When this film was originally released NINE YEARS AGO, we really wanted writer/director Sam Raimi to be back in the business of scaring the pants off of us and making us howl with laughter. We got exactly what we wanted with Drag Me to Hell even if Raimi remained relatively ...

While it is way too slick in comparison to the first two Texas Chainsaw Massacre films, New Line Cinema’s rebranding of the series – as confusing as that opening scrawl is – remains of interest because, originally set to be released as the 1980s came to a close, this film would ...

Truthfully, New Wave would be nothing without certain bands. When I say DEVO you say what, ghouls and boils? The outfits? The music? Or is it the realization that Mark Mothersbaugh, DEVO’s lead singer and untiring Hollywood composer, is a certified genius? Because Mothersbaugh ...

When in the jungle, it would be wise of happily married (and still sexually active) couples to actually keep the noises of their lovemaking down. It might attract all kinds of beasts once thought extinct…like the brontosaurus family at the center of Baby: Secret of ...

Picture it: composer Vic Mizzy, writer Robert Bloch (Psycho), director William Castle, actress Barbara Stanwyck and actor Robert Taylor; all together in the same film. Already I’m in love with this thriller from 1964. William Castle’s The Night Stalker is packed with a million ...

It begins with the longest piss ever. And it ends with a stuffed cat floating in a Florida swamp. Everything in between this trippy story about two hippy chicks hitching a ride is both sexy and surreal. There is a bizarre atmosphere surrounding this feature and it practically ...

With this film, the mythos of The Gate closed for good. I love forced perspective but, man, this one is bit of a letdown. Directed by Tibor Takács, Gate II is a film that lives in the shadows of its gloriously entertaining predecessor. It has big shoes to fill and, unfortunately, it can’t ...

The Sect (also known as The Devil’s Daughter) proves that schoolteachers (of which I am one) probably shouldn’t be armed with a gun, let alone drive a car. Weird shit happens to us. The misadventure contained within The Sect, though, takes the cake thanks to a ...
