Demons (1985)
They will make cemeteries their cathedrals and the cities will be your tombs. With that line, you know that what you’re about to watch better be the most mind-blowing horror film possible. Good news — Demons is all of that and then some, the kind of movie that has everything that I watch movies for. I can’t […]
Uninvited (1988)
I love George Kennedy and want to state for the record that he deserved way better than this film, which is a total piece of shit. That said, I’ve proved time and again that my favorite movies to watch are mostly made out of fecal matter, so let’s dish. Genetic Laboratories has decided to create […]
Rabid (1977)
I’ve stayed away from talking about David Cronenberg movies on here because, well, better and smarter people have already done so. After all, there’s an entire zine devoted to discussing his works, House of Skin. And friend of the site Bill Van Ryn has already written an incredibly well-written appreciation of this one. But hey — I […]
The Mutilator (1985)
There isn’t a better slasher film tagline than “By sword, by pick, by axe, bye bye.” So how does the movie that it’s promoting live up to it? Young Ed Jr. is cleaning his dad’s guns as a birthday surprise and accidentally shoots his mother. Big Ed never forgives him. So of course, when Ed Jr. […]
Tourist Trap (1979)
According to It Came from the 80s!: Interviews with 124 Cult Filmmakers, Tourist Trap was originally going to be directed by John Carpenter. However, co-writer J. Larry Carroll was unhappy with how much he wanted, so he nominated his writing partner David Schmoeller (Puppetmaster and the movie that led to Please Kill Mr. Kinski, Crawlspace) to direct. Along the […]
Cam-Girl (2016)
Cam-Girl sounds like it’s going to be a sexploitation film. Instead, it’s a low budget thriller where one actress has to carry 99% of the running time by talking on the telephone. How does that work out? Gessica (Erin Cline) lives two lives. By day, she’s a student struggling to pay her mortgage and keep up with […]
Cool World (1992)
“History is written by winners, baby. So let’s make a little of our own tonight. If you’re thinkin’ my idea of fun is a drag, then you’ve never been to paradise. Do my kisses burn? Do they take your breath? You’ve got a lesson to learn, now. I’m the kiss of death.” There was a time in the mid-90’s […]
Frightmare (1974) vs. Frightmare (1983)
There are two movies named Frightmare. Both are enjoyable on their own merits, despite the fact that Prism re-released the 1974 film as a sequel to the 1983 one, which makes no sense. Whether you choose an older British cannibal or a movie star who seems to defy death, both films are quite entertaining. Consider […]
The Incantation (2018)
Lucy Bellerose has come to the Loire Valley in France on vacation but has ended up inheriting a chateau that’s inspired all manner of local legends and fears. What happens when a girl addicted to social media ends up confronting the unknown? If we learned anything from Dan Brown ripping off Holy Blood, Holy Grail — […]
Saturday the 14th Strikes Back (1988)
Eddie and his family have just inherited a frightening house that was built over the doorway to Hell. And then Eddie finds out that he has another inheritance: the title of the evil master of the world. What would you do if you finally had all the power you ever craved? A sequel in name, […]
