Year: 1972

Purchase From Amazon

The Movie:

Next to Astro-Zombies (dutifully reviewed by Mark Tolch here), The Corpse Grinders is probably the late, great Ted V. Mikels’ best known horror film and definitely one of his more successful pictures (it even spawned a sequel in 2000, but we shall not sully this original with talk of that movie). When this picture played drive-in’s and theaters across the country} ...

Woman’s Torment, A
Released by: Vinegar Syndrome
Released on: October 24th, 2017.
Director: Roberta Findlay
Cast: Jennifer Jordan, Jack Teague, Michael Gaunt, Marlene Willoughby, Crystal Synch, Jeffrey Hurst, Clea Carson, Tara Chung
Year: 1977
Purchase From Amazon

The Movie:

Directed by Roberta Findlay (credited here as Norman Walters) in 1976, A Woman’s Torment is as much a horror movie as it is a sex film, if not more so, and the results are pretty interesting.

As the waves crash up on the shore of some barren beach and classical music swells up we cut to Estelle Vorel ...

Year: 1991
Purchase From Amazon

The Movie:

While I have to admit that films made by Joel and Ethan Coen don't contribute largely to my list of favourites, there's no disputing that when they're on, they're really on. Fargo, No Country For Old Men, and Blood Simple are brilliant works of art, allowing me to give them a pass on tripe such as The Ladykillers ...

007. 117. James Bond. Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath?

Before Ian Fleming’s “shaken but not stirred” creation, there was a fascinating secret agent born in the land of Brie and escargot - French born American superspy Hubert. Starting in 1949, author Jean Bruce wrote a series of globetrotting adventures that have continued even past his death thanks to the likes of his children taking up the gauntlet. Kind of like those James Bond novels that started ...

Director: Brian Owens
Cast: Nick Gregory, Darren McGavin, Sam Rockwell, Jorja Fox, Ted Clark, Charles Cragin
Year: 1991

The Movie:

By the early nineties the slasher film was starting to fade, her glory days behind her by roughly a decade or so. They didn’t disappear altogether though, and 1991’s Happy Hell Night, filmed partially in Canada and partially in Yugoslavia with a very international crew, was one of the better entries from the sub-genre’s twilight years.

Year: 1987

The Movie:

Arch Nicholson’s 1987 killer crocodile feature Dark Age was notoriously difficult to see in its native Australia (though it did get VHS releases in the United States and parts of Europe) due to the fact that its distributor got out of the film distribution game shortly after it was finished and the rights got tied up in a legal mess. It wasn’t until 2011 that it was given a release in its homeland by way ...
