The Boogens (1981)
A group of four mine surveyors are hired to explore a long abandoned silver mine to see if whether or not it is worth reopening. Two of the men, along with a girlfriend and her best friend, rent a secluded…
The Deadly Mantis (1957)
The Deadly Mantis starts as a Volcano erupts somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere which has an opposite reaction as a Glacier melts in the Northern Hemisphere releasing a huge Praying Mantis from it’s icy rest place, after it thaws out…
The Crawling Eye (1958)
The Trollenberg Terroris set in the Swiss village of Trollenberg where several climbers have mysterious disappeared while climbing th Trollenberg mountain with one being found dead after having been decapitated. A nearby research observatory run by cosmic ray scientist Professor…
City of the Living Dead (1980)
Lucio Fulci is a horror icon. He may not be as well known to many film goers in North America as his iconic status was cemented some twenty years ago, but if you like films by Wes Craven and M….
The Quiet Earth (1985)
The movie usually begins the same: a lone hero awakens and starts his day as usual. But there’s a catch when he realizes that he is the last man alive. Fruitlessly, he scours the land for others only to find…
Hangar 18 (1980)
Not as bad as it looks now some 25 years after it’s release. “Hanger 18” is the first major motion picture to bring on the screen the Eric Van Daniken hypothesis from his best selling book “Chariots of the Gods”…
Cannibal Apocalypse (1980
This is a movie that follows a lot of the conventions of a zombie movie, the main difference being that instead of being dead, these flesh-eaters are alive, just taken over by a virus that turns them into deranged cannibals….
Ticker (2001)
Ticker is a strange movie. It starts out promising, with a good cast, nice story and lots of action. Especially after watching “Out for a kill” which I did 2 weeks ago, this one seems to be much better. And…
Caliber 9 (1972)
Milano Calibro 9/Milan Calibre 9(1972) contains a fast paced tightly edited prologue that is done with brilliance. The opening five minutes are both brutal and sadistic. Rocco played by Mario Adorf is introduced in the prologue as a psychotic mafia…
Shadowchaser (1992)
When Romulus the android (Zagarino) comes to life after a lot of clacking on computers, he and his henchmen decide to take an entire hospital hostage. Naturally, the President’s daughter (Foster) is in the hospital. Apparently this is happening because…
China 9, Liberty 37 (1978)
Named after a mysterious signpost in Beaumont, southeast Texas, set between U.S. 90 and the adjacent Southern Pacific railroad tracks, that inexplicably reads “China 9 Liberty 37”, with the genre fading quick into obscurity in both sides of the Atlantic,…
The Underground (1997)
`The Underground’ has a simple plot about a detective on a case of a trio of guys that wear Abraham Lincoln masks as they murder up and coming rap stars. The rap stars all have a connection to a shady…
Rulers of the City (1976)
“Rulers of the City” is enjoyable for fans of the Italian crime flick, with a fast moving story and a sense of humour to let you know that it’s never taking itself too seriously. The actors are all good and…
The Apocalypse (1997)
Sandra Bernhard is terribly miscast in this five hundredth derivation of `Alien’. Whining and sneering her way through this movie, she sounds ridiculously unconvincing spouting the technical mumbo-jumbo necessary for science fiction films. She aint no Sigourney Weaver, that’s for…
Dolls (1987)
Stuart Gordon. The name is synonymous with gruesome acts of myrth, gore, violence and other on screen mayhem. Normally his films are loaded with buckets of blood and gore, yet somehow in the middle of all the gory mayhem he…
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974)
I believe Sam Peckinpah to be one of the most underrated directors in modern American cinema. We praise Scorcese to the sky (albeit deservedly) for ultra-violent work like Taxi Driver, yet tend to dismiss Peckinpah as a shallow director of…
Cyborg Cop (1993)
CYBORG COP is an entertaining low-rent beat ’em up with a sci-fi twist. It’s a classic piece of B-movie fare, featuring all the usual elements we’ve come to expect (and love) from our cult films: a muscled, posturing hero (David…
Black Demons (1991)
This film is supposedly the second sequel to Lamberto Bava’s fun eighties trash flick ‘Demons’, although I’d say it’s more like a lacklustre version of Lucio Fulci’s zombie masterpiece ‘Zombie Flesh-Eaters’. Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly one of Italy’s most diverse…
The Church (1989)
Michele Soavi (born in 1957 in Italy) began as an assistant director for Dario Argento and the late exploitation king Aristide Massacessi before finally having the opportunity, by Aristide, to direct his first feature film, Deliria aka Stage Fright in…
Demons (1985)
With a pounding heavy metal score accented by a phenomenal opening track from Dario Argento’s band Goblin, DEMONS grips from the onset and never stops, despite a paper- thin plot that appears as if the filmmakers made it up as…
