HOLIDAYS [2016]

A gaggle of genre directors (including Kevin Smith & Nicholas McCarthy) band together to create Holidays, a pretty tedious horror anthology that is more huge miss than minor hit.
Nobody seems to have brought their A-game to this mess of a film and it hurts the enjoyment of it quite a bit.  There's a few moments of interest, mostly Nicholas McCarthy's hilariously offensive Easter segment but you're better off avoiding this uninspired amateurish shit-fest at nearly all costs.

WRONG TURN 2: DEAD END [2007]

Most direct-to-video sequels are generally known to suck.
So it was a wonderful surprise to find that not only was Joe Lynch's sequel to Wrong Turn entitled Dead End pretty decent but it was light years better than the original.
This rollercoaster ride of a backwoods inbred cannibals flick is filled with great sick & twisted humor, loads of grisly kill scenes, a wildly fun score from Bear McCreary and ofcourse, some bad to the bone Henry Rollins goodness.
This ain't high art but it damn well knows that and runs with the gory fun that it is.
