Fangoria: Blood Drive II (2005)

just watch it!

The first must-see film of the year.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

volume 2 of horror movie shorts is released from the worlds most expensive horror magazine.there are 8 short horror movies and i liked 5 of them.a couple of them were stupid comedy's that i found irritating not funny.but if you like gore you will find that here too.and as a bonus you get the hot and sexy mistress juliya hosting the DVD.now just that should be enough reason for any male to pick this up.also worth the price is a tour of knb studios.now if those three letters don't mean anything to you don't call yourself a horror fan.oh yea there is also an interview with irritating and overrated crappy actor bruce campbell if anybody cares.

Blood Drive 2 is a compilation of short horror films as chosen by Fangoria magazine. As you would expect with anything associated with Fangoria, there's a lot of blood and gore. The first short film, 'They All Fall Down' has pretty much the same plot as 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' and is very predictable, however the production values are amazing and it is very well shot. The second film, and my favourite, is 'The Gibbering Horror Of Howard Gormley', which was proudly shot on Super 8mm film. This was a very clever film, with excellent sense of style. It is about Howard Gormley, who finds a key while riding his bike. Howard rides into the woods and finds a seemingly deserted house. The key doesn't open the door but strange goings on happen inside the house and someone slips disturbing notes under the door. The rest of the films are pretty much forgettable. There's a decent horror/comedy involving Sex-Chat chicks, one about two very ambitious film makers who would do anything to make it in the industry, one about being fired from office work and having to stay there forever, one about an amputator in the civil war, one about a dread-locked killer and another film about having machines drain you of blood. Calling these films "America's Best Horror Films" is not entirely correct, as many of them aren't that good. A good watch for hardcore horror fans and Fangoria fans though.

This was a great collection of shorts. Some very scary and some just plain weird. All films are well done and set a very chilling atmosphere. Some seem like they could be part of a good horror movie and others are just two minuets of insanity. If your a fan of Fangoria and it's movies this will not disappoint. The host is a very voluptuous vixen who you find frequenting the local S&M joints or in some other Fangoria products. Eli Roth lends a helping hand to Steve Daniels "The Gibbering Horror of Howard Ghormley". "We all Fall Down" is the highlight of this collection. It's very Japaneses in its approach and could be a movie on it's own but for 10min that this one last is very scary. All in all it was a good rental and I recommend this to anyone that likes weird, shocking and scary. Horror in a nutshell.
