Amityville Vampire (2021)
Look, I’ve seen enough Amityville movies now that it takes a lot to surprise me. But the fact that this was directed and co-written by Tim Vigil knocked me out. Tim Vigil may not be a huge name to you, but those that loved black and white outlaw comics know and revere his name. Starting […]
Mill Creek Drive-In Classics Wrap Up!
You know the drill! To gear up for Halloween, we crack open a Mill Creek box of fifty movies — then post those reviews throughout November. The Mill Creek madness began with their Chilling Classics set in 2018 and we also did the Pure Terror set in 2019. For 2020, we jammed on the Sci-Fi […]
Curse of the Black Lagoon (2018) and Unfollower (2020)
Director Milko Davis’s most recent effort was 2019’s Jurassic Thunder; his latest, Phantom Patrol, is in post-production. He was four films into his self-made indie career (his first was 2007’s Raiders of the Damned) with this tale about a researcher (Davis mainstay Elvis Sharp) cursed by his encounter with a mermaid-like creature deep in the […]
MILL CREEK DRIVE-IN CLASSICS: Moon of the Wolf (1972)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We originally watched this on August 26, 2020 in the midst of a werewolf heavy seven days. We can’t argue having a TV movie on a drive-in box set, but Mill Creek, we still love you. Daniel Petrie made some pretty much films — Fort Apache the Bronx, A Raisin in the Sun and The Betsy — […]
Mill Creek Drive-In Classics: Spare Parts (1979)
One look at the theatrical one-sheet and you’re thinking of the Larry Cohen-penned and directed The Ambulance (1990) starring Eric Roberts. Of course you are: it’s Larry friggin’ Cohen! Hmmm . . . an “Exploring: Ambulance Movies” featurette covering flicks like the Harvey Keitel-fronted comedy Mother, Jugs & Speed (1976), the Playboy “Playmate of the […]
Amityville Vibrator (2020)
Look, if all director and writer Nathan Rumler (Fangboner, Gay for Pray: The Erotic Adventures of Jesus Christ) had done was write this movie’s tagline, “For God’s sake, get off!” and never even made the movie, we’d be fine. However, I made a deal with a lesser demon to get Arrow blu rays for free, which […]
Mill Creek Drive-In Classics: Katie Tippel (1975)
“The beauty of [a] Mill Creek box set is discovering a movie that you would otherwise never find.” — Sam Panico, in his review of fellow the “Drive-In Classics” entry, Throw Out the Anchor Sure, by way of his string of hits with Robocop (1987), Total Recall (1990), and Basic Instinct (1992), we’re all fans […]
ARROW BLU RAY RELEASE: Mill of the Stone Women (1960)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We originally featured this movie on September 15, 2021, but now that Arrow has released an astounding blu ray of this movie, it’s time that we go back and add some content so that this disk gets the recognition that it demands. Director Giorgio Ferroni’s career ended when he went deaf in 1972. […]
The Jar (1984)
In the tradition of Curse of the Blue Lights, Manchurian Avenger, Mind Killer, Night Vision, and The Spirits of Jupiter, here’s another, early ’80s homegrown effort from the wilds of Denver, Colorado. Sure, there are other, obscure Mile Highers to review, such as Savage Water (1979), Lansky’s Road (1985), and Back Street Jane (1989), but […]
The Amityville Harvest (2020)
The Amityville Harvest might be set in Amityville — which is more than so many in the series can say — but it also has a vampire that encounters a documentary crew so it was none of that whole “is it supernatural or not?” questions that the series usually deals with. Then again, there have […]
