Terror House (1972)
Whatever you call it — Terror House, Terror at Red Wolf Inn or Folks at Red Wolf Inn — this 1972 horror comedy is one strange film. It makes a nice double or triple feature companion for a few other movies from the early 70’s like The Baby and Messiah of Evil. They’re horror, sure, but they also all […]
The Refuge (2019)
A getaway driver finds himself in harm’s way when he gets in over his head, thanks to a casino heist, in The Refuge, a new crime thriller written and directed by Keith Sutliff (The Mason Brothers), who also stars in the film. Can he survive the experience? Markus Hunter lives alone, his reputation taking him all […]
The Believers (1987)
Based on Nicholas Conde’s book The Religion, The Believers is a movie that often goes where other films have the sense — or good taste — not to. Cats with their heads cut off, goats being killed, the bodies of kids being found sacrificed in rituals — if you’re coming into this one expecting a fun […]
ANOTHER TAKE ON: The New York Ripper (1982)
Gorgeous is not a word one would associate with a film as brutal and infamous as The New York Ripper, but here we are. For all the squalor, vice and viscera that the movie displays, somehow the new Blue Underground 4K reissue of the film is also awash in deeper colors, sharper resolution and more clarity. […]
Hi-Death (2018)
From the makers of 2013’s Hi-8, this movie promises five new twisted tales showcasing the talents of both veteran and emerging horror filmmakers. It all starts when two young women take the “Terror Tour” through the underbelly of Hollywood, leading them into a world of pure horror. This opening is written and directed by Brad Sykes, who was behind the […]
Radioactive Dreams (1985)
“My name’s Philip, and this is going to be a yarn about me and my pal, Marlowe. About the day we got out of this shelter and went off into the post-nuclear world. Now, as excited as we were about leaving the shelter, it was still a joint that held fond memories. I mean, it […]
Carnival Magic (1981)
Al Adamson should have never made a children’s film. This is the man who made Psycho a Go-Go, two different softcore movies with flying hostesses (The Naughty Stewardesses and Blazing Stewardesses), the staggering Dracula vs. Frankenstein and a Filipino horror movie that was dubbed, tinted in neon hues and released as Horror of the Blood Monsters. And oh, by […]
Mystics In Bali (1981)
You think that American genre cinema is the absolute peak of weirdness? You study Italian horror, post-armageddon movies from the Philippines and Japanese musicals about murderous families and you think you’ve seen it all. Then you discover this movie, straight out of Indonesia, where low-budget exploitation films like this — that said, there’s no real movie […]
How To Get…Revenge (1989)
Thanks to the Found Footage Festival, I discovered this completely psychotic video that promises to teach you how to get revenge. Keep in mind that even though host Linda Blair is going to be bringing you the best advice you’ve ever had on getting even, this is for entertainment purposes only. I say that because nearly […]
SFX Retaliator (1987)
Take Chris Mitchum (son of Robert, star of The Day That Time Ended, Faceless, Bigfoot and, perhaps most astoundingly, Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Tusk). Add a bit of Gordon Mitchell, who played Colonel Morgan in Endgame, Dr. Frankenstein in Frankenstein ’80 and Igor in Frankenstein’s Castle of Freaks. Grab a recipe for a movie already made. Let’s say, FX. Make it in the Philippines […]
