The episode of The Black Sheep covering DeepStar Six was Written, Narrated, and Edited by Lance Vlcek, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Sean S. Cunningham will always be primarily remembered for directing the original Friday the 13th, but he has taken the helm of some other movies that are worth checking out, like 1985’s The New Kids and the subject of the latest entry in our Black Sheep video series, DeepStar Six (get it Here).
Released in 1989 and often compared to its fellow ’89 release Leviathan (which has also gotten the Black Sheep treatment), DeepStar Six was scripted Geoff Miller and Lewis Abernathy – which is interesting because movies like Leviathan and DeepStar Six exist because James Cameron’s The Abyss was coming out the same year, and Abernathy and Cameron are pals. Abernathy even had an acting role in Titanic.

This big, expensive and well-produced action-suspense Sci-fi epic mostly delivers on its promise to be Aliens at the bottom of the sea. At heart it’s a 1950s pulse-pounder with a bigger monster, a zillion times the budget and a script that does everything but make us care. We appreciate the likable characters but it’s too easy to predict who will ‘get it’ next. The realism factor is not bad at all, although the undersea explorer video training sessions should have given ‘how not to crack up under stress’ more emphasis. And can’t anybody properly mind those pesky nuclear bombs?

The Horror Show (1989)
Written by: Alan Smithee, Allyn Warner, Leslie Bohem
Directed by: James Isaac, David Blyth
Cast: Lance Henriksen (Detective Lucas McCarthy), Brion James (Max Jenke), Rita Taggart (Donna McCarthy), Dedee Pfeiffer (Bonnie McCarthy), Aron Eisenberg (Scott McCarthy), Thom Bray (Peter Campbell), Matt Clark (Dr. Tower), Terry Alexander (Casey)
Some films aren’t served very well by their titles. A name is just a name, but then again, first impressions can seal the deal. I didn’t see The Horror Show until about a week ago. My cursor has been looming over it in my Netfix queue for quite some time. The title is so ambiguous, that it could be anything. The key word is anything, and I will see anything with Lance Henriksen in it. He’s become the stuff of legends. He’s one of the few character actors that have...

If there was one genre that spawned countless knock-offs (some better than the films they were imitating, others not so much) it was the slasher film. Even some films that were touted as the greats amongst the sub-genre would be still hidden in the shadows of the films they were emulating. There’s a waterfall effect to these films that start with Psycho and fall through Black Christmas onto Friday the 13th. But within the sub-genre, a splintering could be found as well, creating a mutated family hierarchy of slasherdom. Every slasher film had to find some sort of way of setting itself apart from the other, by creating some sort of different villain who was unstoppable and creative in ways that kept bodies in seats.

Imitation is the sincerest (and cheapest) form of flattery.
If there's anything that proves the success of Zombieland, it's the fact that it's getting a low-budget parody. This time, however, National Lampoon is nowhere to be found, nor are the Wayans family.
Instead it's Cheezy Flicks Productions and filmmaker Sean Skelding with a movie called Stripperland. The movie stars Ben Sheppard, Maren Mcguire, Ileana Herrin, Jamison Challeen, with cameos from Daniel Baldwin, Thom Bray, Linnea Quigley, Boyd Banks, and Troma CEO Lloyd Kaufman. Gilbert Gottfried reportedly turned down a role.
According to Wizbang Pop!, the movie sports a $300,000 budget and will be released on February 22, 2011, concurrently on DVD and 160 theaters. Stripperland is shooting in Vancouver with Baldwin reportedly uttering the line "They won’t eat me, because they have to stop and strip," which Wizbang called "the best movie line of the year" in a fit of hyperbolic exaggeration.
