FANTASTIC FEST: Eyes of Fire (1983)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We originally covered this film on January 26, 2020 and returned for another look later that day. It’s been a film never released on DVD and a much sought-after release, but with the release of the documentary Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror, Severin has put together a new 4K […]
Final Exit (1995)
Stop me if you’ve heard this on before. A Nobel Peace Prize winner, a convicted murderer and two professing Christian teenagers meet St. Peter at the Pearly Gates and, well, make a movie. Final Exit is an “evangelistic drama will confront your viewers with life’s most important choices: Jesus or Satan? Heaven or Hell?” Oh man, yeah. […]
Tubi Debut: Hub City, aka Compton’s Finest (2021)
I love exploring the retro-vibed, digital terrains of Tubi, as it takes me back to the simpler, analog days with a video membership card in my hand, perusing the shelves, examining the VHS sleeves for a Saturday afternoon of movie-binging. Needless to say, in today’s digital distribution realms endlessly supplied with films by way of […]
Revenge (1986) aka Blood Cult 2
Hey, there’s nothing like an “SOV Week” to inspire us to fill out the holes in B&S About Movies’ SOV database while we also polish off the unholy triumvirate of Christopher Lewis — the Julius Ceasar of the SOV domains — with Blood Cult, The Ripper, and the sequel to Blood Cult: Revenge. Ah, there’s […]
Cards of Death (1986)
I had several video store memberships back in the day — both with the chains (Blockbuster and Hollywood Video) an array of mom n’ pops — not counting the ones where I wasn’t a member that I’d road trip for a cut-out bin divin’ weekend (if I couldn’t find it as a rental, I’d buy […]
Invitation to Hell (1982)
No, not the 1984 Wes Craven-directed, Susan Lucci-starring Invitation to Hell — which is great — but instead the British 1982 SOV movie! Jackie has been invited to her high school reunion — which for some reason is a costume party, which I guess must be a British thing, UK readers please inform us — but because […]
The Burning Moon (1992)
Writer/director/FX artist Olaf Ittenbach must have been thinking, “No one has any idea what a SOV horror movie from Germany could do to peoples’ brains. Let’s change that.” He pushed things so far that this movie was banned for twenty years from the very nation that it came from, which is pretty astounding — and […]
Dead Things (1987)
Todd Sheets, who made Clownado, Dreaming Purple Neon and Ouija Death Trap, amongst many other movies, made this video short very early in his career. It tells the story of a bunch of drug dealers who escape into the woods, only to find that they’ve ended up dealing with a Satantic cult who has way worse plans for them […]
FANTASTIC FEST: Glasshouse (2021)
You think the pandemic we’ve had has been strange? Well, in the world of Glasshouse, an airborne dementia known as The Shred has left humanity adrift with no memories left inside their brains, unable to even remember who they are. Meanwhile, a family has remained inside their airtight glasshouse until a stranger arrives who changes — and […]
