Join your faithful Grue Crew – Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr – as they fly into John Carpenter’s first film, Dark Star (1974), which was born as a student project and nurtured into a feature film by Carpenter, co-writer Dan O’Bannon, and executive producer Jack Harris.

Here’s a doozy for all of you John Carpenter fans out there. And, let’s not forget Dan O’Bannon and Jack Harris. This is it, John Carpenter’s first directorial effort, straight out of college (literally), the sci-fi comedy, Dark Star (1974). Strong Stanley Kubrick influences abound from Dr. Strangelove… (1964) to 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). You don’t have to look too closely to see the elements that leap from this film into Dan O’Bannon’s Alien (1979) script. In fact, Aliens (1986), directed by James Cameron, pays homage to this film with its famous knife challenge gag. Rough around the edges for certain, Dark Star still manages to entertain and provide a chuckle or two. Check out what the Grue Crew thinks. Strap in and may the beach ball alien be with you!

At the time of this writing, Dark Star is available to stream from most free w/ads, subscription, and PPV sources. It is also available on Blu-ray from VCI Video.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode, chosen by Doc, will be Hammer’s The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973). Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee for the win!

The Final Destination (2009)

It’s only fitting that the worst instalment of the Final Destination franchise be given the stupidest title. The Final Destination. Pfft. Give me a break.

When Nick O’Bannon (Bobby Campo) has a premonition at the speedway, he saves his friends and other bystanders from a horrific death. As the survivors are picked off one by one by a “random” chain of events, it becomes obvious that by saving these people, Nick interfered with Death’s plan.

The previous film was bad. This one’s even worse. To begin, we once again follow a new pool of characters meaning that we have to sit there twiddling our thumbs waiting for them to catch up to what we already know. If the characters were somewhat interesting, you might forgive the repetitive plot, but from frame one, half of the characters establish themselves as nothing more than meat for the grinder. Nick Zano plays Hunt, a character whose entire dialogue is composed of comments that establish him as a despicable douchebag. He stands absolutely no chance of surviving or even of displaying human emotion. Unfortunately, it takes forever for him to get sent to the grave. Why this obsession with making characters we don’t like? You know the filmmakers are trying to cash in on some schadenfreude, but this is supposed to be a horror movie, not a dark comedy! There’s no suspense whatsoever because of course, the Neo Nazi (Justin Welborn) isn’t going to make it past the 40-minute mark. I could’ve told you that without even seeing the film!

There’s hardly a plot here so the deaths are the only thing you can look forward to. Unfortunately, it’s 4 movies in and you can tell the people in charge have started running out of ideas. Some of these kills are downright ridiculous. I’ve seem more credible demises out of an “Itchy and Scratchy” cartoon; either that of the people in this horror universe are composed entirely of bags of meat and of blood. No bones or organs save for long lengths of intestine to decorate the streets and the onlookers’ faces.

This movie stood no chance. The big opening catastrophe in The misses the point of this franchise. Randomly avoiding a plane crash that kills all your friends is lucky. Dodging strategically thrown car engines, tires and rubble is cartoonish. Everyone in this universe would suddenly start believing in magic and prophecies after seeing the absurd chains of events that off people in this film.

The film is so desperate to keep the franchise going that about 2/3 of the way in, it re-starts. Nick has another vision detailing the death of the remaining survivors. It’d be funny if the film wasn’t so boring. The special effects aren’t even that good, guaranteeing the gore won't satisfy anyone. The best thing about The Final Destination is that my Playstation 3 is smart enough to recognize it as a truly idiotic title and the name Final Destination 4 popped up when I threw my Blu-ray into the machine. (2-D version on Blu-ray, September 13, 2016)

Revolution Endgame Comic Strips

Revolution Endgame Comic Page

The first issue of Sinister War set up the latest Spider-Man event to be the endgame that Nick Spencer has built his entire run around. Kindred has set the stage for Peter Parker to face his toughest test to date as Spider-Man. The demonic villain did this by assembling every Spider-Man to work for him. With the odds stacked against him can Spider-Man survive the endgame Kindred has crafted all of his plans around? Let’s find out with Sinister War #2.

Revolution writers David Reed and Ryan Parrott handled the writing duties of the digital comic’s four chapters, after breaking the story in the writers’ room along with the rest of the Revolution creative team, which included Kripke, O’Bannon, Paul Grellong, David Rambo, Trey Callaway, Anne Cofell Saunders, Ben Edlund, Matt Pitts and Jim.

Which is end the story. Exactly the way we would have. So J.J., Jon and I are pleased and proud to announce the REVOLUTION endgame: a four-issue series coming soon from DC Comics.

Writers: Nick Spencer and Ed Brisson

Apr 28, 2019 Endgame is about as perfect a conclusion as you can get for the tale of the Avengers, and a real cinematic miracle in that it not only works, but that it is a fantastic film. Do yourself a favor and se e this film, fan or not, because you won’t see anything like it in our lifetime.

Artists: Mark Bagley, Diogenes Neves, Carlos Gomez, and Ze Carlos

Inkers: Andrew Hennessy, John Dell, Andy Owens, Carlos Gomez, and Ze Carlos

Colorist: Brian Reber

Story Rating: 1 Night Girls out of 10

Art Rating: 6 Night Girls out of 10

Overall Rating: 3.5 Night Girls out of 10

Synopsis: As the Sinister Six (Doctor Octopus, Max Dillon’s Electro, Sandman, Kraven the Hunter, Lizard, and somehow Mysterio, who “died” again inAmazing Spider-Man #71) stand in Kindred’s hideout Doctor Octopus is frustrated by having to work for Kindred.

Outside, Spider-Man is thrown through a gravestone. Foreigner, Jack O’Lantern, Chance, Taskmasker, and Black Ant continue the assault on Spider-Man. They are able to quickly get Spider-Man held down with Foreigner ready to shoot Spider-Man in the head.

Flashing back to sometime in the past, while they battled one another Taskmaster, Foreigner, and Chance are taken by Kindred’s demonic centipedes.

Back in the present The Superior Foes (Overdrive, Boomerang, Hydro-Man, Shocker, and Speed Demon) take Spider-Man with the intentions of being the ones to get credit for killing Spider-Man. Hydro-Man and Shocker do a combo attack that takes out Foreigner, Jack O’Lantern, Chance, Taskmasker, and Black Ant.

Flashing back to sometime in the past, as Overdrive recruits Boomerang to help him find Carlie Cooper Kindred’s demonic centipedes take Overdrive, Boomerang, Hydro-Man, Shocker, and Speed Demon outside the Bar With No Name.

Spider-Man is completely overwhelmed by all the villains he has faced in the past in Sinister War #2. Click for full page view.

Back in the present The Syndicate (Trapstr, White Rabbit, Beetle, Scorpia, Lady Octopus, and Francine Frye’s Electro) cause Overdrive to crash. The Syndicate then proceed to attack Spider-Man together. Spider-Man does his best to dodge all the attacks. Spider-Man is then suddenly stabbed from behind by Anastasia Kravinoff (the daughter of Sergei Kravinoff and Sasha Kravinoff).

Flashing back to earlier, The Syndicate talk about bringing Anastasia Kravinoff to their group. As they talk Kindred’s demonic centipedes take all The Syndicate members.

Moments after this the Superior Foes, The Syndicate, Foreigner, Jack O’Lantern, Chance, Taskmasker, and Black Ant all start fighting amongst themselves as they blame one another for being kidnapped.

Revolution Endgame Comic Strips

Kindred shows up to reveal he is the one that kidnapped all the villains. Taskmaster tries to attack Kindred but he along with all the other villains suffer severe headaches.

Kindred reveals he implanted small demonic centipedes in all of the villains heads and he can order them to kill them at any moment he wishes. Kindred says that he can take the demonic centipedes out of their heads but they must help him punish Spider-Man for his sins by killing Spider-Man. Kindred says that the one who kills Spider-Man will become his lieutenant.

As he starts walking away Kindred finishes by saying if they don’t follow his order then he will find someone who can.

The Sinister Six and Savage Six are then shown charging towards Spider-Man’s location.

The Good: Unnecessary. That is the first word that came to mind each time I read Sinister War #2 before starting to write this review. This issue adds absolutely nothing to build excitement or interest in the latest big Spider-Man event.

The only positive I have towards Sinister War #2 is that at least the artwork is solid. While I am never a big fan of art-by-committee Mark Bagley, Diogenes Neves, Carlos Gomez, and Ze Carlos did a good job maintaining a sense of consistency for the look of this issue. The way the entire issue is done Bagley’s art style takes the lead, which is the right move since he drew the entire first issue of Sinister War #1. Inkers Andrew Hennessy, John Dell, Andy Owens, Gomez, and Carlos along with colorist Brian Reber deserve as much credit for the consistency in the artwork. They helped maintain a similar look so that the focus can be on the chaotic action Spider-Man was in the middle of.

The Bad: Reading Sinister War #2 the first time I got to the end thinking that Nick Spencer and Mark Bagley worked on the entire issue like the first issue. With that in mind I felt in that first read through that the entire issue was rushing to get to the final page no matter how much actual plot progression is made. It wasn’t until I went to the credits when working on this review that I noticed the movie end credit-like list for the creative staff that it all clicked that Sinister War is a completely rushed event. The only thing that matters is getting things over with so we can get to the new creative direction for Spider-Man.

The lack of plot progression really is the biggest stand out of Sinister War #2. We are almost in an identical spot we were in when Sinister War #1 concluded. The only difference between the first issue and Sinister War #2 is Spider-Man getting stabbed from behind by Anastasia Kravinoff. Outside of that everything is considered new content in Sinister War #2 is either information that we knew about Kindred or just unnecessary.

The big unnecessary aspect of Sinister War #2 comes from all the flashback pages dedicated to Kindred “recruiting” all of Spider-Man’s villains. There was absolutely no need to dedicate page space to how Kindred gathered all the villains for this story. It completely takes away from the hype moment seen in double page spread at the end of Sinister War #1 where Spider-Man is surrounded by all of his villains.

Revolution Endgame Comic Page

Rather than explaining why the villains are working for Kindred what these flashbacks ended up accomplishing was making the Sinister Six, Savage Six, Superior Foes, Syndicate, and other villains come across as a joke. They are nothing more than grunts to delay the big final battle between Spider-Man and Kindred. At no point did it actually feel as though Spider-Man was in danger of dying. You knew immediately that the villains would get in each other’s way because the flashbacks set them up to be that kind of joke.

Kindred desire to kill Spider-Man to make him pay for his sins grows in Sinister War #2. Click for full page view.

It does not help that Kindred’s entire recruitment of Spider-Man’s villain do nothing to progress his endgame. We learn nothing new about what Kindred’s endgame is. It is just the same rant of making Peter Parker pay for his sins by killing him that we saw repeated over and over again in The Last Remains story arc. Its to a point you just tune Kindred’s rants out as he has become a caricature of himself by this point.

This is incredibly disappointing when you consider there are so many interesting storylines that were built up leading into Sinister War. Rather than presenting repetitive character beats or unnecessary flashbacks those pages should’ve developed the stories around Mary Jane Watson, Carlie Cooper, Brand New Day’s Harry Osborn, or Norman Osborn. Nick Spencer has spent so much time making these characters as important to the story as Spider-Man and Kindred that it is a shame that the main series for Sinister War isn’t spending time developing these key sub-plots.

Which once again points to how much of a crutch the tie-in comic books have become to Spencer’s storytelling during his run on Amazing Spider-Man. A lot of what goes on in Sinister War #2 comes across as Spencer knowing he has the Amazing Spider-Man tie-in issues to tell character centric stories. By having those tie-ins to fallback on Spencer is using content that comes across as filler to get to the page count given to each issue of Sinister War. It all leads me to wonder if Spencer was forced to tell the Sinister War event only in Amazing Spider-Man if we would’ve gotten a much tighter, more compelling story in each issue.

Overall: Nick Spencer and company completely drop the ball with Sinister War #2. For how little is accomplished in Sinister War #2 the entire comic book comes across as rushed from beginning to end. The massive creative team behind Sinister War will now have an uphill battle that is even greater than the one Spider-Man is fighting against Kindred to regain the high interest coming into this event.
