't recommend watching it alone. Boredom might set in. I was almost in a full blown coma by final showdown, but with some like-minded friends over you should have a fun time.
