Don’t Answer the Phone! (1980)

Some of the old Grindhouse movies leave you wanting to take a shower after it’s all said and done. Many of the films of this nature (“Maniac”, “The Toolbox Murders”, “Don’t Go in the House”) are just ugly beasts. They…

Waxwork (1988)

    The Eighties…what a great, fertile, inventive time that was for horror. When the major studios discovered back in the late Seventies that indie horror flicks were cheap to make or just buy outright and distribute, they started crankin’…

Desert Warrior (1988)

Twenty years after a devastating Third World War, the nuclear fall-out has reduced the landscape into a vast harsh, desolate, infertile wasteland with feral radiation-contaminated nomadic hordes scuttling about. Among the many scattered tribes populating the planet are a pair…

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 built…

Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984)

“Voyage of the Rock Aliens” is certainly an oddity. Conceived as a spoof of various genres of b-movies, Curb Records got involved and turned it into a vehicle for many of their musicians. A production team was assembled that included…

Savage Sisters (1974)

  If you’ve seen at least one Filipino action film made in the 1970’s than you pretty much know what to expect with this but with all the sleazy aspects of the story this film seems to just fall short…

Timestalkers (1987)

In Timestalkers William Devane plays a professor with degrees in physics and history and a passion for the lore of the old west who gets to see some of his theories actually come true. It all starts out quite innocently…

Eight Legged Freaks (2002)

“Eight Legged Freaks” was originally titled “Arac Attack” before the film’s star, David Arquette, thought of a better title (“Eight Legged Freaks”). The great thing about this title is it sets up the film perfectly–it’s a parody, and a surprisingly…

When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970)

This film will appeal to fans of the celebrated “cavegirl-meets- caveboy” genre. Its time-honored, trademark conventions are all there, the stop-motion animated dinosaur effects artistry, and general ambiance of geological upheaval and turmoil, and of course the primitive Stone Age…

Let’s Play Movie Monopoly

In 1948, movie studios were shaken to the core by the handing down of the Paramount Decree. The Supreme Court Of The United States ruled that the practice of block booking and ownership of theater chains by film studios constituted…

Robot Jox (1989)

Robot Jox tries hard, but is fundamentally a series of fight scenes strung together — robot against robot, man against man, man against woman. The premise had potential, but it seems the script wasn’t really given the couple of more…

Simon, King of the Witches (1971)

Talented veteran Andrew Prine is featured here in one of his delicious starring roles in 1970s exploitation. This is bizarre, trippy stuff certain to appeal to cult movie enthusiasts. Granted, it’s pretty talky stuff, but it’s still rather fascinating. Written…

Return of the Street Fighter (1974)

I once read a review, comment or ad (I cannot remember which it was) which very aptly described Shigehiro Ozawa’s original “”Gekitotsu! Satsujin Ken” aka. “The Streetfighter” of 1974 as “the most mother****** film ever made”. This sequel, “Satsujin Ken…
