BADass SINema Unearthed - Blu-ray Review

It is essentially a cheaper version of Ridley Scott’s Alien, but underwater.  That’s the best description of The Rift (aka Endless Descent).  This knock-off is only one of the several underwater exploitative films that were rushed out from almost every studio – no matter  ...

When it comes to the history of horror, there are few years as important as 1942.  That was the year RKO switched gears and turned away from artists like Orson Welles.  They pulled The Magnificent Ambersons out from under his feet and went on the hunt for showmen  ...

Hilarious. That’s one word to describe the outrageous events in this cult flick.  Another words would be awful.  Put the two together and you have a recipe for immortality.  So bad it’s good!  Operating as a sequel to the 1958 classic with Steve McQueen, Beware! The Blob  ...

Six college students. A station wagon. An archaeological dig. And a tent. Those are the elements at play in 1983's uber-bloody Scalps. Written and directed by Fred Olen Ray (Deep Space), this effective horror flick is as minimalistic as it gets. It was filmed in mere days,  ...

Well, how neat-o is this, B-movie lovers?! Mad Max meets lasers … in 3-D! That’s the best way to describe this low-grade attempt to cash in on one of the most epic action flicks of my youth, The Road Warrior. Directed by Empire Pictures founder Charles Band (Parasite  ...

Cellblock D. That’s where the best women are. According to Makillers (aka 12 Wild Women), an ultra low budget film from director David Prior and American International Pictures, when it comes to assembling a team of ruthless killers to take down a drug-dealing human  ...

Gothic horror gets its kink on in 1962’s The Horrible Dr. Hichcock. This is one of the movies that you really have to wonder how in the hell it got made. Like ever. Like ever ever. Directed by Riccardo Freda (working as Robert Hampton), the Italian director responsible for The Ghost   ...

Beheadings! Bosoms! Blood! Welcome to the dark side of the 1950s. Made for a mere $29000 in 1959, The Monster of Piedras Blancas looks like a million bucks in high-definition in 2016. Down with the fuzz. We want clarity in our Creature Features and Olive Films absolutely  ...

Perhaps there is no other movie that best exemplifies the highs and lows of the 1980s than 1989's Road House. It's got mullets, monster trucks, martial arts, naked chicks, big hair, and a bunch of white guys beating the living shit out of each other for no real reason ...

When it comes to b-grade entertainment, there is literally NOTHING quite like 1987’s Blood Rage.  As ballsy as it is shoddy, this poorly acted slasher is in fact quite effective in is delivery of a twisted tale about twins and the psychotic mother who has the wrong son committed for murder  ...
