GENREBLAST FILM FESTIVAL 2023: Cryptids (2023)
Cryptids started its funding all the way back in 2013 and had an Indiegogo in 2020. These days, years feel so much longer, so I’m sure there have been some people excited to see this for some time. This anthology is united by a radio show called The Truth Serum hosted by Major Harlan Dean (Joe Bob […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Nightmare Beach (1989)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Nightmare Beach aired on USA Up All Night — I remember watching it! — even if my lists can’t give me an exact date. You can say that Umberto Lenzi’s films are trashy, sleazy paeans to mayhem and gore. I won’t disagree with you. There’s Cannibal Ferox, a movie that tries to take that genre further […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Spookies (1986)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Message from Space aired on USA Up All Night on September 30, 1989 and October 5, 1991.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Cyber-C.H.I.C. aired on USA Up All Night on January 6 and June 24, 1995.

USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: The Companion (1994)
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Companion aired on USA Up All Night on December 31, 1996. Of all the Terminator clones, who knew that I’d be watching one with Bruce Greenwood — Pike from the later Star Trek movies — as a male companion named Geoffrey? Romance novelist Gillian Tanner (Kathryn Harold, Raw Deal and Yes, Giorgio) has her agent Charlene (Talia Balsam) […]
