The Zero Boys (1986)
My second trip into Mastorakis land following Island of Death last year. I’ve thought about that movie way more than I expected to since first seeing it so of-course I’m going to give The Zero Boys a go. This is a silly movie, but … Continue reading

Bride of Re-Animator (1989)
Brian Yuzna’s follow up to Stuart Gordon’s beloved Re-Animator(which Yuzna also produced) is pretty satisfying as far as 80s horror sequels go. As is generally the case, the credo seems to be “more is better”, I feel like the body count … Continue reading

Zardoz (1974)
John Boorman cashed his Deliverance cheque to make…this? To clarify: that’s not a dig at the Zardoz‘s quality but more a reaction to Boorman’s sheer audacity. After a planned adaptation of Lord of the Rings fell through, Boorman poured all … Continue reading

The Premonition (1976)
A kind-of bummer freak-out rendition of Raising Arizona featuring a pair of dysfunctional carnies who decide to kidnap their daughter back from her adoptive parents. The story ping pongs between the two mothers as they are connected with a psychic … Continue reading
The Witch Who Came From the Sea (1976)
After the disappointing Malatesta’s Carnival of Blood, Arrow Video’s American Horror Project finally delivers the goods. The Witch Who Came from the Sea is a gem. It’s a complex movie. Shockingly so. The sexual abuse of a child is central … Continue reading

Malatesta’s Carnival of Blood (1973)
The first entry in Arrow video’s American Horror Project is a film I would have never heard of or seen otherwise. In all honesty Malatesta’s Carnival of Blood is a bag of shit. Even at a meager 74 minutes I … Continue reading

The Mutilator (1984)
If you watch the extensive special features accompanying Arrow video’s recent release of The Mutilator, one thing is clear: Buddy Cooper seems like a really, really nice guy. This film is the result of him fulfilling a lifelong dream to … Continue reading

Blood Rage (1987)
A typical yet fun 80s slasher movie that boasts a terrific character performance from Louise Lasser. Lasser cropped up in an eclectic bunch of films in the 80s and she is always memorable in them. Here she plays a troubled … Continue reading

Madman (1982)
I always remember seeing the Anchor Bay DVD cover of Madman when I was in my early teens and knew I’d have to watch it one day. This was back when I was on a strictly all-horror movie diet and … Continue reading
