DEADLY GAME SHOWS: Death Race 2000 (1975)
There are people that say there’s no such thing as a perfect movie. Those people have never seen Death Race 2000, a film that’s packed with pop culture references, ultraviolence, black humor, political commentary and great character moments. After the “World Crash of ’79”, the United States government declares martial law. To keep the people happy, […]
Bram Stoker’s Shadowbuilder (1988)
Remember how awesome the video store was? MVD sure does and their Rewind Collection series is here to celebrate “cult classics and more from the video store” with blu ray and DVD collector’s sets loaded with special features. Many of the films in this series — which are numbered and come in a slipcase that […]
DEADLY GAME SHOWS: Gamer (2009)
From the first scene in this film, a journey across the world with propaganda messages across familiar landmarks and a gun battle that feels like a First Person Shooter, Gamer feels way more dated than a movie that came out nine years ago. Gamer is a world of what the late 90’s and early 2000’s saw […]
An interview with Matt Frame, the creator of Camp Death III in 2D!
We had a blast watching Camp Death III in 2-D! this week and had the feeling that whoever made it did so with a genuine love for the horror (and slasher) genre. Instead of assuming, we did our homework and did this interview with writer/boom operator/sound editor/director/editor/cinematographer/visual effects/producer and even actor (he was Scrotar the […]
Goldstone (2016)
Three years after successfully exposing the corruption in his hometown in the film Mystery Road, Indigenous Detective Jay Swan’s next case takes him to the mining town of Goldstone to find a missing tourist. What he finds is even more corruption and deceit than before. Jay is no saint — he’s drunk the moment he pulls into […]
DEADLY GAME SHOWS: Deathrow Gameshow (1987)
I hate Troma movies. I don’t give a fuck who gets upset by that fact. They’re puerile and poorly produced pieces of pablum. And if they were created to be real movies instead of with an eye to be goofy, I’d probably like them. I mean, I love Burial Ground, but I don’t think anyone set out […]
DEADLY GAME SHOWS: The Gong Show Movie (1980)
It’s hard for me to explain the cultural behemoth that The Gong Show was when it debuted. Originally airing on NBC from June 14, 1976 to July 21, 1978 (and in first-run syndication from 1976 to 1980), the show was basically a talent contest with celebrity judges that graded the talent and could gong — meaning they’d have […]
Camp Death III in 2D! (2018)
One of the coolest parts of doing this site is having filmmakers reach out to us. For example, this email: “My name is Matt Frame, director of ‘Camp Death III in 2D!’ Enjoyed your Friday the 13th Part III review and thought my film might be up your alley. It’s a comedy/horror parody of ‘Friday […]
Contamination (1980)
As a large ship drifts into New York City, you may wonder, “Am I watching Zombi?” No, you’re watching Contamination or Alien Contamination, but the similarities may be international. Both films shared the same production offices and director Luigi Cozzi (Starcrash, Hercules) was so impressed that he wanted to hire the same cast, but only ended up with […]
DEADLY GAME SHOWS: Turkey Shoot
Australia. Not far from now. In Camp 47, social deviants are sent to be re-educated. But more likely, they’re about to end up as cannon fodder for a government-sponsored turkey shoot, as the rich and powerful will finally get the chance to hunt the ultimate game — man. Also known as Escape 2000 and Blood Camp Thatcher, this […]
