A special effects man specializing in gore who also directs low-budget, borderline-splatter horror movies.
Yes this is a terrible movie, but an entertaining bad movie nevertheless. A new type of cartoon is released from hell where toons (men wearing silly masks and costumes) can pass into the land of the living and dance and giggle while chopping up their victims with huge saws, scissors and axes. Teenagers play strip ouija while the childish sister (a porn star with huge boobs) sits upstairs with her new cartoon and the carnage begins. Among other things, one girl get her spine yanked out and her body played with like a puppet, and another gets sawed in half. Campy, silly, bad, amusing. Followed by an inferior, not as entertaining sequel with a lot of the gore replaced by cartoons.
Sorority girls initiate new members by making them stay in a haunted house that looks like a warehouse turned into a funhouse. But it turns out there is a real killer on the loose. A cliched horror story done a million times before and one would expect some humor or new twist this time, but there's nothing of the kind, except for the initiation rite involving boobs, chocolate and cream. The gore is plentiful and varied, with many different nasty gashes, face carving, head smashing, disembowelment, etc. Castro shows off his special effects but forgets to make a proper movie.
A drug-addict who let his friend die, lets his life deteriorate until his arm gets mutilated and infected from the needles. While working at a garage, drug-pushers beat him up and inject him with a killer drug that only makes him strong, paranoid and insane. So he grabs a jack-hammer and goes on a nasty massacre-rampage as more and more people visit the garage. The gore is brief and not as entertaining as you would expect, the premise and good acting by the main character is wasted, and the rest of the cast act terribly.
Slasher movie number 36590 with the exact same plot. Brother goes insane, kills family, years later comes back to finish the job. The acting is weak, the plot is dumb, and the only reason I list it here is because the gore quotient is just a little higher than usual, barely crossing the border from gory deaths to gorehounds' deaths with fake-looking head-crushes, neck slashes and disembowelments. I curse the day Scream made slasher movies hip again.
