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 exa...

Dear Mr. John Hughes, This love letter is long overdue. I know that now. But something, not even on the news of your death in 2009, would let me compose it until now. I guess I needed time. Or maturat...

Even primal therapy was never this raw. Produced and directed by Don Jones, the opening montage of china dolls set to a really cheesy song that, simply put, is beyond tortuous for its audience is just...

Holy Hatchets! The moving severed limbs of one deceased wife attacking the people who plotted her basement murder are all you need to see in order to believe in the IMPACT of Amicus Productions. Chop....

Artsy kink. This is what awaits you inside one of director Jesús "Jess" Franco best and most masterfully shot films. With Spanish-born filmmaker Jess Franco’s eerie feature, The Diabolical Dr. Z, thin...

Four films in, I think it is safe to say that Honey Island Swamp is getting crowded. Writer/Director Adam Green’s Hatchet series just crash-landed (and I mean that both literally and figuratively). Hi...

German writer David Safier’s book, Happy Family , serves as the basis for this largely unsuccessful animated kids movie. Okay, okay, so the team of three bats are sort of funny in a very limited way b...

The Elseworld has arrived, DC fans! There is a shadow that stalks the corners of the alleyways in Gotham City. Another one – separate but just as severe – darkens the very top of roofs. His shadow loo...

Mutant cats, sabertooth rats, and gold lamé outfits! Nothing good can ever come from an evil that’s been buried for over 2000 years. That, my friends, is something that you can take to the bank. But w...

Always pay your cab drivers, kids. That’s one lesson to take from watching Code Red’s Blu-ray release of The Apartment on the 13th Floor, a psychological horror film about a slaughterhouse worker who...

She’s smart. She’s sexy. She’s new in town and she’s all sorts of sweet sixteen. She also likes making it with boys on sacred Native American burial grounds in the desert. What a way to get your rocks...

Anarchy and hedonism! The Romantic writers, according to this fictionalized account of the creation of Shelley' s Frankenstein and Polidari's The Vampyre , were a bunch of cock-gobbling druggies. This...

Imagine it. Close your eyes and set the scene. You are alone on the highway. Maybe this is a highway through a glorious city of neon lights. Maybe it is a desert highway with only dunes and starry ski...

Class of 1999 is, of course, the film that reveals the truth behind the magic of Pam Grier's glorious breasts. The scene, happening in a school hallway after she takes down two gang leaders on their m...
