Who’d have thought that vikings in ridiculous costumes could be this endearing?! Certainly no one I know . . . especially if you just gradually tune in and out of this western-inspired adventure. Throw in some shoot-outs (by way of knives) and a showdown in the sunset and you have director Mario Bava’s nod ...
If the opening moments of Kill, Baby, Kill aren’t enough to set you on edge, then I suppose nothing else in Mario Bava’s bloody good movie will either. Move along, kid. There’s literally nothing for YOU to see here if you remain unaffected by its suspense. This film, celebrated immediately upon its release ...
Mario Bava’s thriller, The Girl Who Knew Too Much, is really where the Italian giallo began. Yes, it is borrowing heavily from Hitchcock But there is a breathless agility to its overall mystery that operates a bit more fantastical than Hitch dared as a young woman (Letícia Román), while vacationing ...
I’m not going to mince words here. Truck Turner is one seriously badass flick. It is the type of B-movie that gets me so excited for the unlimited possibilities of low budget cinema. It is sooo much better than Shaft and the countless other Blaxploitation films offered up in the wake of 1971’s Sweet ...
Directed by Mario Bava (Planet of Vampires), Black Sabbath remains an influential horror film. It is, after all, where Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, and Ozzy Osbourne (who all marveled at the fact that people actually paid money only to leave theaters that scared) got their band name from. But one quick ...
Originally titled The Mask of Satan, Mario Bava’s feature length debut, released here in the United States as Black Sunday, was a gothic-sized hit for Roger Corman’s American International Pictures. The hype was all about its shocking images. While tame when compared to today’s horror, Bava’s film ...
Crime is a disease. He is STILL the cure. That’s right, Marion “Cobra” Cobretti is back on the streets! This time in stunning 4K thanks to Arrow Video, who have remastered and restored this 1980’s classic from the original 35mm negative and given it a sun-kissed audio uptick as well! ...
Written and directed by Larry Cohen (The Stuff, It's Alive, Q: The Winged Serpent, Original Gangstas), Black Caesar is essentially a remake of 1931’s Little Caesar with Edward G. Robinson. To its credit; however, Cohen’s film has enough stylized action and Harlem locale in it to make it ...
Barry Shear's Across 110th Street remains a hard-hitting look at racial violence in the streets of New York City. Loaded with hundreds of F-bombs, there's no denying its visceral power and, while the film gets lumped in with a lot of other Blaxploitation flicks from the era, the gritty realism ...
Sky Captain And The World of Tomorrow remains an absolute joy ride through pure imagination. It is - by design - retro in feeling, high on nostalgia, pulpy in its comic book fantasy, and - thanks to Shout! Factory - now hitting its stride on home video thanks to this 4K treatment. It seems the times ...
The Long Kiss Goodnight, the critically-panned 1996 American action thriller film co-produced and directed by Renny Harlin and written by Shane Black, has finally arrived on 4K thanks to the fine efforts of Arrow Video. This brand new 4K restoration has been minted from the original 35mm ...
Once upon a time ago, Pam Grier – with her name proudly resting ABOVE the titles – could sell a movie. Hell, she WAS the movie. What a powerful time in movie history that was; an African-American woman selling an action flick. Such is the case with William Girdler's Sheba, Baby, ...
Shout Factory has taken us back to the grit and grime of the Los Angeles streets circa 1973, thanks to their restoration and release of Jack Hill’s blaxploitation cult classic, Coffy, which is part of their Blaxploitation Classics, Vol. 1 release, a set which features THE BADDEST CATS TO STEP ...
“I know what you're thinking: 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I ...
“I’m on TV! I’m on TV!” Because we all love the scene-stealing LUNACY of a Cage-centered meltdown, especially when his character is named Rick Santoro! Go, Tyler! Go, Tyler! Goooooooooo! ...
