From Beyond (1986)
H.P Lovecraft had a twisted imagination. Director Stuart Gordon and writer Brian Yuzna equally so. The team who brought us the excellently morbid black horror/comedy “Re-Animator”, present us with another tasty Lovecraft nightmare of kinky sexual ecstasy and luridly graphic…
Splatter University (1984)
Just another traditional slasher. Well that’s what you say about the Troma released “Splatter University”. It’s textbook and low-budget as you can get with a eye-catching film title. But it’s reputation of being one of worst its sub-genre had to…
The Nest (1988)
This flick is the Ultimate in Mutant Cockroach Terror! I love this one! Easily one of the best Roger Corman productions from the 80’s! Sure it has a cheesy 80’s synthesizer-score and displays ditto wardrobe and hairdos. But it also…

Star Knight (1985)
Ironical and dis-mythical fantasy packs acceptable production design, primitive special effects , and evocative as well as colorful cinematography . When a dazzling craft illuminates the sky above a medieval European village, the townspeople fear mayhem while the ruling party…
Star Odyssey (1979)
This is an effort at an outrageous space epic, where nothing is funny and the characters are about as bland and inconsequential as one can get. Once again the earth is threatened (actually it has been purchased). The population is…
Space Chase (1990)
Space hero and bounty hunter Ryan Chase (Yes, that it his name and that is where the title came from) and his alien buddy are hired/pressured to rescue a brilliant (Well according to the script) scientist and eventually his daughter…
Turkey Shoot (1982)
Ozploitation. Exploitations colloquial cousin. During a period Ozploitation films where popular and Turkey Shoot is a notable success amongst some of the trash of the Australians attempts at exploitation films. It’s fairly controversial ‘The Most Dangerous Game’ approach has helped…

The Raiders of Atlantis (1983)
RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS is one of the biggest genre duplicators to come out of early 80s Italian action cinema. If something was an international hit, it is most likely to be found at some point in here. One need merely…
Toxic Zombies (1980)
Released as “Forest of Fear” in the U.K , this little known gem has an undeserved bad reputation. Our action starts with a group of hippies farming our friend “the killer weed” high up in the hills. The Feds are…
Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933)
Considering the fact that this 1933 movie was produced during the depression, when moviegoers expected pure entertainment, the results were exactly what they wanted. Glenda Farrell’s hard-boiled Florence Dempsey was what filmgoers were looking for. Please note that many of…
The Invisible Man Returns (1940)
There are a lot of reasons why this 1940 sequel is better than the original INVISIBLE MAN. In the first movie, the Invisible Man was a dilettante, a haughty scientist who shot himself up with the invisibility drug “for kicks.”…
Iron Sky (2012)
I have followed Iron Sky since the very beginning. I loved director Timo Vuorensola’s first movie Star Wreck. It was camp, funny and the space battles were epic and the story was enjoyable. So I was expecting something similar but…
I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle (1990)
I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle is the definition of “Good Bad”, from the title that describes the entire plot, to the broad-brush performances, to the suspension of disbelief that comes when you know the budget is laughably small, but you…
Hercules in New York (1970)
Don’t let the awfulness of this film fool you. Arnold’s first and greatest film is, in fact, one of the greatest of all time. Just as financial firms regularly turn losses into gains by multiplying their balance sheets by -1,…
Prophecy (1979)
Released by Paramount in 1979, Prophecy, along with Alien, Phantasm and George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead formed an unholy quartet of horror movies that assaulted the hearts, minds and stomachs of cinema-goers during that infamous ‘summer of fear’. Of…
