Sonny Boy is, thankfully, a relatively unknown movie. I say thankfully because if more people knew about director Robert Martin Carrol’s screwed up flick, there would be hell to pay when it came to morality codes and such things as good, decent taste. Few people ...

When a young couple decides to elope and marry in Vegas, the road they take drags them straight into hell itself. Literally. Highway to Hell is an engaging and campy tale of just how far one man will go for the women he loves. There is weirdness and laughs all around him ...

Once upon a time ago, Pam Grier – with her name proudly resting ABOVE the titles – could sell a movie. Hell, she WAS the movie. What a powerful time in movie history that was; an African-American woman selling an action flick. Such is the case with William Girdler's ...

Directed by Edward Cahn (It! The Terror from Beyond Space and all those Our Gang shorts), Curse of the Faceless Man, like much of his science fiction-minded American International Pictures output, has moments of terror that can't be dismissed. His first film did inspire ...

Vincent Price. To put it mildly, there is no other actor alive today that can match the sheer weight of his importance in the horror genre. No one. Price, good or bad, was an absolute master at the macabre (in an entertaining way) and his involvement in any film ...

Confession time, children! Gather around. Closer, please. I'm going to whisper this to you before I spend an entire review proclaiming why. Here goes: I fucking love Bob Clark. From Porky's to A Christmas Story, the writer/director has a well-known penchant for comedy ...

With lines like "that's strange, my dad's battleaxe is missing" and a copious amount of well-managed gore and humor, there's no denying that The Mutilator is EXACTLY what any true fan of horror could ever want in a flick. It even has a super-stylized Springsteen wannabe ...

Ugly, wildly unique and completely ridiculous in all its cheesy glory, Pieces, “directed” by Spanish filmmaker Juan Piquer Simon (Slugs: The Movie), is an exploitation slasher film that is as disturbing as it is obvious. The dialogue is of an Ed Wood quality and the edits are as ...

Fans of mad scientist flicks rejoice! The Back Sleep has arrived to cradle us in our darkest moments of fear and fury. Starring a very notable cast, this B-movie was coupled with a lot of better B-movies during its brief theatrical run but it matters not because this release – from Kino Lorber no less ...

Written by Jack Nicholson, The Trip is director Roger Corman’s statement on the whole psychedelic scene of the 1960s. It is more of an experience; however, than it is a film. Much like Head, the trippy Monkees’ movie (which is far more interesting than it is given credit ...

There is a reason that Quentin Tarantino and Neveldine/Taylor consistently make Black Mama, White Mama more than just a reference point in their filmography. The balance struck between humor and socio-political commentary is a steady one and continues to ...

Cherry Falls. It is an idyllic small town in Virginia. Tall trees and large pools of water surround it. Nothing much happens here, mind you, but its residents love the safety and security it provides. It is a place to raise a family; almost isolated from the rest of the state. And the ...

With a plump fleshy tongue planted firmly in its teeth, Frightmare is a fun and puzzling little flick hailing from 1983. This dusty horror gem is certainly not a waste of time and, as it achieves much more than it has any right to on its small budget, should be lapped up proper-like by any legitimate ...

Aligning its release with NASA’s Project Mercury accomplishments but predating man’s landing on the moon is Denmark’s laughably silly Journey to the Seventh Planet. Directed by cult producer Sidney W. Pink (Reptilicus, The Angry Red Planet) and starring John Agar and ...

There have been many adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe’s famous short story, but I have to admit that Lucio Fulci’s film is probably the most uneven of the batch. That’s not saying his take on The Black Cat isn’t without merit but, for horror fiends who really want to see ...
