Extended Preview: SHRUNKEN HEADS!
Added 2021-04-09 17:48:47 +0000 UTCWell hello there, Traxians! Erik here. Does your Friday need a little more "What the--" in it? Well then have I got the riff for you.
Just added to the site moments ago, it's Shrunken Heads, from director Richard Elfman (brother to Danny), and writer/producer Charles Band (Oblivion, Subspecies), a filmmaking team-up which means you're in for some truly weird and ghoulish insanity:
When three teenage boys are gunned down in the street and a creepy old man saws their heads off after the funeral, you know you’re in for some wacky hijinks and misadventures!
Tommy, Bill, and Freddie are three comic book-loving boys who return to life as Shrunken Heads thanks to their local shopkeeper / voodoo man, Mr. Sumatra. Mr. Sumatra used to be in the Tonton Macoute, which is a little like finding out that Sesame Street’s kindly Mr. Hooper used to fly in the Luftwaffe.
Through the well-known, traditional Shrunken Head powers of “flight” and “shooting lasers from their eyes” the boys embark on a mission of revenge (Cool!) and seduction (Disturbing!)
I told you! (It's rated TV-MA for various reasons.) Get the VOD here, watch the Extended Preview above, or download it here.
Have a good weekend!

Don't recall seeing a copyright date in the credits, but hey! What's not to like about the 50's-90's?

2021-04-13 13:52:58 +0000 UTCThe first five minutes implies that this will be a family friendly comedy about friendship and overcoming neighborhood bullies. The TV MA ratings tells me that this movie will take a left turn into darkness severe enough to give me whiplash.

2021-04-09 18:43:27 +0000 UTCEasy sell for me. The preview riffs were good and the movie looks watchable on its own. A couple of the characters were immediately easy to like. Sign me up.
