Chattanooga Film Festival: Brutal Season (2022)
In the Trout family kitchen in Redhook, Brooklyn on one day in 1948, father is seeking a new job and Junior returns home after being gone for twelve years. Seems normal, but things spiral out of control. I didn’t expect to watch an Americana play dealing with poverty and family regret but here we are. […]
Chattanooga Film Festival 2023: WTF (Watch These Films)
This collection of strange and magical shorts are the final block that I’ve had the pleasure of watching at the Chattanooga Film Festival. Content: The Lo-Fi Man (2023): Brian Lonano, who co-directed this short with Blake Myers and wrote it, just wants to tell you about Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Yet he’s been replaced by the […]

MVD REWIND COLLECTION: Kill Zone (1985)
Colonel Crawford (David Campbell, Killer Workout) is the sadistic commander of Scare Camp, which shows civilians the survivalist skills they need. He’s made it as rough as the real thing, which is the worst thing that can happen to veteran Jason McKenna (Fritz Matthews, Deadly Prey) who has a flashback and sees everything happening as […]
Chattanooga Film Festival Red Eye #3: Tales from the Crypt (1972)
There’s nothing better than a portmanteau and there was no studio better at making them than Amicus. This is a monument to that studio, their main director Freddie Francis and British horror royalty Peter Cushing all in one film. And with one of the stories centered on Christmas, it’s perfect to watch right now. Five […]
UNEARTHED FILMS: The Sound of Summer (2022)
It’s the hottest part of the summer, the time when your skin burns when you go outside. When the cicadas song is at its loudest, a tune carried by the boxes of the Cicada Man (Shinya Hankawa), a strange man who wanders the streets and remains a mystery to all. He’s walked into an even […]
Junesploitation: The Unnaturals (1969)
June 25: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie— is Italian horror! We’re excited to tackle a different genre every day, so check back and see what’s next. Dino Buzzati’s I sette messaggeri (The Seven Messengers) is a collection of nineteen short stories in which a variety of protagonists interact with the […]
CLEOPATRA ENTERTAINMENT BLU RAY RELEASE: Shin Ultraman (2022)
The SSSP kaiju defense task force, led by Kimio Tamura (Hidetoshi Nishijima) is dealing with tons of monsters that have made their way to Earth. Luckily, they are soon joined by Ultraman, perhaps the greatest enemy of giant monsters ever. I spent much of my childhood making Ultraman’s beam hand motion and watching and rewatching […]
