Released by RKO Radio Pictures in 1933, director Felix E. Feist’s Deluge , a super-soaker of a destruction film, was long thought lost due to neglect. It was almost as if the film never existed. For t...
The British go prehistoric with this wild adventure. One Million Years B.C. is a special effects bonanza with a variety of creatures created by the famed Ray Harryhausen himself. Of course, none of th...
A Cure for Wellness is not recommended to be a movie you just absentmindedly waltz in and watch. Its lens is far too encompassing for that. First we have the spa-based elements to deal with. Then ther...
With stunning landscapes and a healthy dose of gore, Stake Land 2 stands tall right next to its heavily praised first outing. Not much has changed in the landscape, but the delivery is a bit more char...

There’s a solar eclipse this Friday. There’s also a visible green comet streaking across the skies. It will, in addition, also be a full moon that night. If you are a teacher, get a substitute. If you...
We’re baaaack!!!! Poltergeist III is a better idea than it is a movie. Maybe it should never have been connected to the franchise at all. But it was and – due to the sudden death of Heather O’Rourke –...
Written, directed and produced by Ken Russell, The Lair of the White Worm remains a phallic-obsessed journey through an endless barrage of serpent double-entendres by way of Bram Stoker. Russell would...
It is a dark night. The sky is pregnant with distant stars. A lone fire lights the desert canyon wall. Two Native Americans sit next to it. There is chanting. Soon, spirits are inhaled. If the opening...
A girl watches a video. A girl receives a phone call. A girl answers. A girl is told of seven days to live. A girl investigates. A girl knows not why. A girl becomes a no one. Jaqen H'ghar, you are so...
