Blindsided (2018)
Originally titled Darker than the Night, this Canadian horror effort is all about Sloan Carter, a young girl who has recently been blinded. When her overprotective father leaves for the weekend, she and her two best friends, along with one of her father’s best students, decide to spend the night. But soon, their weeked is interrupted by […]
Ghosts of Mars (2001)
I love John Carpenter. However, the last of his films that I can 100% say that I enjoy with no reservations is 1994’s In the Mouth of Madness. After that, well, it gets a bit difficult to enjoy his movies — maybe it’s the budgets, perhaps he was burned out, maybe the studio heads were too […]
Space Trucker Bruce (2014)
Sam’s note: R.D Francis is back with another movie I’ve never seen. Imagine what that entails. Please enjoy! In the space of one of my favorite sci-fi movies, a breakthrough in gravity control allowed mankind to colonize the solar system . . . and someone has to haul the 20,000 pounds of Texco’s Iowa-bred hogfat-fuel from […]
The Chill Factor (1993)
Have you ever wondered, “What would happen if The Exorcist and the Winter Olympics came together in a 1980’s VHS rental horror film?” Good news. Arrow Video has brought back this barely seen film, originally known as Demon Possessed, for your viewing pleasure. This movie produced and directed by Christopher Webster (the producer of Hellraiser, Heathers, Meet the […]
Amityville Mt. Misery Road (2018)
Mt. Misery Road is a real place and this movie is inspired by real events. You know how that goes — many movies have bragged of the same thing. There supposedly was an insane asylum that burned down — perhaps caused by one of the women held there — and a white dress wearing ghost […]
Death Is A Number (1951)
Death Is A Number is one strange movie. It’s a combiantion of inserts, stock footage and still photos, all superimposed and layered on top of one another, along with a framing opening and close, that relates the curse that the number nine has placed upon a family, including the race car driving friend of the […]
Ground Rules (1997)
While the cover art suggests it, Ground Rules isn’t a post-nuke flick: it’s a present-day Rollerball-cum-Deathsport-cum-2072: The New Gladiators rip (without the budget) that reminds of the Rollerball 2002 remake — only this came first. It also reminds of George Romero’s Knightriders (1981) with its present-day, medieval-jousting knights on motorcycles, and that cable movie-inversion of […]
FM (1978)
Michael Brandon (Four Flies on Grey Velvet) stars as Jeff Dugan, the ultra-cool program director at Q-SKY Radio, LA’s number one rock station. Never mind the fact that the station has the frequency 71.1, which is impossible in the US as the FCC frequency range goes from 87.8 to 108.0. Also, in the US, there […]
Such a Funny Life (2019)
The Guiterrez family has moved to New York from “nowhere,” with David having to deal with the issues of his abusive father Ralph and mentally challenged mother Mariah. While he’s a loser in school and on the streets, he shines when it comes time to get up on the comedy stage. That’s the tale that Such […]
The Stranger Beside Me (2003)
The Stranger Beside Me is based on Ann Rule’s New York Times bestseller. Before she became a true crime writer, amazingly enough Ann became close friends with one of the most notorious serial killers — Ted Bundy. Ann Rule (Barbara Hershey, The Entity) is an ex-cop and single mother who volunteers on the suicide hotlines […]
