Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell (2018) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 02 May 2018; Written by Loron Hays

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 ...

Daughters of Satan (1972) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 30 April 2018; Written by Loron Hays

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 ...

Gehenna: Where Death Lives (2018) - Movie Review

Details: Published: 30 April 2018; Written by Loron Hays

Saipan. Google it. The place is a dream. The ocean is the lightest color of blue and the island is a beautiful oasis of sun-drenched highs. Off the coastline of Japan, this place is a paradise for those who don’t realize the secrets its trappings hide. And the five fools headlining this ...

Savage Attraction (1983) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 29 April 2018; Written by Loron Hays

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 ...

Shakma (1990) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 28 April 2018; Written by Loron Hays

The study of human aggression goes astray when the experimenting turns toward a primate. At least that is what we are led to believe. Poor Shakma. The biggest baboon in the room just got spinal tapped and he’s not too happy about it. In fact, this damn primate ...

Mermaids (1990) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 28 April 2018; Written by Loron Hays

Because you don’t mess with Cher. Just ask director Lasse Hallström or Frank Oz, who was first originally hired to take over the reigns from Hallström before he, too, was booted. And then there is Emily Lloyd. Poor Lloyd got dropped so suddenly (due to Cher’s whim about ...

Doctor Detroit (1983) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 28 April 2018; Written by Loron Hays

ETA to splashdown in 2 seconds! With those words, after an innocent night of drugs and partying with a pimp and some ladies of the night, one supreme geek finds his inner super pimp and becomes a demented agent of change named Doctor Detroit. ...

House on Elm Lake - Movie Review

Details: Published: 27 April 2018; Written by Frank Wilkins

To this day, there remains something insanely special about director Brian De Palma’s Carrie. It is based on the once-discarded novel by Stephen King, but was painstakingly adapted for the screen by Lawrence D. Cohen. Cohen got everything about King’s first novel right ...

The Boneyard (1991) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 26 April 2018; Written by Loron Hays

Get forklifted, baby! Poodle zombies are on the loose! It’s the damn giggling that always gets me. Mummified children brought to life on a fog-drenched night be terrifying enough for some people, but when they fucking snicker in high-pitched delight as they approach ...
