God Forgives… I Don’t! (1967)
Incoherent but violent Spaghetti Western has a train pulling up to a station but everyone on board has been shot and killed and there’s also $100,000 in gold missing. Soon Terence Hill and Bud Spencer (their first film together) are…
The Vengeance of She (1968)
First the good part of the film. The beginning of the movie was beautifully and sharply filmed with an excellent view of the French countryside going towards Monaco with a highway cutting through. The opening theme song was haunting, especially…
The Devil’s Men (1976)
Better than you might expect horror outing about a small Greek village succumbing to the old, Pagan ways and keeping alive the cult of the Minotaur, in this case a statue of a bull that shoots out flames from its…
The Chill Factor (1993)
“The Chill Factor” follows a group of snowmobilers stranded at an abandoned religious camp where they uncover a strange ouija-like game, and proceed to unleash demonic spirits that start taking hold of them one-by-one. This utter oddity was filmed in…
Do The Right Thing: The Rise of Truly Independent Movie Going
Usually in a time of crisis, people who have a common interest arise to challenges together and put differences aside and work for a common goal. That is the way of most people, and certainly the aspiration of all well-intentioned…
The Neon Dead (2017)
The eye-catching poster and action-packed trailer led me to this one. The plot is pretty simple as a young woman spots a glowing zombie in her bathroom and hires two young guys running a paranormal investigators business. Turns out these…
Inner Sanctum II (1994)
A woman attempts suicide when she suspects her husband doesn’t love her and is having an affair. Now she’s wheelchair-bound, and her husband, who indeed doesn’t love her and is having an affair, hires a private nurse to look after…
Dinosaur from the Deep (1993)
Professeur Nolan (Jean Rollin) leads a group of scientists on a time travel experiment, which leaves them on a small island where soon they’re fighting for their lives as they come under attack by a deadly dinosaur. DINOSAUR FROM THE…
Dollman (1991)
Brick Bardo (Tim Thomerson), a tough cop from the planet Arturus, pursues his evil nemesis Sprug (Frank Collison), a living disembodied head on a flying machine, across the far reaches of space to Earth (the South Bronx, to be precise)…
Black Fire (1985)
Sgt. Frank Johnson (Kristoff) isn’t simply Sgt. Frank Johnson, Vietnam War soldier. Oh no, he’s so much more than that. You see, he had ninja training as a child. In spite of, or, perhaps, because of his proficiency in the…
Zombie Strippers! (2008)
“Zombie Strippers” manages a preternatural combination of theater of the absurd, hot pink lingerie, and the Smith and Wesson air soft pump action shotgun. The ability of the 20th century’s major Continental philosophies to adapt to the 3rd millennium is…
Cheerleader Camp (1988)
If you’ve ever wondered what a John Waters Porky’s/slasher film mashup would look like, then look no further than Cheerleader Camp. Every performance is ridiculously campy and every character is a bit of a sleaze. In some ways, it also…
Lurking Fear (1994)
Anyway…Like most early Full Moon pictures, this did seem to have a budget behind it…nothing over the top, but a budget nonetheless. A good ensemble of actors: Jeffrey Combs of Re-Animator and Dr. Mordrid fame, Ashley Laurence of Hellraiser Fame…
Netherworld (1992)
NETHERWORLD, a Full Moon picture set in the Louisiana swamps, successfully delivers a Gothic atmosphere filled with lush vegetation, isolated manor homes, and brothels operated by voodoo sorceresses. However, thanks to a hopelessly cheesy script, the film never transcends its…
Mandroid (1993)
MANDROID is a remote control robot, built in Romania by Karl Zimmer (Robert Symonds) and his team, one of whom, named Drago (Curt Lowens) is jealous and wants his due credit. Zimmer has also been working on a revolutionary new…
Something Weird (1967)
This Herschell Gordon Lewis film certainly lives up to its title. Cronin Mitchell (Tony McCabe) gets electrocuted, which badly burns his face but the upside is that it gives him ESP. Soon afterwards a witch offers to fix his face…
Arcade (1993)
The newest video game sensation is “Arcade”, a virtual reality game that one must win….or lose your mind and forever be part of the game. Alex (Megan Ward) and her friends try the game, but Alex’s boyfriend loses and disappears….
SEEDPEOPLE (1992)
A geologist returns to his home town of Comet Valley to search for a meteorite that landed several years ago. He stays at a bed and breakfast run by his former girlfriend (who looks ten years younger than he does)….
Murdercycle (1999)
For my money, there’s nothing more terrifying than a plastic-covered motorcycle driving laps around people in slow motion. My chest was pounding as laser blasts from this unholy machine ricocheted off wooden wagon wheels and rusty metal. There was too…
You Can’t Back Movies Into A Corner
As if things could not get anymore more dire for the theater owners this week, a survey of about 1,000 people conducted in mid-May by sports and events analytics firm Performance Research, in partnership with Full Circle Research Co., found…
