    After making his feature film debut in 2012 with Antiviral, filmmaker Brandon Cronenberg (son of the great David Cronenberg) is back with his second picture, 2020’s Possessor, a picture that, while still showing the influence of his father’s work, is a big step up from that earlier effort.

    The story, which Cronenberg also     ...

    Silent Madness – Movie Review:

    Simon Nuchtern, the man who gave us Savage Dawn and who did some uncredited work on Snuff, was the director behind 1984’s Silent Madness, a film that was very clearly made fast and cheap in order to cash in on the success of Friday The 13th Part III a few years prior, but which still manages to be a pretty entertaining, if reasonably generic, slasher picture.

    For reasons never properly explained, a lunatic named Howard     ...

    The Other Side Of Madness – Movie Review:

    Made in 1971, when the Manson Murder trials were still going on and making headlines across America, The Other Side Of Madness, directed by Frank Howard and produced by Wade Williams (the same Wade Williams who owns the rights to quite a few of Ed Wood’s better known films), was made to cash in on the notoriety of the crimes     ...

    Necromancer – Movie Review:

    Dusty Nelson’s 1988 film Necromancer basically opens in a garage that has been converted into a Satanic lair of sorts where a witch, or maybe a Necromancer, converses with her dark lord, conjuring up an axe that lands smack dab in the middle of some poor woman’s skull. A punk     ...

    Year: 1993

    Scary Tales – Movie Review:

    If you watch only one shot on video horror movie from Maryland that explains the perils of metal detectors, zooms into a chubby guys navel after his eyes pop out and which features ninjas in a park this year, let it be Scary Tales, because Scary Tales, directed by Doug Ulrich in 1993, is a special film indeed. Hosted by a grim reaper-esque character named ‘The Storyteller’ who opens the film by reading ‘scary tales’ out of a big book to a bunch of poorly lit children, this trilogy of terror is low on quality but high on charm and for fans of no budget shot-on-video productions and all the oddities those movies typically entail, it’s pure gold.

    Patrick Still Lives – Movie Review:

    Patrick’s back (sort of) and he’s horny (definitely)!

    When Richard Franklin’s 1978 film Patrick proved a box office hit, Mario Landi and company stepped up to the plate to deliver a ‘sequel’ that took the basic premise of Franklin’s picture and ramped up the sex and violence levels to some pretty ridiculous levels.     ...

    Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things – Movie Review:

    Here’s an odd one. Think of 1971’s Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things as The Odd Couple reinvented as a low budget crime film combining the bitchiest elements of Andy Milligan’s output with the low rent Florida charm of The Guy From Harlem, but with way more homoeroticism built into pretty much every aspect of the film. And yes, it’s as great     ...

    When Satan’s Slave struck box office gold for Indonesia’s Rapi Films, producer Gope T. Samtani got the gang back together and had screenwriter Imam Tantowi once again team up with director Sisworo Gautama Putra to craft another horror picture, this time eschewing the supernatural elements of that earlier effort in favor of… trashy cannibal nonsense (except that there isn't really much in the way of human on human consumption going on)!     ...

As two possible tenants arrive and discuss the facility with the property manager, upstairs an older man named Dr. Emil Hobbes (Fred Doederlein, who also appears in Cronenberg’s Scanners) murders and then cuts open the stomach of a young woman named Annabelle Brown (Cathy Graham)     ...

    A reasonably low budget (the picture was made for twenty million, which is low by major studio standards!) sci-fi/horror film shot in the middle of nowhere in Australia, David Twohy’s 2001 film Pitch Black wound up doing quite well at the box office and has since seen two follow up movies (one live action, one animated) and a couple of video game spin-offs.

    New York Ripper – Movie Review:

    Next to Zombie and The Beyond, Lucio Fulci’s New York Ripper is, if not one of his better-known pictures in mainstream circles, at least his most notorious. It’s been labeled as near pornographic, misogynist, sexist trash and it’s hard to argue with a few of those more colorful adjectives. That said, Fulci’s film definitely succeeds in creating an unsettling mood and a sleazy atmosphere – and it’s more fun to think he planned it that     ...
