Stephen King week starts Monday
Sure, It is in theaters, but over the next week, we’re going to be watching some of the Stephen King movies that we really love — the ones that most people ignore. After all, isn’t that what we do best? Here’s what’s in store, starting Monday: Cat’s Eye – Three tales, all connected by one heroic […]
The Otherworld (2013)
So much of what I try to accomplish in exploring movies is to find the hidden, the moments that lie beneath the surface. To take what people have often labeled as trash, like genre films, and divine treasure. It’s my own alchemical way of trying to make life more than what it appears to be. […]
Bizarre (1970)
What happens when you combine British portmanteau films, William S. Burroughs cut-up techniques, 1970’s philosophy, British men’s magazines like Mayfair and throw in a mummy? You get a sheer burst of pure insanity like Bizarre. Also known as Secrets of Sex, the film starts with the story of a king who found his wife’s lover and trapped him […]
Cemetery Man (1994)
Throughout the 1990’s, Michele Soavi kept the traditions of Italian horror alive. Starting as an actor in films like Aliens 2: On Earth, City of the Living Dead, Demons and The New York Ripper, Soavi would also become an assistant director to greats such as Dario Argento (Tenebre, Phenomena), Lamberto Bava (Blastfighter and the previously mentioned Demons) and Terry Gilliam (The Adventures […]
Amityville II: The Possession (1982)
It doesn’t matter to me whether or not The Amityville Horror is truth or fiction. The truth is that the original film isn’t all that exciting. But the sequel? Holy shit — the sequel is pretty much everything you want in a movie — if you love movies filled with horrifyingly sick moments of glee. Damiano Damiani, […]
Dolls (1987)
Six people are stranded at a mansion in the English countryside — David Bower and Rosemary Bower (Carolyn Purdy-Gordon, wife of Stuart Gordon), two totally selfish and uncaring parents, and their daughter Judy. Plus, we have nice guy Ralph and two British punk rock hitchhikers, Isabel (played by Bunty Bailey, who starred in two landmark […]
Yor’s World: The Inspiration
I’m not ready to say goodbye to Yor just yet. Not when there’s one more thing left to share — the inspiration behind the film! Yor was adapted from an Argentine comic known as Henga el Cazador, which was republished in Italy as Yor. It was based on an original idea by the artist Juan Zanotto, […]
Yor’s World (1983) PART FOUR
I feel sad as I begin the final chapter of Yor’s World. It was as if I found a sequel to a movie that’s 34 years old, another part of the story that I never thought I would see. I put it off for some time. But now, I must return to the time of future […]
Yor’s World (1983) PART THREE
When we last left our friend Yor, he had decimated another group of people, found someone who had the same past as him and pissed off his girlfriend. Oh Yor, we can all identify with you, so we follow you in your journey as you try to figure out what the heck is going on. […]
Yor’s World (1983) PART TWO
The movie that we know and some of us love as Yor Hunter from the Future originated as an Italian miniseries. I’ve scored that piece of grade Z cinema treasure and am diving headfirst into all of the magic that it can produce. After a short recap, we return to the cave of the blue, well, […]
