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. While the movie starts out making fun of sites like, well, VICE, it soon becomes yet another film where […]
Hysteria (1965)
Produced by Hammer and released by MGM, this Freddie Francis-directed movie is kinda sorta a nascent giallo, in that a foreigner in a strange land must overcome amnesia and solve a crime that the police are ineffectual at investigating. Chris Smith wakes up in an English hospital after a car accident, unable to recall much […]
Junesploitation 2021: The Cynic, the Rat and the Fist (1977)
June 29: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie— is gangsters. In Italy, they call this movie Il cinico, l’infame, il violento, which means The Cynic, the Infamous, the Violent. 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 […]
Junesploitation 2021: Street Law (1974)
June 28: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie — is free. Il cittadino si ribella (The Citizen Rebels) finds Franco Nero getting beaten down by muggers, so he goes looking for his own justice, only to get beat down even worse until he finally learns how to get revenge. This […]
Daimajin (1966)
Produced by Daiei Film, this is the first film in a trilogy of movies that are all somewhat similar, made with different directors and the same crew, shot at the same time. Daimajin is a spirit that has been trapped inside a mountain who is struggling to emerge. As the villagers pray at a shrine, […]
Norman J. Warren Week: Spaced Out, aka Outer Touch (1979)
“Computer’s Log: Star Date 6969: Space, Space, Space. I’m sick of schlepping through space. I though it would be exciting to boldly go where no computer has gone before. To check out strange, new galaxies and kinky, new life forms. But noooo. I’m stuck, here, on this spaceship with three crazy chicks. All they do […]
Norman J. Warren Week: Inseminoid, aka Horror Planet (1981)
Editor’s Note: We featured this film in our two featurette overviews written by Sam Panico, the proprietor of B&S About Movies, on the rash of Alien-inspired films of the ’80s — “Ten Movies that Ripoff Alien” and “A Whole Bunch of Alien Ripoffs All at Once” — as well as his third part of our […]
Norman J. Warren Week: Bloody New Year (1987)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This review originally ran on October 30, 2019. Now it’s back for our celebration of Norman J. Warren. Also known as Time Warp Terror, this movie was inspired by 1950’s horror films. On this island where the kids get trapped, it’s always 1959. It also has the band Cry No More all over it, […]
