Chattanooga Film Festival 2026 Red Eye #8: Hollywood Mortuary (1998) and Demon Queen (1987)
Hollywood Mortuary (2000): Pierce Jackson Dawn (Randal Malone) was one of the greatest make-up artists of the early 20th century. However, his death is quite strange. It came after he wanted to work with horror stars Pratt Borokov (Tim Sullivan) and Janos Blasko (director and writer Ron Ford) for producer Leonard Schein (Wes Deitrick), even though Blasko […]
JUNESPLOITATION/ARROW BOX SET RELEASE: Jackie Chan’s Breakout Hits!: Who Am I? (1998)
DAY 26: Jackie Chan! A group of elite, multi-national commando operatives pulls off a midnight raid in the South African jungle to kidnap three scientists who have been experimenting with a highly volatile, weaponized meteorite ore. The mission goes off without a hitch, but the higher-ups, specifically the crooked, power-hungry CIA operative Morgan (Ron Smerczak), […]
JUNESPLOITATION: Biohazard 2 (1998)
DAY 15. George Romero! As a yinzer, I have seen every Romero movie many, many times. So other than his OJ Simpson documentary and Iron City Asskickers, I had no idea what to do. Do I go to the George A. Romero Archival Collection at Pitt and write about one of his unproduced scripts like Black […]
ARROW VIDEO 4K UHD RELEASE: Soldier (1998)
Paul W.S. Anderson gave us Mortal Kombat—a movie that proved you could turn an arcade game into a theater-filling spectacle—and then followed it up with Event Horizon, which is basically Hellraiser in outer space. So when it was announced he was teaming up with Kurt Russell and Blade Runner scribe David Webb Peoples for an […]
APRIL MOVIE THON DAY 30: The Paranormal (1998)
April 30: Visual Vengeance Day — Write about a movie released by Visual Vengeance. Here’s a list to help you find a movie. In the decaying industrial suburb of Englewood, the historic Grandview Theater is facing its final curtain. But as the last reel of a forgotten, low-budget schlock-fest titled Grave Rot spins, the screen doesn’t just display […]
VISUAL VENGEANCE BLU-RAY RELEASE: Vampire Time Travelers (1998)/I Know What You Did in English Class (2000)
I’ve never seen any of the movies that director and writer Les Sekely has made like Night of the Living Date, The Not-So-Grim Reaper and The Alien Conspiracy: Grey Skies, but I have seen this and I totally am hunting for the rest. This movie feels less like a narrative movie and more like someone made a Dark […]
APRIL MOVIE THON DAY 1: Ernest In the Army (1998)
April 1: Fool Me! — Share a foolish film for the holiday. In the ninth and final film in the Ernest series, this time, we find our hero, Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney), wanting to drive a big rig and somehow enlisting in the Army reserves. It’s a big leap from being the golf ball […]
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 […]
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 […]
MVD REWIND COLLECTION 4K UHD RELEASE: Knock Off (1998)
For all the amazing Hong Kong movies Tsui Hark made, he only has two Western films to his credit. Both star Jean-Claude Van Damme, but only one co-stars Rob Schneider. This would be that movie. It also features fight choreography and second unit direction from Sammo Hung, but many of his longer battles were cut […]
