MVD BLU RAY RELEASE: Mondo New York (1988)
Mondo Cane kept influencing movies a quarter a decade after it was released, as this film uses its all over the place format — in this case, a girl explores New York City — to showcase a variety of performance artists and give you an idea of what was happening in the late 80’s art […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU RAY RELEASE: The Wrong Door (1990)
Ted Farrell (Matt Felmlee) loves a mystery. As a college student and singing telegram actor, he goes from creating an audio thriller into one of his own, as a gorgeous woman named Jennifer (Loreal Steiner) ends up near death in his car.

THE MOVIES OF AL ADAMSON: Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life & Ghastly Death of Al Adamson (2019)
Two years ago, Severin released Al Adamson: The Masterpiece Collection, a collection of 31 remastered films on 14 discs. This movie appears at the center of it and if you know nothing of the story of Adamson — somehow a man who could work with both Colonel Sanders and Charles Manson — get ready to […]

Jessica (Sondra Currie) and her new husband Seth Hartwell (Rigg Kennedy) are Mormons on the way to Utah when Frank Brock (Ben Frank) and his men attack. They make him watch each of them have sex with her and shoot them both. He dies, she doesn’t and soon she’s learning how to shoot a gun […]
ARROW 4K UHD AND BLU RAY RELEASE: The Warriors (1979)
As a seven-year-old in a small Western Pennsylvania town, my only window into New York City was the noon news on WOR. And NYC seemed like the end of the world, like The New York Ripper and Maniac in real life. The Warriors goes even further, never telling us that it takes place after the end of […]
THE MOVIES OF AL ADAMSON: Carnival Magic (1981)
Al Adamson should have never made a children’s film. This is the man who made Psycho a Go-Go, two different softcore movies with flying hostesses (The Naughty Stewardesses and Blazing Stewardesses), the staggering Dracula vs. Frankenstein and a Filipino horror movie that was dubbed, tinted in neon hues and released as Horror of the Blood Monsters. And oh, by […]
THE MOVIES OF AL ADAMSON: Nurses for Sale (1976)
This is one of the many movies in which Independent-International used comic book artist Gray Morrow to do the art for the posters. He also did the poster and sales art for Brain of Blood, Cinderella 2000, Dracula vs. Frankenstein, Nurse Sherri, Five Bloody Graves, Blazing Stewardesses and Dynamite Brothers. This film, produced by Sam Sherman and remixed by Al Adamson, was […]
THE MOVIES OF AL ADAMSON: Death Dimension (1978)
Also known as Death Dimensions, Freeze Bomb, Icy Death, The Kill Factor and Black Eliminator, this Al Adamson movie has the kind of cast that gets me so excited, as well as Gary Graver shooting it all. Dr. Mason (T.E. Foreman) has created a weather control device. As smart as he is, he’s dumb enough […]
