It's the sequel no one wanted. Go in knowing this. The opening few minutes of Brahms: The Boy II are this film’s best. Shocking and thrilling, an unsuspected home invasion rocks the idyllic world of Liza (Katie Holmes, Dawson’s Creek) and her son Jude (Christopher Convery, The Girl in the Spider’s Web). It’s a ...

Because you never know when you are going to need stick matches! While the earthquake that opens John Carpenter’s Escape from L.A. and separates the county from the rest of California might be the stuff of fiction, it is NO stretch of the truth to admit that this post-apocalyptic sequel was ...

Oh, boy. If the alternate title shown in the opening credits isn't a sign of a really bad movie, then I don't know what it is. Where do I even begin with this schlocky D-grade rip on extraterrestrial sex? If you are anything like me, you are aware of this movie for two reasons: Samantha Janus ...

Gutterballs is Canuxploitation at its filthiest. And I mean that in a good way. I mean, not many horror films can advertise death by a maniac with a bowling bag for a mask as he smothers teengagers performing 69 on each other with their own private parts. Choke on this! But this film can and ...
