Released in 1973 as the bottom-half of a double feature, The Boy Who Cried Werewolf never could match wits with its running mate, Sssssss. Both were creature features. Both were low budget offerings. Both were weird enough, yet cult filmmaker Nathan Juran (Attack ...
Comedian Rudy Ray Moore (Dolemite & The Human Tornado) came into this world as a 10-year-old boy ready for battle. Wearing diapers and beating the white doctor’s ass who delivered him (and then his father for “keeping him up at night”) is certainly a hell of a way to ...
Now, THIS shit is bananas. While I’m sure Gwen Stefani did not have Hardcore Henry – or anything like it – in mind when she penned the lyrics to her song, the chorus fits in describing almost EVERY element of the action flick. Produced by Wanted’s Timur Bekmambetov ...
“Can you still do the things with your eyes? You’re not crazy if you can still do the thing with your eyes.” I will NEVER forget the first time I saw Philip Kaufman’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I wouldn’t go outside in the rain for weeks afterwards thanks to the opening ...
To this day, The Adventures of Bukaroo Banzai remains one helluva wild ride. There is no other film that quite matches its new wave swagger. Nothing comes close to its style or its wit and, while a complete product of its time, the film has remained relatively ageless due ...
Microwave Massacre is the type of low budget horror-comedy that few have patience for. It’s slapped together from long first takes (because the producers had no money to waste) and, as the opening credits spell out (complete with chikka-wah-wah porn-styled tunes ...
Shelley Winters unhinged is some scary-ass shit. And that’s a fact. Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? presents the actress as a civilized AND extremely wicked woman who longs to be reunited with her dearly departed daughter. Now before you get all sentimental (because, you ...
Embracing a joyously retro-generated vibe of all things bursting with rainbows, unicorns, NES, comic books, and Michael Ironside, Turbo Kid laser blasts its way onto blu-ray with the single mission to – as the late Rowdy Roddy Piper once famously adlibbed – "kick ass and chew ...
“Now are you ready to tell me the secrets of the death ray,” snarls Bela Lugosi as the all-black wearing villain in Chandu the Magician. He plays Roxor, an evil mastermind hell-bent on ruling nations with the destructive power of a new invention. And only one man can ...
As fond as I am for Anthony Perkins’ acting talents, I have to say that Psycho IV: The Beginning is a film best suited for those looking to complete the Norman Bates experience only. It is interesting in that it operates as a prequel and as a third sequel to the horror series at ...
"Put your weight on it, put your weight on it, put your weight on it,” shouts comedian Rudy Ray Moore as he spins the latest disco record on the dance floor for his patrons. His tight powder-blue leotard flairs out at the feet and spreads wide across the chest. Silver jewelry ...
When it comes to b-grade entertainment, there is literally NOTHING quite like 1987’s Blood Rage. As ballsy as it is shoddy, this poorly acted slasher is in fact quite effective in is delivery of a twisted tale about twins and the psychotic mother who has the wrong son committed for murder ...
Perhaps there is no other movie that best exemplifies the highs and lows of the 1980s than 1989's Road House. It's got mullets, monster trucks, martial arts, naked chicks, big hair, and a bunch of white guys beating the living shit out of each other for no real reason ...
Beheadings! Bosoms! Blood! Welcome to the dark side of the 1950s. Made for a mere $29000 in 1959, The Monster of Piedras Blancas looks like a million bucks in high-definition in 2016. Down with the fuzz. We want clarity in our Creature Features and Olive Films absolutely ...
Gothic horror gets its kink on in 1962’s The Horrible Dr. Hichcock. This is one of the movies that you really have to wonder how in the hell it got made. Like ever. Like ever ever. Directed by Riccardo Freda (working as Robert Hampton), the Italian director responsible for The Ghost ...
