Let’s go ahead and give the British the coveted award for best werewolf movie in quite a long while. It is much deserved. Howl, directed by make-up effects wiz Paul Hyett (The Seasoning House), is quite an effective independent feature with a rollicking cast of hairy ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Arrow Video has simply outdone themselves with the blu-ray release of the first sequel to Stuart Gordon's hit horror-comedy Re-Animator. Seriously, stop reading this RIGHT NOW and go grab a copy of Bride of Re-Animator before this limited edition release is all gone ...
It begins in the snow. In a dramatic shot, a Stetson-wearing worker discovers a thick white substance bubbling up from the ground. Giant flanks of snow pepper his old face. He approaches it silently. Carefully. He can’t resist, though, sampling this marshmallow-looking ...
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part Two continues to divide people. I guess that’s how you know you might be onto to something really side-splitting and NEW. The ONLY way you can follow a classic of the horror genre is by making its sequel a straight-up comedy....
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 ...
Death Becomes Her is, ironically enough, getting a much longer shelf life than ever expected. After suffering from abysmally dismissive reviews at the time of its release, the black comedy is now celebrated as a cult flick. And why not? It's dark and twisted; definitely ...
The odds were not in Easy Rider's favor. Coming off of Roger Corman's The Wild Angels and the Jack Nicholson-penned The Trip, Peter Fonda was digging his heels into the counterculture scene. He and wild man Dennis Hopper, driven to tell another tale of ...
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 ...
Anyone's education in cinema involves stopping for a spell in New York City. While you are there, though, be sure to not skip out on the knowledge that can be gained by watching 1970's fascinating Cotton Comes to Harlem. ...
Oliver Reed. George Kennedy. Jose Ferre. And action movie regular Brian Thompson (otherwise known as the alien bounty hunter in The X-Files). What movie could possibly bring them together? And for what reason? Other than probably being unemployed at ...
When it comes to directing1970s fantasy/adventure films, Kevin Connor is definitely one of the genre’s mad geniuses. After showing a very versatile set of skills in bringing dinosaurs back to life with aplomb in The Land that Time Forgot, he flexed hardcore alongside returning ...
Blood Bath is one of Roger Corman’s wildest endeavors. I dare suggest that the history of the movie is probably far more interesting and unpredictable than the movie itself. Well, to be exact, Blood Bath, having started its life in 1962 and finally released in 1966, is actually ...
