    Action U.S.A. – Movie Review:

    Waco-based drug dealer Billy Ray (Rod Shaft) would seem to have it all – a Corvette with a personalized license plate that says ‘Sleek1’ on it, a fancy house, a hot girlfriend named Carmen (Barri Murphy) who just can’t wait to get naked and fuck him on the couch and a bottle of Shiner!     ...

    My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done – Movie Review:

    The first collaboration between David Lynch, here serving as producer, and Werner Herzog, handling directorial duties, 2010's My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? is a weird film. You'd expect it to be, given the fact that it's from the men who gave us Eraserhead and Even Dwarves Started     ...

    Dynamic:01 The Best Of David Lynch.com – Movie Review:

    What is Dynamic: 1? The easy answer is that it’s a compilation DVD that collects some of the short films that director David Lynch shot for his website. A few years back, he decided that he was going to create a bunch of short films using digital video, as it would allow him to work faster and on a smaller budget, and that he’d make this material available to subscribers on his     ...

    La Femme-objet – Movie Review:

    Wow. This 1981 Alpha France production, directed by Claude Mulot under his Frédéric Lansac alias (his last for the production company), is insane. The film focuses on the exploits of a perpetually horny writer named Nicolas (Richard Allan) who just can’t find a woman with the ability     ...

    Tales Of The Uncanny – Movie Review:

    This feature length documentary covering the history and importance of the horror anthology picture actually started out as a bonus feature intended to have been included with the Blu-ray release of The Theatre Bizarre but various Covid-19 lockdowns put into place around the world changed all of that. Soon enough, a series of Zoom-recorded interviews and discussions conducted for that featurette took on a life of their own, and director David Gregory found himself with enough material to put together a lengthier, more expansive piece than he originally intended.

    The finished product covers a lot of ground, digging pretty deeply     ...

    Forgotten Gialli Volume One – Movie Review:

    Vinegar Syndrome delivers another trio of ‘forgotten gialli’ in their second boxed set collection.

    French Sex Murders:

    Italian director Ferdinando Merighi isn’t up there with the hallowed likes of Argento, Bava or Fulci but he did have a few notable contributions to Italian genre cinema, having worked on a couple of Spaghetti Westerns and helmed this goofy slice of sleazy Giallo cinema, French Sex Murders.

    The loopy storyline tells the tale of thief named Antoine (Pietro Martellanza a.k.a. Peter Martel, star of Death Walks At Midnight made the very same year) who heads off to a Parisian brothel run by the matronly Madame Collette (Anita Ekberg of The Killer Nun). When the prostitute that Antoine was with gets killed and he flees the scene,     ...

    The Fernando Arrabal Collection Volume 2 – Movie Review:

    A founding member of the panic movement (along with Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor), a chaotic theatre group that performed mainly in Mexico during the 1960s, Fernando Arrabal is not only an accomplished playwright and author, but also a remarkable filmmaker. Cult Epics previously released three of his films and now returns to the Arrabal well a second time with The Fernando Arrabal Collection, Volume Two. The films here aren’t as surreal or as extreme as the earlier pictures but the director’s stamp is still all over them. Here’s what this latest boxed set includes:     ...

Cult Epics has just previously released Viva La Muerte! and I Will Walk Like A Crazy Horse and now bundles them up with The Guernica Tree, available on DVD for the first time.

    Iggy And The Stooges - From K.O. To Chaos Review:

    This eight disc boxed set, made up of seven CDs and one DVD, gathers together all of the Iggy And The Stooges releases that have been released over the years from France’s Skydog Records, including the infamous Metallic KO album from 1976 and the two complete shows that that album was culled from, in addition to a nice selection of rarities, live tracks and assorted bits and pieces from throughout the Iggy Pop and The Stooges’ long and sordid career.

    Here’s a look at what you’ll find on each of the discs in the collection.

    When the riotous, confrontational 'last ever' Iggy & the Stooges gig Metallic KO was issued in 1976 on the French indie Skydog label, it heralded the punk     ...
