My Childhood, My Country: 20 Years in Afghanistan (2021)
Talk about a release that’s of the moment. My Childhood, My Country: 20 Years in Afghanistan was made by Phil Grabsky (who produced and directed several of the Exhibition On Screen films and an early version of this story called The Boy Mir in 2011) and Shoaib Sharifi (who has worked on several films in Afghanistan) to tell the […]
HipBeat (2020)
When asked of how HipBeat was inspired, director Samuel Kay Forrest said, “HipBeat is based on true events from my sibling’s experiences as well as myself and friends. It is a fictional narrative scripted film that has moments of realism because we really shot at protests in the film and trains. Everything else in the film […]
Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm (1998)
Remember how Radu fell off a castle, landed in a tree and burned up? Well, he was able to make it out alive just as everyone else from the last movie died in a car crash except for, of course, Michelle, who is saved by Ana, who takes her to the mysterious Dr. Nicolescu, who […]
The Wife in the Window (2003)
I was thinking that this movie was worse than some of the sub-VCA adult films that I endured in my teens, back in the days before gonzo when every single porn had to actually have a story that you suffered through. This all makes sense when watching this movie, because I could tell that Bill […]
Bloodlust: Subspecies III (1994)
Michelle (Denice Duff) — who we last saw in Bloodstone: Subspecies 2 being grabbed by the mummified mother of Radu Vladislas (Anders Hove) and pulled deep into the catacombs beneath the Full Moon castle. Now, Radu is brought back to life with Michelle’s blood and the dagger that killed him, with our heroine promising to follow Radu […]
Filmgore (1983)
Before Full Moon was endlessly re-releasing and remixing their own movies, they were taking other films, getting Forrest J. Ackerman and Ken Dixon (who directed and was behind the other Full Moon-related remix movies Zombiethon, Famous T&A and the Best of Sex and Violence) to write a whole bunch of labored puns and having the good sense of hiring […]

Trancers 4: Jack of Swords (1994)
Filmed at the same time as Trancers 5: Sudden Deth in the Full Moon castle — how did they avoid it for so long — this Trancers movie finds Jack Deth without his wife Lena and having lost his other wife Alice to Harris. So now, all alone and angry at everything, he agrees to go into the […]
When I’m a Moth (2019)
“A parable on the ambiguity of political narratives. Possibly an “un-biopic” of Hillary Rodham set in 1969 Alaska. Possibly a collective dream about a young woman with only the most abstract connection to the politician. Possibly both.” How can you not be fascinated after reading that? In 1969, Hillary Clinton was just Hilary Rodham and […]
