Orgy of the Dead (1965)

This movie has a werewolf, a mummy, walking dead, ghouls, a zombie, the princess of darkness, and an emperor of the dead. Most of the movie takes place in a cemetery. Even with all this, you’ll never believe it, but…

Maya (1989)

Italian horror has never especially depended on coherence. Fulci and others made up for it for it with the horror of their visions, Argento and his like made up for it with the intensity of their art. I don’t fault…

Big Ass Spider! (2013)

A monster film plenty of impressive scenes , frenetic action and humor . A giant alien spider escapes from a military lab and rampage the city of Los Angeles . When a massive military (commanded by Major Braxton : Ray…

Popcorn (1991)

This may look very much like a redundant and unpleasant horror comedy about the umpteenth serial killer wasting a group of film students but, if you give it a chance, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. The premise is quite creative, the…

Django (1966)

This cult movie centers on Django(Franco Nero), a stranger man without identity , at the beginning he saves a woman (Loredana Nusciak). Later on , he is going to a village dragging a coffin behind him . The little town…

Black Bridge – Review

I’m still stuck in the 80s, especially when it comes to metal, hair bands, satanic rock, and even Christian rock songs like To Hell With the Devil by Stryper. So when I heard about Black Bridge, I put on my…

The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978)

This is THE Hong Kong martial arts movie every fan of the genre MUST see. After watching this you’ll be in no doubt why Tarantino picked the star, Chia Hui Liu, for two parts in his Kill Bill double. The…

Hitcher in the Dark (1989)

Incredibly silly psychological thriller from the same man who brought us Eaten Alive, Cannibal Ferox, Nightmare City and countless giallos. This time out he tells the story of a young man (Joe Balogh) who is so in love with his…

The Vulture (1966)

Set in Cornwall but actually produced in Canada, THE VULTURE is a somewhat offbeat sci-fi thriller filmed in the mid-1960s. The cat is a surprising mix of genre regulars and newcomers to the field, but the film has an odd…

Deathstalker IV: Match of Titans (1991)

This is clearly the best of the Deathstalker series, much better than the first three. Rick Hill (Deathstalker 1) is back, this time with more filled out masculine features and physique. He and Dionara (Maria Ford), after generally being involved…

Eroding The Movie Going Experience

We are living in more than interesting times. The streaming wars are about to get super-heated and it looks like Disney is going to be pretty strong coming out of the gate on November 12th. On Tuesday of this week,…

Turbo Kid (2015)

Turbo Kid is a fun little film that mashes a hyper-violent post apocalyptic wasteland with 80’s retro-style science fiction. The film revolves around The Kid, a nameless scavenger who lives alone in an underground bunker. He spends his days scavenging,…

Light Blast (1985)

Lightblast is quite entertaining movie, in the trashy way. It doesn’t promise more than it can offer – it has pretty childish plot, just average actors, characters aren’t introduced and there’s too much car chasing scenes. Still, I love the…

Death Spa (1989)

Extremely gory movie about a health spa, The Starbody,haunted by the owners Michael Evens, William Bumiller, wife Catherine, Shari Shattuck, with some of the most gut turning scenes even put on film. The movie starts out with what at first…

The Black 6 (1973)

The black six is a standard blacksploitation movie enhanced by the cast of all star football players. The black six mentioned in the title are a rough gang of bikers just back from vietnam looking for nothing but a good…

Village of the Damned (1995)

The movie is pretty well pasted with a clever script and some creepy scenes. We also get some good acting from the adult actors and one of the child actors (David), but when we consider the other children, they seem…

Children of the Damned (1964)

Five super-intelligent, emotionless children are discovered around the world. They also have the power to control peoples minds (their eyes glow when they do this). They’re all taken to London to be studied but they escape and barricade themselves in…
