Stitches and Satan’s Little Helper:  Costumes that Kill!

balloon

Stitches is an Irish horror-comedy released in Ireland in October 2012 It was released in the United States in April 2013. Ross Noble stars as Stitches the Clown, a hard drinking, rude, trashy guy who makes his living as a childrens’ party clown. Stitches meets his match at one of these parties when the bratty kids play a joke on him that ends in his death. Fast stitchesforward six years later and the same boy, Tom (played by Tommy Knight), is in high school and having his first birthday party since the one that killed the clown. The party gets under way and the kids are having a great time until an uninvited guest shows up (Ed note: Morty?). Stitches is back and he is looking for revenge! I loved this movie. It is so much fun. For starters, I can never get enough of an Irish brogue. Noble, an Irish stand up comedian, cast as Stitches was brilliant. He was definitely the star of the movie with his one liners.  The gore was over the top with buckets of blood and guts with original,  hilarious kills. I must also mention the excellent use of an 80s pop song in a film. And last but not least who doesn’t love a killer clown?! If this is what Irish horror films are like I say “more please”. Stitches is available to stream on Amazon for 3.99$.

LITTLE MISS HORROR NERD’S RATING: 4/5

Next up: a cute little horror-comedy called Satan’s Little Helper. This film is not new. It premiered at The Tribeca Film festival in May 2004 and was released direct to video in October 2005. I stumbled over this film on Netflix while looking for another scary clown film to watch. I decided to take a chance on it because it had a number of positive reviews on Amazon. The story is set on Halloween and satanrevolves around 9 year old Dougie (Alexander Brickell) who is waiting for his sister Jenna (Katheryn Winnick)  to return home from college to take him trick-or-treating. Dougie decides to go alone when he finds out his sister’s boyfriend plans to tag along. While out collecting candy Dougie meets “Satan” and unwittingly becomes a serial killer’s little helper (Ed Note: Haven’t we all?). This is where the mayhem and giggles ensue.  “Satan” steals the movie. He never says a word but is super creepy and hilarious. This is by no means a serious horror film. Amongst the laughs there is some gore, some boobs and some creepy moments sprinkled in. I couldn’t stop watching because I just HAD to know what “Satan” would do next (Ed Note: And the boobs help). This movie is available to stream on Netflix.

LITTLE MISS HORROR NERD’S RATING: 4/5

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane….And So Do I

 

mandyAll the Boys Love Mandy Lane was released on VOD Friday, September 6, 2013 and gets a national release in theaters October 11th. This movie was shot back in 2006 when the star Amber Heard was just 20 years old. The movie went unreleased in North America after The Weinstein Company sold it to Senator Entertainment who promptly went out of business. The Weinstein Company announced in March that they had reacquired the rights to the movie and would release it in the fall.

The plot centers around Mandy Lane played by Heard. All the girls want to be Mandy Lane and all the boys want to be with her. Mandy, for her part, is very cool, aloof and has a male best friend who falls into the category of nerd/outcast. Early on in the movie one of her aspiring high school suitors actually dies trying to impress her. Fast forward nine months and Mandy is invited by the popular clique to a weekend party at which all the boys plan to make their move. Mandy says yes and it is at this point in the movie that things begin to go terribly wrong.

I think the reason I loved this movie is because I am a child of the 80s. I didn’t start watching modern horror (anything released after 1969) until I was 13 or 14.  This was my mother’s decision not mine. All the Boys Love Mandy Lane could have been set in any decade all the way through the 80s. The movie had no cell phones, computers, tablets, not even a cordless phone. Even the clothing and vehicles couldn’t be placed in a specific decade. The music also gave it a definite retro feel. The only negative was that I figured out who the killer was about 30 minutes in. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I felt it had originality with a taste of familiarity. I rented from Comcast VOD for $9.99 but it is available on iTunes and Amazon.
