This is, as the title suggests, indeed a sequel, although You're Next Parts 1 and 2 are short films that are included on the DVD release of Part 3. This tiny trilogy includes two early horror movie efforts of a tiny Twin Cities, Minnesota-based group of film makers called Not For The Squeamish Productions.

You're Next (Part 1) is just one scene. A woman is home alone, she gets a strange phone call, she stands to close the basement door, a guy in a mask sneaks up behind her and cuts her throat, the killer washes the knife and puts it neatly away, roll credits. It's about two and a half minutes long.

You're Next, Part 2 is also a single scene, featuring the killer in the same rubber mask. In this "sequel," the killer shows up randomly when a woman's car stalls in the woods and hacks her to death with a pickax. Again, it's about two and a half minutes long.

You're Next, Part 3 features the same killer in a rubber mask, this time wielding a pair of saw blades attached to a large wooden pole (yes, I know what I just wrote). So the credit as an "Axe Wielding Madman" is somewhat misleading. Also note that said madman, played by horror author Joe Knetter, does have a shower scene, displaying his non-existent buttocks. Don't say you weren't warned.

On the plus side, b-movie horror "actress" Elske McCain does give the audience full view of her enormous assets. Young blonde hottie Scarlet Salem also prances about in something silky, although she doesn't show her goodies, to my knowledge, until Terror Overload (another NFTS production).

The loosely-defined plot consists of the two ladies eating ice cream and watching the popular public domain flick Night of the Living Dead, while wearing their nighties and exchanging dirty banter. After they poke each other in the cleavage with their ice cream cones, one girl gets naked and takes a bath. After some more dirty banter, the killer shows up and hacks them to bits.

Despite the low production values and the porno-level dialog and acting, this is actually a reasonably entertaining little flick. The technical aspects are competent enough in terms of sound and lighting, and the synthesizer score is just about perfect for a movie of this nature. In many ways, this reminds me of a number of the shoestring-budget Direct-To-Video horror flicks that used to adorn the shelves at the local rental store back in the early 1990's.

As far as I know, the only way to get this movie is through NFTS's web site. I personally purchased it at a horror convention they were attending. It's worth picking up if you're a fan of cheesy, low-budget independent horror.

Like many of the movies I've been writing reviews for, Blood of Dracula's Castle is part of a twelve movie boxed set from Mill Creek, a company that deals in very cheap (and sometimes public domain) films. The transfer isn't great. In fact, when I first started watching this, the screen was so completely covered with green lines (from wear) that it reminded me of The Matrix. Personally, though, I believe this adds to the aesthetic of the movie; something about the apparent age of the film makes it that much more enjoyable to watch.

In some ways, this movie reminds me a bit of a 60's version of The Addams Family, as it features a sophisticated, middle-aged couple that lives in a rented castle and are quite open about their vampirism (or their being "the living dead," to be grammatically correct). In addition to a standard manservant (George, played by the great John Carradine), they also keep around an orange-skinned feral guy named Mango around, who roams the surrounding wilderness, hunting and capturing the bikini-clad young women who, for some reason, seem to be in abundant supply in this area. The young hotties are collected and contained in a dungeon, where they are harvested for their blood. Occasionally the charming vampire couple also let Mango have one of the babes for his own purposes, which are thankfully never shown or fully described. They also have a younger friend, Johnny, who is an open and quite charming serial killer who goes nuts when the moon is full.

Enter into the picture a young couple, the incredibly condescending Glen and his fiancé Liz. They enter the scene because Glen has inherited the castle from some relative, and the two stumble around in a manner not unlike Scooby-Doo and the gang, slowly discovering the danger that surrounds them. It's actually very cute, in a campy sort of way. The dialog between the spooky castle residents and the innocent young couple is so corny, it could have been penned by Ed Wood himself.

Okay, so the whole premise of this flick doesn't make a lick of sense. And the print the DVD was made from is terrible. And the crazy man-beast that everyone keeps talking about is named after a tropical fruit which does, of course, prevent him from ever being taken as a serious threat to anyone. It doesn't matter. What matters is this is good, cheesy fun for the whole family, if your whole family is plenty drunk.

The titular Razor Eaters are a gang of Australian hooligans who decide to terrorize civilization and film their exploits, loosely based on a similar gang that rampaged through Melbourne. Their crimes are cruel and brutal. They kill without mercy. They burn people alive. And they even have official t-shirts.

Perhaps half of the movie focuses on the Razor Eaters, and the other half follows the hardened cop, Detective Danny Berdan (Paul Moder), who is trying to track them down. As with Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers, both the detective and the nation itself follows the activities of the gang through the video tapes they leave behind. While many are terrified of the gang, others support their activities, in part because many of their crimes are committed against other criminals, although they use a very broad definition of the term criminal to include people they just don't like. For example, they promise to target drug dealers, but end up killing people for driving like idiots and having loud car stereos. They've also got issues against the media and those who create it, but by the end of the movie it becomes apparent that they are very much enjoying being a part of that media.

It should be noted that, while the actual segments that were filmed by the gang have a documentary feel to them (with the camera moving around all over the place), most of the movie is not shot this way. Personally, I think this gives the movie a more "realistic", true-to-life feel without rendering the entire film unwatchable.

I bought this movie as part of a four-movie set out of the bargain bin at a local department store, along with two other independent movies of the 2000's (and, for some reason, Night of the Living Dead, a movie that gets tacked on to just about any "horror" collection as filler). This is probably the best of the set. Honestly, I think it's worth watching for virtually everyone, but those fans of extreme cinema living down under should definitely consider checking it out.
