2021 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 30: The Loved Ones (2009)
30. MARTINI SHOT: Blow off some Challenge steam with a hardy party scene. This movie is one big party but it is not that you’d want to be at. Brent is dealing with the death of his father — that he inadvertently caused when he swerved to miss a bloody man in the road — […]
SLASHER MONTH: Day of Judgement (1981)
Produced by the same Earl Ownsby that made the truly oddball Tales of the Third Dimension in 3D, this Wilmington, North Carolina curiosity makes the strange step of being one part slasher, one part Christian morality play. And man, what a strange tasting cocktail that is*. Director C.D.H. Reynolds and writer Tom McIntyre put together this […]
Slasher Month: 7 Sins of the Vampire (2013)
(I know: This is technically a “vampire” flick, but this chick removes hearts and penises after sucking ’em dry. That’s “slashy” enough for me!) Here’s the rub with 7 Sins of the Vampire: You’re watching and wondering why it looks the way that it does: like an ’80-era VHS SOV release — considering this came […]
SLASHER MONTH: Milo (1998)
Four young girls have just watched an innocent game turn into the murder of their classmate, the very strange Milo Jeeder. And yet sixteen ears later, the four come to a reunion where Milo remains the same age, even as they’ve grown up and moved away. Great set-up, nice appearances by Vincent Schiavelli and Antonio […]
SLASHER MONTH: Scissors (1991)
Frank De Felitta is all over the genre wavelength, directing the made for TV pseudo reality horror like The Stately Ghosts of England, bringing the slasher home with Dark Night of the Scarecrow and writing movies like Z.P.G., Audrey Rose and The Entity. Now, not to start this argument, but this movie seems like just as much a giallo as […]
SLASHER MONTH: Burial Ground Massacre (2021)
Why do I keep doing this to myself with all these post 80s slashers when I know that there’s a shot on video movie with low tone fuzz and horrible effects or an undiscovered by me direct to video mess that I’m actually going to enjoy? Well, consider me the Final Boy of these horrific […]
SLASHER MONTH: The Stay Awake (1987)
A South African slasher set in a Catholic girl’s school. The Stay Awake has a killer that is either a cat or a rat headed human being and you know, that’s the first time I’ve seen that in a movie, much less one where the slasher is felled by a thrown javelin. So, you know, despite […]
ARROW BLU RAY RELEASE: Legend (1985)
This Ridley Scott movie has always stood out from his other work to me, as it’s quite literally a children’s story about the most archetypical battle between the good of Jack (Tom Cruise) and evil of the Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry). Much like how the original fairy tales were incredibly dark, this movie is […]

For those film fans that have seen Edgar Wright’s fantastic Last Night In Soho they can now dive into more gialli, such as Mario Bava’s Five Dolls For An August Moon and […]
