SLASHER MONTH: Sledgehammer (1983)
You know, David A. Prior has beaten me so many times, I wonder why I even come back. I just know I’m going to get hurt again and just look at the art for this movie, the worst video box I’ve ever seen, a cover so poor that it’s stopped me from watching this numerous […]
House of Lost Souls (1989)
Hell yeah this is Ghosthouse 3 and it is filled with all the magic and absolutely baffling things that make the original film something that I love like others feel appreciation for fine paintings or great food. Directed and written by Umberto Lenzi, this movie has the most basic of outlines, as a group of people […]
EXPLORING: Movies with Ouija boards in them
My mother told me at a young age not to fuck with Ouija boards and as a result, I never have. I have, however, watched plenty of movies that feature the spirit board and I figured that since I haven’t seen an all-inclusive list online that I’d start one. If I missed any, please […]
Dinner with a Vampire (1989)
My expectations may be lowered, but I tend to like Lamberto Bava’s TV efforts — Graveyard Disturbance and The Ogre are two examples — more than his theatrical movies. Four actors — Gianni (Riccardo Rossi, the Italian voice of Simba in The Lion King), Rita (Patrizia Pellegrino), Monica (Yvonne Sciò, who was in the Tal Bachman video for […]
Cthulu Mansion (1990)
After a drug deal gone wrong, the criminals take a magician named Chandu and his daughter hostage and take them back to his mansion, a place where his obsession with the gods of the ancient times has gone a bit out of his control and now, well, everyone is going to pay. Sure, its a […]
Door Into Silence (1992)
The last movie Lucio Fulci would direct, this came about when The Godfather of Gore — at the time, less in a stately role and he was a man suffering from physical, mental and financial trauma — was approached by Aristide Massaccesi (one of the many names for the man we usually call Joe D’Amato*) who […]
Ten Antichrist Movies That Aren’t The Omen
During the earliest days of the site, we put together a loose, in no particular order, Top Ten listing of “Ten Possession Movies that Aren’t The Exorcist.” We’ve since teased, on a few occasions, we’d do a list to honor the Italian and Spanish film industry’s next favorite horror film to copy: The Omen. Well, […]
Something Weird (1967)
You know, if Herschell Gordon Lewis only made his nudie movies or just the gore, he’d be celebrated still, but for my money, the real good Lewis movies are the ones that almost frighten you by their incoherence or ability to fully create a world that is unlike any we will ever live in, like […]
Wicked World (1991)
I had the revelation that Things was only the torture test for this film, the gateway drug, the get past this excess to enter the doors of perception because Wicked World takes all the bonkers intensity of that film and somehow compounds it. Grant Ekland (director Barry J. Gillis) is a cop who is haunted by the […]
Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight II (2021)
Imagine my joy that as soon as I finished watching Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight that I learned that the sequel was coming. My happiness was increased when this movie completely flipped the script, taking this film well and far away from its 80s slasher origins and into a brave, funny and new place. I’m very […]
