This is the type of independent horror film where few got paid. It's fun and tedious and is worth remembering solely for the kill scenes and the fresh-looking gore effects. You see, that's what happens when a film gets made and then re-made again. It barely makes sense, but does ...

Donald “Donny” Kohler (Dan Grimaldi) might be a bit touched in the head, but he has a fantastic collection of life-sized adult dolls. They are nude, attractive, and, much like a fine brisket, a bit crispy on the outer skin. Blackened to perfection by the flamethrower he’s swiped ...

Keep that foot on the gas. Apparently, Vin Diesel has enough machismo left in the tank to take lead position in yet another revved-up and frenetic franchise. Xander Cage, extreme sports hero and sometimes government spy (last seen in 2002), has returned to motorcycle surf ...

Voodoo Black Exorcist is something else, man. If it sounds like it could be a rip-off to you, then your bullshit meter is working; there’s no need for a tune-up. The curious thing about this title is exactly WHAT movie it is recreating and WHERE it is. If you guessed ...

The late Bill Paxton certainly had an interesting career in movies. From Weird Science to Aliens and beyond, the characters he played were almost always left or right of center. He was a damn good character actor and, as made clear by the horror and hysterics of The Vagrant ...

Confession time, Boils and Ghouls! I grew up - even as fat as I was – wanting to be Michael Paré’s cool as a cucumber Tom Cody from Streets of Fire. Most my age wanted to be cracking shit with a bullwhip and making off, just like Indiana Jones, with golden idols and ...
