Ridiculous. Funny. And now on blu-ray thanks to Scream Factory! Cheap and cheesy, Alien Predators, originally released on VHS as The Falling, was one of my many go-to flicks at the video store back in the day. Oh, to be held in the arms of the lovely Lynn-Holly Johnson ...

It’s big and overweight. It has weird hair. It’s white. It eats skiers and children and, no, it’s not Donald Trump. It is, in fact, the SNOWBEAST and, if you are moving at a high rate of speed down a mountain, chances are good that he will gobble your ass up in his mouth and grind your bones into powder ...

Time to sleep! Making its blu-ray debut is a retrograde schlock fest, The Sleeper, that gets quite a number of horror elements right in its 90-minutes. It is a film that embraces the ABSOLUTE Disturbing as one man, with milky-blue eyes and one hell of sick whisper, stalks the halls and ...

A decade is a long time to wait. But, sometimes, it pays off. That's the case here with The Strangers: Prey at Night. The same steady pace. The same unwinding feel. And, oh, the same horror. Strangers: Prey at Night is as unsettling as the original film, making it a worthy ...

Any film that credits Orson Welles as Magic Consultant must be, at the very least, viewed once in a person’s life. Even if the film is a big pile of stinky poop. Horror film or cult comedy? You decide. The film is not successful at either and yet it continues to exist and, as you’d ...

Who knew that Bigfoot was an overgrown peeping Tom? Someone did because, in the fully restored version of Abominable, fans get to see that hairy bastard spy on a showering girl and then, as she comes near the window to close it, witness him reach right in, pull ...

In which a schlocky cult classic - complete with beauty, brawn, and brains - is REBORN! Time to dance your fear away, fight in a dusty graveyard, and sharpen those badass blades of fury. Just know this about that long missing deleted scene: it isn’t included and is likely gone ...

Paul Verhoeven does not make bad films. Argue with me all you want to about the massive raspberry that you claim is Showgirls and I will defend it to my last breath. It is everything that it is BY DESIGN. Verhoeven, the Dutch filmmaker that gave us RoboCop, Total Recall ...

First and foremost, director Rob Cohen's latest flick does NOT rock you like a hurricane. It might, in fact, do the opposite and put your ass to sleep. Somehow the director of The Fast and The Furious, Dragonheart, xXx, and Daylight inexplicably drains the mighty ferociousness ...

Because there is life after death … if you are a zombie! Director Claudio Fragasso (Troll 2) returns the zombie lore back to basics with a tale of voodoo (Who do? You do!) and a curse that has widespread repercussions in this Italian trashterpiece of island schlock rock. With this hot and ...
