First and foremost, director Rob Cohen's latest flick does NOT rock you like a hurricane. It might, in fact, do the opposite and put your ass to sleep. Somehow the director of The Fast and The Furious, Dragonheart, xXx, and Daylight inexplicably drains the mighty ferociousness ...
Because there is life after death … if you are a zombie! Director Claudio Fragasso (Troll 2) returns the zombie lore back to basics with a tale of voodoo (Who do? You do!) and a curse that has widespread repercussions in this Italian trashterpiece of island schlock rock. With this hot and ...
When birds attack! Being pecked in the face repeatedly is no laughing matter. I once had a run-in with a chicken when I was a small boy. It’s no fun. Those dinosaur descendants will peck your eyes out if you aren’t careful. In Zombie 3, now on blu-ray thanks to ...
“It’s as if it is deliberately trying to ram us!” When it comes to farewell lines in seafaring history, there might not be a more prophetic sentence spoken… unless, of course, someone on the Titanic uttered something about needing ice for a drink mere seconds before the ...
Venice is now a dead city. No, I am not talking about “Vexit” or any other number of concerns that currently plague Italy’s beautiful city. I’m talking solely about director Bruno Mattei’s 1989 Italian science-fiction rip-off of two of the most awesomely awesome films ...

Because a life on the run is never that much fun! America loves its guns. It is possible that this film noir classic, featuring a bevy of fascinating performances, best explains why. The power they wield is an attraction that cannot be matched. Bang, bang, ...

“Darling, I’m home!” A child’s birthday should be a special occasion. Full of balloons, kazoos, and party hats, there ought to be smiles on every child in attendance…especially when the cak guye is being presented. The obligatory birthday song follows. And then, as the ...
Sickly sweet trashterpieces made for Gore-Gore Gorillas and Horror Hounds are rarely this good. We tend to like them because we laugh at them and understand the humor involved; some of us appreciate the lo-fi vibe of such DIY efforts. Others just dig the grit and ...
"You move me, Sail, you really do. You mark me the deepest," says Laura Dern as Lula to Nicolas Cage. It is a haunting moment in an equally haunting tale that features an unforgetable Willem Dafoe as an accident prone bank robber, a blonde-haired Isabella Rossellini ...
Nipples. Why’d it have to be nipples? From the very beginning of this Italian sexploitation-cannibal flick, nipples are the target. They don’t stop being one either. Of course, that’s after a flaccid penis has been hacked off and fed to a bunch of cannibals. Nom nom nom. ...
