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.
“But, Miss Hammond... Helga! No Hammond ever ventures into the rocky lane on a foggy night,” is the warning. It’s the siren song of an entire family line. You see, the Hammond family IS cursed. Some might say they are cursed by wealth. Others will suggest it is ...
God bless Samurai Cop. Seriously. Ranking alongside The Room and Troll 2, Samurai Cop rounds out a trio of films so fucking bad that they are unyieldingly hilarious. You want to set the tone of a party right? Rent this bitch. The result of stitching together an action movie ...
And now it is time to get weird; really weird. Jeremy Irons, man. What a commanding actor, right? Well, in David Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers, he plays a set of talented twins that, after a simple misunderstanding over the same woman, turn their successful gynecology ...

Bad Acting. Bad dialogue. Bad movie, right? Not quite. There are exceptions. The Majorettes, starring Kevin Kindlin, Terrie Godfrey, Mark Jevicky, and Thomas E. Desrocher, is one of those. This psychosexual charged flick owes much of its creative prowess to its creators’ ...
Never fear, Doc Savage is here!
With that joyous announcement, one of the campiest flicks to ever hit the 1970s leaps off the screen and into the hearts and minds of cinephiles everywhere. Let’s get something straight first. Doc Savage is completely ridiculous. Full of knowing winks to the camera ...
