Director Kurt Neumann had a lot of enthusiasm for the potential of science fiction movies, but he didn’t quite seem to have the talents (or the budgets) to make consistently good ones. He seems to have plenty of intelligence –…
Harlem Rides the Range (1939)
Immediately noticeable in the opening credits was the name Spencer Williams, Jr. This should have been a guarantee of good quality, but Mr. Williams’ acting skill was not matched by much of the cast nor was his screenplay as good…

College or high school kids on a camping trip are killed by a psycho killer lurking in the woods is the tagline typically used for many slasher films. THE HORDE has a similar theme, however there is SO MUCH more…

3-HEADED SHARK ATTACK w/Dawn Hamil – Review
3 HEADED SHARK ATTACK is Chris Ray’s most action packed, dramatic, sexiest shark film to date. The film provides an abundance of quality kills and eye candy, but it also touches upon a serious problem that is currently affecting marine…
