It’s time to go back; back to the 1980’s. It was a time when the videocassette ruled everything. The sticker advising us to “Be Kind, Rewind” was stuck to every case. Sometimes, we did and other times, well, we were kind of in a hurry to get the damn thing back to the video ...
Nail guns and cyborgs are always a deadly combination. Ouch. Toward the end of the 1990s, there were a slew of disaster pictures concerning everything from the end of the freakin’ world to computers losing their shit. It seemed that everyone wanted to weigh in on Y2K. Off-screen ...
It was the first movie I ever saw in 3-D. Friggin’ SpaceVision as I recall. For that reason and others (involving the sheer joy of the flick), I freakin’ love director Lamont Johnson’s Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. LOVE IT. To me, it is Canuxploitation ...
Burn, baby, burn! Cannon Films, man. What a run they had. From American Ninja to Delta Force and beyond, for many a teenager growing up in the 1970s and the 1980s, they were the source for high-flying action. I mean, who doesn’t love Stallone taking names and ...
"I love this game, Moonpie. I love it." A dark arena fills the picture. Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor fills our ears as two teams enter the rink. The teams are Houston and Madrid and the game they are about to play is called Rollerball, a violent sport centered ...
To this day, there remains something insanely special about director Brian De Palma’s Carrie. It is based on the once-discarded novel by Stephen King, but was painstakingly adapted for the screen by Lawrence D. Cohen. Cohen got everything about King’s first novel right ...
A Tree of Terror! Americans in peril! Radioactive typhoons! Jungle Witchcraft! From Hell It Came promises and delivers a total atomic age … bomb. No wonder then that this film was the last monster picture to be created by the Milner Bros. There’s no coming back from ...
For the longest time, the Halloween franchise has been “the toppermost of the poppermost” for me. Nothing was more frightening than the bogeyman that Michael Myers was made to be. Well, that was then and people, as they are wont to do, can change their minds ...
If the symbolism in this independent horror film doesn’t stitch the fear of the Goddess right onto your supple flesh then there’s little hope for the everlasting soul that your skin shields. Dark Waters is intense. The art-house horror in this Nunsploitation masterpiece about ...
“The genitals are the door to evil! The vagina, the uterus, the womb; the labyrinth that leads to hell; the devil’s tools!” Father, please forgive me. I have sinned and actually enjoyed a nunploitation flick last night. I know I am not supposed to (just like I know I’m not ...
In which the real monsters are revealed to be us, brothers and sisters. Welcome to Hell, motherfuckers! My friends and I often have conversations about the horror movies released during the 1990s and what is so painfully wrong with most of them. And then we get to ...
“Sometimes I dare death to try to catch me. Grab me. Ya know what I mean,” confesses a stuntman named B.J. (James Stacy). B.J., who lost his arm and leg on the left side of his body (along with his wife) after an unfortunate car crash, is just one of the many interesting ...
Being the obstinate fool that I am, I have had many run-ins with local law enforcers. I just can’t help myself. Most of them – mustached or not – have been surprisingly accommodating, using zip ties instead of handcuffs and so on. Of course, there’s always that asshole ...
About twenty minutes into The Mephisto Waltz all hell breaks loose when a costume party literally goes to the dogs. With a human mask securely fastened to its head, a black dog strolls into the room. Don’t adjust the picture. Yes, even the canines are into the devil’s work ...
Remember that time when famed Italian director Mario Bava co-directed a wacky tale of science fiction terror about a Mayan blob that tormented some researchers in Mexico? What’s that? You don’t remember Caltiki, the Immortal Monster or the pool of gold- ...
