Andy Milligan didn’t direct movies so much as drag his personal demons into a cramped apartment, dump fake blood on everybody, and let the camera roll. Legacy of Blood might be the purest expression of that diseased little ...

Some movies are made. Others are unleashed—like a tiger in a go-go cage hopped up on amphetamines and bad intentions. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is the latter: a studio picture that feels like it escaped ...
Drop filmmaker Andy Milligan into polite conversation and watch the room curdle. Say his name in the wrong company and—yeah—you might get dunked in the River Jordan or handed off to Father Merrin for a quick ...
Inside Jack Potter there’s a hero trying to get out! Innerspace hit theaters on July 1, 1987, and I wore it out that summer as a fat 12-year-old. I went back more than once. Couldn’t help it. The movie felt alive—loud ...
There’s a certain breed of film that doesn’t just ride the coattails of a blockbuster—it clings to them like a half-feral stowaway, gnawing through the luggage and emerging somewhere deep in the jungle with a machete ...

"There aren't any condoms in heaven, Dr. Riffleson. Nor any that bite" Is it body horror . . . or something else entirely? Whatever label for this trasherpiece you land on, the film delivers it in excess. This deliciously warped, Gremlins-by-way-of-grindhouse ...
Robo Warriors—not robot warriors, mind you, but Robo Warriors—kicks the door down with the kind of loud, unapologetic energy that tells you exactly what you’re in for. This isn’t sleek, polished sci-fi; it’s scrappy, neon-soaked, VHS-era ...
The Ennis House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, doesn’t simply sit on its Los Feliz perch; it looms, as if the hill itself is trying to shrug it off. Those carved concrete blocks catch the light in a way that feels almost reptilian, every geometric groove hinting at something ancient watching from behind ...
There’s something gloriously off-kilter about revisiting Blue City in 2026—especially through the obsessive, almost reverent care of Vinegar Syndrome. I threw it on late one night expecting a dusty ‘80s crime relic and instead got ...
“Get out!” You want to open big? Fine. We kick the door straight into the fly room, that sun‑splashed chamber of doom where Father Delaney — played with volcanic, sweat‑soaked conviction by Rod Steiger — walks in expecting to ...

One does not watch Voices From Beyond in a traditional sense. You don’t track it, you don’t solve it—you submit to it. It drifts, it murmurs, it circles back on itself like a half-remembered nightmare. This is ...
