Backmask aka Exeter aka The Asylum (2015)



Made by Marcus Nispel, the director of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) & Friday the 13th (2009). This is his first original work and I think he should stick with remake & adaptations! F13 remake was unnecessary but okay and I love his TCM remake but man...this is just absolute garbage! After it starts at one point I was thinking may be it's a satire kind of film for the sub-genre of exorcism flicks but I was damn wrong & it eventually turned out unbelievably lame & full of cliches with plain bad story, script & characters.

Headless (2015)



I liked FOUND (2012) but as a spin-off from that great indie, initially I wasn't much interested to see a full adaption of that fake movie 'Headless'. Surprisingly it turned out a lot better than my expectation. It is what it intends to be & convincingly achieves it...a grotesque showcase of violence, gore & sadism & a good tribute to 70s over the top Splatter flicks. But within all, it also delivers a sad & tormented back story of the killer; found that keeping himself most of the time inside a cage interesting. Also his alter ego as a skull masked little kid was freaking cute...loved that sound that kid sometimes make through the mask-teeth.

Ditto! Pretty entertaining & nicely done considering the budget & the setting. Thanks for the rec, man!
