  • Snuff

    Snuff

        Snuff is actually a very disappointing movie. Because of its appearance and marketing, it gives you the impression that it may actually be a snuff film (for those of you who do not know what a snuff film is, it’s a film that depicts what appears to be an actual murder caught on film…

  • Rabid Grannies

    Rabid Grannies

         Two eccentric old aunts are having a birthday party. All the party guests are family members that are just after the two old bat’s money and intend to use the birthday party to both make themselves look better as well as make each other look as bad as possible. The oddball family ensemble…

  • Beyond the Darkness

    Beyond the Darkness

      This is another one of those little Italian horror flicks that director Joe D’Amato came out with that were very cheap to make, are extremely hard to find these days, and were categorized as what was considered a “video nasty”. Video Nasties were usually films that could not be rated (if so, they would have…

  • The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

    The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

      Even though this movie is rather popular and competes with The Exorcist for the coveted title of the scariest movie ever made, it is still a cult classic. It was shot on a shoestring budget and under deplorable conditions. This was Tobe Hooper’s first attempt at filmmaking and does a rather good job all things…

  • Alice Sweet Alice

    Alice Sweet Alice

         This is a very dramatic movie, and unlike most cult films, the acting is really good, it looks like it had a decent budget, and it has a great story.  This was billed as Brooke Shield’s first movie (I think maybe age 8 or 9), but I’m almost sure that she starred in…

  • The Short Films of David Lynch

    The Short Films of David Lynch

       David Lynch was married to a girl named Peggy at the time, who was an exceptional painter and he used her talents to make most of these short films. There are about 8-10 total, and most can be found on Youtube, but there was a DVD release that contained all of them.  These short…

  • Blue Sunshine

    Blue Sunshine

      Blue Sunshine came out in 1977 and has all the earmarks of a seventies film. Polyester, disco, and bad hair. Speaking of bad hair… this movie not only has a lot of it, but it’s also MISSING a lot of it, henceforth the creepy movie poster and the topic of missing hair is one of…

  • The Thing from Another World

    The Thing from Another World

        Typically, I’m not a science fiction fan. Though, of course, I can certainly be persuaded when the film is really good and enjoyable to watch, or just really campy, crappy, and stupid. The Thing From Another World is a much more suspenseful film with an incredible atmosphere that is usually nonexistent in most sci-fi…

  • Don’t Look in the Basement

    Don’t Look in the Basement

         This movie is cheaper than cheap. It was shot in a mere 12 days at a cost of about $10,000. But even with the odds against them, I believe this movie is actually quite well made. It has a very ominous atmosphere, an asylum in the middle of nowhere, where the patients are…

  • The Food of the Gods

    The Food of the Gods

        Once again, a brilliant H.G. Wells novel (The Invisible Man, War of the Worlds, The Time Machine) has been turned into an extraordinarily cheap film. Some of his film adaptations like “War of the Worlds” did indeed turn out well, even though it varied quite a lot from the novel. I can safely say…
