2021 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 20: Nightmare Castle (1965)
20. CASTLEMANIA: Something that takes place in, where else, a castle. A couple of months ago, I was doing my usual weekend of looking at used DVD stores when I noticed an older man staring at the stacks of used movies. He stopped and asked, “Do you mind if I ask you what movies I […]
Twist (2021)
Twist lives up to its title as a modern-day retelling of Oliver Twist, with Michael Caine as Issac “Fagin” Solomon, Rafferty Law as Twist, Lena Headey as Sikes, Rita Ora as Dodge, Noel Clarke as Brownlow, Jason Maza as Bedwin (Clarke and Maza co-produced the film), Franz Drameh as Batesey, Sophie Simnett as Nancy “Red” […]
Slasher Month: Biotherapy (1986)
Oh, the memories of hearing about this from my fellow comic book, heavy-metal lovin’ horror nerds, “Dude, you’ve got to check out Biotherapy! The comic store just got a new shipment of tapes!” Fifteen miles (one way) and a $5.99 rental fee, later — I’m in a VHS, analog-drunken stupor. I have no fucking idea […]

SLASHER MONTH: Slumber Party Massacre III (1990)
Directed by Sally Mattison and written by Catherine Cyran — all of the Slumber Party Massacre movies have been directed by women — this movie is probably the worst of the three films and a remake. It does have a character named The Beach Weirdo that somehow has a power drill that he carries around and uses […]
SLASHER MONTH: White of the Eye (1987)
Donald Cammell reportedly spent his childhood on the knee of Aleister Crowley, he went from a painter to a writer to a director. While a good chunk of his career was confounded by trying to make multiple movies with Marlon Brando, he did leave us with Demon Seed, Performance and this movie before killing himself with a […]
ARROW UHD RELEASE: Deep Red (1975)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We originally wrote about Argento’s Deep Red on November 9, 2018. Arrow’s truly landmark UHD release is something to celebrate, so we’ve updated and expanded this article to cover this must-have purchase. Deep Red is one of the few Argento movies that I’ve seen in a theater and the drive-in. It’s not the best […]
