DVD/Blu-ray Reviews

Vampire bat blood in pill form.  Taken three times a day, it guarantees a high that will leave you long in the tooth. Picture it.  A domestic scene.  A doctor, a little freaked by what he may or not have taken, confronts his young daughter.  "What the hell are these,"  ...

The films in the collection might be at random and, as a result, it might be incomplete but Shout Factory’s release of The Vincent Price Collection is truly something any fan of classic horror can celebrate with cake, decorations, and nonstop parties this Halloween season ...

Writer, director, producer Roger Corman, the celebrated King of the B-movie, has very rarely let me down as a member of his audience.  I found his book, How I Made a Hundred Movies in Hollywood and Never Lost a Dime, to be a sort of oracle guiding me across the California   ...

It. Has. Arrived. Plan 9 from Outer Space is believed to be the worst movie of all time.  It was originally made in 1959, long before the days of M. Night’s The Happening or The Last Airbender which are examples of the worst movies ever made ...

Holy shit!  Tree roots from Hell!!  Edited together in such a way to kill any sense of forward momentum, the sheer lunacy of Contamination .7 (also released as The Crawlers, Troll 3, and almost any other title imaginable) makes this release from Scream Factory  ...

“I’m the red queen.  She’s the black queen,” chants Kitty’s sister, Evelyn.  The two siblings have grown up raised by their grandfather.  The family mansion has been their playground, but the two sisters have always been fighting.  His stories have often revolved around ...

Some men should never remarry.  Alan Cunningham (Anthony Steffen, Django the Bastard), a milk-obsessed lover of ginger-haired strippers, is one of those poor, unfortunate bastards.  Don’t boo hoo him.  He’s lost his shit a long time ago.  Plus, in this insane tale of lace  ...

Originally paired at the drive-in with 1,000 Convicts and a Woman, director Martin Scorsese scored a significant victory for producer Roger Corman with Boxcar Bertha, his take on the Great Depression’s many ravages upon the downtrodden. Yes, even the great Martin ...

When Vincent Price takes to the stage, fans of the Horror genre had best take notice.  His delivery is both campy and intoxicatingly brilliant.  There is no doubt in my mind that his classicisms of stage acting would have won over any hard-hearted critic.  His presence is  ...

Soft-core and vampirism go hand in hand.  Sometimes they even skip through parks together and skinny dip in ponds on moonless nights where the babes are bountiful and the skin around the neckline so very supple.  The creators of Count Yorga, Vampire know this ...

I will submit to you that no one my age can EVER forget how The Greatest American Hero actor takes the garbage out in House, the horror comedy directed by Steve Miner.  When his hot blonde neighbor stops to chat, the side foot kicks and absent-minded shovel sweeps ...

Holy Hairspray, Freaks and Geeks, a camp classic is reborn!!! Cue the cheesy synths.  Grab the saxophone, too.  It’s time for Vanity to hose herself down in director Gil Bettman’s Never Too Young To Die.  This film is easily the best thing John Stamos has ever done ...

Grab your groins, boys.  Demented is going to leave you wincing. The rape and revenge subgenre of the b-movie market is sometimes a mixed bag.  Dipping their hands deep into those murky waters, Scream Factory has pulled out and released on sparkling blu-ray 1980’s ...

Welcome back to the Interzone. This is not a place for those unfamiliar with the lasting effects of strong narcotics and paranoia. It is a place for the sad and lonely or quite possibly the sad junkie walking around wounded in an uncaring world. He strolls ...

I understand why Mill Creek is popular with some people. They offer low-rent movies at bargain basement prices. Hell, even their deluxe treatment – warts and all – of classic 1980’s television shows are priced below average. But all those cheapo bargains come with ...
