Sizzlin’ Summer of Subterranean Psychotronica 2026: Satan’s Storybook (1989)
Week 1 (June 21 – 27) – Welcome to HELL The summer’s here, so get ready to broil! Satan’s Storybook prefigures the streaming horror anthology films that litter our streaming services today, yet it’s miles above them, not just in its two tales, but in a connecting story that makes you want even more. Directed and co-written […]
CULTPIX MONTH: The Bleeder (1983)
The Rock Cats, an all-girl hair metal ensemble, are touring the Swedish countryside in a van that probably smells like stale Oppigårds Golden Ale and Aquanet. When their engine gives up the ghost near a decaying manor, they do what any rational slasher protagonists do: they break in. In real life, I ask you to […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU-RAY RELEASE: The Dinosaur Chronicles (2004)
While Mark Polonia famously quips in the intro that the film was finished simply to “fulfill a contract” for a Galaxy of Terror DVD four-pack, the roots of the project go much deeper. The vintage sequences were originally shot on Super 8 by Mark and John Polonia when they were young. In fact, they wrote […]
SRS BLU RAY RELEASE: Truth or Dare? Legacy (1986, 1994, 1998, 2011)
Originally released in 1986, Truth or Dare: A Critical Madness has become a cult horror classic. This low-budget film, shot on 16mm, still resonates with fans of 1980s horror. It gained renewed attention when Elijah Wood called it his all-time favorite horror movie. Truth or Dare remains one of the first direct-to-video, and it’s high […]
Disgusting Spaceworms Eat Everyone (1989)
A one-and-done SOV by George Keller, this one lives up to the promise of its title: worms from space come to Earth and, well, devour folks. No more, no less. Or maybe more. This is a noir movie masquerading as SOV, a film where, instead of a black-and-white, rainy, smoky night, we’re seeing downtown LA […]
Trash Humpers (2009)
The Trash Humpers are running through the streets of Nashville, causing chaos everywhere they go, which mostly means making people eat pancakes covered in soap, choking out baby dolls with plastic bags and killing a poet. They’re also all mostly old men or men wearing old man masks. They are very dada; nothing means anything. […]
The Hackers (1988)
Directed by John Duncan, who also made Black River Monster, The Hackers is a Michigan SOV by way of rednecksploitation that is all about the Hacker family: Pa (Howard Coburn), his sons Arnie (Dale Caughel) and Eldon Junior (Steve Prichard), who already cut off most of his face with a chainsaw, so he wears a mask. You may […]
Planet Manson (1998)
You know the style of Rinse Dream and the Dark Brothers? What if they did that, but there was no penetration? Well, I think it would be close to this movie. Well, there is a blowjob, so give them that much. A note to the non-perverts: I’m referring to the neon-lit, 35 mm grindhouse-on-video adult […]
Mutant Massacre 2 (1991)
Imagine if Alien Beasts had a sequel, but one that Boogieman II handled, where you’re never sure if you’re seeing the same movie, a re-edit or whatever this is, a movie mainly having you stare at old monitors while a monotone voice repeats the lines several times. It’s a drone on a drone on a drone, […]
Savage Vengeance (1993)
I Will Dance on Your Grave, I Will Dance on Your Grave: Savage Vengeance, I Spit on Your Grave 2: Savage Vengeance — whatever you call this, it’s a kind of, sort of sequel to I Spit On Your Grave, to the point that Camille Keaton is in it, using the name Vickie Kehl. In fact, […]
