One eye opens. The other opens. The credits roll and then the emaciated woman, putting her arms on the outside of the box she is lying on her back in, sits up. She is inside a satin lined coffin. And the scream she emits comes from the very pit of her stomach. She climbs ...

In the pre-dawn hours before John Carpenter’s Halloween was released and changed everything about horror films, there was The Redeemer: Son of Satan, a film so deliciously vile that it is worth mentioning alongside such sin condemning franchises like SAW, and, yes ...

One does not need much of an explanation when a spray of bullets is delivering his or her message straight out of a deafening M60 in the humid jungle. That message is often heard loud and clear. And, in The Last Hunter (the first Euro-sleaze-and-cheese flick to tackle ...

It is, of course, the thriller in which Karl Malden (On the Waterfront, A Streetcar Named Desire, Pollyanna, and One-Eyed Jacks) goes for the giallo. That’s right, even the former spokesman of American Express Travelers Checks sought solace in writer/director Dario Argento’s ...

I never would have thought that talking to a wig could be so damn enthralling. It turns out, in this heavily misogynistic film that got considerably lighter in tone once cinematographer Don Jones was tasked to salvage the original director’s bizarre work, that wigs – no matter ...

“Cut off my hand or you die!” screams one affected member of this cast when faced with the consequences of the devil’s left hand. It is only one line of dialogue out of any other such scripted nonsense that receives a loud guffaw from the audience. This b-grade flick, full of firewalking ...

Sending a scared coed flying through a bathroom door, the scaly giant-sized son of a bitch at the center of this monster flick really has it in for girls in shower stalls. Honestly, with crisp POV shots and attacking camera movements that show piercing bites on naked legs, the ...

“She’s down. Send in the ambulance.” Writer/Director Larry Cohen, you know him as the dedicated B-Movie auteur of horror and such science fiction films like Q: The Winged Serpent and It’s Alive, can always be counted on to deliver the b-movie madness. He’s simply ...

Stud alert! Stud alert! If you are hot, young, and hung then come on in! That’s the party call in this sex comedy that stars Lisa Hartman, Russell Todd, Lorna Luft, Wendy Schaal and Lynn-Holly Johnson. Critics might have panned this Spring Break-themed comedy, as outrageous ...

To this day, there remains something insanely special about director Brian De Palma’s Carrie. It is based on the once-discarded novel by Stephen King, but was painstakingly adapted for the screen by Lawrence D. Cohen. Cohen got everything about King’s first novel right ...

Decapitated chicken heads, neurotic brides, and a creepy killer who is handy at fixing cars, soaping up babes in the shower, and slitting throats. Sounds like a damn good Friday night film pairing to me. With this release from Code Red the 70’s drive-in twofer continues! ...

Describe to me the most boring movie ever. Go ahead. I will wait. Is it 90-minutes of a man staring at paint drying on a wall? Do people pass in front of that wall trying to get him to look away? Does he? No? Okay. Whatever. Sounds pretty dull, but if there happens to be a panther ...
