2022 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 23: Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows (2000)
23. PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY: In Psychotronic Challenge, the land haunts YOU! Hopefully that joke, ahem, landed okay. Folk it. You know, I hate the first Blair Witch Project movie so I was assured that I’d despise this, a movie that utterly bombed at the box office and seemed to make no one happy. But you know, it totally worked. Sequels are […]
SLASHER MONTH: Don’t Fuck In the Woods (2016)
This movie is a worked up 15 year old who reads Fangoria and has never seen a woman naked in person and I want to be its friend. It’s only an hour long with 13 minutes of credits and bloopers, but it knows what you want: breasts, beasts and blood. Shawn Burkett directed and wrote this […]
SLASHER MONTH: Blade the Iron Cross (2020)
We’re back to the Axis universe of these movies and psychic war journalist Elisa (Tania Fox) builds a telepathic link to Blade and together, they fight to stop the Germans from developing a Nazi death ray. Directed by John Lechago and written by Brockton McKinney and Neal Marshall Stevens, this continues the ESP angle of […]
THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE DAY 22: Day of the Cobra (1980)
22. A Horror Film that Michele Soavi Appears In. I’m trying to do all new movies for this challenge which makes this hard because I’ve already had so many Michele Soavi movies that he acted in on the site, like Alien 2: On Earth, City of the Living Dead, Absurd, The New York Ripper, Tenebre, Caligula…The Untold Story, A Blade In […]
2022 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 22: The Untold (2002)
22. FURGET ABOUT PATTERSON & GIMLIN: Watch a non-American sasquatch movie. Also known as Sasquatch, this Canadian Sasquatch movie was directed and written by Jonas Quastel. It has Lance Henriksen as Harlan Knowles, the President and CEO of Bio-Comp Technologies. Along with Marla Lawson (Andrea Roth), an insurance person because that’s exciting and kids love underwriters, he’s searching […]
SLASHER MONTH: Skinned Deep (2004)
The Surgeon General (Kurt Carley) is really the coolest looking slasher I’ve seen in so long. Also: this movie is absolutely deranged, but what else should I expect from Gabriel Bartalos, who also made Saint Bernard which is somehow even stranger than this. I also love any movie that has Warwick Davis play a character named Plates […]
SLASHER MONTH: Terror Train (2022)
A lot of slashers came out in 1980 and maybe Terror Train isn’t as fondly remembered by some, but for those that are fans — like, well, your author — it works because you truly feel as if you’re on a train. You also get some incredible scenery and a killer that keeps shifting disguises, all […]
ARROW BOX SET RELEASE: Gothic Fantastico: Four Italian Tales Of Terror
Sure, when you think of gothic Italian horror, you probably instantly think of Mario Bava. Yet other filmmakers — like the four in this new set from Arrow — show that when it comes to the gothic, no one does it like Italy: Massimo Pupillo’s Lady Morgan’s Vengeance: Romance and mystery. Sadism and the supernatural. […]
ARROW BOX SET RELEASE: Gothic Fantastico: The Witch (1966)
Damiano Damiani is a name held in high regard if only for one film, the most Italian movie ever made by a major U.S. studio, Amityville II: The Possession. Based on the book Aura by Carlos Fuentes, Damiani wrote the script with Ugo Liberatore. Sergio Logan (Richard Johnson) is a womanizing cad who notices an old […]
ARROW BOX SET RELEASE: Gothic Fantastico: The Third Eye (1966)
Mino (Franco Nero) is a wealthy nobleman and oddly enough taxidermist living under the domineering rule of his mother (Olga Solbelli) who decides to escape by marrying his fiancée Laura (Erika Blanc, pretty much the queen of Italian gothic horror). This also upsets his maid Marta (Gioia Pascal), who cuts the brakes on Mino’s car. She […]
