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.
If the opening moments of Kill, Baby, Kill aren’t enough to set you on edge, then I suppose nothing else in Mario Bava’s bloody good movie will either. Move along, kid. There’s literally nothing for YOU to see here if you remain unaffected by its suspense. This film, celebrated immediately upon its release ...
I mean, truly there are 3 stars in this plastic-wrapped corpse collection of a whodunnit if only for the vibrant crash-zoom opening which features Edwige Fenech dancing in her golden bra as if at a European Go-Go with a vibrant energy few women can match ...

Sky Captain And The World of Tomorrow remains an absolute joy ride through pure imagination. It is - by design - retro in feeling, high on nostalgia, pulpy in its comic book fantasy, and - thanks to Shout! Factory - now hitting its stride on home video thanks to this 4K treatment. It seems the times ...
The Long Kiss Goodnight, the critically-panned 1996 American action thriller film co-produced and directed by Renny Harlin and written by Shane Black, has finally arrived on 4K thanks to the fine efforts of Arrow Video. This brand new 4K restoration has been minted from the original 35mm ...
Once upon a time ago, Pam Grier – with her name proudly resting ABOVE the titles – could sell a movie. Hell, she WAS the movie. What a powerful time in movie history that was; an African-American woman selling an action flick. Such is the case with William Girdler's Sheba, Baby, ...
