CULTPIX MONTH: The Erotic Adventures of Zorro (1972)
After Disney made their movies and before Robert Rodriguez turned the masked swordsman into a high-budget nineties blockbuster franchise, as well as decades after Tyrone Power slashed his way through Old California, the grindhouse circuit decided Johnston McCulley’s legendary hero needed way fewer rules, way more nudity and a healthy dose of European co-production madness.

CULTPIX MONTH: Criminally Insane (1975)
Filmed in San Francisco for what looks like the cost of a couple of cases of cheap beer and a trip to the butcher shop and clocking in at just over an hour, Nick Imllard’s Criminally Insane is the opposite of its alt title, Crazy Fat Ethel. It’s lean, mean and ready to pounce. Meet […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Penitentiary (1979)
Every now and then, you run into a movie that doesn’t just want to tell you a story. It wants to grab you by the balls, kick your dick in the dirt and make you watch every single second of grit, sweat and survival it can muster. Jamaa Fanaka didn’t just make a prison film with […]
