Half-man, half-sea serpent; all thrashing rubber! Filmmaker Harry Essex is at it once again. Yes, the writer of Creature from the Black Lagoon and It Came from Outer Space is once again striking fear into the hearts of ecologists with his stock footage-padded warning about ...
All we wanted was a bigger and healthier tomato, what we got was a ripe parody that paved the way for such comedy classics like Airplane! and all the other beloved and relatively tasteless gag-filled comedies that populated the scene at the time of its release ...
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time just might save your life. Martel "Too Sweet" Gordone (Leon Isaac Kennedy) has an axe to grind. If he has to do it against the skulls of the two bikers who kick dust and sand up into his makeshift tent while he sleeps ...
Class of 1999 is, of course, the film that reveals the truth behind the magic of Pam Grier's glorious breasts. The scene, happening in a school hallway after she takes down two gang leaders on their motorbikes with one swift motion, is both awe inspiring and cringeworthy ...
Anarchy and hedonism! The Romantic writers, according to this fictionalized account of the creation of Shelley's Frankenstein and Polidari's The Vampyre, were a bunch of cock-gobbling druggies. This is probably true. And, as the sex is as rampant as the wild visual ...
She’s smart. She’s sexy. She’s new in town and she’s all sorts of sweet sixteen. She also likes making it with boys on sacred Native American burial grounds in the desert. What a way to get your rocks off, honey! The bad thing for the boys, though, is that they have a ...
Always pay your cab drivers, kids. That’s one lesson to take from watching Code Red’s Blu-ray release of The Apartment on the 13th Floor, a psychological horror film about a slaughterhouse worker who loses his shit one night and just snaps. Eventually, he finds it ...

This Italian-Spanish co-production is a shoddy horror film. Know that first. Panic is; however, quite interesting in its own way, weaving a tale about scientists who create something they cannot even hope to control through failed bacteria experiments, as it has more ...
Four films in, I think it is safe to say that Honey Island Swamp is getting crowded. Writer/Director Adam Green’s Hatchet series just crash-landed (and I mean that both literally and figuratively). Hitting its stride in the second and third installment, Victor Crowley, an unneeded ...
Artsy kink. This is what awaits you inside one of director Jesús "Jess" Franco best and most masterfully shot films. With Spanish-born filmmaker Jess Franco’s eerie feature, The Diabolical Dr. Z, things begin to get sexy and strange. Truthfully, there’s no going back either as ...
Holy Hatchets! The moving severed limbs of one deceased wife attacking the people who plotted her basement murder are all you need to see in order to believe in the IMPACT of Amicus Productions. Chop. Chop. Chop. ...
Even primal therapy was never this raw. Produced and directed by Don Jones, the opening montage of china dolls set to a really cheesy song that, simply put, is beyond tortuous for its audience is just about the most disquieting way to begin this lurid tale of madness and murder ...
When this film was originally released NINE YEARS AGO, we really wanted writer/director Sam Raimi to be back in the business of scaring the pants off of us and making us howl with laughter. We got exactly what we wanted with Drag Me to Hell even if Raimi remained relatively ...
While it is way too slick in comparison to the first two Texas Chainsaw Massacre films, New Line Cinema’s rebranding of the series – as confusing as that opening scrawl is – remains of interest because, originally set to be released as the 1980s came to a close, this film would ...
