Aki Vs. Evil: The Loved Ones
Is this even a horror comedy? I guess we’ll find out.
Aki Vs. Evil: Little Otik (Otesánek)
With little financial pressures during the communist rule, it would seem that Eastern European countries still have a tradition of moviemaking, where there’s a certain amount of creative freedom, which is much harder to find in Western movies.
Aki Vs. Evil: Tokyo Gore Police (Tôkyô zankoku keisatsu)
Ah, yes. Police brutality as a source of jokes.
Aki Vs. Evil: Braindead and a bit on Bad Taste
Yes, the early films of Peter Jackson, although I just learned that he did Meet the Feebles in between these two. Huh, I always thought it was his third film.
Aki Vs. Evil: The Greasy Strangler
I don’t think I’ve seen small penis prosthetics in any other movie. That’s something.
Aki Vs. Evil: Gremlins (and little bit on the sequel)
Just found out that there’s actually a Gremlins series now.
Tells the story of how 10-year-old Sam Wing met the young Mogwai called Gizmo. Along with a teenage street thief named Elle, Sam and Gizmo take a perilous journey through the Chinese countryside, encountering, and sometimes battling, colorful monsters and spirits from Chinese folklore. On their quest to return Gizmo to his family and uncover a legendary treasure, they are pursued by a power-hungry industrialist and his growing army of evil Gremlins.
What the fu…? I’ll just stick with the movies, thank you.
Aki Vs. Evil: Witching & Bitching (Las brujas de Zugarramurdi)
This is one of those cases, where the movie is originally in Spanish and the DVD version I have is the German release, with optional Dutch subtitles. I don’t speak any of these languages, but I do know enough of each language that I can get by on context clues. I still do find it funny that a cell phone is ‘Handy’ in German.
Aki Vs. Evil: Grabbers
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do this, but I found a compelling reason in Ryan Hollinger’s point of view.
Aki Vs. Evil – Evil Dead II
Part of me wanted to leave this as the last movie on the list just because of the iconic nature of this movie, especially within this genre, but after going through all the options, I came up with one I would much rather leave until the end, even if that movie has reached only a fraction of the viewers this one has and is not very known in general, but we’ll get back to that.
