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.

"I can't help it, Joe! I just gotta have it!" These girls are nothing but trouble! Smokin’ weed, sellin’ stolen cars, and knockin’ men over the head until they are unconscious and, you know, mostly left for dead. And it is all because of the greasy tactics of Joe (Timothy Farell) and his notorious needle ...

“Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before!“ There was a time when those words - no, that entire opening ...

Zombies! Werewolves! Atomic Mutation! Intergalactic Giant Avians! This is how you do it, kids. Get yourself $100,000, come up with an attention-grabbing title for a movie, throw a monster in it, write the script on the quick, give yourself 6-days to shoot the movie (with an editor on the set so ...

As if we needed another reason NOT to drive through the desolate region of America’s Southwest! The Brotherhood of Satan reminds us of all that could (and probably will go wrong) with an idea like that. Come across a car full of dead people? Just keep driving faster! No one is going to be helping ...

Endlessly quotable and highly entertaining, a comedy classic has returned to us! A rags to riches story disguised as a romantic comedy? Who doesn’t love that idea?! No one. It was all the rage in the 1980s, which is why Overboard - a romantic comedy which breezes through some pretty ...

“I hate boats. I am not getting on any boats.” One Crazy Summer, for me, is a certified blast from beginning to end. It’s massively underrated and deserves to be applauded on its own merits instead of being compared to its cinematic (and probably more traditional) ...

“Things are not always what they seem in this place.” Upon its original theatrical release in 1986, Jim Henson’s final directorial feature, Labyrinth, was not able to find its audience as it flopped in the U.S Box office and received mixed reviews among critics of the time. But fortunately thanks to home ...

The new Michael Bryce is now part of a royally messed up family. But do we care? We probably didn’t need a sequel to 2017’s misfire buddy cop movie, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, but we got one anyway. Thing is, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is more of the same so - and this is the good news (I guess) - if you liked ...

“And the lamplight streaming shows his shadow on the floor.” Some say this is David Cronenberg’s best film. While I may not necessarily agree with that suggestion, I have to agree - and this is wholeheartedly - that, The Dead Zone, just might be one of the best Stephen King adaptations ...
There are few genre fans in the world that don’t know the name Guillermo del Toro, but in 1997 he was still a relatively unknown entity to the western world. The Spanish director was hired by the Weinsteins to helm what was originally conceived as a three part short film project, quickly morphed ...
