The old school blade of horror and suspense gets sharpened in heavy metal rocker-turned-filmmaker Rob Zombie’s The Lords of Salem . While it was much maligned by critics upon its initial release, the...
As far as exploitation cinema goes, Hells Angels on Wheels is actually a solid offering of two-wheeled mayhem in the years before Easy Rider . It was originally filmed when people and headline news we...
Sharknado is a magnificent joke; a really, really splendid joke of a bad movie. Wait, your brain says, if it’s a joke then how is it worthy of all those stars? How can it be considered perfect? Becaus...
