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.
In the pre-dawn hours before John Carpenter’s Halloween was released and changed everything about horror films, there was The Redeemer: Son of Satan, a film so deliciously vile that it is worth mentioning alongside such sin condemning franchises like SAW, and, yes ...
One eye opens. The other opens. The credits roll and then the emaciated woman, putting her arms on the outside of the box she is lying on her back in, sits up. She is inside a satin lined coffin. And the scream she emits comes from the very pit of her stomach. She climbs ...
What’s in the basket? Easter Eggs? Nope. Just my not-so conjoined wart of a twin! Wanna looksee?! Basket Case, my fellow fiends and gore-gore ghouls, is the demented story of one set of twins who simply do not play by the rules of the natural order. But you already knew that and, I suspect ...

Aliens in drag serving up a hot mess of sexploitation stew? A thousand times YES! Zombies from outer space have landed and they are in search of, at least in this movie, leggy lesbian protein packs on two legs. Luckily, the earth is loaded with these “easy” targets – especially ...

It begins with the longest piss ever. And it ends with a stuffed cat floating in a Florida swamp. Everything in between this trippy story about two hippy chicks hitching a ride is both sexy and surreal. There is a bizarre atmosphere surrounding this feature and it practically ...
Picture it: composer Vic Mizzy, writer Robert Bloch (Psycho), director William Castle, actress Barbara Stanwyck and actor Robert Taylor; all together in the same film. Already I’m in love with this thriller from 1964. William Castle’s The Night Stalker is packed with a million ...
