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.
Exploitation vigilantism never kicked so hard as it does here in the second installment of the Death Wish series. Newly remastered thanks to the efforts of Vinegar Syndrome and MGM, Death Wish II can now be seen ...
Bubba Ho-Tep and I have finally made up. I get it. I finally get why the movie absolutely works and why my punk-ass comments when it was originally released were so naïve. To borrow a line from Gatsby's Nick Carraway, “in my younger and more vulnerable years” I was a complete tool ...
The crazy clown mayhem of All Hallows Eve continues! Writer/Director Damien Leone knows how to commit to horror. I mean, without even batting an eye he serves up a whole platter of gore-iffic deserts, and sure, no one asked for them, but he definitely delivers on the special effects, turning his ...
Confession time, children! Gather around. Closer, please. I'm going to whisper this to you before I spend an entire review proclaiming why. Here goes: I fucking love Bob Clark ...
The Island of Dr. Moreau was always a doomed affair. From the ever-increasing budget demands, the daily script rewrites which forced Rob Morrow to exit early, the unpredictable reaction by Marlon Brando to his daughter’s suicide, Val Kilmer’s own rage-filled reaction to getting served divorce ...
Super tongue strikes again! Bob Clark’s Black Christmas is a masterpiece of horror (and humor) that you truly can deck the halls with. There’s no other way to put it. Oh, the print critics had a field day punting it around at the time of its release, but the joke is on them. Its genre legacy speaks ...
Writer/director Eric Swelstad (The Curse of Lizzie Borden 2: Prom Night, Too Good to Be True) deserved better with his small town satanic panic flick, Heartland of Darkness. The film, also referred to as both Fallen Angels and Blood Church, works like gangbusters and delivers ...
The Women-in-Prison genre of exploitation film is definitely not dead. It just needs some much needed resuscitation from brave filmmakers who aren’t afraid to exploit - what Roger Corman did in the late 60s (when the Hays Code was finally put to rest) - moral guidance. Anything for a shot of ...
A vampire murder mystery? Sure! Why not? So, the intentions of this movie are perhaps a bit unclear. You have the famed director of Dracula, Tod Browning, teaming up with the man who is the embodiment of the world’s most famous vampire, Bela Lugosi, for a…non-Dracula vampire ...
The Dead live ... again! This time in Ultra 4K, thanks to the Criterion Collection. This release includes a 4K digital restoration, supervised by director George A. Romero, "Night of Anubis," a work-print edit of the film, and two audio commentaries featuring Romero, the film's producer and ...
