BADass SINema Unearthed - Where we dig up blu-rays of the wild, weird, and wonderfully wicked world of classic grindhouse cinema. Celebrates the raw energy and unapologetic style of vintage exploitation films — from the slick swagger of Blaxploitation and the lurid allure of sexploitation to the gnarly thrills of monster mayhem and cosmic horror.
Some films whisper their intentions, films that seduce you with craft, and then there’s Scum of the Earth!, which grabs you by the collar like a chain‑smoking uncle at a family reunion and hisses, “Kid, lemme tell you how the world really works.” This is Herschell Gordon Lewis before the gore geysers ...
There are films that influence horror, films that shape horror, and then there’s Blood Feast, which doesn’t so much “shape” anything as it kicks down the door of the American cinematic psyche wearing a butcher’s apron and a grin that says, “You paid 75 cents for this, sucker ...
“I have had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane!” Oh, we are not playing this one straight. Buckle up. When I borrowed that gloriously neutered TV edit line for the opener, you knew exactly what altitude we were flying at. This is not prestige cinema. This is cabin-pressure ...
They came from beyond the stars. They crave your blood. And they’re hungry for brains. It’s Ed Wood by way of Mel Brooks! Let’s get this out of the way: Vampire Zombies… from Space! is exactly the kind of movie that knows the word “subtle” and throws it out an ...
They’re gross. They’re rude. They’re back — and they’ve never looked slimier.

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987) is that ...
The Pink Panther Strikes Again finds the Clouseau series gleefully abandoning plausibility in favor of pure comic momentum—and it’s all the better for it. The film opens with former Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus escaping from an asylum, now fully unhinged and vowing revenge on the man who ...
Few things are more punk rock than Tank Girl!!! From the moment Lori Petty storms onto the screen as Rebecca Buck—aka Tank Girl, anarchist drifter and middle finger to the Water & Power (W&P) corporation—this movie announces itself as chaos with purpose. Pair her with a refitted tank ...
On again, off again. In love, out of love. Going back to school, starting a new job. Everything is fluid and everything is changing in the whimsical and lustful drama from French director Jacques Audiard. Capturing the residential district of Les Olympiades in beautiful black and white photography ...
To put it bluntly, Troll 2 isn’t just a movie; it’s a rite of passage, a cosmic joke, a Gen‑X fever dream preserved forever in the amber of cult cinema. And Vinegar Syndrome knows it . . . which is why their reissue of this cult classic is a must-own. ...
The thing about Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf is that it doesn’t just feel like a sequel—it feels like a dare. A late‑night cable dare, the kind you accepted at 1:47 a.m. in 1989 because the remote was across the room and you were too exhausted, too curious, or too spiritually compromised to change ...
