Ten films. 15 discs. It previously seemed impossible. Considering the myriad of copyright owners, the directors involved, and all the producers in the franchise’s checkered and somewhat spotty past, a...
According to Warner Bros, the “scream” always rises to the top and, with release of this 6-disc set, the evil has arrived. Or was it always here? Warner Bros unleashes The Exorcist: The Complete Antho...
The creative wizards over at Laika, who previously brought you Coraline and Paranorman , have waved their wands and – POOF! – done it again. The Boxtrolls is another morbidly funny entry in their 3D s...
In cine-massacre history, there are few films that compare to the in-the-gut feeling Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre leaves you with. Every imperfection in this low-budget Slasher works in t...
In my younger and more vulnerable years, I mistakenly thought David Lynch’s Eraserhead was a wicked trip through a sort of nightmarish version of an industrial Wonderland without rhyme or reason. I di...

While not the massively misaligned train wreck that was TriStar’s Godzilla (circa 1998), Godzilla 2000: Millennium is admittedly a letdown. It is successful in that it returns the series to Japan and...
Drenched in brooding atmosphere, The Drop is this year’s answer to the film noir of yesterday. Bullhead ’s own Belgian director Michaël R. Roskam assembles a talented cast to guide us through the dark...
What a sad, sad story of one man’s tragic revenge. Another viewing of Stan Winston’s Pumpkinhead , newly remastered and released from Scream Factory, confirms this for me. This cult classic and its fo...
Growing up, I never realized that the Toho-helmed Godzilla flicks of the 1970s really had a lot in common with the Roger Moore era of James Bond. Godzilla vs. Megalon , released last month on blu-ray...
