La maldición del monasterio (1988)
Also known as The Curse of the Monestary, Blood Screams and The Bloody Monks, this starts with a whole bunch of minks dying to satisfy the blood urges of a demon or to steal gold or who knows what, but it’s non-stop monk death and you know me, I’m in for this movie as of immediately. Karen (Stacy […]
Chattanooga Film Festival: LandLocked (2021)
Are the movies trying to tell me something? I’ve watched multiple films in the last few weeks where people try to go back home again and set things right. This never works out. What am I to learn? Directed and written by Paul Owens, LandLocked brings his family into the film, playing fictionalized versions of themselves, […]
El Ataud del Vampiro (1958)
The Vampire’s Coffin is the sequel to El Vampiro, a movie that tool Universal monsters to Mexico and created a new way to see vampires. A graverobber named Manson (Yerye Beirute) has been hired by Dr. Marion to take the coffin of Conde Karol de Lavud (German Robles) back to the hospital, the very place where Marta […]
Chattanooga Film Festival: The Ones You Didn’t Burn (2022)
I’ve said it before, I’ll certainly say it again, but if your parent — who you have been estranged from — calls you repeatedly with strange messages and then they die and you need to set their affairs in order, just stay away. You don’t need the money, the aggravation or the supernatural onslaught. Nathan […]
Chattanooga Film Festival: Chicken House (2022)
Director and writer Cate Jones — she also made She’s the Eldest — comes from Lawton, Oklahoma, known — as her IMDB bio helpfully reminds us — for high crime, meth and an Army base. She left town as soon as she graduated and now makes movies. She’s also Cat, the new roommate in a house of […]
Tales from the Dark Side episode 3: “Pain Killer”
Harvey Turman (Lou Jacobi, a Canadian comedian who released “Al Tijuana and his Jewish Brass,” a comedic take on Herb Albert as a Yiddish bandleader and yes, that’s a real thing) has non-stop back pain that Dr. Roebuck (Farley Granger) believes is all caused by Harvey’s wife Nadine (Peggy Cass) and that if he kills […]
Rencor tatuado (2018)
Tattoo of Revenge is about Aida (Diana Lein), a woman who survived a home invasion that took the lives of her husband, her housekeeper and her unborn child.

Chattanooga Film Festival: Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes (2021)
Director Kevin Kopacka and co-writer Lili Villányi worked on an episode of the TV show DYLAN a few years ago, which is based on the same character from Cemetery Man. That makes perfect sense, as this film has style to spare. Dieter (Frederik von Lüttichau) and Margot (Luisa Taraz) have moved to a Gothic castle that would […]
Junesploitation 2022: BASEketball (1998)
June 24: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie— is lethal 90s comedy! We’re excited to tackle a different genre every day, so check back and see what’s next. David Zucker made Airplane!, Top Secret and The Naked Gun movies so we should really be forever forgiving everything he does, but he’s a pretty […]
