DVD Reviews

“Peter! He’s alive!” With that sentence, one surgeon’s ugly truth is revealed. Killer psychotics dressed in white, yes, this thriller is a bit twisted but then what else could you expect from the team behind The Boy Who Cried Werewolf and The Snake Woman? A straight edged  ...

It. Has. Arrived. Science Fiction comic book comedies rarely get this good. Can a plant also be a boyfriend? If the girl is a vegetarian, then yes.  Over the top. Absurd. And EXACTLY what I want in a Swamp Thing movie. This is indeed The Return of Swamp Thing and it arrives ...

Kiddos, when it comes to moviemaking, films RARELY get this ambitious. Primal Scream is what happens when Dashiell Hammett and Arthur C. Clarke get together, smoke a little weed, and decide to make a movie. Outside of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, there is ...

Because Speckled Sussex’s never looked this good before.  That's why. “Hey, Betty, you better get cleaned up. That isn’t exactly perfume you are covered with.” That’s what a newly transported city dweller  ...

“It’s a beautiful world; I shall enjoy it,” says Spain’s Paul Naschy as he, playing The Devil himself, launches on a trek of mayhem across the countryside of 16th century Spain. He knows what will happen and he’s down for it; ALL of it as both virtue and vice come out from ...

Doctor Who’s John Pertwee as an actor possessed by a vampires’ cape? Sign me up! From Amicus Productions comes one of the very best anthology tales to ever appear on the terror scene. Spooky and atmospheric, The House that Dripped Blood is a classy affair ...

Not everyone can fend off a rapist with a car cigarette lighter. Kat (Roxanna Michaels), as in Pussy, and Dollarhide (Rhonda Wallace) can, though, and, in this chicks-in-chains flick, it’s moments like that makes this unrated grindhouse flick a total gutter-dwelling keeper of a ...

Motorcross Madness! Watch a bike get put in the slammer in this kid-friendly adventure that sees one boy go all the way in saving his favorite hot dog … stand ...

Shot on video, meta as hell, and directed by Ron Bonk, Vicious Sweet is psychological terror straight from VHS Hell. The film begins with a super sexy make-out session in the woods. I mean these two lovebirds are really going at it. Tongue swapping and head rotating ...

Mothertruckin' mamas in pink rigs are not to be messed with! Truck Stop Women, starring Claudia Jennings, Lieux Dressler and John Martino, might just have one of the better openings out there in B-movie land. In an oversized tub  ...

Breakdancing gets BOSS! Bernie and Chic are the best of buds. They dance around in an underground warehouse of stolen and smuggled goods and sing along (or try to) with a simple song that blasts out from the boombox. They are completely out of touch with ...

Bad kung fu. Horrible acting. Bad bikers. And gratuitous nudity. Who knew life up and down the PCH 101 could be so damn wild? ...

Big guns. Big traps. Bigger worms. I absolutely love it when a franchise switches it up and still delivers a rocking affair. This is the case for Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell. Instead of the desert vistas, we get ...

Tom Selleck is one bad motherfucker. I’m just going to go ahead and throw that out there. Even when he plays an art collector, he still has the skills to smash skulls together. Forget Magnum P.I.; we already know from that show that he is. Daughters of Satan is all you ...

It begins like a bomb going off. Frantic and haphazardly edited together, two unrelated scenes – a truck barreling down the highway and a woman about to be beaten – converge to create a fast paced beginning to this Ozploitation flick. Savage Attraction (aka Hostage) is a ...

The study of human aggression goes astray when the experimenting turns toward a primate.  At least that is what we are led to believe.  Poor Shakma.  The biggest baboon in the room just got spinal tapped and he’s not too happy about it.  In fact, this damn primate ...

ETA to splashdown in 2 seconds! With those words, after an innocent night of drugs and partying with a pimp and some ladies of the night, one supreme geek finds his inner super pimp and becomes a demented agent of change named Doctor Detroit. ...

Get forklifted, baby!  Poodle zombies are on the loose! It’s the damn giggling that always gets me. Mummified children brought to life on a fog-drenched night be terrifying enough for some people, but when they fucking snicker in high-pitched delight as they approach  ...

Cyborg is a prime of example of why the action flicks of yesteryear kicked so much damn ass. With a charismatic performance from Jean-Claude Van Damme and more than a fair share of gnarly and over-the-top action sequences, it’s no wonder that this flick is a top request  ...

So maybe 3000 birth control pills are hard to come by. Code Red; however, doesn’t have a problem supplying us with the goods thanks to its handling of this all new high definition transfer of a cult classic. ...

When bears attack. That’s a thing, right? Because that’s EXACTLY what this movie is selling. But it’s not just any bear. No. The killer at the center of this horror film is a hungry 15-foot grizzly bear that is damn deadly with his paws and its attitude. Thankfully, we have female ...

If I ever needed a ride and the driver of the car that stopped to pick my broke ass up greeted me with a casual line like “you’d complete my collection”, well, I do believe I’d start running quickly away. Fuck this and fuck you; I’m out. Blue Vengeance would have been a quick ...

“What’s the matter? Haven’t you ever seen a banana before?” With those words, one nude man greets Honey (Sarah Kennedy), who is new in town and in the apartment where Denise (Laurie Rose) has invited her to stay. You see, times are tough; the economy is in the tank ...

Jean jackets, big guns, and some backdoor action. Oh my! When the hits are this hard, it helps for them to be delivered by a woman "so fucking smooth" like this wiseass cop. Her name is Silk and she’s no joke. Her slick hair, pulled tight into a bun, tells you all you need to ...

Keep those tongues firmly in your cheeks, Horror Hounds and Gore-Gore Girls. A true cult classic is back in circulation to make sure you treat the water and all your fishing poles with respect OR ELSE! ...

Before you press play on Terror, you need to throw logic out the window.  Don't think.  Just do it. ...

Otherwise known as the world as metaphor.  When you talk about originality in cinema, you best not forget to mention filmmaker Slava Tsukerman.  Tsukerman, a soviet born artist who moved to New York City in 1973, created something unique with the release of 1982’s cult classic ...

“That’s what I call a brain freeze!” Clint Howard: the man, the myth, the legend.  Only he could bring the crazy character at the bottom of the Ice Cream Man to life and he does it with aplomb, clawing the change dumped by grubby hands into the bucket as he growls ...

“I shot a cop . . . so what!” Good citizenship.  Self-restraint.  Politeness.  Loyalty.  These four words of social graces are written on a chalkboard that four girls pass by during the pre-credits scene in Ed Wood’s penned cult classic, The Violent Years.  They are four words that ...

“I feel like I am stuck inside a low budget horror film,” says Carmine Capobianco as he stares into the camera.  He’s right, of course, he is stuck inside a low budget horror film and it is a glorious sight indeed to behold.  Disconnected might not make a whole lot of sense ...
