For writer/director Tyler Amm, the third time really is the charm. His latest horror/comedy is a certifiable blast of gut-busting humor and horror. Butcher the Bakers crawls out from the stickier side...
Disfigurement! Death! Dastardly charges of electricity! So this is why the lights went out last night, by golly! This is why scientists – no matter how large or small their egos are – should NEVER exp...
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time just might save your life. Martel "Too Sweet" Gordone (Leon Isaac Kennedy) has an axe to grind. If he has to do it against the skulls of the two bikers who k...
Lord Marmion of Fontenaye would be proud. His quote from Sir Walter Scott's long romantic poem about tangled webs woven in the act of deception fits perfectly here with Shannon Alexander's drug-dealin...
All we wanted was a bigger and healthier tomato, what we got was a ripe parody that paved the way for such comedy classics like Airplane! and all the other beloved and relatively tasteless gag-filled...
Half-man, half-sea serpent; all thrashing rubber! Filmmaker Harry Essex is at it once again. Yes, the writer of Creature from the Black Lagoon and It Came from Outer Space is once again striking fear...
I’m not sure anyone should hold a gun to the back of Sid Haig’s legendary bald head. There’s always Hell to pay later. Thankfully, the lasers in The Aftermath are not set to stun. Long neglected, it i...

His fingers have been eaten away. He will no longer be able to use them. Well, that sounds like a challenge to me! Game on! Long live the Texas-based American Genre Film Archive as, once again, they m...
Think you’ve seen Nicolas Cage unhinged in a movie before? Think again. A young mother parks her SUV on some railroad tracks. Her child is in the backseat. She gets out of the car as the crossing guar...
Bad acting, bad sex, and organic tea. Count me in! What more could five loose women on the run from a prison want on the long and winding road back to the real world? Violent hippies with awesome mous...
Tsunamis. Hurricanes. Firenados? Well, alrighty then. This is the largely uninspired world of Geostorm , a movie that phones in more than just a series of sad performances all trapped within the pages...
A killer cult classic gets cleaned up for its HD debut! And, no, I am not clowning around. Heh heh. Written and directed by Mark Rosman ( The Blue Yonder ), The House on Sorority Row is a slasher film...
Don Johnson has A Boy and His Dog long before there was any idea of Sonny Crockett. It’s only fair then, in those pre- Miami Vice days, that Philip Michael Thomas had an exploitative cult hit under hi...
