Lust for a Vampire (1971)
The absolutely stunning Danish actress Yutte Stensgaard stars as the vampire seductress Mircalla in Hammer films part two of the “Carmilla Karnstein” trilogy. Not a great film but a worthy one for all Hammer/British horror film fans. Originally to be…
Dementia 13 (1963)
When Alfred Hitchcock’s Marion Crane (of “Psycho”) stepped into the shower and met her fate, it kicked off a slew of stark, grisly chillers about nutcases, often wielding butcher knives or axes. This entry has the distinction of being one…
Mafia Girls (1969)
You can’t fake the amateurism of MAFIA GIRLS, a deservedly forgotten no-budget Florida artifact from the ’60s. Same filmmaker (using that term most broadly) Norman Senfeld did STORM TROOPERS USA, another title resurrected by Something Weird Video that I have…
King of the Rocket Men (1949)
1949’s “King of the Rocket Men” was the first of three serials from Republic Pictures featuring a man wearing essentially the same rocket suit and helmet. The other two, both released in 1952, were “Radar Men From the Moon” and…
Dr. Cyclops (1940)
ALBERT DEKKER is the crazed DR. CYCLOPS who wants to protect his radium discovery by miniaturizing scientists who want to take advantage of his pet project. What’s odd is that material that would ordinarily be found in a B-film, with…
The New Kids (1985)
Sean S. Cunningham (the man behind such films like ‘Friday the 13th’, ‘A Stranger Is Watching ‘ and ‘Deepstar Six’) takes a stab at a routine (but gutsy) revenge/vigilante thriller set in the good ol’ south of Florida with a…
The Black Raven (1943)
This is a confusing mystery with lots of darkness and bumbling around. George Zucco is really the only interesting character. He seems to be part of the criminal element, yet he seems to have dignity and integrity. When a group…
She (1984)
This is exactly what bad movies are supposed to be: a magnificent accident; bizarre; terrible dialog; insipid acting; but most importantly, uncontrived. Not like that Troma crap. Troma wishes its movies were bad, but all I see are contrivances: people…
Caveman (1981)
Some have been a bit harsh with this little film and totally missed the point. We all know that dinosaurs and man didn’t coexist but that is beside the point. This film refuses to take itself seriously and why should…
Man Crazy (1953)
Man Crazy is a 1953 American film directed by Irving Lerner and starring Neville Brand. It was the first film from Security Pictures, the production company of Philip Yordan and Sidney Harmon. Three girls steal some money and head for…
Pumpkinhead (1988)
In the countryside, the quiet hick Ed Harley (Lance Henriksen) raises his beloved son Billy alone, working in his grocery on the side of the road. When three couples from the big city stop off at his store to buy…
World Without End (1956)
There are many existing comments in regards to this particular film and most of them are quite similar and accurate, therefore there is not too much new substantial information left to be offered. I would just like to express and…
Guerra sucia (1984)
Paul, a mercenary in Africa, decides that he can no longer work for the Organization because of their brutal tactics. But the evil Organization refused to release him, and Paul finds that he must fight his way out.
A Digital Tsunami: Theaters In A Digital Age
There are things that change you and impact you in a way that forever alters perspective and actions. There was a book that was published in 1995 that did that for me. “Being Digital” by MIT Media Lab Head Nicholas…
The Photographer (1974)
Awesomely bad movie. The mention of Sage Stallone buying the rights in perpetuity are correct, that he “was such a fan” may be a cover story… …industry gossip from “back in the day” said that Harold J. Stone (It might…
Candyman (1992)
Candyman’ is a very frightening and yet intriguing and compelling movie that plays upon and cleverly manipulates old urban legends and myths of folklore and brings to life some of your worst nightmares and horrors. As far as scary movies…
Black Lolita (1975)
The 3-D Vision “Wildcat Women” would give even the most astute spectator a difficult time comprehending its plot direction. In summary, a young black girl’s (who mysteriously shafeshifts throughout “key” moments)uncle is murdered by a group of hoodlums, headed by…
Future Force (1989)
A bevy of curiously pot bellied actors (including an especially out of shape David Carradine) feature in this mildly enjoyable romp from the ever prolific, David A Prior. Well, first things first – it has to be said that this…
The Old Dark House (1932)
Tales about sinister, creepy mansions were already clichéd by the time director James Whale directed THE OLD DARK HOUSE–and instead of presenting the piece as a straight-forward thriller he mixed the film’s very atmospheric cinematography with a wild strain of…
Secret of the Incas (1954)
“Secret of the Incas” (1954) is, with out a doubt, a truly rip-roaring adventure movie. It shares uncanny resemblance too with “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and other Indiana Jones films. But I am not going to go into this…
