CULTPIX MONTH: The Pyramid (1976)
Gary Kent is a name that should be spoken in hushed, reverent tones by anyone who loves genre cinema. The man didn’t just work in the movies; he bled for them, tumbled for them and fought his way through the toughest biker flicks and drive-in classics of the 60s and 70s. He started the old-fashioned […]

WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Mako, The Jaws of Death (1976)
The Florida-based director William Grefe has brought many swamp-tinged bits of exploitation goodness — or badness — to the screen, including Alligator Alley, The Wild Rebels, The Hooked Generation and many more. As one of the first films to capitalize on the shark craze in the wake of Spielberg’s success, this film’s sympathetic view of sharks as victims is […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Mad Dog Morgan (1976)
