The Walking Dead (Season 1)
Over the past few years the zombie film has made a huge comeback since the godfather of zombies George Romero bought them to life with Night of the Living Dead and it’s follow up Dawn of the Dead in 1978. In the eighties the zombie films of that time took a back seat...
X-tro
Anyone around during the early 1980’s can easily empathize with why British director Harry Davenport created a malevolent extraterrestrial whose victim is a young boy. After being saturated daily by countless toys, clothing lines, lunchboxes, and videogames fashioned...
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
One of the first comic book super heroes with which I became became obsessed when I was a youth was Wolverine. There was a four set comic series released in the early nineteen eighties. I remember spending forty dollars for the first Wolverine comic in the series. I...
Branded
If you have been visiting my site for a while, you know that I have never been a big fan of any product released by Brain Damage Films. At one point they were sending screeners to me and then I stopped getting them, while Cannibal Cam started to get them. Not that I...
X-Men: First Class
One of the first comic book series I got into as a kid was the X-men. I was a huge fan of Wolverine, and started to really get into the X-men mainly because of him. I cannot recall which number comic book in the series that I stated with when I was younger, all I...
The Brain That Wouldn’t Die
Whooooo! What a stinker. In 1959, Joseph Green, who made nothing else you’ve ever heard of, filmed The Brain that Wouldn’t Die. The picture wasn’t released until three years later, supposedly due to censorship difficulties, but I’d guess that was a mere alibi in a...
The X-Files: I Want To Believe
The long-time-coming second X FILES movie will most likely represent the end of the X FILES universe, at least in cinematic terms, given the film’s under-achievement at the U.S. box office in the same summer that hits were made of other long-dead TV shows (SEX AND THE...
Young Frankenstein
Mel Brooks (The Producers) hit his cinematic peak in 1974, making Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles. As an homage, not only to the legacy of Frankenstein but also to the Golden Age of Hollywood, the former stands as one of the greatest horror comedies of all time...
Brainiac
(WARNING: If my review seems erratic, let's just say I was 'inspired' by this film) The problem with horror films today is that they spend too much time and money on F/X and gore. Now, assuming you have a low/no budget and are out to make a horror flick, shouldn't you...
Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key.
Your Vice Is A Locked Room and Only I Have the Key is another film from the legendary Italian director Sergio Martino that has just been released in a beautiful DVD edition by NoShame Films. The film is essentially Martino’s version of Edgar Allen Poe’s story “The...
Brain Damage
Cult horror director Frank Henenlotter has been called many things over the course of his all-too-brief career but unimaginative is not one of them. Not only does Henenlotter provide his audience with another instance of his trademark quirkiness which--like David...
Zombies, Zombies, Zombies
“Super soldiers? They’re more like genetically altered super zombies!” notes an over-acting character in a fake zombie-film-within-the-film at the outset, featuring a machete-wielding Tiffany Shepis and deliberately goofy and / or self mocking dialogue (“Zombies?! Who...
Zombie Strippers
The title says it all; ZOMBIE STRIPPERS. It's obviously a B-movie filled with porn stars who wish to become real actresses, but don't realize the only work they will ever get is in horror film such as this one. However, this is a one of those b-movies that actually...
Zombies of Mass Destruction
I am one of those horror fans that have completely lost faith in the zombie film; especially over the past year or two. If I need to think back over the past two years I can’t say that I have even seen a zombie film worth mentioning. My feeling toward the genre is...
Zombieland
In a movie that also features “Dueling Banjos”, Van Halen, Velvet Underground and Blue Oyster Cult, the stand-out musical moment is an opening title sequence full of uber slo-mo bloody zombie action (in fact, the bloodiest stuff in the whole movie is here) set to...
