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.
While Bela Lugosi’s residency making poverty row pictures was relatively short-lived, there were a handful of solid horror titles he made that originally went ignored. The Corpse Vanishes, doubling down on the genuine weirdness of an aging couple obsessed with ...
It’s time to go back; back to the 1980’s. It was a time when the videocassette ruled everything. The sticker advising us to “Be Kind, Rewind” was stuck to every case. Sometimes, we did and other times, well, we were kind of in a hurry to get the damn thing back to the video ...
Nail guns and cyborgs are always a deadly combination. Ouch. Toward the end of the 1990s, there were a slew of disaster pictures concerning everything from the end of the freakin’ world to computers losing their shit. It seemed that everyone wanted to weigh in on Y2K. Off-screen ...
It was the first movie I ever saw in 3-D. Friggin’ SpaceVision as I recall. For that reason and others (involving the sheer joy of the flick), I freakin’ love director Lamont Johnson’s Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. LOVE IT. To me, it is Canuxploitation ...

A Tree of Terror! Americans in peril! Radioactive typhoons! Jungle Witchcraft! From Hell It Came promises and delivers a total atomic age … bomb. No wonder then that this film was the last monster picture to be created by the Milner Bros. There’s no coming back from ...
"I love this game, Moonpie. I love it." A dark arena fills the picture. Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor fills our ears as two teams enter the rink. The teams are Houston and Madrid and the game they are about to play is called Rollerball, a violent sport centered ...
This film might kill you. Honestly, truer words have seldom been spoken. The banging window. The knocking on the door. Don’t investigate it, Jenni (Peggy Webber), just leave it alone. Webber could be your plainspoken Auntie, folks, and you definitely don’t want anything ...
Remember that time when famed Italian director Mario Bava co-directed a wacky tale of science fiction terror about a Mayan blob that tormented some researchers in Mexico? What’s that? You don’t remember Caltiki, the Immortal Monster or the pool of gold- ...
