DVD/Blu-ray Reviews

Campy. Hard. Serious. Weird. Whatever word you use to describe your interpretation of this benchmark television show, just know that you aren’t wrong. The Outer Limits, for a large portion of us, continues to be EVERYTHING.  The Twilight Zone, as awesome as ...

“After life. After death. The madness begins.” It is the poor delivery of that opening line that seals the deal in this shot-on-video ultra trashy flick. The Soultangler, directed by Pat Bishow, is the real deal when it comes to super sticky SINema from the other side of the aisle. Thankfully, we have ...

Dolls, why’d it have to be dolls? At seventeen minutes into this thriller, we get to see an investigator – already at a loss for the murders happening – stumble into a red room that is full of some of the most disturbing dolls you have ever seen. Up close in one that is dressed ...

...

This is a film in which a rollercoaster becomes an interrogation scene.  Effectively shot and all sorts of dangerous, Enigma Rosso has arrived.  Ah, the student body. A little less noise, girls. Keep it down. Keep. It. Down. ...

Rob Zombie’s “ragged they come and the ragged they kill” opening line of his own take on Superbeast scored big numbers for him back in 1998. Hell, it still does to this day; the song is now regarded as one of his best. His homage to this wacky B-movie, now making its ...

This is the story of one teenager who has an itch that, because of what he has become, he won’t ever stop itching. Full Moon High, now on blu-ray thanks to Scream Factory, might never live up to its potential but it certainly knows how to have a howling good time while it runs ...

Not all alien encounters will be friendly.  That’s the assertion made in The Dark, a wildly uneven production that is underlined by a super paranoid-causing soundtrack featuring the spookiest use of marimbas to date AND haunting voices that repeatedly whisper and hiss ...

While director Luc Besson is often times all about the flash and dazzle of the movies, it wasn’t always that way.  Think of 1988’s The Big Blue or Léon: The Professional from 1994.  He’s kind of been all over the genre scene and usually – in spite of the critical condemnation ...

All praise goes to writer/director Australia’s Shane Abbess (Gabriel, Infini).  Remember that name, genre fans.  It’s going to mean something to you (if it doesn’t already) because what this artist has assembled with his latest release is going to stand the test of time. The Osiris ...

Swing, batter batter, swing.  Thwack!  And just like that, poor Frosty’s head is knocked clean off, splattering snow and ice everywhere.  That opening scene is a microcosmic hint at the demented and underage shenanigans headed your way in Better Watch Out, a ...

Are your neighbors really who they say they are?  That question – thanks to an unhealthy amount of horror films at an early age – always comes to mind when I meet someone new.  Thankfully, I live out in the country and there’s literally no one around for miles.  But  ...

As the James Bond series started spoofing itself with Roger Moore’s prolonged stint on her majesty’s secret service, audiences were introduced to another spy to laugh at: Fred Ward as Remo Williams.  Unfortunately, his duty was short-lived, limited to just this movie ...

If the explosive opening of Deathdream, in which a young soldier meets his untimely end, doesn’t blow you out of your seat, there’s another chance nine minutes later.  While a family grieves over the unexpected news that their son won’t be returning home from the war, a ...

Before Cowboys & Aliens there was The Return. A couple of yahoo cops, dunking donuts in a beer can, find themselves in over their heads as their close encounters with people who love their cattle a little too much gets a little too close for their collective comfort ...

“Goddamn.  I feel like a crime is about to be committed.”  With those words, Bat Pussy leaps to action, changing out of her loose nightgown (after it gets caught on her neck) and into cape and cowl.  Hurray for the single take flicks out there!  She’s ready – at least her super ...
