Scalper

Super slasher low budget

Jake Busey gets a bad rap but, like his dad, to me he makes everything he's in a little better just by being him.

This has a great looking slipcover, and shipped real fast. Great little movie with some great gore in it!

When I woke up today I didn't think I'd be watching a movie where someone gets anally knifed to death. Turns out I was VERY wrong and this was the second movie of the day where that happens. Thankfully this one was better than the first.

I really only checked this out because I enjoyed the ambition of Chad's Lovecraftian horror films and wanted to see what he could do with something a little more grounded. I got what I wanted from it. Some great practical effects and a good enough story that has some over the top justifications, but it all made it more fun.

Even as I watched it, I thought there should be a prequel. And of course, as I look through Chad's films to see what else I need to watch, there already is one. Not a prequel, but this is a sequel to The Night Caller? I'll have to watch that in the morning.

Jake Busey has turned into a mix of Triple H and Costas Mandylor and I'm okay with that.

Scalper has some really cool and nasty moments! The slipcover is really cool and the movie itself is pretty entertaining. Highly recommended!
