"I want to put on record that the flick out there using the word Hellraiser IS NO FUCKIN' CHILD OF MINE! have NOTHING to do with the fuckin' thing. If they claim its from the mind of Clive Barker, it's a lie. It's not even from my butt-hole."-Clive Barker

It Came From Netflix:Hardware(1990)
By Eric Polk-
As mentioned on the previous episode of DBHR http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ericdescent/2012/04/12/dollar-bin-horror-radioepisode-lvi-the-radioactive-dead
I got the chance to watch this movie yesterday before the show. Admittedly, I haven't watch a whole heckuva post-apocalyptic horror fare. Not because I don't like the genre, I just really have that as a preferred choice when it comes to movies. With Hardware, directed by Richard Stanley, we see a dystopian world ravaged from the effects of a nuclear holocaust.

It Came From Netflix:Hell Night(1981)
By Eric Polk-
Tough as it is to leave Possession behind in it's sewer-smelling wake(incidentally, I appear to be one of the only people in the world who hated that movie as evidenced by the numbers of hate mail I received), I move to visit college, 1981 style. Or rather, spend night in a Victorian home....A Hell Night!!!!

It Came From Netflix:The Black Cat(1981)
By Eric Polk-
Not to be confused with the Bela Lugosi film of the same name, The Black Cat is an Italian thriller directed by legendary filmmaker, Lugio Fulci. Sadly, this movie is subpar at best.

It Came From Netflix:Children of the Corn(1984)
By Eric Polk-
Adaptations of Stephen King's stories have been a mixed bag. You have the sublime of movies such as Carrie, The Shining, The Dead Zone, and the tv mini-series version of The Stand.The inanity of Graveyard Shift, Thinner, and Silver Bullet. Then you have 1984's Children of the Corn based on a King short story.

It Came From Netflix:The Video Dead(1987)
By Eric Polk-
The original idea behind Dollar Bin Horror was reviewing movies that were released on the cheap. Blowing only a George Washington or less to see either a treasure or a clinker has quite the lure for someone on a budget and if there is a living embodiment of this concept, it's 1987's The Video Dead.

It Came From Netflix:Let Me In(2010)
By Eric Polk-
Here we go again. A vampire and an adolescent in love. For pete's sakes not a pre-teen version of Twilight!!!! The answer in this remake of the 2008 film Let The Right One In is, proudly,no.

It Came From Netflix:Edge of Sanity (1989)
By Eric Polk-
I can only imagine what was going on in Anthony Perkins' head in the years following his epic performance as Norman Bates in the original Psycho. So much pressure to follow that up with something as good if not better. And to his credit, I felt he filled that goal adequately, even making a tolerable reason to watch the gawd awful Disney movie, The Black Hole.

It Came From Netflix:Hatchet for the Honeymoon(1970)
By Eric Polk-
As we approach the beautiful Thanksgiving holiday here in the states, one thing that I am thankful for is that I don't suffer from narcolepsy because I would have hated to wake up in the middle of this sleep-inducer directed by the legendary Mario Bava no less!

It Came From Netflix:Intruder(1989)
By Eric Polk-
I conclude my month-long(well a month and two days)devotion to slashers with a little movie featuring the Raimi Bros and Bruce Campbell in bit roles(Don't let the dvd box cover fool you. They had little to do with this movie). Nevertheless, this movie directed by Scott Spiegel is a nice slice of 80s cheeseball.

It Came From Netflix:Pieces(1982)-Part I

So here I am, upstairs in my ready room about to spew forth my take on a movie that seems to have cranked the dials of the hardcore horror nation to eleven for years...except for DBH's own Brandon Sites. So let's begin with the trailer for this film since it seems to give off 'geekgasms' in the words of Ms.Reaper....

It Came From Netflix:Fear No Evil(1981)
By Eric Polk-
You'd think in my years of watching movies, I wouldn't be duped into thinking just because a box cover looks awesome means the movie will be just as good, if not better. Well, double dumbass on me for thinking that thought about this film directed by Frank LaLoggia.

It Came From Netflix: Don't Go Near The Park (1981)
By Eric Polk of The Audio Descent podcast-
Trudging along through these Don't-titled horror films(After watching these things, I need a session with Dr.Phil), I come upon the 1981 low-budget bonanza known as Don't Go Near The Park and to be honest, I'd rather had been tortured by the dentist in Marathon Man then watch this POS! Ok, the first half isn't too terrible, but the 2nd half....Oy Vey!

It Came From Netflix: Don't Go in the Woods (1982)
By Eric Polk of The Audio Descent-
Continuing with my screen of Don't-titled horror films(against my better judgement), I'm presented with this film, shot in the horror hotbed of Utah for a budget lower than...can't think of a metaphor but it was obviously pretty low.
Directed by James Bryan, Don't Go in the Woods is a typical slasher about four young campers, Craig, Peter, Ingrid, and Joanie backpack through the mountains for a relaxing weekend in the wilderness. While they are hiking in broad daylight, someone starts killing tourists in the woods. Craig warns the others not to go into the woods alone. The mountains are crawling with nerdy bird-watchers and young couples, most of whom meet gruesome ends at the hands of a deranged and growling woodsman with a sharp spike.

It Came From Netflix: Don't Look in the Attic (1982)
By Eric Polk of The Audio Descent podcast-
Wow! There is no way in Hell I can type this review with a straightface. I cannot believe that a group of individuals got together sometime in 1981 over in Italy and came up with this visual piece of bowel obstruction. The plot, itself, the idea, isn't bad.

It Came From Netflix: A Blade in the Dark (1983)
By Eric Polk of The Audio Descent podcast-
Our 501st post is a review of a movie directed by Italian auteur Lamberto Bava(director of the legendary film, Demons). Released in 1983, A Blade in the Dark tells the tale of Bruno, a composer, becomes involved in a series of murders who lives in a villa. In a horror film Bruno is scoring: a young child, taunted by cruel bullies, descends into a dark cellar after a bouncing tennis ball. The kids hear a scream and the ball bounces up to them, leaving bloody tracks on the wall. Sandra, Bruno's director, explains that her inspiration was the childhood of Linda, the villa's previous tenant.

It Came From Netflix: Don't Go in the House(1980)
By Eric Polk of The Audio Descent podcast-
Directed by Joseph Ellison, this 1980 psychological thriller owes a debt to Psycho, but does manage to make its own imprint.
Donald "Donny" Kohler is deeply disturbed individual who was emotionally and physically scarred by burns inflicted on him by his mother. As a child, whenever he did something she saw as "wicked," she would hold his bare arms over a gas stove in an effort to "burn the evil out of him." Due to this he has developed a secret obsession with fire and human combustion. During his job at an incinerator, he observes a co-worker, Billy, catch on fire. Instead of going for help, he stares, mesmerized. When he returns home he finds his mother has died. While he is free from her possessiveness, the only life he has ever known is gone, and with it his chance for revenge against her. He sets out to avenge himself on every woman who bears a resemblance to his hateful parent with the aid of makeshift steel chains, a home-made flamethrower and a steel-paneled bedroom crematorium.

It Came From Netflix: Train(2008)

By Eric Polk of The Audio Descent podcast-
Director Gideon Raff has gone on record as saying this 2008 film used the largest amount of blood ever. And yet, 28 gallons of red liquid cannot save this movie from basically being a bad take on Saw.
During a trip to Eastern Europe from a wrestling tournament, a group of students along with their chaperon commence to partying the night before they're scheduled to leave for their next meet. Of course, they miss their train. Luckily for them, an alluring Eastern European lady tells them of another train that can take them to their next destination.

It Came From Netflix:Christmas Evil(1980)
By Eric Polk of The Audio Descent podcast-
I don't know what drugs director John Waters was on when he declared this 1980 film to be the 'greatest Christmas movie ever made'. No disrespect to the man, but he obviously had to have been high when he made that statement. If you want an ultra-violent, well-made movie about a Santa slasher, see Silent Night, Deadly Night.
If you wanna see prolonged, boring sequences interspersed with poor editing and WTF moments, then by all means watch this!

Ahh yes, it's the most wonderful time of the year. Time to kick back,relax, imbibe in egg nog, and watch your favorite yuletide cinema. Up first, it's the prototype slasher film, Black Christmas.
