Terror of the Bloodhunters (1962)
* You don’t really get what you expected watching “Terror of the Bloodhunters. Instead of lots of tall buxom and beautiful Amazon-looking women you get, almost throughout the entire movie,deep philosophical exchanges between the leading cast members. The story is…
Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV (2000)
Citizen Toxie is, without a doubt, the finest Troma film to date. Lloyd Kaufman and the Troma team managed to make a sequel to a twenty year old movie that is not only more succesful than the original, but has…
Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974)
Hammer’s last Frankenstein outing is one of their best; despite the great sadness that went in its production (inherent in the film’s overall effect but thankfully not swamped by it), the film emerges as a pretty solid and well-crafted chiller…
The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)
In 1934, during the boom of British cinema, businessman William Hinds, decided to enter the industry and create his own film company, “Hammer Productions Ltd.”, where he would produce several movies before being forced into bankruptcy due to the end…
The Kiss of the Vampire (1963)
“The Kiss of the Vampire” has one hell of an opening scene, but after that, the viewer must endure about thirty minutes of Dullsville as a newlywed couple arrives in a creepy European town and interacts with the strange, subdued…
Silver Bullet (1985)
The difference between this and the standard, cookie-cutter, grade-B monster/werewolf/e-mail-spammer horror flick could be a tutorial for playwrights, screenwriters and cinematographers. Instead of the tired horror-flick plot – monster terrorizes small town after killing some folks (usually with heavy-handed special-effects…
ZNation guest star Michael Anthony Hall – Friday 11-20-2015
With ten exciting episodes of Z Nation’s second season already aired, Friday’s episode is sure to entertain when Anthony Michael Hall guest stars as “Gideon,” the leader of a corporate retreat-turned-cult. In Corporate Retreat, the gang find themselves trapped in…

True Legend (2010)
Chinese martial arts films have no lack of material to adapt, with folk heroes and legendary characters making that leap from history to film, with the latest being Ip Man, and we all know how well that turned out for…
OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009)
This second OSS 117 is actually some kind of remake of “Furia A Bahia Pour OSS 117” made in the sixties with Frederick Stafford.But the stories are different ,only the location is the same.André Hunebelle’s work was entertaining ,but Hazanavicius’s…
Angels Die Hard (1970)
At least Angels Die Hard strives to be something different. The usual motorcyle bums are in attendance, but this time they’re the heroes rather than the antagonists. The storyline, concerning a mine cave-in in a small community, bears traces of…
Mr. Sardonicus (1961)
William Castle usually marketed his movies with gimmicks, and for MR. SARDONICUS the gimmick was “the punishment poll.” When the film played in theatrical release, audience members were issued a voting card, and near the movie’s conclusion Castle himself appeared…
The Park Is Mine (1985)
Think of Rambo, but more tone down in the violence and having a political angle focusing on how certain situations / individuals are undeservedly swept under the rug. ‘The Park is Mine’ is a passable, up-tempo little made-for-TV feature. Even…
Prom Night 3: The Last Kiss (1990)
Like the first Prom Night, Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II was a mild success. As a result of that, a second sequel was born two years later and would follow the storyline of II instead of I and instead…
The Troll Hunter (2010)
Recently our Viking brethren from the Icey North have dipped their manly toes in the creative waters of film-making. That’s not to say they haven’t before, but I would say films about an evil Santa Claus, Nazi Zombies and now,…
Battle Of The Worlds (1961)
The mysterious sounding music of the main title when the film starts sets the pace for the whole movie, which is laid-back yet enchanting (especially if watched at night). It is not hardly a typical space battle type picture so…
Lifeforce (1985)
Lifeforce is one of the strangest films I’ve ever seen, so ridiculous, yet at the time it’s strangely compelling and never the least bit dull. Whether it’s due to the nonstop nudity, the large amount of violence and action, it…
Millennials And The Movies
Millennials (also known as the Millennial Generation or Generation Y) are the demographic group following Generation X. There are no precise dates when the generation starts and ends; most researchers and commentators use birth years ranging from the early 1980s…
