Severed Ties (1991)
This third and final movie by Fangoria magazine’s film shingle, produced in conjunction with Columbia Pictures, who wanted to get into the home video horror market, wants to be to the ‘90s what Basket Case and Re-Animator (in particular) were to video renters in the ‘80s. And while Severed Ties doesn’t measure up (does any […]
The Brain (1988)
“It’s a brain. Not an animal.” — Dr. Anthony Blake Warning! This Canuxploitation shocker carries the Shapiro-Glickenhaus Entertainment seal of approval.

If you haunted the video store shelves of the […]
The Hostage (1967)
Lots of Henry Farrell’s stories got turned into movies. Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte, Such A Gorgeous Kid Like Me, How Awful About Allan, The House That Would Not Die, What’s the Matter with Helen?, The Eyes of Charles Sand and, most famously, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? His first book, The Hostage, was turned in to this low budget […]

And I can’t think of another film more fitting than Dohler’s third film, Nightbeast, to slide into the VHS shelf between Crown International’s Terror in the Jungle*—the worst jungle flick […]

Terror in the Jungle (1968)*
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This post originally ran way back in November 2019 as part of our Pure Terror month. If there’s one thing Mill Creek Entertainment knows, it’s being green and recycling. If you’re a fan of their sets like I am, you soon realize that you often have the same movie multiple times on multiple sets. After […]
