Ten Antichrist Movies That Aren’t The Omen
During the earliest days of the site, we put together a loose, in no particular order, Top Ten listing of “Ten Possession Movies that Aren’t The Exorcist.” We’ve since teased, on a few occasions, we’d do a list to honor the Italian and Spanish film industry’s next favorite horror film to copy: The Omen. Well, […]
Dark Sunday (1976)
Grindhouse and drive-in purveyor Earl Owensby, who made his producing-acting debut with the 1974 one-two punch of a Walking Tall (1973) ripoff called Challenge and its sequel, The Brass Ring, tossed a clergy collar on his ersatz Buford Pusser — and changed his name to the Reverend James Lowery — for this, his third movie: […]
Girls In Trouble (1971)
This is a tricky movie to review. First, it’s confused with German director Eberhard Schröder’s Die Klosterschülerinnen, aka The Convent Students, which also made the rounds as Sex Life in a Convent, but is also known as . . . Girls in Trouble. Second, that film, and this Sybil Danning vehicle (well, not really) is […]
2021 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 19: The Night God Screamed (1971)
DAY 19 — CAN’T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKIN’?: When you let an unexpected guest in, you may be in for a long night. Editor’s Note: While we’ve included this — controversial — film as part of our Christploitation genre cataloging, we’ll also briefly delve into the Hagsploitation genre, turn you on to a few “hippie […]
Secta Siniestra, aka Bloody Sect (1982)
There’s ripoffs of The Omen (The Visitor, The Tempter, Holocaust 2000), then there’s Spain’s “Roger Corman,” Ignacio F. Iquino — anglicized, here, for U.S. drive-in consumption as “Steve McCoy” — bringing on the double-live gonzos, Antichrist weirdness. (I’ll forever pair Iquino’s horror opus with Bigas Luna’s Anguish. I’m weird that way, anyway. . . .) […]
Heaven’s Gates and Hell’s Flames (1986)
You can’t lie to us. There’s no breaking of the Ninth Commandment, allowed. Not this time. We know you’ve never seen or heard of this beautiful collision of a Christploitation flick and an ’80s SOV’er for the most epic, greatest SOV in the horror realms committed to video tape. And yes, video store owners, who […]
The Divine Enforcer (1992)
“Open the gates of Hell! For I am the right hand of God!” — So speaks Father Daniel Trust us: We aren’t plot spoiling when we tell you what we have here is a great idea of a Sylvester Stallone Cobra (1986) ripoff — with Sly as a catholic priest, instead of a toothpick-chewin’ rogue […]
The Second Coming (1980)
Editor’s Note: On June 26, 2021, we had a “Ron Ormond Day” in tribute to his films. You’ll find the links to the reviews from that day of films — and others — within this review. This is the one Ron Ormond film that eludes the staff of B&S About Movies. Sure, Sam and I […]
LEE MAJORS WEEK: Jerusalem Countdown (2011)
God bless Christians and their end of the world movies. Seven backpack nukes, code named The Seven Wonders, have been placed in the U.S. by terrorists as the result of the battle for Jerusalem. FBI Agent Shane Daughtry (David A. R. White, the co-founder of Pure Flix Entertainment, as well as the co-writer and producer of […]
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 […]
