Demonoid (1980) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 10 March 2018; Written by Loron Hays

“Cut off my hand or you die!” screams one affected member of this cast when faced with the consequences of the devil’s left hand. It is only one line of dialogue out of any other such scripted nonsense that receives a loud guffaw from the audience. This b-grade flick, full of firewalking ...

The Love Butcher (1975) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 10 March 2018; Written by Loron Hays

I never would have thought that talking to a wig could be so damn enthralling. It turns out, in this heavily misogynistic film that got considerably lighter in tone once cinematographer Don Jones was tasked to salvage the original director’s bizarre work, that wigs – no matter ...

Gringo - Movie Review

Details: Published: 09 March 2018; Written by Frank Wilkins

Gringo stars Thandie Newton, David Oyelowo, Joel Edgerton, Sharlto Copley, Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, and many others. Very rarely does such a star-studded cast come together in a single film. Even more rarely does such a star-studded cast fail so miserably to breathe ...

The Cat o' Nine Tails: Limited Edition (1971) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 08 March 2018; Written by Loron Hays

It is, of course, the thriller in which Karl Malden (On the Waterfront, A Streetcar Named Desire, Pollyanna, and One-Eyed Jacks) goes for the giallo. That’s right, even the former spokesman of American Express Travelers Checks sought solace in writer/director Dario Argento’s ...

Details: Published: 07 March 2018; Written by Loron Hays

Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler) and James Hoyt (Scott Speedman) are in for one hell of a fright night in writer/director Bryan Bertino’s stunning debut, The Strangers. Had these unfortunate victims not been home at the time that three sadistic killers came a-knocking then nothing ...

Flay (2018) - Movie Review

Details: Published: 06 March 2018; Written by Loron Hays

It begins with a montage of old photographs. Native Americans at home on the land. That’s how Flay opens its color-drained canvas of horror. Don’t get comfortable, though. Whatever stirring and romanticized ideas you have about the old west will soon be jettisoned for good ...

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 05 March 2018; Written by Loron Hays

The Avenger of the Innocent returns! There is a masterful elegance that chugs alongside this murder mystery throughout its entire journey. From beginning to end, Murder on the Orient Express is an expression of old fashioned mechanics. There really is no other ...

The Last Hunter (1980) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 05 March 2018; Written by Loron Hays

One does not need much of an explanation when a spray of bullets is delivering his or her message straight out of a deafening M60 in the humid jungle. That message is often heard loud and clear. And, in The Last Hunter (the first Euro-sleaze-and-cheese flick to tackle ...
