On the one hand, UFO INVASION is a Beckettian nightmare, with twink after twink searching in vain for his buddies within the sterile interiors of the Malibu mansion: “Anybody home?!” On the other, it’s classic exploitation cinema, serving up a banquet of fresh meat (2). “ Most of the guys are here and I’d hate for you to see us accidentally naked or anything.“

Inspired by Oakley Court, Hammer’s own house of horror, the mansion is very much “part of the brand” like DeCoteau’s boys and their boxer briefs, giving the series consistent flavour: “I wanted a very similar modern castle on the hill, which is what that mansion is in the Malibu area of Los Angeles” (1). Should have saved my money, I have magazines with hotter photos that this.UFO INVASION is the last of David DeCoteau’s 14 films from the titular “address of terror”. I am sure THE 'Edgar Allan Poe' had nothing to do with this movie, contrary to the 'credits' given here, but NOT on the DVD.
1313 haunted frat movie#
If you like 10 minutes of movie stretched in to 75 minutes of repeated scenes over and over and over of eye candy with NO body hair at all and very trimmed armpit hair, acting like they are in a or maybe not even acting at all, in 1960 full size white briefs with tiny bulges, if any, rubbing their chest & arms (that's all) or 'showering' for 10 minutes with water & no soap complete with scene after repeated scene moving the water over their chest & arms, some female there then gone then there then gone, touching them erotically, but causing absolutely NO effect on the guys, shot in the same mansion as every other 1313: movie, poor editing with one guy sitting on sofa with legs crossed, then not crossed, then crossed, then not crossed in split second scene changes, THEN THIS IS ANOTHER DAVID DeCOTEAU MOVIE JUST FOR YOU. You also get a number of pleasant surprises not typically associated with this genre, like a beautiful tropical setting, a beautifully decorated house, a powerful (and fully dressed, thank you) female villain.oh, and did I mention all the hot guys in their underwear?įor a tasteful and very sexy 'haunted house' movie that doesn't skimp on the suspense, I'd really recommend 1313: Haunted Frat. You get the jump scares, the extended scenes of tension-building suspense and the humor-I was cracking up at the 'hot nerd' who kept walking around the house, trying-unsuccessfully-to get the other dudes to help him out with a written history of their frat only to find that they would much rather take showers, work out and off the effects of an eventful party the night before! Under the hand of veteran horror director David DeCoteau, "1313: Haunted Frat" delivers on the essentials of a great haunted house flick. That's why I found the movie "1313: Haunted Frat" to be not only refreshing-but downright hot! For once we get to see gorgeous young college MEN taking showers, swimming, working out and sun bathing as a strong female presence follows their every move, haunting their fraternity house (which was apparently built over the ruins of an old insane asylum) and taking control of their lives.
At the same time, as a female viewer I've never been too impressed by the haunted sorority house subgenre yep, for some reason I as a gal have never derived much benefit from seeing other women take excessive showers and run through the woods in ridiculously high heels before being hacked unceremoniously to pieces. Since becoming a horror fan, I've always gotten a kick out of 'haunted house' movies, which tend to deliver on the suspense, the mystery and the chills while sparing the nasty gore and the 'torture porn' vulgarity. Did I mention that his frat house research is done with a mere legal pad? No computer or books to backup the information he's ready to report.Īll-in-all, it's not great cinema, but you can certainly make these frat hotties a part of your "boy-candy" collection. He is versatile in his appearance (ruffled from a morning nightmare and showered without soap). Although our male lead (Freddie Roy) is cast in the geeky role (a researcher writing about the origins of the frat house), he wears it well. The only talking that happens in this pseudo-thriller is the uncovering of an explanation for why this massive, multiple room mansion (posing as a frat-house in a tropic environment) is haunted by a slinky, dark-haired vixen who doesn't do anymore than surround our hotties with her aura before she zombifies each and every one of them - luring them into "the darkness" of afterlife.
There is not much clothing to obstruct your view of these boys' bodies, although there isn't any nudity to speak of and the dialogue is kept at an absolute minimum. This is the third installment of the 1313 cult horror film series directed by David DeCoteau.
