    Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo

    ★★

    Not sure if it's a homage, or blatant ripoff off Sam Raimi's style and the zanyness of the early Evil Dead films, but it was a blast. DIY effects featuring the most obvious claymation stunt double, stiff puppets, loose rubber masks, Lincoln Log miniatures, caked on makeup, bad acting, and plenty of cheesy gore effects. One of those Friday night grin at the absurdity of it kinda flicks. The 2nd half features an almost endless barrage of music. Both score, and a variety of punk, rock, and heavy metal. It grew tiresome.

    Made in the mid 90's, but feels aggressively like 1989.

    Den of Theives is to Heat as Land of Bad is to Lone Survivor.

    The scene where Jessica finds the Polaroid is genuinely unsettling. To know you weren't alone/safe in your own home, and may still not be, chills.

    You really just had to be your own stuntman in the Ozploitation Era, huh?

    If more mellow dramatic romances were injected with Heroic bloodshed shoot-outs I'd probably be a way bigger fan.
