BADass SINema Unearthed - Where we dig up blu-rays of the wild, weird, and wonderfully wicked world of classic grindhouse cinema. Celebrates the raw energy and unapologetic style of vintage exploitation films — from the slick swagger of Blaxploitation and the lurid allure of sexploitation to the gnarly thrills of monster mayhem and cosmic horror.
They’re gross. They’re rude. They’re back — and they’ve never looked slimier. There are bad movies, and then there are movies that feel like they crawled out of a damp VHS bargain bin at 2 a.m., clutching a melted Jolly Rancher and daring you to look away. The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987) is that ...
The Pink Panther Strikes Again finds the Clouseau series gleefully abandoning plausibility in favor of pure comic momentum—and it’s all the better for it. The film opens with former Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus escaping from an asylum, now fully unhinged and vowing revenge on the man who ...
Few things are more punk rock than Tank Girl!!! From the moment Lori Petty storms onto the screen as Rebecca Buck—aka Tank Girl, anarchist drifter and middle finger to the Water & Power (W&P) corporation—this movie announces itself as chaos with purpose. Pair her with a refitted tank ...
On again, off again. In love, out of love. Going back to school, starting a new job. Everything is fluid and everything is changing in the whimsical and lustful drama from French director Jacques Audiard.

To put it bluntly, Troll 2 isn’t just a movie; it’s a rite of passage, a cosmic joke, a Gen‑X fever dream preserved forever in the amber of cult cinema. And Vinegar Syndrome knows it . . . which is why their reissue of this cult classic is a must-own. ...
The thing about Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf is that it doesn’t just feel like a sequel—it feels like a dare. A late‑night cable dare, the kind you accepted at 1:47 a.m. in 1989 because the remote was across the room and you were too exhausted, too curious, or too spiritually compromised to change ...
Let’s get this out of the way: A Shot in the Dark is what happens when a movie trusts talent, timing, and pure comedic anarchy more than test screenings and focus groups. Directed by Blake Edwards, this thing runs on precision, patience, and the radical belief that comedy should build, not ...
From the back alleys of independent publishing, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles quickly transformed from indie-darling to 1990s mega hit and evergreen ubiquity in the blink of an eye. There is always a comic, a cartoon, tv show, action figure, t-shirt ...
Teenage Gang Debs is exactly the kind of cinematic trash‑treasure that Gen‑X latchkey kids like us used to stumble across on late‑night UHF channels when the antenna was bent and the world felt just a little bit dangerous. The American Genre Film Archive’s Blu‑ray rescue mission only confirms ...
1990’s Misery is one of the finest book to screen King adaptations of all time, in my humble opinion. While this new dearth of King adaptions continues unabated with varying degrees of success or abject failure (*cough: The Stand), no one has (as yet) touched it, or even broached remaking it ...
