     Salem’s Lot is a miniseries made from Stephen King’s second book. In my opinion, the miniseries was just as scary as the book, it did have some changes but the changes made were actually a lot scarier when seen on film. Salem’s Lot was made in the 1970s for people who were too…

   Session 9 is a complicated movie, but once you’ve figured out what has really happened, it becomes a puzzle well worth solving. An asbestos removal crew is hired for a job at an abandoned insane asylum. Crew leader Gordon seems unusually tired and complains that his infant daughter has an ear infection and cries…

     This is one of the more mainstream cult films out there (translation for mainstream-they had a little bit of money to spend on production and had a rising newcomer for the lead actress, Barbara Hershey). It became a little more well-known due to the DVD release.       I have to admit,…

   I’ll say it upfront… this is a really dumb movie. The overall concept isn’t that bad, but the execution is ridiculous. The tagline is funny though “Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water… you can’t get to it.” An obvious ripoff from “Jaws”.        Anyway, the…

    This is an incredibly erratic story, with a lot of unexplained content, but I’ll see if I can clean it up a little so that it can be somewhat understandable.        OK, the movie starts out with a couple screwing in an old abandoned house. The boyfriend goes missing (I guess he…

    This is a great little flick circa 1984, starring Daphne Zuniga when no one had any idea who the hell Daphne Zuniga was. Many may still not know because past the 90’s she kind of disappeared. This was her first feature film actually and it isn’t a bad one, all things considered. It’s got…

     This is a very in-your-face documentary on the topic of sex changes and transgenderism. And I mean that truly, it literally takes you from start to finish, into the nether regions that not so many of us wanted to see or know about (I can’t say “all of us” because there’s something for…

    I’ve been putting off posting this film because it’s way too cerebral to fully explain, but recent developments in its restoration have prompted me to discuss it finally. When Metropolis first debuted in Germany it ran about three hours long. Despite its length, it had great reviews. Thankfully so because it turned out to…

   I personally really love this movie, it’s a freaking laugh riot! I mean, I know it’s a complete ripoff of The Exorcist and is intended to be just as scary, but the exorcism takes place in a disco tech and the demon spouts some seriously funny jive-ass lines without a single curse word as…

    Ok, so most cult films tend to be more on the older side because a cult following usually takes time, but now and then a cult film can be relatively new if it manages to get enough of a following within just a few years. In this case, The Poughkeepsie Tapes definitively achieved this.…
