Barry Shear's Across 110th Street remains a hard-hitting look at racial violence in the streets of New York City. Loaded with hundreds of F-bombs, there's no denying its visceral power and, while the film gets lumped in with a lot of other Blaxploitation flicks from the era, the ...

Oliver Reed. George Kennedy. Jose Ferre. And action movie regular Brian Thompson (otherwise known as the alien bounty hunter in The X-Files). What movie could possibly bring them together? And for what reason? Other than probably being unemployed at ...

When it comes to directing1970s fantasy/adventure films, Kevin Connor is definitely one of the genre’s mad geniuses. After showing a very versatile set of skills in bringing dinosaurs back to life with aplomb in The Land that Time Forgot, he flexed hardcore alongside returning ...

Blood Bath is one of Roger Corman’s wildest endeavors. I dare suggest that the history of the movie is probably far more interesting and unpredictable than the movie itself. Well, to be exact, Blood Bath, having started its life in 1962 and finally released in 1966, is actually ...

I’m killing you…with my mind! This is the mad premise of character actor Ray Danton’s Psychic Killer. Released in 1975, the B-movie is probably still known among certain groups due to the simple fact that, despite a shocking amount of blood and a “boobalicious” ...

There are few things as terrifying to me then to be trapped on a school bus with a bunch of High School jocks. Talk about a total freak-out of testosterone, sweaty gym bags, and meat hooks. This is the territory exploited by Jeepers Creepers 2, now ...

One would have to dig clear through the classic era of Universal Monster Movies in order to find a title that is a Jeepers Creepers equivalent in tone, structure, and suspense. And that’s a good thing. Writer/director Victor Salva explores his love of classic creature features ...

Ray Harryhausen’s stop-motion work in Mysterious Island is the stuff of legend AND nightmares. Featuring memorable attacks from a gigantic crab, an oversized bee, a large prehistoric bird, and an angry snail, the fantasy kept many a young person up at night. It also ...

I freakin’ love The Alien Factor. Filmed in Baltimore, Maryland by a bunch of freaks and geeks, the schlocky film is a throwback to the classic run of 1950’s creature features and has just the right amount of humor and gore to make it worth revisiting time and time again ...

For anyone who hates on exploitation film auteur Jack Hill’s The Swinging Cheerleaders for its objectification of women – namely cheerleaders – there’s a need for a brief lesson in film and cultural history. Made during the 1970s, Hill’s movie was a very tough and very real examination of powerful ...

There is something incredibly haunting about Scott McGehee and David Siegel’s feature-length debut. Shot in black-and-white and filmed in and around the Phoenix area, Suture is a neo-film noir examination into a person’s identity. What makes a person know themselves? ...

Doctor Mordrid: Master of the Unknown is not a very good movie. Even on our pint scale of beer it earns the lowest ranking possible. It’s just lazy, lazy filmmaking on a project that, had there been a bit more effort put into its script and, well, everyone involved, could ...

Centron Corporation. You’re probably more familiar with their output then you are with their name. Housed in Lawrence, Kansas, this is the production company that supplied school districts across the United States with hundreds of educational films once viewed via film ...
