The Blob – Movie Review

Chuck Russell's 1988 remake of The Blob (co-written by Russell and Frank Darabont) takes place in the small Colorado town of Arbeville where everyone at the local high school is consumed with preparing for various sports events. So consumed are they and all around them, that no one seems to notice when a meteor comes hurtling out of the sky and lands nearby. ...

The Fly Collection – Movie Review:

The Fly was a hit when it debuted in 1958, spawning two sequels in the years to come and then, in the eighties, a remake and a follow up to that remake. Shout! Factory has wisely decided to collect all five of those pictures and release them in an extras-laden boxed set aptly titled The Fly Collection.

The Fly:

Andre (David Hedison, billed as Al Hedison) is a brilliant inventor whose latest endeavor is to perfect a pair of teleportation pods that he’s been working on for some time. His lovely wife Helene (Patricia Owens) and his brother François (Vincent Price) stand by him. Andre makes progress when he’s able to send inanimate objects from one pod to the next, but things get complicated from there on out when he starts experimenting with living things.

When Andre is sufficiently confident that the teleportation pods are safe, he decides to use himself as a human guinea pig. What he doesn’t realize, when he gets into the first pod, is that a fly has gone in with him. When he comes out on the other side, he’s not longer human and has a fly’s head on a man’s body. Likewise, the fly changes, having a human head on a fly’s body. Things get considerably darker from here on in, with Inspector Charas (Herbert Marshall) eventually becoming involved and trying to sort out what exactly has happened.

“Once it was human… even as you and I! The monster created by atoms ...

An American Werewolf In London – Movie Review:

One of those rare horror-comedy hybrid films that actually works really, really well, John Landis' An American Werewolf In London remains a textbook example of just how well ‘funny’ can mix with ‘scary’ effectively when given a smart script, a talented director and a strong cast.

The film begins with two American ...

The Blood On Satan’s Claw – Movie Review:

Probably the best-known film of the minimal output from the short-lived Tigon Studios, Piers Haggard’s Blood On Satan’s Claw has maintained a solid cult following since its release in 1970. With folk horror having had a bit of a resurgence in the last few years with titles like The Witch and Midsommar doing well at the box office, it would seem a more than appropriate title to revisit – particularly ...

Flat out balls-to-the-wall grindhouse/exploitation filmmaking collides head on with a crime noir aesthetic in Gordon Trueblood's 1973 drive in hit, The Candy Snatchers. The film was never before given a legitimate home video release anywhere since its theatrical run in the early seventies until Subversive Cinema brought it to DVD ...

Cast: Cyndee Summers, Nina Fause, Ric Lutze, Keith Erickson, Marsha Hart, William Margold, Barbara Bourbon, Dalana Bissonnette, Rick Cassidy
Year: 1973/1973/1974/1972

The Fugitives Plus The Lost Films Of Cyndee Summers – Movie Reviews:

Alpha Blue Archives offers up four early seventies smut fests featuring the lovely and ever so talented strawberry blonde, Cyndee Summers, who worked in the adult film business from the early seventies up until the early nineties. She appeared in a lot of low rent smut, like the four pictures assembled here, as well as some top shelf material like Taboo IV (where she played Jamie Gillis’ wife).

Classified Sex:

We start with a sixty-six-minute romp from 1972 that opens with a couple – Jean (Nona Potters) and Bill (Keith Erickson) in bed reading an adult newspaper, specifically, the classified section geared towards swingers. They get turned on enough by reading ...

Amityville: The Cursed Collection – Movie Review:

Vinegar Syndrome assembles on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in the world the four ‘cursed’ Amityville films produced by Steve White. Each of the four films in this set revolves not around the original Long Island home that started it all but a cursed object, which allowed White to move the locations from New York to California. As such, the movies are quite different, and honestly not as effective as the original trilogy, but they’re pretty entertaining in their own ways and judged on their own merits, horror fans should get a kick out of these.

Amityville – The Evil Escapes (1989):

In the first movie, directed by Sandor Stern (who wrote the original 1979 The Amityville Horror) and made ...
