DVD/Blu-ray Reviews

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 ...

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 ...

Even if you don't believe in vampires, sucking your way though town just got a hell of a lot classier. When you are 17-years-old, condoms aren’t the only protection needed when attempting to survive a ...

Greetings, Starfighter!  Arrow Video invited you to watch this 1984 science fiction classic in a way never before thought possible.  With a newly restored 4k scan of the original negative and the 4.1 sound mix originally created for the 70mm release, The Last Starfighter returns to your living   ...

The Dead live ... again! There’s no denying that Criterion’s handling of writer/director George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead just might be the most important blu-ray release of the year ...

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  ...

Shot on video and completely off its rocker as it relishes in its super low, low, low budget with early CGI effects thanks to Rob Neep, Blood of the Chupacabras begins with a disclaimer about the very existence of the creature at the center of this bloodbath and then, after a mother kicks some kids  ...

Holy chainsaws and creepy crawlies, dudes and dudettes! Pine Hills Summer Camp is open once again! I can think of nothing better to do with your time this Halloween season than spending it with this glorious, B-movie embracing creature feature The feisty fun never stops thanks to ...

Shot on Video, tape warts, print noise, and all, Slaughter Day is a most ambitious horror from the days of fuzzy definition and red bandanas. It is both fun and thrilling with some off-the-wall POV shots as Blake and Jonah, played by real life twins Blake (Rising Dead, Who Saw the Men in  ...

Fresh from the success of 1978’s Halloween, director John Carpenter returns to horror and its star Jamie Lee Curtis for his follow-up feature film. The Fog is a supernatural horror flick that is heavy on atmosphere and creativity and, in spite of its age, its creepy vibe and physical make-up effects  ...

Sometimes box office bombs deliver payloads years after their release.  Scream Factory, releasing Space Truckers on blu-ray with new featurettes, know this and offer audiences another chance to hitchhike alongside Dennis Hopper, Debi Mazar, and Stephen Dorff as they seek an astronomical  ...

Visual Vengeance and Wild Eye Releasing have STUCK IT again with the release of L.A. AIDS Jabber, a shot on video horror flick which is a bit more serious than it lets on to be. Oh, and don’t worry, that taste in your mouth for even considering this title washes away quite easily, especially when  ...
