Because, you know, it takes a village FULL of idiots to help make and then TAKE a movie away from John Carpenter WHILE he's editing it. John Carpenter's Village of the Damned is due for some appreciation. While no one can argue that Carpenter's best output ...

Sssssss is a magnificent B-movie whose appreciation starts with the fact that you actually have to hiss its title. It is a mad scientist movie about snakes; real snakes mind you. I can’t stress that aspect enough. While it might be fun enough for some to watch Battlestar ...

The Zero Boys is a forgotten entry in the horror genre. While it has the abandoned cabin in the woods and a group of horny teenagers out looking for a good evening of fun, The Zero Boys throws together several different genres and winds up creating a blended atmosphere ...

Written and directed by Larry Cohen (The Stuff), Black Caesar is essentially a remake of 1931’s Little Caesar with Edward G. Robinson. To its credit; however, Cohen’s film has enough stylized action and Harlem locale in it to make it stand out and far, far apart from the ...

Barry Shear's Across 110th Street remains a hard-hitting look at racial violence in the streets of New York City. Loaded with hundreds of F-bombs, there's no denying its visceral power and, while the film gets lumped in with a lot of other Blaxploitation flicks from the era, the ...
