When the Golden Age of Horror goes off the deep end with all its pre-Hollywood Production Code perversions, the result is a long out of print masterpiece of makeup and maniacal terror. Island of Lost Souls, from 1932, is proudly released in all its unedited ...
What do bathtub toy boats and plastic helicopters have in common with a dude in a monster suit? Hint: the action takes place in Japan. That’s right. Godzilla, the mother of all mega-monster movies, is returning to run rampage through your home entertainment ...

Like The King of Rock n’ Roll himself, Baz Luhrmann’s new film, deceptively titled Elvis (more on that later), is bold, brash, and over the top. This should come as no surprise as the Moulin Rouge! director – subscriber to the Auteur Theory of filmmaking – is known for his distinctive style and ...

The first impression I get from writer/director Christos Nikou’s Apples is that it bears a strong resemblance to that of the films by fellow Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos. Blending deadpan, black comedy with a degree of tragedy, Nikou, like Lanthimos, is keen on showing the awkward ...
On its surface, Where the Crawdads Sing appears to be a rather maudlin murder mystery wrapped within the sappy folds of a modern YA romance. But a calculated look beneath its mucky veneer reveals something much more compelling. Something much deeper than even its swampy setting ...
Intelligent horror. Yes, such a thing actually exists. Granted, that’s not always what the hordes of hungry horror fans looking to fulfill their bloodlust want from the genre, but for those who like their spilled blood and severed body parts served with a touch a class, do I have a film for you! ...
D. W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation, a groundbreaking film that is quickly approaching its 100th anniversary, is still – to this day - a controversial film igniting the fear and loathing that invites the gnashing of teeth and tearing of flesh ...
One of the most highly regarded science fiction films of the 1950s; this Gordon Douglass directed cautionary tale about a small township under siege by irradiated mutant ants has influenced countless filmmakers for generations. Remember the awesome egg ...

Using the “found” footage style of The Blair Witch Project and countless movies since, Apollo 18 sets the record straight on why NASA never returned to the moon. The movie, while familiar, should thrill gritty sci-fi lovers and anyone prone to ...
As inconsequential as it is, Jeremiah Chechik’s Benny & Joon remains a charming look at one young couple’s handling of love and separation anxiety. With the opening music provided by the Scottish duo known as The Proclaimers, the mood and...

And while this is might sound like some cheap shot of exploiting the oppression that his father endured ...
