Return of Daimajin (1966)
Never released theatrically in the United States — it was shown on TV by American-International Pictures in 1967 — the second film in the trilogy finds Daimajin concerns an evil lord who takes over the villages of Chigusa and Nagoshi. He also shatters the statue of Daimajin with gunpowder, sending what’s left of the spirit to the bottom […]
Legend of the Werewolf (1975)
No matter what you think of this movie, you have to give it up for the poster. This is truly one of my all-time favorite movie posters of all time, one that punches you in the face and says, “You’re gonna watch this werewolf movie!” It has a different origin story than a normal werewolf […]
15 Things You Didn’t Know About Bigfoot (#1 Will Blow Your Mind) (2019)
Originally known as The VICE Guide to Bigfoot, this tells the tale of a clickbait journalist — in case you missed it in the title — who goes to the Appalachian mountains to report on a Bigfoot convention.

Chris Smith wakes up in an English hospital after a car accident, unable to recall much […]

This poliziotteschi is a sequel to another Umberto Lenzi film, 1976’s The Tough Ones, with Maurizio Merli playing the role of Inspector […]
Curse of the Crimson Altar (1968)
I’ll be perfectly honest. This could have been the worst movie ever made and you put Barbara Steele in green body paint and I’ll watch it anyway. Luckily, it’s a pretty great movie. Director by Vernon Sewell (The Blood Beast Terror) and written by Mervyn Haisman (Dr. Who, Jane and the Lost City) and Henry Lincoln (who […]
