Pee‑wee Herman cannonballing into that absurdly oversized pool at Francis’ house (er, mansion) is exactly the energy Criterion leans into with their release of Pee‑wee’s Big Adventure—big, splashy, unapologetically weird, and so committed to its own vibe that you either surrender to the joy or ...
Okay, so 2003 horror was… how do we put this kindly… the cinematic equivalent of a mall fountain. Everything was glossy, safe, and engineered to offend absolutely no one. Studios were terrified of real gore, real grime, or anything that smelled like the weird, dangerous VHS energy Gen X grew up ...
“Big bada boom.” There’s this moment early on—Korben Dallas slumped in his cramped apartment, cigarette filter glowing blue, the city outside stacked like a cosmic junk drawer—that tells you everything about The Fifth Element before the plot even kicks in. It’s the way the camera lingers on the ...
If you want to understand why Lethal Weapon still hits like a shot of cinematic espresso, start with the Christmas‑tree‑lot shootout. It’s pure 1987 chaos: Mel Gibson’s Riggs, all hair and unmedicated intensity, trying to buy cocaine from guys who look like they were cast directly from a Whitesnake ...
Okay, so The Amazing Bulk is honestly one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen in my entire life, and I’ve watched the original Super Mario Bros movie like 5 times. This movie was released in 2012 and is supposed to be similar to The Incredible Hulk, but if the Hulk ...
Bob Clark’s Black Christmas isn’t just a horror film—it’s a masterclass in suspense, dark humor, and pure holiday terror. Critics at the time may have punted it around, but the joke’s on them: this Canadian classic helped define the slasher genre and still terrifies audiences today. Thanks to ...
Get ready to get toxic. The janitor who fell into a vat of radioactive sludge is back in glorious 4K — uglier, gloopier, and nastier than ever. Four films of mutant mayhem, over-the-top gore, and darkly hilarious chaos await. Includes the original 1984 classic, the slapstick-stuffed sequels, and Citizen ...
Monsters are the good guys? Yep. Cilve Barker flips horror on its head in this cult classic. David Cronenberg is terrifying, Danny Elfman’s score is epic, and Midian is the freak‑friendly underground city you wish you could move into. Grab some pizza, crank the VCR, and root for the outsiders. Warning: you ...
Back in ’93, you didn’t just watch Jason Goes to Hell — you walked out of that theater and immediately started arguing in the parking lot like it was life or death. One buddy swore the slug‑demon body‑hopping thing was genius, another was yelling that if Jason isn’t in a hockey mask, it’s not ...
1990’s Misery is one of the finest book to screen King adaptations of all time, in my humble opinion. While this new dearth of King adaptions continues unabated with varying degrees of success or abject failure (*cough: The Stand), no one has (as yet) touched it, or even broached remaking it ...
Primal terror has never looked this good before. Joe Dante’s The Howling is back from the woods, cleaned up, sharpened, and ready to bite again. You could argue it’s the most important werewolf movie ever made — and you wouldn’t be wrong. Before Gremlins made him a household name, Dante ...
It’s like Scooby-Doo met David Bowie in a haunted house and decided to throw a burlesque show. There are B-movies, and then there’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show—a glitter-drenched fever dream that crawled out of a sci-fi graveyard, stole a corset, and never looked back. And now - The ...
Because Marvel won’t make movies this gross. So, The Toxic Avenger is back—because apparently we’ve run out of superheroes who can see out of both eyes and don’t leak glowing sludge. The original was the crown jewel of late-night cable rot, a glorious dumpster fire from the fine folks at Troma ...
![Sleepaway Camp II & III [Deluxe Limited Edition]](/images/stories/2025/sleepaway-poster.jpg)
Finally, the long wait is over. Angela Baker is coming home … again. There are very few writers who truly understand how comedy can support horror and vice versa in the filmmaking community. Fritz Gordon, the screenwriter of Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers and Sleepaway Camp ...
I mean, truly there are 3 stars in this plastic-wrapped corpse collection of a whodunnit if only for the vibrant crash-zoom opening which features Edwige Fenech dancing in her golden bra as if at a European Go-Go with a vibrant energy few women can match ...
