Portal to Hell!!! (2015)
It has slick and intelligent dialogue, delightful surprises, and ends with a shocking burst of energy. Readers of Lovecraft will appreciate the chants. This short is a delightful mix of soap opera and horror. The audience loved it, laughing and…
Hell Comes to Frogtown (1988)
A movie with a name like this and a star like Piper, you know what you are in for… a B movie. However, this B Movie is actually quite entertaining. It sort of plays (in a way) like Barbarella with…
Toad Warrior (1996)
“Toad Warrior” is a mixture between “Hell comes to Frogtown” and “The Roller Blade Seven” without the charm of the original “Frogtown” movie. Joe Estevez as Mr. Big Micky O Malley gives this one a fine comedy touch, legendary Conrad…
Legend of the Roller Blade Seven (1992)
THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN, RETURN OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN, and LEGEND OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN, frame by frame. So, I believe I know these films as well as anyone, expect maybe the filmmaker, could know them. And, `Yes,’…
Roller Blade Warriors: Taken by Force (1989)
A B-movie classic with Kathleen Kinmont, Elizabeth Kaitan, and other actors who just give terrific performances to a movie with a limited budget. Without Kathleen Kinmont, and Elizabeth Kaitan this movie would have failed to keep me interested. The other…
Roller Blade (1986)
This is the kind of movie that you either love or love to hate. This is a deliberately campy and schlocky zero budget outing and director Jackson has even cast camp movie auteur Fred Olen Ray’s young son in this…
Funeral Home (1980)
An effectively spooky low-budget thriller that takes more inspiration from Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960) rather than Carpenter’s Halloween (1978), as so many horror films from this era did. A girl goes to help her grandmother with her new boarding house, a…
Bottom Feeder (2007)
Working on a clean-up crew, several workers are assigned to a new job at an abandoned medical testing lab and after going through the facility are ambushed by a large creature living in the tunnels from a chemical drug that…
The Land Unknown (1957)
A rip-roaring sci-fi adventure that has quite a lot going for it: a novel premise, a square-jawed hero, a lovely blond heroine, and several dinosaurs presented in a bizarre landscape. Universal’s ace effects artist Clifford Stine did a terrific job….
House of Horrors (1946)
In 1944, a strange looking actor (apparently as a result of an incident during The Great War in which his face was deformed) called Rondo Hatton made a film called The Pearl of Death (a part of the successful Sherlock…
Monsters (2010)
While there have been plenty of valid comparisons made between this film and last year’s sci-fi hit District – 9 (due solely to the fact that the two films share an admittedly similar global concept; that of aliens landing and…
The Creature Walks Among Us (1956)
The wealthy Dr. William Barton (Jeff Morrow) organizes an expedition to the Florida Everglades with the scientists Dr. Thomas Morgan (Rex Reason), Dr. Borg (Maurice Manson) and Dr. Johnson (James Rawley) to capture the Creature. They navigate in the ship…
Hysteria (1965)
This is an unusual little surprise from the Hammer Studio’s and horror director Freddie Francis. It’s a thriller in the style of Hitchcock. The movie and story are well constructed and there are quite some plot twists and mysterious elements…
Monster of Terror (1965)
The American Stephen Reinhart (Nick Adams) arrives by train in Arkham, a small town in the countryside of England. He tries to travel to the real estate of a man called Witley by taxi or bicycle, but the locals are…
The Smoking Gun: The Removal Of The Paramount Decree
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/smoking-gun-removal-paramount-decree-william-dever/?published=t Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich…
The Electronic Monster (1958)
British made – with scarcely a British accent evident, Escapement is an extremely corny B-Film yet somehow gripping. Rod Cameron’s wooden all-american hero chews the scenery while Mary Murphy’s natural beauty makes that scenery glow. This film would certainly not…
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Shaun of the Dead is quite a surprising and brilliant piece of work which I suspect will achieve the accolade of instant cult status as word of mouth snowballs this film to richly deserved recognition. Simon Pegg, both the joint…
The Psychopath (1966)
Inspector Holloway (Patrick Wymark) is in charge of investigating the murder of Reinhardt Klermer (John Harvey), Victor Ledoux (Robert Crewdson), Frank Saville (Alexander Knox) and Martin Roth (Thorley Walters) and his main lead is a doll in each crime scene….
Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964)
Few sci-fi films in cinema history present viewers with an alien landscape so starkly beautiful and desolate as the one in this film. Our setting is an empty and foreboding land of majestic cliffs, barren deserts, and imposing geologic monoliths….
It Follows (2014)
The plot is simple yet interesting. Someone has sex with someone else and an STD monster stalks them. It walks like a Romero-esque zombie but no matter how far you travel, it keeps coming for you. If it touches you,…
