It is essentially a cheaper version of Ridley Scott’s Alien, but underwater. That’s the best description of The Rift (aka Endless Descent). This knock-off is only one of the several underwater exploitative films that were rushed out from almost every studio – no matter ...
Joan Crawford. Her name alone invokes images of all sorts. F. Scott Fitzgerald considered her THE ORIGINAL flapper. She was a dancer, a radio talent, an actress, but, above everything else, she was a force of nature. She alone made herself a star. No one else ...

There are few things MORE terrifying to me than an exaggerated Richard Nixon mask. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s the extended nose or the heavily-lined cheeks, but it just creeps me the fuck out. In fact, it might be the single most terrifying thing that I know of. You’re aware of ...
Garden shears. It had to be garden shears. Ho! Ho! Ho! Let the stabbing begin! Written and directed by Todd Nunes, All Through The House is a Christmas-themed slasher that makes for a better trailer than it does a movie. I’m not saying that, as far as independent ...

Kitty’s back on the cell block! Woot! Woot! Let the sweat-dripping orgies begin! Violence in a Women’s Prison, originally released in 1982, is a damn ugly exploitation flick. Even when you lower the bar when it comes to Women in Prison flicks, this ...
The hospital shootout is always the first thing people mention when Hard Boiled is mentioned. And honestly, how could it not be? It’s not just a firefight—it’s chaos turned into art.

Have Sword, Will Travel is highlighted by a rousing finale which makes the journey through this love triangle absolutely worth it.

Drugs are bad, mmkay? The third film directed by Tong Kai, one of the greatest Kung-Fu choreographers to have worked with the Shaw Brothers, is a masterpiece. And you thought martial arts couldn’t be moving?! How wrong you are. The tragedies in this film are unyielding as the leader of the ...

In which an abacus becomes a weapon! Inviting a muscle-strapped cat named the ‘Spearman’ (Lung Tung Sheng) to a peace party is not a good idea. Okay, sure, the various members of the ‘Iron Flag’ clan have their reasons not to trust the criminal-minded ‘Eagles’, but the strongarm they hired is not ...
New Fist of Fury could have been so much better. Sure, it was the film that began to launch its star, Jackie Chan, into the martial arts stratosphere but it’s not nearly as smooth sailing as the original film, made 5 years earlier, by the same director, Lo Wei, who was convinced Jackie was the ...
Gloriously over-the-top and wonderfully directed by Sun Chung, Human Lanterns is what happens when the Shaw Brothers merge their particular brand of martial arts with the American slasher . . . and this violent result is as disturbing as it sounds. It helps when the leading character is psychotic, you ...

Not for the faint of heart, Masked Avengers, once again directed by Chang Cheh, features three of the “venoms” in some ...
In which Philip Kwok has to wear one of the most ridiculous-looking (possibly) knitted caps throughout the entire film! Whatever it is, it’s horrible. House of Traps might be for “Venom” completists only. Oh, sure, if you can follow the twisting plot you’ll get side-switching ...
In which Angela Miao, Whang Ing-Sik and Sammo Hung (in the roles of Yu Ying, Kao and Fan), coming from a small Korean school of Martial Arts, all take turns breaking boards and cracking skulls with their Japanese competitors! And all they wanted was to start a school of their own! ...
