When I think of exploitation, I think of a film which has no redeeming value whatsoever and is gratuitous in every conceivable manner for the mere sake of notoriety in order to turn a quick and easy buck. This is the problem I have with most of the films found upon...

I don't know what to say folks. All I know is the company that sent me this film is 0-4 with me. I haven't given one film they sent my way a reviewer higher than a star and a half. The problem is that these films are amateur films that are just a waste of my time....

The double-sided DVD is a fine thing – two films (or in this case, three) for the price of one, all wrapped up in a singular little package. Who can argue with that? Unfortunately, anyone who falls into the trap of bargain basement indie clearing houses such as this....

It seems that remakes have become so popular within the past ten years that studios are actually remaking films that they think could have been made better. At least that’s what I have been told by my friends and colleagues who have seen the original 1970 film, And...

There are those psychological thrillers that border the horror genre that work. Se7en, Copycat, and Identity are ones that come to mind when I think of the best that Hollywood has offered us in the past. Some may even argue film like SAW and AMERICAN PSYCHO can be...

Giant animal movies have always been around, and we all know the majority of them have been B-movies. The really good, yet cheesy ones were made in the forties, fifties and sixties. Excluding some of the greatest animal films like KING KONG, Jurassic PARK and JAWS,...

As watchable as it is groan-inducing, this is a generic shot-in-Romania Sci-Fi Channel follow-up to two theatrically released monster pics, the first of which helped kick-start this whole, endless CG monster sub-genre. This time out the relative lavishness of the...

"Andre the Butcher" originally titled "Dead Meat", is one of those films that I personally am not sure if it was meant to make fun of bad independent horror films, or if it is in fact just a bad horror film. You see it's a movie that starts off almost like a serious...

"Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid" is the sequel to the semi 90's hit Anaconda, which had a young Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, and many other up and coming stars. The first film was full of cool effects and big giant snakes. Well for the sequel, we have the giant...

With an expected stream of influences ranging from DUEL through to POLTERGEIST, all filtered through an Amicus anthology - style structure, AMUSEMENT is a good looking minor gem giving a cinematic veneer thanks to inventive widescreen cinematography and confident...

A beguiling, often striking homage to vintage Italian giallo from directors Bruno Forzani and Helene Cattet, ostensibly taking an oblique anthology movie approach to the story of one woman’s life-long persecution. In the first of three episodes, each one documenting a...

Writer and director John Landis, primarily known for his comedies (The Blues Brothers, Animal House, The Kentucky Fried Movie, ¡Three Amigos!), presented the world with one of the greatest black horror comedies of all time with An American Werewolf in London. The work...

Before I get into this review I will finally go on record as actually making a stand in the movie theater and turning around to tell a bunch of thugs and their girlfriends to literary "Shut the Fuck up or get out of the theater" Those were in fact my exact words. It's...

always look forward to a poorly reviewed work because I like rooting for the underdog and enjoy the challenge of finding something that others might have overlooked. Granted, this is indeed a fruitless effort in most cases, yet--as the old adage goes--half the fun of...

Emerging shortly after the movie adaptation of Jack Ketchum’s punishing THE GIRL NEXT DOOR - a fictionalized version of the Sylvia Likens case - comes this absorbing alternate cinematic interpretation of the horrifying events, this time with some of the real names of...
