The Plague Dogs (1982)
Two dogs escape a cruel government testing facility and try to survive on their own in the English countryside, all the while being pursued by their former tormentors. “The Plague Dogs” (1982), the children’s no child so see. Now I have seen some creepy children’s movies in the past, “The Secret of NIMH” (1982), “The [...]
Zaat (1971)
A mad scientist plots to destroy mankind by mutating not only all marine life, but man as well, starting with himself. Transformed into a hideous manfish, he stalks his former critics with murderous intent. “ZAAT”, a film truly worthy of its cult following. Recently released on Blue Ray and DVD for the first time by HD [...]
The Zookeeper (2001)
I love me some Sam Neill films. Ever since I was a wee lad and witnessed his awesomeness in Jurassic Park several times, I’ve had a strange attraction to his film. That and his great performances in Possession, Event Horizon, and In the Mouth of Madness. When I found out that BrinkDVD had released one [...]
The Veteran (2011)
I have this thing about modern war flicks. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are something that has been a part of our daily lives for the past decade. It’s almost hard for me to remember a time when there wasn’t a brief news blurb about the number of troops killed today. I have nothing [...]
Thou Shalt Not Kill…Except (1985)
Like many horror fans, I cut my teeth on the Evil Dead Trilogy. I was obsessed with the films and showed them to anyone I could. There’s something special about those flicks. Charismatic Bruce Campbell, the unique storyline, the mix of humor and gore, humor and horror. They’re just the perfect gateway into cult horror. [...]
Titanoboa (2012)
When I was a kid I wanted to be a biologist, specifically a zoologist. I loved watching Jack Hanna and Steve Irwin hanging out, catching cool critters, and generally having adventures all over the world. Later in life I realized that I was more interested in filming the animals than actually reading endless biology texts. [...]
The Gods of Times Square (2001)
Many horror fanatics and sleazy cinephiles like to idolize the lore that is 42nd street. A place where the sleaziest of horror flicks played with porno while hookers paraded out front. A magical place where one could score righteous drugs while watching marathons of midgets and murder. I am too young and live on the [...]
The Pyx (1973)
Yet another solid dvd from Scorpion Releasing, The Pyx is a lost Canadian devil cult flick. Starring Karen Black and a very young Christopher Plummer, The Pyx is about a hooker’s mysterious death and the police investigating it. The film starts out with Elizabeth (Karen Black) falling from the roof of an affluent apartment building [...]
Centipede Horror (1984)
In high school dvd was big and Circuit City and Best Buy had huge selections. They even carried cheap ass kung fu flicks that were at best grey market, at worst total bootlegs. I quickly learned that Gordon Liu was awesome and almost anything Shaw Brothers put out was gold. My appetite for kung fu [...]
Freaky Farley (2007)
Freaky Farley is a low budget, yet shot on film, indie flick. It’s becoming more and more rare for truly independent and not “Shot by a studio on a $8 million budget but released by a small imprint in hopes to get an Oscar” independent. Freaky Farley was obviously produced by a small band of [...]
