However, she has an idea to save things, as she begins to ferment […]
2023 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 31: Death Race 4: Beyond Anarchy (2018)
31. “THE FINAL CHAPTER”: Last in a series… Get it? Death Race: Beyond Anarchy is the most 2000s movie I have ever seen and I am astounded that it was made in 2018. It has people with rivet faces, distressed fonts everywhere, costumes that feel like they came from the back room of a Hot […]
SYNAPSE BLU RAY: Black Circle (2018)
Two sisters, Celeste (Felice Jankell) and Isa (Erica Midfjäll), tried to change their lives with a self-help record from the 70s that was supposed to stop stress and create a calming sense of self thanks to self-hypnosis. The problem is that it creates a doppelganger of the listener that grows strong enough that it eventually […]
THE FILMS OF NEIL BREEN: Twisted Pair (2018)
During their youth, Cade and his identical twin brother Cale (Neil Breen, who pretty much did every single thing possible on this movie) were abducted by aliens and transformed. They were both secret agents for some time, but Cale didn’t fit in while Cade remained, missing his brother while he protects America’s troops. Cale is […]

The final chapter of the Malice series, Malice: Emergence has Alice (Brittany Martz) thinking that she’s about to escape her small town for college. But that creature that lives under her house won’t let her leave nor will a government operation that sneaks into town and captures her, fills her with truth serum and interrogates her to […]
ETs Among Us 3: Secret Space Program, Alien Psychics & Crop Circle Clues (2018)
At one point in this movie, Linda Moulton Howe discusses how she was inside a crop circle and a space voice spoke to her and sounded like a tiger. This is why I watch the movies of Cybela Clare. Cybela has brought together her experts again — Linda, Robert Dean, Robert Morningstar, Nick Pope and […]
Malice 2: Metamorphosis (2018)
After the events of the first Malice, Alice (Brittany Martz) tries to live a normal life but is known in her school as “the girl who blows things up.” Now, she’s haunted by dark dreams of an epic medieval battle, Roman solders and the armored specter of her deceased father. You know, normal teen stuff. But […]

MVD DVD RELEASE: What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael (2018)
From 1968-1991, Pauline Kael reviewed movies for the New Yorker and made film criticism into an art form. As a result of her writing, people began to think more about the movies they saw, transforming entertainment into something that could become even more. She had her enemies and her fans, even today. Like Quentin Tarantino, who said, […]
