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 ps...
The end of the summer season is upon us, Moviegoers. What better way to celebrate the last hurrah of silliness then with a mega-sized shark causing all sorts of chaos at the cinema? True, The Meg – ab...
It starts with the disappearance of Sutter Cane. A mystery unfolds in our minds as one man, locked up in an insane asylum, starts blabbering on and on about being sorry for balls and lucky shots. Poor...
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...

Always a smoke. Never a light. Except this time is different: Enter the Devil is a diamond in the rough of cheap and greasy drive-in flicks. It is to be experienced and marveled at as a stunning examp...

“What have you done to Judy?!” It begins with a godawful cover of “House of the Rising Sun” and it ends with the world’s longest (and highly preventable) head-on collision as Judy LaRue (Penthouse's o...
