Planet Terror (2007)

Planet Terror is a homage to the trash that used to play at drive-ins back in the 70s, particularly, its a zombie film. Being a lover of zombies I was stoked when I sat down to watch it. The movie…

Eat My Dust, The Abandonment of The Rural Movie Going

When I was in my teens I would turn on the family’s Zenith television and jump between the four channels that we were limited to. Often during the early summer and the fall, especially in non-prime time or the off…

Trapped (1982)

The original rural revenge film trend peaked in the late 1970s. Not released until 1982, Trapped may have been a little late out of the starting gate, but like Fruet’s earlier film Death Weekend, it has become a premiere title…

Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror (1981)

The Vestron Video version of this film appears to be uncut (it’s hard to imagine what might be missing). Truly, though, the creepiest part of it is the one woman’s so-called “son”, Michael, who is OBVIOUSLY not a child but,…

Where Have All The Cowboys Gone: The Last True Movie Star

Elmo Lincoln was born Otto Elmo Linkenhelt in Rochester Indiana in 1889. He went on to play the screens first Tarzan in 1918. Legend has it that Lincoln’s agent was a crafty marketeer. When he went to negotiate the renewal…

Island of the Living Dead (2007)

Getting stranded by a thunderstorm, a group of treasure hunters land on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean overrun by zombies from the colonial days along with other supernatural beings trapped there and must fight them off…

Ghostkeeper (1981)

Ghostkeeper probably has one of the best horror movie settings ever, in my opinion. It takes place in an isolated old lodge (Deer Lodge, an actual functioning resort)amid the snowy Canadian Rockies, surrounded by huge snow-covered mountains and towering evergreen…

Zombie 3 (1988)

A scientific research lab has just produced a deadly formula which is stolen by a terrorist group. But before the terrorists can get too far they are all killed except one. He is wounded in the attempt and is accidentally…

Vivian Bang stars as Sophia in her indie comedy White Rabbit.  The film follows Sophia, a Korean-American performance artist who struggles to be authentically heard and seen through her multiple identities in modern Los Angeles.  The film received high praise…

Blackenstein (1973)

Following on the heels of blacula and Dr black and Mr Hyde,blackenstein is a pretty good little b movie made by American international pictures,although not shown in the credits.blackenstein is laughable at some point,but good.i actually enjoyed it more than…

Blood Beach (1980)

After several people mysteriously vanish from a South Californian beach, authorities begin the search for whoever or whatever is responsible. Believing some kind of ravenous subterranean creature to be the cause of the disappearances, harbour patrolman Harry (David Huffman) and…

Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988)

This film is the work of the auteur DeCoteau and boasts of a cast that contains three members of the All-Century Eye Candy team (Brinke Stevens, Michelle Bauer, and Linnea Quigley). The underlying message of this film is the horrors…

Galactic Gigolo (1987)

The people who made this movie previously made the cult movie “Psychos In Love”, a movie that I found funny enough to justify buying it on DVD. So my expectations were pretty high when I put “Galactic Gigolo” in my…

Dinocroc vs. Supergator (2010)

Remember those cheesy fiction films from the 50’s? Remember the gorilla with a diver’s helmet? Yep. Or that crab creature running the world. SyFy comes from that tradition. And of course those classic B movies have aged quite well. I…

Shakma (1990)

A bunch of college students play a live-action fantasy role-playing game like Dungeon & Dragons in an (apparently) locked building with caged primates, with their professor acting as Dungeonmaster. They wander alone from room to room, communicating with the professor…

The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966)

This film proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the “Beach Party” genre was dead. After the previous film with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, American International thought they could pull the two of them back for one final…

Elves (1989)

This is one of the greatest bad horror films I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen plenty. Mr. Grizzly Adams chain smokes in every scene, and the elf creature can barely move (always a great way to achieve that “menacing” ambiance)….
