Director William Lustig (Maniac Cop), the current CEO of Blue Underground, has FINALLY gotten around to giving his own cult classic the deluxe treatment. It’s about damn time, too. This film, grisly and grim, is quite the achievement when it comes to low budget ...

Hung upside down. Swinging from the rafters of a barn. It's a hell of a way to go. Especially when stripped of your clothing. The killer running loose here - with a stocking over his face - is seriously messed up. ...

Director Dante Tomaselli is a master at painting striking pictures with which we can lose our minds to. His films are often dressed in heavy themes of Catholicism and, due to his own nightmares as a child, are damn impactful with striking visuals and downright spooky ...

Lunatic on campus! It’s for a confessional, kiddos. I think Scream is overrated. Blasphemous, I know, but there it is: the ugly truth I keep hidden from public eye. Having said that, let me also say that if it wasn’t for Scream then ...

You can tell EXACTLY what kind of bonkers film this is going to be by the wacky opening credits as a blonde, eager to strip for writer/director Edward D. Wood, Jr’s 16mm camera, takes her lipstick and starts coloring her nipples with it. Her ass follows. Soon her hairy ...

A baptism of blood. For about the first 20 minutes of The Satanic Rites of Dracula, we are witness to the sacrifice of a nubile young lady. She topless and it is shown – which is apparently a first for mainstream cinema. A chicken is killed. Blood is spilled on the ...

A shell of a building. An empty room. And a line of monitors all tuned in to the same dead channel: a close-up of a corpse. It is the face of Don Luigi Costa, a religious man who gave up his vows after his horrible diagnosis. How bizarre! How eerie! How utterly unusual! What ...

I hate cats. I have an old joke that I use in the classroom. First day stuff, so students know where I stand on the issue of those nasty fur balls. It goes like this: “Rough start to the day. I ran over a cat on the way to work. (Pause.) Yeah, I had to cross two lanes of traffic ...

It’s a damn funny thing what earthquakes can unleash. I remember feeling the ones here in Kansas that all the fracking in Oklahoma caused. There was a shift in my mood. I was on edge, just waiting for something else to happen. Things were weird for about 30 minutes ...
