PUT THAT IN YOUR FUCKING BOOK!!

Zombie Zane here coming at ya live and direct from the seven six one oh seven. Sadly this could be Dead End Horror’s last post seeing how the world may be coming to an end tomorrow. Maybe I shouldn’t have paid all my bills this month...Maybe I should’ve crashed that party after all...Maybe I should’ve...Aw, fuck it. Who am I kidding? The world ain’t gonna end tomorrow. People need to get a grip and check their bong water yo. Speaking of that I’d better...

Ok, enough foreplay. Let’s get to this week’s topic. This week at Dead End Horror, Sasha and I are watching and reviewing shocking horror films. And do I got a good one to tell y’all about. Ever seen the film, ‘SCRAPBOOK?’ No? Fortunately for you, I have. Actually Sasha and I both have seen it. She’s got a review of it too so go by and check out what she has to say about it. Two opinions are better than one, yes. Don’t just take my word for it.

‘SCRAPBOOK’ is a horror film about the kidnaping and torture of a young woman over the course of several days. The title of the film refers to a scrapbook that her captor keeps as documentation of all the women he’s tortured and killed. Sounds pretty interesting huh?

Anyway, this film was directed in 1998 by Eric Stanze and was released in 2000 in the USA by Sub Rosa Studios. There’s also a censored version that was released in the UK but who wants to see that one? Gimmie the good shit man!

Speaking of the good shit, I really liked this film. I mean for an indie it wasn’t bad at all. It did have some flaws, like the sound wasn’t the greatest. And it did drag a bit. The characters weren’t developed as well as they could’ve been and it kinda had a hard time building suspense. But don’t get me wrong, these flaws aren’t enough to make this movie a piece of shit. For what it is it’s damn shocking. And that’s the point of this weeks topic.

And yes, there is plenty of shocking stuff to go around in this film. Here’s a brief list without going into too much detail: ass rape, ass rape with a bottle (big end first...OUCH! Sounds like Saturday night at my house!) The killer dude urinates on his prisoner (golden shower) he forces here to suck him off, (side note- he may need Viagra as he was a tad limp during the scene) There’s plenty of violence, some you just hear some you see, but really this movie doesn’t leave much for the imagination. It pretty much shows it all. Tell ya what, let me break it down a lil further for ya...

BODY COUNT - 1- Just one dude dies but then again, there’s only like 3 people in the cast

SEVERINGS - Just a couple of toes. There are several severed hands and shit scattered about the film however.

SEX SCENES - Ummm, there no sex in this film...Well not consensual anyway. Not sure if rape counts...But there’s plenty of that.

NUDITY NUMBER - 5 out of 5!! Plenty of it here. Balls, bush, boobs, butt, and dick. (Sorry, I couldn’t think of a word for dick that started with a ‘B.’)

GORE SCORE - I give ‘Scrapbook’ a 2.5 out of 5 on the gore meter.

MY SCORE - 3 out of 5. I rated it different here than I did on my shocking horror movie list. As my shocking horror movie list ratings was based on shock factor not like ability. Ya dig?

Well, there it is. Maybe the last post ever at DEAD END HORROR. But if the world doesn’t end tomorrow, then we will be back next week. So until then, take care, stay a-scared, and I am out. (Hopefully not forever.)
