The Apple (1980)
Hey, all the things you could want from an off-beat Rock Opera, right? The plot seems to make some glaringly accurate predictions as to the future of the entertainment industry. Only a handful of singers are hand-picked by record execs,…
D.O.A. (1950)
This film is the kind that doesn’t kid itself at all- it knows what it is and is pretty happy to have it that way. It’s filled with the classic tough-guy, ‘real-to-life’ dialog of the thriller, while staying a foot…
Tales from the Crypt (1972)

Asylum (1972)
ASYLUM is the fifth in a series of seven Amicus horror anthologies. If THE MONSTER CLUB is included as part of the series, this would make eight movies. Although, that movie is very different from the others. I look upon…
Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965)
There’s a lot of fun to be had reading the reviews for movies, especially a favourite movie. It takes a certain kind of person to have a passion for a film but to see it for no more than it…

The Skull (1965)
The initial scenes of the film THE SKULL are deceptive. Set in an early-19th century graveyard complete with grave robbers, hooting owls, and what is all too obviously a doctor about to delve into “things man was not meant to…
Nemesis (1992)
Celebrate Oliver Gruner’s heyday by watching the B-movie masterpiece “Nemesis”. It’s really pretty good. Gruner may be the poor man’s Peter Weller, but he plays his 85% android character with an effective stone face and only shreds of humanity. Tight…

Hemoglobin (1997)
Bleeders’ is known as ‘Hemoglobin’ in the UK which I will proceed to refer to this films as. At the beginning of a film a young couple, Kathleen (played by the gorgeous Kristin Lehmann) and John Strauss (Roy Dupuis) arrive…
Blast (1997)
That’s hardly even necessary, as the whole plot outline could be considered as a spoiler in itself, as it’s so absolutely derivative and done a million times before that you’d need to have had your head in the sand for…
Screamers (1995)
Screamers is a futuristic Sci-Fi Horror set on another planet, Sirius 6B. The film starts off very poorly with a narrative spoken in a robotic voice, indicating that Screamers will be no more than Z-grade garbage. Luckily, Screamers proves to…

“Beyond the Darkness” was originally released in 1979 under the original Italian title “Buio Omega” but was released under a number of other names including “The Final Darkness,” “Buried Alive” and “Dark Holocaust.” The film still remains highly controversial and…
Natural City (2003)
Natural City is one of several recent Korean movies (such as 2046) from a new school of film-making in Asia. And unfortunately, after watching, digesting, and allowing this film to sink in, I can only reach the inescapable conclusion that…

Put America Back Into The Movies
Looking hard for a drive-in Searching for a corner cafe Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day Yeah, and the jukebox jumping with records back in the USA I’m so glad I’m living in the USA…
They Came from Within (1975)
Shivers(1975) is a fascinating first film especially for a person who was learning to direct professionly on the job. An interesting part about this movie is that Cronenberg did Shivers(1975) without having a clue of what people in the film…
