Morbidly Beautiful

Your Home for Horror

This week, we unmask the new meta indie horror “Faceless After Dark” and end Bruceploitation Month with the man who ended Bruceploitation.

This week, in our new movie spotlight, we look at the newest entry in the ever-popular haunted house movie sub-genre. People love to hear stories about homes with violent pasts. This sub-genre has gone beyond just scaring people as more comedy horror movies may be about haunted houses than any other subject.

For Sale has a lot going for it. Its use of effects proves there is more than the practical vs. CGI argument. Essentially, it does more with less. It also has two great leads that have tremendous chemistry. There is an overall charm to the entire film.

Regrettably, it does not manage to close the deal. There are some genuinely funny moments and some really creepy ones, but the whole thing never settles on a tone.

For Sale also never recovers from a major decision leading into the third act. Things grind to a halt, leading to an ending that is more confusing than anything else.

You can rent For Sale on VOD.

As we head into the home stretch of Bruceploitation Month, we finally get to Dragon Lee. 

A few shows back, Blake talked about how much he looked forward to covering the actor.

Kung Fu Fever is a revelation and a disappointment. Dragon Lee is even more awesome than either of us could have imagined, but the print is of very poor quality.

Blake also presents a theory that is as zany as any of the films we have covered. It may be too far out there for some listeners to accept, but after watching Kung Fu Fever, some may not think it is so ridiculous. One thing everyone will agree on is that this is one of the most tasteless Bruceploitation movies ever made.

You can watch Kung Fu Fever on Tubi.

Watch the trailer.
