Movie Review: Deadgirl (2008)

-

Synopsis: Teenagers Rickie and JT cut class and explore an abandoned insane asylum. While escaping a guard dog, they entered a locked room and discover a naked woman tied to a table. Rather than freeing the woman, who they later learn cannot be killed, JT, instead, decides to keep her tied up so he and his friends can continually rape her, something Rickie is opposed to but is too weak to prevent.

Who's in it? The movie stars Shiloh Fernandez, Noah Segan, Candice Accola, Eric Podnar, Jenny Spain and Susan Marie Keller.


Review: I remember watching Deadgirl in the past and not enjoying it all that much. However, as I've said before, I am a big believer in second chances and figured I'd give it another try. After rewatching it, I am proud to say my original opinion of the movie was the correct one.

If I were to classify this movie under a specific category, it would be under zombie rape porn. It's about a couple high school boys (Segan and Wheeler) who keep a female zombie (Spain) tied up and locked away so they can continually have sex with her. Frankly, it's the type of plot that makes me wonder what kind of childhood trauma the writers were suffering from.

Granted, there are some other scenes involving the one friend, Rickie (Fernandez), trying to rescue the girl and another one with the school bully, Johnny (Andrew DiPalma), getting his penis bitten off while trying to rape the zombie too. Those, however, were really just a short-term break from what was a quite disturbing plot (and not in a good way).

As a result of this, by the time anything exciting actually started to happen (at the very end of the film), I found it really hard to be enthused about it. Part of the reason for this was the fact those scenes were kind of predictable. The other part of it was the fact I was still trying to grasp why anyone would think raping a zombie is entertaining to the point we need to see it over and over again.

Oh, and I should mention the end of this film does nothing to save it. I won't go into too much detail about it. I'll just say Rickie starts to personally realize the benefits of keeping a zombie tied up for rape purposes. In other words, there's just nothing about this movie that is redeeming.

Final Opinion: If you are part of a (sick) minority that enjoys the idea of raping the undead, this is a movie you might enjoy taking the time to watch. However, if you want to watch an actual horror movie/thriller, I do recommend avoiding this film. I know I regretted taking the time to re-watch it last night.

My Grade: F

Kwik Trip Kitchen Cravings Tailgater Pizza

  When my wife and I decided on pizza for dinner last night, I stopped at Kwik Trip with the intention of just buying a cheap, frozen, cheese pizza for our daughters since we already had another pizza in our freezer. However, as I was walking up to the checkout counter, this particular pizza caught my eye and, even though I wasn't crazy about spending $8.99 when I already had another option at home, I was intrigued enough to make the purchase anyway. We ended up making the pizza in the oven when I got home. After trying it, I have to say it is one of my favorites. One of the things, in particular, that really stood out for me when it came to this pizza was the toppings. The combination of sausage and cheese curds was both unique and delicious, especially since the curds were fresh enough to still squeak when we were eating them. The pizza also proved to be surprisingly filling, both because of the thicker crust and the generous amounts of toppings and cheese.  Normally, when ...

Movie Review: Abigail (2024)

Synopsis: A team of criminals is hired to abduct Abigail, the young daughter of an unknown wealthy man with the promise of being paid a percentage of the $50 million in ransom money. They hold Abigail in a remote mansion with the expectation of it being a simple 24-hour job. Instead, they soon learn the mansion is an elaborate and unescapable trap and their hostage is really a centuries-old vampire. Who's in it? The movie stars Melissa Barrera , Kathryn Newton , Alisha Weir , Dan Stevens and William Catlett. Review: I came across Abigail on Peacock a few days ago and, while I was concerned the trailer gave away too much of the movie for me to be surprised by it, I gave it a chance last night. It turned out to be a great choice. I'll start out by saying that group of criminals had to be some of the dumbest people I've ever seen in a horror movie. Not only were there red flags to begin with, starting with the whole "hand over your cell phones" thing, they still ...
