It is the first film to receive an X rating solely for its violent content. I Drink Your Blood is also a masterpiece of the drive-in. Its debut on blu-ray, thanks to Grindhouse Releasing, is an import...
Melinda Clarke, who stars in Brian Yuzna’s Return of the Living Dead 3 , might just be the hottest zombie ever to grace the silver screen. She is, after all, the original living dead girl. She’s a wil...
“I’m a hungry man!” When Vestron Pictures originally released C.H.U.D. 2: Bud the C.H.U.D. back in 1988, they knew exactly the type of movie they had on their hands. And it wasn’t a horror flick. The...
Nevermind the fact that the theme song – performed by Yes’ Jon Anderson – plays something like four times throughout the movie. Please ignore the mess the film leaves as questions go unanswered. And,...
Director Eric Hyde, as made apparent by his debut short, is a filmmaker to keep an eye on. The rich mystery that is uncovered in From Ashes to Immortality is one that is not easily dismissed. Maybe it...

Fifteen years after the release of the first Harry Potter film and five years after the final film, Warner Bros plunges their hands back down the throat of the Sorting Hat and yanks out a NEW quintilo...
Bubba Ho-Tep and I have finally made up. I get it. I finally get why the movie absolutely works and why my punk-ass comments when it was originally released were so naïve. To borrow a line from from G...
