To this day, there remains something insanely special about director Brian De Palma’s Carrie. It is based on the once-discarded novel by Stephen King, but was painstakingly adapted for the screen by Lawrence D. Cohen. Cohen got everything about King’s first novel right ...
A single tear is all it takes for this dude to land all the ladies. His name is Cry-Baby and this is his story . . . with guitars! The motorcycles! The music! The Squares! The Drapes! And all the raging hormones! It’s 1954 again in Roger Waters’ classic teenage musical, Cry-Baby. It has been ...
Being the ninth and final film in Hammer’s Dracula series, The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires definitely holds a special place in horror history. That’s not the limit of its legacy, though. Not by a longshot ...
"I got my beer, I got my sex partner, what else do I need?” Blood Lake continues to exist because we all want to be like Little Tony. Fight me if you disagree. Having a camcorder doesn’t necessarily make you a horror film director. The same can be said ...
Before Resident Evil, there was Warning Sign. Complete with an impressive synth score from Craig Safan, this thriller absolutely rocks and serves as the precursor to what would come in a lot of biohazard-themed flicks a decade AFTER its initial release ...
“God, I love the desert!” This is what is loudly proclaimed by the Sunday school teacher who is sitting squarely at the center of Murderlust. Steve Belmont (Eli Rich) is a pathetic human being. As a Sunday school teacher, he uses his post to ensnare pretty young women ...
When I was a young fool, my go-to movie was Forest Gump. I think I saw that damn film at least NINE times in the theater. I was graduating high school and leaving for college and that film just resonated with me. I was also lovesick and a complete idiot about it. This review ...
You ever wish there was more of you to go around? Feel completely wiped out at the end of the day? Willing to only stuff your face with one slice of pizza too many when you get home? If so, Sony and Columbia Pictures have the comedy for you ...
A baboon’s heart, hockey, and one hell of a sweet story. That’s what you STILL get with Untamed Heart, now making its blu-ray debut Caroline (Marisa Tomei) has too good of a heart. So say her friends. And, judging by how happy she is to ...
Mesmerizing pulp fiction. There simply is no other way to describe the powerful impact of Detour, a low budget gem from Poverty Row Pictures. Truthfully, the movie shouldn’t work as well at it does ...
Val Lewton, making 1940s B-flicks look nothing like other horror films of the 1940s, is a certifiable genius of the cinema. His ability to plunge audiences straight into nightmares is uncanny. Madness and death, there’s our recurring fear factor in ...
Still considered today to be one of Harold Lloyd’s finest films, The Kid Brother makes its debut on blu-ray thanks to the the Criterion Collection. It is, of course, one of Lloyd’s sweetest and funniest films, with more sight gags than his others, in which Lloyd plays Harold Hickory ...
To this day, there remains something insanely special about director Brian De Palma’s Carrie. It is based on the once-discarded novel by Stephen King, but was painstakingly adapted for the screen by Lawrence D. Cohen. Cohen got everything about King’s first novel right ...
“Why are there potatoes on the board every day? Who took my desk? Put that knife away!” If your high school was anything like the knife-wielding, gun-toting, slingshot-carrying school that is featured in Showdown then, man, you just might ...
When in doubt, Big Mama knows! This is what happens when AWFUL becomes ART. I can hear the pro-lifers waxing poetic about this trashterpiece now. A woman’s aborted fetus attacks her ...
He will EAT your soul! That’s the threat that is received when The Witches, a supernatural horror film from Hammer Studios, opens as a school teacher at a mission school in Africa is quickly packing her things. There is trouble afoot and the tribal drums are an indicator ...
...
What if the Zombie Apocalypse failed? What if the miracle of science saved both the survivors and those that were turned? ...
With her decision made, there can be only one force that flings open the double doors that lead to one character’s fate. And she will walk down the long haul with the balls of her feet digging into the ground with intention. Everyone thinks she’s mad anyway. The taking of her own life will be no real shock ...
With all its talk of radars and Pine Tree Radar Fences, it’s a wonder that The Deadly Mantis, warning of a sneak attack across the polar ice (by anyone), manages to be so much fun. STILL! But, honestly, few things in the cinematic world beat the scene where the giant insect ...
For my money, POV horror can still deliver when there is an engaged mind at the helm. This is exactly why Night, a new horror film from the sick mind of writer/director/actor Nicholas Michael Jacobs, works as well as it does ...
Carl Weathers doesn't take no lip. Watch him; however, take a baseball bat to the face of one crooked cop in Bucktown. It is a scene you won't likely forget anytime soon ...
No more power ballads! No more power ballads! That’s the chant that guitarist Pager (Rhys Coiro) of Sonic Grave keeps repeating. He’s had enough of the panty-dropping cheese and wants to rock out at Coachella this year. Can anyone blame him? The 1980s are dead and ...
Never a great movie, this one is for Christopher Lee purists only. Curse III: Blood Sacrifice has nothing to do with the other movies in the series. That should be your first indication of exactly where this one is headed. It does have some interesting moments, though. Shadows ...
It doesn’t take long for Sister Street fighter to kick a lot of ass. From catching flies and throwing them down the mouths (and up the noses) of her enemies to all the strategically thrown forks, Tina (Sue Shiomi) is a martial artist badass that knows her way through a crowded ...
We are the weirdos, Mister. Honestly, in a modern day viewing, The Craft feels richer than it did when I originally saw the film. There is a lot to appreciate about the film and its tale of sisterhood among four high school friends. The situations feel real and, certainly, the black ...
...
When you think of a New Year’s Eve party, the last thing you would expect to attend are aliens. But that’s exactly what happens in Alien Party Crashers, a new science fiction comedy from High Octane Pictures. Self-invited and definitely not afraid to double-dip the same ...
“Is this dog incredible or what?” That’s the question Ally Sheedy asks her cameraman when, after being attacked by a stranger, a hulking dog she just rescued from a vivisection experimental lab runs off the would-be burglar and fetches her purse. ...
The unnatural body contortions and bed thumpings happen early in The Possession of Hannah Grace. What we have come to expect from these movies of possession is shoved right in our faces before we are even ready for our popcorn ...
She's a fugitive kind! Slashers probably should only drag bodies on the ground and not the actual pacing. I’m not saying Splatter University is a horrible horror film, but truly the only thing that can save this wacky mess from itself are the drinking games you are going to make ...
Ol’ Jimmie needs a drink at the Huddle II. That’s how Invasion of the Blood Farmers begins. The film, a true trashterpiece of schlock SINema is wildly absurd, sick-minded, and loopy as hell. It is also a ripe find thanks to Severin’s blu-ray release of this grindhouse classic ...
