Unknown Powers (1978)
Directed by Don Como (World of the Unknown, The Unknown Force), this is three episodes of a canceled TV series that had Jack Palance, Samantha Eggar, Will Geer and Roscoe Lee Brown as the hosts. It’s your typical mid-70s paranormal BS, except then there’s this credit that says “All of the following scenes were filmed within […]
TUBI ORIGINAL: Battle of the Beasts: Bigfoot vs. Yeti (2022)
This Tubi exclusive, directed by Adam Meyer, who also wrote Tubi’s Scariest Monsters in America, is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever watched and I say that with sheer affection. I mean, I’ve had this same debate stoned: who would win, Bigfoot or a Yeti? They gather a bunch of people like video game creators, […]
SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE: Sissy (2022)
Cecilia (Aisha Dee) and Emma (Hannah Barlow, who co-directed and co-wrote this with Kane Senes) were best friends ten years ago, but life — and something horrifying that we see in a flashback, one of the absolute grossest effects I think I’ve seen in some time — had them move apart. They run into each […]
SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE: She Will (2021)
The first film directed by Charlotte Colbert, who co-wrote the script with Kitty Percy, She Will has Alice Krige as film star Veronica Ghent, who is recovering from a double mastectomy at what she believes is an exclusive retreat with her nurse Desi Hatoum (Kota Eberhardt). Years ago, when Veronica was just a child, she appeared […]
Tomb of Torture (1963)
I love that at one point Italian gothic horror was getting imported to America regularly. Like this movie, known as Metempsyco over there and directed by one and done Antonio Boccacci who was mostly a paperback writer. Shot in sepia tone, it stars Annie Alberti — a one-time fumetti novel star — as Anna Darnell, who is […]
The Brides Wore Blood (1972)
The poster to this movie is all it took to get me, but then I discovered that hardly anyone has watched this, that it was shot in Jacksonville, Florida for nearly no money and it goes all out occult weirdness in the midst of sunlight sleaze. All of this and more, please. A psychic tells […]
Punk Rock (1977)
Somehow, some way, Carter Stevens’ Punk Rock is on Tubi, pornography without pornography, yet still appearing with sleaze and heart and story intact. Also known as Teenage Runaways, Stevens saw the success of Saturday Night Fever, knew punk was hot and went out and shot new scenes that replaced the penetration to get an R-rated version — the […]
MILL CREEK NIGHTMARE WORLDS: Panic (1982)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was originally on the site on November 13, 2018. Also known as Bakterion, Nightmare Killing and even Zombie 4 in Greece, this film was directed by Tonino Ricci, Fulci’s assistant director on White Fang and Challenge to White Fang. It all starts with lab rats going nuts and killing one another, which was not what I was […]
MILL CREEK NIGHTMARE WORLDS: Emergency Landing (1941)
William Beaudine made movies in almost every genre and not only that, he made tons of them. His career started in 1909 and ended in 1966 with Billy the Kid Versus Dracula and Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter. He made 75 movies in the forties and Emergency Landing also known as Robot Pilot is one of seven he made in […]
