An aristocratic family run a farm in South Africa where the other son (Burns) is set to marry his English lass (Field), much to the chagrin of his fiercely protective mother (Inglis). A series of strange murders and rituals force…
The Black Torment (1964)
“The Black Torment” might not be a genuine horror masterpiece it does has its flaws and shortcomings but this film is so drastically overlooked and underrated that I wish to praise it a little extra, hoping that fans…
The Snake Woman (1961)
“The Snake Woman” is a brief (only 68 minutes long), painless, silly, and quite amusing British horror film with some decent atmosphere and capable performances. It’s not memorable, overall, save for its sexy “snake woman”, but it’s entertaining stuff. It’s…
The Evictors (1979)
The Evictors, like Charles B. Pierce’s other efforts (The Legend of Boggy Creek and The Town That Dreaded Sundown) is a spooky story based on actual events. This story centers around a house with a violent past. That past, however,…
Grabbers (2012)
There’s nothing like some good old-fashioned monster movie mayhem! That’s also what director Jon Wright must have thought when he read the script for this totally unpretentious but enormously amusing and respectably made mixture between comedy and horror. “Grabbers” isn’t…
Corridors of Blood (1958)
Any film featuring both Christopher Lee and Boris Karloff is an instant must-see for any horror fan. Alone, either one of these can carry a film; but together they make a force to be reckoned with indeed! Karloff stars as…
The Pep Rally: A View From Cinemacon
Give ’em the old double whammy Daze and dizzy ’em Back since the days of old Methuselah Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-lah Give ’em the old three ring circus Stun and stagger ’em When you’re in trouble, go into your…
Class of 1999 (1990)
Class of 1999 is a classic example: according to this film, by the year 1999 gang culture will have reached such a level in the U.S. that certain areas—known as Free Fire Zones—will no longer be protected by the police….
Space Amoeba (1970)
The film is set on a remote tropical island that is being looked at as the possible home of a luxury tourist resort. Funky photographer Kudo (wearing a floppy hat) and his adorable female companion are there to take pictures…
The Blood of Fu Manchu (1968)
The fourth of the British made Fu Manchu films starring Christopher Lee(STAR WARS MENACE), this shows the series desperately flagging and in dire need of a heart transplant. The other three films weren’t exactly stunning but at least two of…
Nurse 3D (2013)
Nurses are sometimes displayed as sexy stereotypes. This movie added also some psychopathic/egocentric characteristics to this stereotype and thereby created a much more nuanced character then the far more often seen sexy dumb blonde. This movie ain’t exactly porn or…
The Farthest (2017)
Is it humankind’s greatest achievement? 12 billion miles away a tiny spaceship is leaving our Solar System and entering the void of deep space. It is the first human-made object ever to do so. Slowly dying within its heart is…
Guns of the Black Witch (1961)
In the early 1960s Italian film directors were churning out sword and sandal Hercules/Goliath type “epic” films made with slim budgets and cheesy special effects. All that was needed was an American actor like Steve Reeves or Mark Forrest with…
Mindkiller (1987)
Warren is a socially inept and very shy young librarian who is highly susceptible to self-help manuals.While pouring over one such book he discovers that by expanding his mind he can control his environment and the actions of other people.Disturbed…
The Touch of Satan (1971)
The plot says, “A man meets a farmgirl who is actually a witch.” I think the story is a bit more complicated than that, but sure… The film has flaws. Oh, yes, it sure does. Poor video quality (perhaps fixable)…
Double Dragon (1994)
Well fight fans I really must say that DOUBLE DRAGON was a favorite of mine. It may not have had the potential to be a great film but it is an enjoyable one. Truly, the movie becomes what the viewer…
Dynasty (1977)
Before the huge 3D revival of 1982-83 (when I myself caught “Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein” and “Jaws 3D”), there were a few 3D productions of rather low quality filmed around 1976, “A*P*E” perhaps being the most notorious. Certainly the best remembered…
The Dungeonmaster (1984)
If you like your 80’s cheese fantastically melted, then you’re going to have more than a mouthful with THE DUNGEONMASTER. Jeff Byron plays computer-geek Paul (with a computer called “Cal” installed in his… glasses, no less) with a beautiful girlfriend….
The Bloody Fists (1972)
THE BLOODY FISTS (1972) is of interest to kung fu fans because of several noted participants: it’s an early example of the fight choreography of Yuen Wo Ping (best known these days for IRON MONKEY, THE MATRIX and CROUCHING TIGER,…
Revenge of Bigfoot (1979)
Although this movie will not keep you on the edge of your seat or get your adrenaline pumping, it is an entertaining way to spend 90 or so minutes. In fact, compared to what Hollywood has been cranking out for…
