BADass SINema Unearthed - Where we dive into the wild, weird, and wonderfully wicked world of classic grindhouse cinema. We celebrate 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.
Wherever it is in the outer realm of this eternal existence that producer/director/writer Al Adamson now hangs his hat, here’s hoping it has one hell of a view of the heavens. His bankable B-movies – however cheap and trashy they come across – are endlessly entertaining ...
When I was a kid, it was this stupid movie that gave me a prolonged buzz. In one quick scene a small child gets destroyed by a bunch of zombies in a bathroom. It’s not grotesque; it’s implied as a horde of zombies gather round him to feast. In another, a doctor verbally ...
Masked robed figures populate the landscape of 16th century France in actor/writer/director Paul Naschy’s Inquisition. Fires rage, too. Decapitated heads rot on wooden posts. Red X’s appear on the doors of stone houses of the condemned. And the women – always ...

Rat Fink lives in the shadows. It is a film about risk. And it lives in another time and another place, where classic cars travel high speeds and loners ride the rails as Ricky Nelson-like pop songs live and breathe as more than mere background music. It is a dangerous place ...
Before Alien met Predator and THAT battle began, there was Alienator. I’m not really sure why Alienator, which is partly a remake of The Astounding She-Monster, doesn’t work as raucous as one would expect, especially from a b-movie director as prolific as Fred Olen ...
Never before has losing one's mind been so brutally glorious and funny! Wickedly directed (and shot) by Anders Jacobsson and written by Göran Lundström and Christer Ohlsson, Evil Ed is a clever response to Sweden’s own government-sponsored view of film censorship ...
It’s not many who survive a haunting by a four-wheeled death delivery machine. And the assorted characters assembled for this flick know that so much insanity in one little town is not good for tourism. This low budget horror flick, complete with a seriously shocking ...
I have to call foul on this horror title. I admit that I had some expectations going into it due to my knowledge of the horrific event the film is based upon and, if I am being completely honest, the BEST scenes in this movie come early when the brutality of the event ...
