    August Underground – Movie Review:

    Like a lot of people, I first heard of Fred Vogel, Toetag Pictures, and August Underground through an article in Rue Morgue Magazine. If you're curious, it was the February 2003 issue with House Of 1,000 Corpses on the cover. The article in question, written by Mike Watt, did a damn fine job of ensuring that I really never wanted to see this film. Quite simply, it sounded nasty. Well, a few years have passed     ...

    Originally released in its native Argentina as La Venganza Del Sexo, Emilio Vieyra’s film was picked up for stateside distribution by Jerry Intrator, the same man who gave us Satan In High Heels, and released to the American market with a whole lot of newly shot sex footage added into the picture.

    Alucarda – Movie Review:

    Directed in 1975 by the late Juan Lopez Moctezuma (producer of Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo), Alucarda is a powerful and genuinely disturbing piece of nunsploitation. Known under a few different titles, it was most commonly seen in the USA as Sisters of Satan, and that's not a totally inaccurate description     ...

    Bamboo House Of Dolls – Movie Review:

    A Women In Prison film from director Kuei Chih-hung (who also did Killer Snakes), Bamboo House Of Dolls takes its cues from the entries in this sub-genre that came before it but does the 'chicks in chains' thing with a decidedly Hong Kong/Shaw Brothers slant to it.

    Instead of nasty Nazis, this time around the culprits are the Japanese (a very common antagonist in Chinese cinema of this     ...

    Blood Ceremony – Movie Review:

    Directed by Jorge Grau, best known for the excellent Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (one of the finest zombie films to come out of the European horror boom), 1973’s The Legend Of Blood Castle is a pretty solid take on the legend of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, a story that’s been milked in horror cinema time and time again (Hammer’s Countess Dracula standing as a good example).

    The film tells the story of a noblewoman named Marquise Erzsebet Bathory (Lucia Bose) who completely by chance winds up getting the blood of one of her super-hot     ...

    John Fasano (the man behind Rock ‘n’ Roll Nightmare) starts Black Roses off on the streets of Toronto (the city is never named, but it IS Toronto) where some rocker guys are cruising down Yonge Street. They head to a venue where a band is playing, but this is no ordinary band - these guys are demons! The show ends poorly, the opening credits begin, and the Shapiro-Glickenhaus production that is Black Roses is soon in full swing.
