Old (2021)
There was a time that people wanted to give M. Night Shyamalan the title of our generation’s Rod Serling, but as time goes on, his films have gone from Twilight Zone to Outer Limits to Tales from the Darkside in quality and now, they hover somewhere around stories that even shows like Monsters would say, “Well, that seems pretty […]
Candyman (2021)
Someone on my social feeds posted the other day that they still couldn’t get this movie out of their mind days after watching it and I wondered, “Where did they get the version of this film that I so desperately wanted to see?” Because after what feels like years of delays, this film finally was […]

Director and co-writer Andrzej Żuławski’s only English language film, Possession is the only section 2 video nasty that has a lead actress, Isabelle Adjani, who won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Massacre Mafia Style (1974)
As a well-raised Italian boy, I have watched plenty of mob-related movies, both domestic and foreign, from the expected films like The Godfather and Goodfellas to the poliziotteschi of the country of my origins, but I have to tell you, nobody who acts in those movies — with the exception of perhaps Lenny Montana — so seems […]
The Devil in Maddalena (1971)
I got a package in the mail the other day from One 7 Movies and man, I’m glad I’m the one that opened it and not my wife, as it contained two bursts of scummy cinema that I’d be explaining for weeks. I didn’t ask for this but when someone sends me something, I feel […]
