MIDWEST WEIRDFEST: Do you see what I see? (2021)
Filmmaker Brad Abrahams has just a little more than twelve minutes to try and make sense of David Dees, an artist who once painted Sesame Street book covers until 9/11 and doing his own research led the artist to discover that there was another world — at least in his world — beneath the reality […]
MIDWEST WEIRDFEST: Crabs! (2021)
Imagine if Critters with crabs, shut your mind off and just have fun, because Crabs! was the kind of goofy fun I was looking for at the end of a long week. It’s prom night, a nuclear accident has turned some horseshoe crabs into death machines and things are about to get awesome. Phillip McCalister (Dylan Riley […]
MIDWEST WEIRDFEST: It Hatched (2021)
Mira (Vivian Ólafsdóttir) and Pétur (Gunnar Kristinsson) have left Nashville and are about to open an air bnb way out in the wilds of Iceland. Should be a peaceful escape, right? But something dark is there, something that won’t just stalk them in the daylight, something that makes Mira lay an egg and Pétur face […]
CANNON MONTH: Private Popsicle (1982)
After Lemon Popsicle, Going Steady and Hot Bubblegum, but before Baby Love, Up Your Anchor, Young Love: Lemon Popsicle 7 Summertime Blues and Lemon Popsicle: The Party Goes On and this movie’s side sequel Private Manuevers, what else was there to do but to join the Israeli army? That’s what Bobby, Benji and Hughie are up to next. I mean, there is […]
CANNON MONTH: Hospital Massacre AKA X-Ray (1982)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Cannon didn’t make all that many slashers, but here’s one that makes no sense and is, therefore, better for it. We first ran this during our yearly slasher marathon on October 6, 2020. How many names can one movie have? A bunch, because this is also known as X-Ray, Be My Valentine Or […]
CANNON MONTH: Body and Soul (1981)
All the way back in his teens, Leon Issac Kennedy was a DJ in Cleveland, a job that took him to Los Angeles and finally into two films with Fred Williamson, Hammer and Mean Johnny Barrows. By this point in his career, he’d already become a star as Martel “Too Sweet” Gordone in Jamaa Fanaka’s Penitentiary and had […]
CANNON MONTH: Enter the Ninja (1981)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Back during Junesploitation, we watched this on June 16, 2021. Our plans for a Cannon month started right then and there. This movie is everything great about the madness that is Cannon Films. Cannon Films need to be on our site more often, but that’s because I want to make sure that I […]
Mother Schmuckers (2021)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We originally watched this movie as part of Fantastic Fest on October 1, 2021. We’re re-rerunning this as the film is now playing in theaters. Issachar & Zabulon, two scumbag brothers, have lost just about everything including a place to get food, now that they’ve lost one more thing — January Jack, their […]
