The phone rings. You answer. “I like you better without the robe. Take it off.” Oh, snap. Someone is looking right at you. Shit. This is the territory of one of John Carpenter's most disturbing and psychologically bent horror movies. The things that go on in our ...

Supergirl is not a great movie. But something AWESOME happens when you watch it repeatedly. The damn thing clicks. This is what happened to me while moving into my new house and it was the only blu-ray on my person. There is a magic spell that is unleashed ...

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 ...

Proving there is still some mojo left in the bottle for the Re-Animator series (or maybe it was just a desire to get the gang back together), director Brian Yuzna and star Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Herbert West return, some 13 years later, to the series that put schlock back on ...

It’s big and overweight. It has weird hair. It’s white. It eats skiers and children and, no, it’s not Donald Trump. It is, in fact, the SNOWBEAST and, if you are moving at a high rate of speed down a mountain, chances are good that he will gobble your ass up in his mouth and grind your bones into powder ...

Rabbits. They aren’t as cute as they seem. Ask any Australian and they will tell you the truth: underground mutton. In Night of the Lepus, now on blu-ray thanks to the horror hooligans over at Scream Factory, these furry critters grow and grow and grow and then they ATTACK! ...

When the Italians go dark with their westerns, there’s no room for heroes. That’s what happens in Cut-Throats Nine, a serious-minded spaghetti western that is more Tarantino than the man himself. It is disturbed, gory, and twisted as hell and it tells one hell of a story ...

The evil eye might be bad luck but so is jacking off a goat, Boils and Ghouls. Tread lightly. Welcome this version of a fleshy and fantasy-ridden Hell, mofos! It is a place where touching yourself is permitted! Woot woot! This is Rosemary’s Baby with more skin, more Satan ...

“Have you ever seen animals make love?” The question is not as innocent as it sounds. Neither is the answer. Especially when Madonna, portraying a suspected bedroom murderer, is the one asking the questions. She’s being accused of fornicating a rich man to ...

Some girls have all the luck. Nora Mae Edwards (Elizabeth Mannino), a bummed-out waitress at an all-night diner, just accepted an offer for marriage from a well-dressed dude who likes his women a little cold. Okay, so maybe she’s not so lucky, but the dude ...

Because sometimes that wild animal magnetism doesn’t stay dead. “We never have any fun with Amy. She spoils everything,” is the general consensus about one young girl. She’s a bit odd. Her parents have noticed certain things in her that cause concern ...

There is a disturbing loneliness that is central to this low budget horror flick from 1975. Its subject matter is disturbing. Its sexuality is raw. It is a movie about a vampire with no fear of crosses or garlic. And in Mexico, there is no escaping the sun. An American Vampire ...

Celebrities Tom Selleck and Roger Mosley, before they starred in Magnum P.I. together, were stuck on a different island located on a different sea. And it definitely was not as scenic as Hawaii. Well, Phyllis Davis (Sweet Sugar) was there so I guess there were definitely massive ...

It has to suck to watch a film suffer in its comprehension due to a missing reel. It almost screams of sabotage. But such is the case for A Breed Apart, now on blu-ray thanks to Shout Factory. Featuring Rutger Hauer protecting an island sanctuary and crawling nude ...

This is a movie about a mutant 8-foot-tall sheep. Let that image take root. It is both disturbing, overstuffed, and hilarious. For that reason alone, Godmonster of Indian Flants is a must-see B-movie designed especially for the cinematic freaks out there. The ground trembles ...

Bigfoot Country is certainly very scenic and so full of wildlife that it certainly becomes a spectacle. But, much life “squatching” itself, it can be a little … too quiet. The lead-off movie in this grindhouse drive-in combo seems to be suffering from the “you had to be there” syndrome. ...
