Evil Under the Skin (2019)
A mother and daughter have decided that a weekend away would be the best way for them to reconnect. So they head off to a house in the woods, unaware that this is a place that attracts only the worst in people. Basically — never ever take a vacation. Originally called Fake Flowers, this stars Helene […]
2020 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 5: Postal (2007)
DAY 5. GOING POSTAL: Something involving the postal service or shipping or getting a delivery. #savetheups Isn’t it amazing that we have to fight to keep our postal service going? Honestly, every day that I wake up in 2020, indignity after indignity piles up until I can’t believe I’m not watching a horrible movie. Clever […]
SLASHER MONTH: Hellmaster (1992)
Sometime in the late 1960’s, Professor Jones (John Saxon) was involved in an MK Ultra-style eugenics experiment. Wondering what eugenics is?

Just think of Eddie Quist’s apartment or the home of the Sawyer family. Burns’ artistic eye made all […]

Back in the early ’90s, when it came to SOV productions released direct-to-VHS, writer-director Dennis Devine (2020’s Camp Blood 8 and 2019’s The Haunting of La Llorona) was a name you could trust to give you the goods. Problem was, his stuff was impossible to find on video store shelves—surely not at a Blockbuster, but […]
SLASHER MONTH: Buio Omega (1979)
I love Joe D’Amato. I can’t hide my devotion and even when his movies descend into outright exploitation, I love him even more. This is probably his best film — a remake of the 1966 film The Third Eye — that he would talk down by saying, “I personally opted for the most unrestrained gore, […]
