Nipples. Why’d it have to be nipples? From the very beginning of this Italian sexploitation-cannibal flick, nipples are the target. They don’t stop being one either. Of course, that’s after a flaccid penis has been hacked off and fed to a bunch of cannibals. Nom nom nom. ...

Bigheaded mutant babies that kill? Forget the toys and balloons. We need guns! Filmmaker Larry Cohen is one hell of a writer. Sure, at the height of his career, he was crafting low budget exploitation tales but, for the most part, his work was ...

It. Has. Arrived. Science Fiction comic book comedies rarely get this good. Can a plant also be a boyfriend? If the girl is a vegetarian, then yes. Over the top. Absurd. And EXACTLY what I want in a Swamp Thing movie. This is indeed The Return of Swamp Thing and it arrives ...

Kiddos, when it comes to moviemaking, films RARELY get this ambitious. Primal Scream is what happens when Dashiell Hammett and Arthur C. Clarke get together, smoke a little weed, and decide to make a movie. Outside of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, there is ...

Not everyone can fend off a rapist with a car cigarette lighter. Kat (Roxanna Michaels), as in Pussy, and Dollarhide (Rhonda Wallace) can, though, and, in this chicks-in-chains flick, it’s moments like that makes this unrated grindhouse flick a total gutter-dwelling keeper of a ...

Shot on video, meta as hell, and directed by Ron Bonk, Vicious Sweet is psychological terror straight from VHS Hell. The film begins with a super sexy make-out session in the woods. I mean these two lovebirds are really going at it. Tongue swapping and head rotating ...

Big guns. Big traps. Bigger worms. I absolutely love it when a franchise switches it up and still delivers a rocking affair. This is the case for Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell. Instead of the desert vistas, we get ...

Tom Selleck is one bad motherfucker. I’m just going to go ahead and throw that out there. Even when he plays an art collector, he still has the skills to smash skulls together. Forget Magnum P.I.; we already know from that show that he is. Daughters of Satan is all you ...

It begins like a bomb going off. Frantic and haphazardly edited together, two unrelated scenes – a truck barreling down the highway and a woman about to be beaten – converge to create a fast paced beginning to this Ozploitation flick. Savage Attraction (aka Hostage) is a ...

Cyborg is a prime of example of why the action flicks of yesteryear kicked so much damn ass. With a charismatic performance from Jean-Claude Van Damme and more than a fair share of gnarly and over-the-top action sequences, it’s no wonder that this flick is a top request ...
