There’s a moment in Prom Night when you realize this movie has absolutely no intention of behaving itself. Sure, Paul Lynch’s 1980 slasher arrives carrying all the necessary equipment: buried childhood trauma, teenagers ...
Remaking Night of the Living Dead should have been a terrible fucking idea. Seriously. George A. Romero’s 1968 original didn’t merely become a classic; it ripped open horror cinema, changed the rules, and left generations ...
It’s time to chew bubblegum and kick ass again! And, holy hell, They Live refuses to stay in 1988. Director John Carpenter had a nice run, didn’t he? Between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, Carpenter was king of science ...
The comets are coming!! The comets are coming!! And, somehow, more than forty years later, Night of the Comet is still one hell of a good time. Science fiction gets satirized in writer/director Thom Eberhardt’s fantastic ...
Forty-four years later, Swamp Thing remains one of the oddest entries in both Wes Craven's filmography and the long, strange history of comic book movies. Released years before Alan Moore transformed the character into ...
“Whoa. Free toy inside! Free toy inside!” Do I have your attention, Cult of UHF? Good. Because after all these years, the rest of the world has finally caught up with what "Weird Al" Yankovic was doing back in ...
More than three decades later, Frank Henenlotter's Frankenhooker hasn't mellowed with age. If anything, it has become even more gloriously unhinged. His 1990 parody of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein remains ...
It wasn’t the first buddy cop action flick ever created but it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t regard 1987’s Lethal Weapon as the definitive example. Richard Donner’s kinetic, character-driven, action extravaganza is ...
Forget the capes. Forget the castles. Forget the vampires. The real monster wears a judge's robe. One of Hammer's most underrated late-period horror films, Cry of the Banshee finds Vincent Price abandoning his ...
Freedom! Adventure! Flying like Peter Pan across...a circuit board?! Damn straight! Forget Neverland, folks. Back in 1985, the place every kid wanted to visit wasn't Fantasy Island—it was outer space. NASA was cool, SpaceCamp ...
Some horror movies get a shiny new coat of paint when they hit 4K. Zombie Flesh Eaters gets more worms. More rot. More flesh. More reasons to wonder what the hell was going through Lucio Fulci's wonderfully twisted ...
“A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming,” says Barbarella (Jane Fonda) on her way to save her winged friend. Such is the reaction many people still have to Fonda in the title role of Roger Vadim's gloriously ...
"Alright, who's next? Who wants some?" Some movies mellow with age. Army of Darkness has somehow become even more gloriously insane. Watching Sam Raimi's medieval monster mash again in 2026 ...
Most westerns swagger into town with a six-shooter and a horse. Red Sun walks in carrying a samurai sword, a Colt revolver, Charles Bronson's permanent scowl, Alain Delon's movie-star arrogance, Toshiro Mifune's volcanic dignity...
The light through the darkness still burns thanks to the weird, horny, loud, unapologetically metal world of Heavy Metal. More than forty years later, there really isn't another animated film quite like it. Sure, countless ...
Remakes usually suck. Legacy sequels spend half their running time reminding you how much better the original was. Evil Dead 2 says, "Fuck all of that." Sam Raimi looked at The Evil Dead, tore the damn thing apart with a chainsaw ...
Remember when Wes Craven would just throw absolutely every goddamn idea he had at the screen? No restraint. No studio-mandated "elevated horror." No worrying about tone. Just a filmmaker asking himself, "What if I made ...
Remember when vampires were monsters? Not misunderstood heartthrobs. Not emotionally unavailable boyfriends with perfect hair. Not sparkling immortals who spent eternity staring longingly into each other's eyes. Actual fucking monsters. ...
There are movies...and then there are video store movies. You know, the kind you discovered because the box art looked too damn cool to ignore. The kind your mom probably didn't want you renting because there was a barbarian swinging ...
After Howard the Duck’s surprise appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy, I knew it was only a matter of time before Universal went into their vaults and hatched our fowl friend’s blu-ray debut for audiences ...
George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead has been released on home video more times than the zombies have stumbled through Monroeville Mall, but not every edition earns a permanent place on the shelf. Originally released ...
"They'll eat anything. They'll eat anybody." There are movie rip-offs...and then there's Piranha. Released on August 3, 1978, barely a month after Jaws 2 hit theaters, Joe Dante's Piranha looked like exactly what Roger Corman ...
“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 ...
Provocative and psychological, Deep Red remains an incredible statement on the beauty of film as an art form. More than fifty years after its release, Dario Argento's masterpiece hasn't lost an ounce of its power. If anything, ...
I first saw Dario Argento's Phenomena when it was released here in the United States as Creepers. That version—heavily edited by nearly 30 minutes (for no other reason than to save Americans from actually thinking)—was essentially ...
Synapse Films' 4K UHD release of Suspiria is a work of pure art. It is also important and impactful, belonging in a time capsule and in every serious horror collection. Years after its original release, this restoration remains one ...
"The Evil Dead is the most ferociously original horror film of the year." — Stephen King, 1981 Opening with the swirl of century-old fog creeping across a lonely Tennessee lake, The Evil Dead announced in 1981 that a fearless new ...
I was barely a year out of high school when Species first slithered into theaters in 1995. For years afterward, all I really remembered was Natasha Henstridge making one hell of an entrance. Model-turned-actress? Sure. Movie ...
AGFA's latest Blu-ray pairs two forgotten exploitation oddities—1969's Fly Now, Pay Later and 1972's Voices of Desire—into one gloriously disreputable double feature that feels like it was rescued from the floor of a ...
Long before cult classics were manufactured by social media, Troll earned its reputation the old-fashioned way—through late-night cable, worn-out VHS tapes, and word of mouth. Decades later, its strange little spell ...
