Beat Street Breakdown, RUUUUUAHHHH!!! Like it or leave it, Beat Street is back. This is the film which for many, including the entire country of Germany, brought breakdancing out of the shadows, off the cardboard, and into everyone’s life ...

Aaaaannnnnnd this is why boys should not fall in love with demon brides. Human sacrifices. Summoning ancient Gods. And hookers giving birth to mutant monsters. If demented killings with dildos and fan blades is your cup of homebrewed tea, then Call Girl of Cthulhu is ...

Bigfoot Country is certainly very scenic and so full of wildlife that it certainly becomes a spectacle. But, much life “squatching” itself, it can be a little … too quiet. The lead-off movie in this grindhouse drive-in combo seems to be suffering from the “you had to be there” syndrome. ...

You can’t touch this! Funny, charming, and definitely loaded with better moves than you’ve ever seen before, Breakin’ and its immediate sequel, Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, find their way onto a sparkling and crisp 2fer blu-ray release from Shout Factory. Because dance fighting ...

This movie is proof that downed US F-111 bombers and curious little boys do not mix. Make no mistake about it, the MVD Rewind Collection absolutely saves this film from its VHS dustbin obscurity. The cover art – featuring a “Be Kind Rewind” sticker on the front – is all sorts ...

Big hair. Shoulder pads. Casual sex. And Andrew Dice Clay. Anyone else miss the 1980s? I mean, who’d have thought the words “safe” and “sex” would ever appear in the same sentence? ...

“What have you done to Judy?!” It begins with a godawful cover of “House of the Rising Sun” and it ends with the world’s longest (and highly preventable) head-on collision as Judy LaRue (Penthouse's own Patty Mullen) and her fiancee are ...

Because dreamers can also be healers. Otherworldy. That is one word that best describes the stark black-and-white opening of The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey. In it, we are thrust into a world that is both disturbing and deadly ...

Always a smoke. Never a light. Except this time is different: Enter the Devil is a diamond in the rough of cheap and greasy drive-in flicks. It is to be experienced and marveled at as a stunning example of effective and shocking regional thrillers. And it still works ...

To the sea! To the sea! It is what Tom Burlinson commands as windsurfer Stewart “PC” Simpson in director Vincent Monton’s romantic comedy, Windrider. This Australian film is as fun as the buggy Simpson drives to work. I don’t know what it is about Australia’s ...

Poor Barbara. Barbara. Barbara. Barbara. They truly are coming to get you, Barbara. In what might go down as one of the most gruesome (and serious) horror deaths of the early 2000s, this poor woman is strung up nude and slashed repeatedly as she is lowered ...

“What I did tonight, I did for my family.” Print critics, back in the day, might have kicked its ass but, damn, people STILL love the characters in the highly-quotable Lionheart. It is, as far as Jean-Claude Van Damme is concerned, a very important film as it proved that he could ...

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 ...

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 ...
