“The owls are not what they seem.” Neither is this box set. In the pantheon of television-as-art, Twin Peaks stands as a monolith of mystery, madness, and maple syrup. With From Z to A, CBS and David Lynch offer not just a collection, but a shrine—a black cube of secrets that feels like it was plucked ...
In cine-massacre history, there are few films that compare to the in-the-gut feeling Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre leaves you with. Every imperfection in this low-budget Slasher works in the movie’s favor and adds to the overall grisly experience. The movie is not as violent or as ...
A cult favorite among horror diehards, WNUF Halloween Special finally lands on Blu-ray — and while it doesn’t sparkle in high-def (intentionally!), that’s exactly the point. This isn’t a film that aims to look good. It aims to look right — like a worn-out VHS tape rescued from your childhood basement ...
True Grime fans assemble!!! If you grew up prowling the video store aisles for anything with blood, shock, or the words “based on a true story,” the new True Crime Triple Ripper Blu-ray set from AGFA and Something Weird Video feels like a time machine back to those glory days of cracked VHS ...
Surprise! The knife is not yet blunt. After the solid return to form of Dwight H. Little’s Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, things get far more interesting in the darker, mythos-expanding Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. Critics have long dismissed it ...
If there’s one film that seriously needs your reevaluation this Halloween season, it’s Tommy Lee Wallace’s Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. The title is a bit misleading as the knife-wielding Michael Myers does not appear in the film at all, but this horror film is John Carpenter’s brainchild all the ...
Iconic. This is the legacy Larry David has left in the world of situation comedy. From his work on Seinfeld to his own show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, there is little doubt on his influence and this blu-ray set - while it is far from perfect - celebrates a a comedy could run for decades without losing ...
Razor-sharp. This essentially describes the wit of Clue and this new 2023 4K upgrade of the classic comedy. It’s the movie with three different endings, remember? And, if you remember that, you also remember that you had to go to different theaters to see the different endings. It was an ...
Well, the good news with Clown in a Cornfield is that it doesn’t suck. It’s absolutely a lot of fun and full of enough meta-themed awareness to be clever in some parts. While I think a lot of horror fans might sleep on the movie, I am pleased to let you know that cornfields, clowns, and small towns ...
Rumor has it that when the John Carpenter and Debrah Hill penned (and, once again, Michael Myers-less) script for Halloween 4 was turned down, the duo promptly sold their rights to all things Halloween to producer Moustapha Akkad. Whether out of anger or suave financial smarts, the move meant ...
"Yes, this is my second life." You Only Live Twice, in which director Lewis Gilbert takes the helm for the first of three Bond films [The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979)], is where extravagance and the need for a cinematic event hijacks spy-hard, cold war excellence and, thanks to ...
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! …Unless you’re traveling through LAX on Christmas Eve when a team of military contractors are planning on releasing a bioweapon that can kill thousands, then, maybe it isn’t. The Netflix original Carry-On is touting itself as 2024’s ...
It comes as no surprise that Warner’s have delivered a boxset of all 7 original Elm Street flicks within a year of releasing the first film in various releases last year. The double-dipping trickery never ends, does it? In fact, all the studios seem to be leaning into the spoon-feeding technique with franchise ...
“My dear girl, don't flatter yourself. What I did this evening was for King and country. You don't think it gave me any pleasure, do you?” Thunderball, in which director Terence Young returns to the world of 007, is a bigger and badder version of James Bond than anyone expected in 1965 ...
“My dear girl, there are some things that just aren't done, such as drinking Dom Perignon '53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs!” There’s no denying that by 1963 ...
“Once more into the breach, dear friends.” From the deadly opening minutes as a familiar-looking spy is killed to the brutal, claustrophobic brawl aboard the Orient Express, the second James Bond film - while longer - is a tightly-wound vehicle of espionage and complicated entanglements as Bond ...
“Bond. James Bond.” And, with that smooth delivery, a catchphrase was born. Dr. No is filled with so many memorable moments - Ursula Andress emerging from the sea with her conch shells, the back-and-forth between Bond and Dr. No about their views on power and world relations, the ruthless ...
Tom Cruise returns – one last time – as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, the adrenaline-charged finale to a franchise defined by its stunning stunts and high-stakes adventures. While most of the things that have made the franchise what it is over ...
Tarantino has certainly afforded us some classic auteur fair over the years, disparate in tone, in subject and in setting, but he always delivers something uniquely him and uniquely memorable. Of all his classics, Kill Bill is the one I frequently revisit. His batshit crazy modernist ronin tale of The Bride (Uma Thurman) ...
Don’t let the words “based on a short story by Stephen King” on marketing materials for The Life of Chuck fool you. It is not a horror movie. Well, the film’s third act, which, confusingly, opens the film, does feature a pretty harrowing depiction of the end of the world ...
Tarantino has certainly afforded us some classic auteur fair over the years, disparate in tone, in subject and in setting, but he always delivers something uniquely him and uniquely memorable.

Rick Rosenthal's Halloween II isn’t the best release in the series but, with its workmanlike earnestness, the minor dip in glossy quality isn’t a complete undoing. It holds up better than most slasher sequels. Besides, measuring the original release both in reception and its critical analysis, the drop ...
The bookish virgin. Two selfish friends. The obsessed psychiatrist. A babysitting job on October 31st. And The Shape. Halloween, masterfully directed by John Carpenter, is considered – some 35 years after its release – a classic film of sound and vision. It is the film that I have watched more ...
Inbred children rise up . . . again! Filmmaker Dustin Ferguson (Space Sharks; Mega Ape; Beyond the Gates of Hell; Amityville in the Hood; Zombi VIII: Urban Decay; Apex Predators; Ebola Rex vs. Murder Hornets; Rattlers 2; Arachnado; Amityville Toybox and many, many ...
Existential dread has arrived! And, this time, in 4K! Writer/Director John Carpenter must really be a miracle worker. He’s got some serious mojo working in his favor. Or maybe he’s simply a smarter filmmaker than most give him credit for. Other than the late great ...
Family Requires Sacrifice! Never has that edict been more relevant than in the new film, Bring Her Back from the Philippou brothers, the filmmaking team that brought us 2022’s breakout Australian supernatural horror film, Talk to Me. Well, the brothers are back at it in their ...
Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme is a visual and whimsical delight that will undoubtedly charm long-time fans of the filmmaker’s signature style. Though this latest entry into Anderson’s cinematic repertoire brims with his trademarks – a meticulously crafted world ...
I put off watching A Minecraft Movie for a week due to all the noise it was making from certain crowds obsessed with the whole “chicken jockey” line before destroying the theater. I regret that decision. This movie - featuring totally on-brand performances from Jack Black and ...
The rage of The Dark Crystal soldiers on! There is a certain type of beauty to pulling off a modern day family friendly movie which doesn’t talk down to its audience. That’s sort of what you have here with The Legend of Ochi, A24’s first foray into movies geared toward the family. Except this movie has ...
Born from a short story written by screenwriter Thomas Martin, and inspired by the real-life tale of Luna Bay, a wealthy enclave of Palos Verdes Estates that has been a forbidden surfing paradise for non-locals, The Surfer marks director Lorcan Finnegan and Martin’s ...
