MVD REWIND COLLECTION BLU RAY RELEASE: Men of War (1994)
It blows me away that John Sayles wrote this. Yes, a Dolph Lundgren movie. It has him as Nick Gunar, a merc who assembles a team of mercenaries to take an island. When they get there, he learns that they’ll be working for his old nemesis Keefer (Trevor Goddard, who has been showing up in […]

Playmaker (1994)
Playmaker, also known as Death Date and Private Teacher, was recommended to me by Brad Sykes, who knows a thing or two about erotic thrillers, as he directed two movies in the last days of the genre, Demon’s Kiss and Loving Angelique.

But Nelson doesn’t need a horrible […]
In the Heat of Passion II: Unfaithful (1994)
Imagine if Roger Corman produced a Giallo. Well, didn’t he do this a whole bunch of times with all of those erotic thrillers?

Master of Horror Mick Garris and writer A.L. Katz crafted this, the third of the premiere episodes of the sixth season of Tales from the Crypt.
