The water!  It’s the goddamn water! From the very beginning, there is something very forward-thinking about 1964’s The Flesh Eaters.  It is as if the black-and-white creature feature absolutely predicted what teens and young adults would be wanting to see on the matinee silver screens as one ...

“Screw the heat.  We don’t stop for nobody!” Wine.  Women.  Whiskey.  And weed.  Sounds like a good time, right?  It isn't.  Angels Hard As They Come, a biker exploitation classic with original music by Carp, should know.  Things don't go as planned. ...
