Director Massimo Dallamano (What Have They Done to Solange?) goes full steam ahead on the whole police procedural effort with his follow-up to the opening bell in his What Have They Done trilogy of films. He never finished the third film in the proposed series ...

The balls! Why’d it have to be in the balls?! With all the hanky panky bouncing around in this sin on skin flick, it seems appropriate that Giallo in Venice begins with an unknown killer striking one poor son of a bitch right in the balls with a sharp knife. OUCH! What follows ...

Films like William Castle's are sorely missed these days. Especially when the object of the terror winds its way into a movie theater. The Tingler is in the audience! What fun! Highlighted by a crazy scene in which a mute woman is targeted and nearly tortured in her own ...

This release from Synapse Films of Suspiria is a work of pure art. It is also important and impactful, belonging in a time capsule AND in your collection of horror titles. It is, hands down, my pick for the best blu-ray release of the year. With only 6000 units produced ...

It begins with a whole lot of screaming and that's exactly how it ends, too. Strait-Jacket is one tense flick. That's what happens when Joan Crawford is allowed to become all sorts of unhinged with an axe in her hand. ...

Hot rods! Heatwaves! Voodoo dolls! Fish Creatures! Nubile babes! And beach parties galore! And it is all set to the wickedly fresh tunes of The Del-Aires. Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, if The Horror of Party Beach isn’t the best campy cult flick to ever hit the sandy shores ...

Get the beer ready. You’re going to need it for this goofy (and gross!) after-birth of a horror flick. The Unborn is a horror film allowed to go full-on gonzo with its killer baby motif as Brook Adams (Invasion of the Body Snatchers) discovers that the child growing inside of her is actually a ...

Super tongue strikes again! Bob Clark’s Black Christmas is a masterpiece of horror (and humor) that you truly can deck the halls with. There’s no other way to put it. Oh, the print critics had a field day punting it around at the time of its release, but the joke is on them ...

The basement. It is the place of unspeakable horror: thrills, spills, kills, and chills. Sometimes ghosts reside there. Sometimes monsters. It is a place of long hidden secrets. No daylight, only fright. Regardless of its purpose for providing safety from storms and such ...

…in which Canada makes its very first wide-release horror movie. Wait. What?! It’s true. It wasn’t until the early 1960s that our polite friends up north decided to tingle their spines with the psychological art-house 3D terror of director Julian Roffman’s The Mask (AKA ...

Opening with the familiar notes of Glen Miller’s “In the Mood”, Zone Troopers is a fresh take on the clichéd WW2 war movie with its combination of American soldiers, Nazis, and aliens. Charles Brand (Puppet Master) strikes again, right? Seriously. Once you climb inside this supersonic ship ...

This is homegrown horror, my friends. As loopy as it is, The House of the Dead (originally released as Alien Zone) can’t be knocked for being inauthentic. This Amicus-like horror anthology – connected by one main storyline as one man, having an affair, gets dropped off ...

James Cameron's first movie as a director isn’t very good. Even by B-movie standards Piranha II: The Spawning leaves much to be desired. The film, being a sequel to Roger Corman and Joe Dante’s successful flick, should have been wilder, funnier, and a bit more on point in ...
