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.
When it comes to b-grade entertainment, there is literally NOTHING quite like 1987’s Blood Rage. As ballsy as it is shoddy, this poorly acted slasher is in fact quite effective in is delivery of a twisted tale about twins and the psychotic mother who has the wrong son committed for murder ...
...in which the whole Nature VS Nurture argument finally gets its hands bloody. Okay, so maybe Morgan isn’t all that original. The story about an artificial intelligence being raised in a laboratory and the human assigned to evaluate her when she goes rogue and actually...
"Put your weight on it, put your weight on it, put your weight on it,” shouts comedian Rudy Ray Moore as he spins the latest disco record on the dance floor for his patrons. His tight powder-blue leotard flairs out at the feet and spreads wide across the chest. Silver jewelry ...

Shelley Winters unhinged is some scary-ass shit. And that’s a fact. Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? presents the actress as a civilized AND extremely wicked woman who longs to be reunited with her dearly departed daughter. Now before you get all sentimental (because, you ...
Microwave Massacre is the type of low budget horror-comedy that few have patience for. It’s slapped together from long first takes (because the producers had no money to waste) and, as the opening credits spell out (complete with chikka-wah-wah porn-styled tunes ...

“Can you still do the things with your eyes? You’re not crazy if you can still do the thing with your eyes.” I will NEVER forget the first time I saw Philip Kaufman’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I wouldn’t go outside in the rain for weeks afterwards thanks to the opening ...
