Southbound (2015)
Made by filmmakers who worked together on V/H/S, Southbound doesn’t always work, but at least its stories have a thematic tie to one another and a vision, unlike so many modern horror anthologies. Radio Silence — Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett and Chad Villella– who made Ready or Not, V/H/S, and Devil’s Due directed the first segment, in which two men […]
SHARK WEAK: Mega Shark Versus Kolossus (2015)
Between Mega Shark, Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus, Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus, Mega Shark Versus Mecha Shark and the rumored Mega Shark Versus Moby Dick, The Asylum has really gotten plenty of nautical miles out of the Mega Shark story. Yet how can we explain the fact that Illeana Douglas appears in this movie as Dr. Alison Gray? […]
SHARK WEAK: Raiders of the Lost Shark (2015)
Look, the title of this movie is incredible. It has no Raiders of the Lost Ark moments in it to pay off the name, but that’s totally a Jerry Gross-level title there. This one’s a Brett Kelly movie and he’s the guy who made Ouija Shark and Jurassic Shark, so when it comes to shark movies with great […]
The Slayers (2015)
Two cult members named Nigel and Job learn that a comet is about to destroy the world in just fourteen days, so they decide to go on a road trip. As their motorhome tours Scotland, they discover that vampires need to be stopped as part of God’s plan so that they can end their existence […]
LEE MAJORS WEEK: Do You Believe? (2015)
Do You Believe? is kind of like Magnolia without the raining frogs, good music or characters that you actually worry and care about. It’s the tale of a preacher who meets a street prophet who shakes him to the core. And then you realize, hey, that street priest is Delroy Lindo and wow, the cast of […]

Crumbs (2015)
Candy (Daniel Tadesse, who has worked with director Miguel Llansó on four different projects) is a small man under a large sky that is filled with a hovering spacecraft that surely must be dead as it hovers above. Yet since he was young, he dreamed of being on that ship. Candy knows that the ship […]
Rust (2015)
Shot in the Asylum and Hotel Fear Haunted Houses in Las Vegas, Rust is the product of writer and director Joe Lujan. Starting as a short film, the murders of Travis McLennan have expanded across several films.

Orion: The Man Who Would Be King (2015)
Prior to the 1974 appearance of Capitol Records’ ambiguous, Jim Morrison doppelganger, aka The Phantom (Arthur Pendragon), the city of Detroit cultivated its first musical “Phantom” in 1966 with a faceless, Vox organ-inflected quintet out of Flint, Michigan, fronted by the perpetually sun glasses-clad (masked) Rudy Martinez, aka ? (Question Mark). Scoring a local hit […]
Baskin (2015)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Roger Braden runs the Facebook group Valley Nightmares, which is all about the history of the films that played at the drive-ins and theaters in his home state of Kentucky. He’s a great guy and I’m excited to read his take on this movie. Originally a short film that impressed, creator Can Evrenol […]
