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.
In cine-massacre history, there are few films that compare to the in-the-gut feeling Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre leaves you with. Every imperfection in this low-budget Slasher works in the movie’s favor and adds to the overall grisly experience. The movie is not as violent or as ...
This Roger Corman-produced slasher/comedy was long overdue on blu-ray, but it makes a fairly early 4K release and for all of the right reasons, too. It was originally made in 1982 on a shoestring budget and featured as many boobs as grizzly power-tool murders. Directed by Amy Holden Jones ...
It’s been written that, “the woods are lovely, dark and deep” but are they really? After watching the opening 10 minutes of Guts On The Chainsaw (with narration from Robert Stone), you’ll be questioning that statement yourself. After all, according to the movie, there are over 407 open cases ...
The introduction to this low budget feast tells us all we need to know . . . “The great virus started in 2019. In the first 2 years almost 5 million people died worldwide.

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 ...
