MIDWEST WEIRDFEST: Woodland Grey (2021)
William (Ryan Blakely) has been living alone in a trailer deep in the woods when he finds Emily (Jenny Raven) unconscious and gets her back on her feet over several days. They’re a strange mix, as he’s silent and she can’t stop talking. But when she opens the shed behind his house, what she finds […]
CANNON MONTH: Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1981)
“We are not making an X-rated picture,” said executive producer and Cannon co-master of madness Yoram Globus. “This will be a cult film. Nudity depends on how you shoot it.” Star Sylvia Kristel said, “Just Jaeckin and I have been persecuted by this sort porn criticism. I don’t want to go through the same nightmare […]
CANNON MONTH: Death Wish 2 (1981)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Death Wish 2 is when Cannon seemed to finally start figuring it out. The public still wanted Bronson, they loved the original film and the Reagan 80s demanded blood for blood. Here’s how the sequel to a movie that probably didn’t need a sequel turned out. Paul Kersey can’t catch a break. Seriously, in […]
CANNON MONTH: The Secret of Yolanda (1982)
I’ll be honest: I can’t find this movie anywhere. But in my quest to cover every Cannon movie, I feel like it’s important to share an overview. Directed by Joel Silberg, who would direct Lambada, Breakin’ and Rappin’ for Cannon, as well as the pro wrestling movie Bad Guys, from a script by Ei Tavor, who wrote Lemon Popsicle, Going Steady, Hot […]
Ghost Story Episode 9: “Cry of the Cat”

CANNON MONTH: Boy Takes Girl (1982)
When two doctors from Tel Aviv join Doctors Without Borders, they end up going to Thailand and leaving their ten-year-old daughter Aya behind in a kibbutz (a communal settlement where all wealth is held in common and profits are reinvested) where the kids live together by age, not gender, meaning that she must go from being […]
Take Back the Night (2021)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We originally watched this movie as part of Salem Horror Fest on October 3, 2021 and are happy that it’s finally going to be playing select theaters and streaming from Dark Sky Films. Take Back the Night makes a pretty astounding choice as its main character Jane Doe isn’t completely heroic. I’ll explain in […]
