Bela Lugosi. George Zucco. John Carradine. Why wouldn’t a Horror Hound NOT want to check out director William Beaudine’s Voodoo Man? Of course, there are plenty of things wrong with this unintentionally campy horror flick BUT it’s all so perfectly harmless that ...
It was only a matter of time. Poe couldn’t be the sole horror author to get ALL the attention from the cinema. And so, when it came to a new round of anthology items to consider, Vincent Price found himself caught inside the pages of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Gothicism ...
When you get to a B-movie as aptly titled as The Brain that Wouldn’t Die, you – of course – have to embrace disbelief with open arms. If you do, you won’t exactly be disappointed with the results as one doctor refuses to give up on his girlfriend and decides to attach her ...
James Brolin. A demonic car. Some Native American warnings. And the arid American desert. What else do you need to have one helluva damn good time? Nothing. And that's exactly the territory of The Car, a horror film that owes its inception to the success of Jaws. Directed by ...
…in which the origins of American International Pictures are unearthed… B-movies, quite literally, do not get any worse than with the events depicted inside The Beast of 10,000 Leagues. Born from America’s post WWII fears, the quick look at the nuclear-made ...
South Korea’s first entry into the kaiju movie genre is probably the sole reason to ever pick up a copy of Kino-Lorber’s 1080p treatment of Yongary, Monster from the Deep and that truly is ONLY if you are nut about the genre. Believe me when I tell you that this is a monster ...
When we get to the films of director Frederick R. Friedel let it be known that we are in very special B-movie territory. Inspired equally by the eye of Orson Welles and the taste of Roger Corman, Friedel and his gang of film conspirators combined their talents and put North ...
Warner Bros – as part of their Archive Collection – simply do not realize or appreciate some of the lesser-known gems they have on their hands. With the bare-boned blu-ray release of The Ice Pirates, their misunderstanding of this science fiction comedy is as audible as it ...
Let’s go ahead and give the British the coveted award for best werewolf movie in quite a long while. It is much deserved. Howl, directed by make-up effects wiz Paul Hyett (The Seasoning House), is quite an effective independent feature with a rollicking cast of hairy ...
Sonny Boy is, thankfully, a relatively unknown movie. I say thankfully because if more people knew about director Robert Martin Carrol’s screwed up flick, there would be hell to pay when it came to morality codes and such things as good, decent taste. Few people ...
When a young couple decides to elope and marry in Vegas, the road they take drags them straight into hell itself. Literally. Highway to Hell is an engaging and campy tale of just how far one man will go for the women he loves. There is weirdness and laughs all around him ...
Once upon a time ago, Pam Grier – with her name proudly resting ABOVE the titles – could sell a movie. Hell, she WAS the movie. What a powerful time in movie history that was; an African-American woman selling an action flick. Such is the case with William Girdler's ...
Directed by Edward Cahn (It! The Terror from Beyond Space and all those Our Gang shorts), Curse of the Faceless Man, like much of his science fiction-minded American International Pictures output, has moments of terror that can't be dismissed. His first film did inspire ...
Vincent Price. To put it mildly, there is no other actor alive today that can match the sheer weight of his importance in the horror genre. No one. Price, good or bad, was an absolute master at the macabre (in an entertaining way) and his involvement in any film ...
With lines like "that's strange, my dad's battleaxe is missing" and a copious amount of well-managed gore and humor, there's no denying that The Mutilator is EXACTLY what any true fan of horror could ever want in a flick. It even has a super-stylized Springsteen wannabe ...
Ugly, wildly unique and completely ridiculous in all its cheesy glory, Pieces, “directed” by Spanish filmmaker Juan Piquer Simon (Slugs: The Movie), is an exploitation slasher film that is as disturbing as it is obvious. The dialogue is of an Ed Wood quality and the edits are as ...
Fans of mad scientist flicks rejoice! The Back Sleep has arrived to cradle us in our darkest moments of fear and fury. Starring a very notable cast, this B-movie was coupled with a lot of better B-movies during its brief theatrical run but it matters not because this release – from Kino Lorber no less ...
Written by Jack Nicholson, The Trip is director Roger Corman’s statement on the whole psychedelic scene of the 1960s. It is more of an experience; however, than it is a film. Much like Head, the trippy Monkees’ movie (which is far more interesting than it is given credit ...
There is a reason that Quentin Tarantino and Neveldine/Taylor consistently make Black Mama, White Mama more than just a reference point in their filmography. The balance struck between humor and socio-political commentary is a steady one and continues to ...
Cherry Falls. It is an idyllic small town in Virginia. Tall trees and large pools of water surround it. Nothing much happens here, mind you, but its residents love the safety and security it provides. It is a place to raise a family; almost isolated from the rest of the state. And the ...
With a plump fleshy tongue planted firmly in its teeth, Frightmare is a fun and puzzling little flick hailing from 1983. This dusty horror gem is certainly not a waste of time and, as it achieves much more than it has any right to on its small budget, should be lapped up proper-like by any legitimate ...
Aligning its release with NASA’s Project Mercury accomplishments but predating man’s landing on the moon is Denmark’s laughably silly Journey to the Seventh Planet. Directed by cult producer Sidney W. Pink (Reptilicus, The Angry Red Planet) and starring John Agar and ...
There have been many adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe’s famous short story, but I have to admit that Lucio Fulci’s film is probably the most uneven of the batch. That’s not saying his take on The Black Cat isn’t without merit but, for horror fiends who really want to see ...
Because, you know, it takes a village FULL of idiots to help make and then TAKE a movie away from John Carpenter WHILE he's editing it. John Carpenter's Village of the Damned is due for some appreciation. While no one can argue that Carpenter's best output ...
Arrow Video has simply outdone themselves with the blu-ray release of the first sequel to Stuart Gordon's hit horror-comedy Re-Animator. Seriously, stop reading this RIGHT NOW and go grab a copy of Bride of Re-Animator before this limited edition release is all gone ...
It begins in the snow. In a dramatic shot, a Stetson-wearing worker discovers a thick white substance bubbling up from the ground. Giant flanks of snow pepper his old face. He approaches it silently. Carefully. He can’t resist, though, sampling this marshmallow-looking ...
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part Two continues to divide people. I guess that’s how you know you might be onto to something really side-splitting and NEW. The ONLY way you can follow a classic of the horror genre is by making its sequel a straight-up comedy....
Sssssss is a magnificent B-movie whose appreciation starts with the fact that you actually have to hiss its title. It is a mad scientist movie about snakes; real snakes mind you. I can’t stress that aspect enough. While it might be fun enough for some to watch Battlestar ...
The Zero Boys is a forgotten entry in the horror genre. While it has the abandoned cabin in the woods and a group of horny teenagers out looking for a good evening of fun, The Zero Boys throws together several different genres and winds up creating a blended atmosphere ...
