    Silent Running – Movie Review:

    Douglas Trumbull’s 1971 film Silent Running is set far in the future and stars Bruce Dern (Hang’em High, The Burbs) as a botanist named Freeman Lowell.

    William Lustig’s second mainstream feature film, shot a few years after the success of Maniac (and more than a few years after his two XXX films under the alias Billy Bagg – The Violation Of Claudie and Hot Honey) follows a blue collar worked named Eddie Marino (Robert Forster in a role originally intended for Tony Musante) who works in Queens, New York where     ...

    The Alcove – Movie Review:

    One of many films by the late Joe D’Amato to feature cult favorite Laura Gemser, The Alcove is a bizarre movie even by the standards of the European sex film. When the movie begins, a middle aged man named Elio (Al Cliver) pulls up in front of his mansion in his     ...

    Year: 1980
    Purchase From Vinegar Syndrome

    Fade To Black – Movie Review:

    Directed by Vernon Zimmerman and released in 1980, Fade To Black is a genuinely weird thriller but also a very unique film, a breath of fresh air in a genre that often seems like it’s built on clichés. The story revolves around a young man named Eric Binford (Dennis Christopher) who, like probably most people who read this site in the first place, is a pretty manic film fan.     ...

    Purchase From Vinegar Syndrome

    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     ...

    Family Portraits: A Trilogy Of America – Movie Review:

    Kind of a cross between Ingmar Bergman and Todd Solondz but with more of a horror genre bend, Douglas Buck has been making independent horror movies for a few years now. Before you instantly dismiss that as shot on video garbage, let it stand that not only are the three movies in this set shot on film but they're some of the most mind-bending and intense examples     ...

    Adrian Hoven , who wrote, produced and co-directed the infamous Mark Of The Devil, is the man responsible for 1968’s Castle Of The Creeping Flesh (also known under the more fitting title Castle Of Bloody Lust), a quirky German trash-horror picture populated by a few Jess Franco regulars.     ...

    The feature length directorial debut of filmmaker Jeremy Kasten (who would go on to direct The Wizard Of Gore remake and, more recently, The Dead Ones), 2001’s The Attic Expeditions is an atmospheric mix of humor and horror that, despite some flaws, proves to be a pretty entertaining     ...

    The Theatre Bizarre – Movie Review:

    Inspired by the French ‘Grand Guignol’ Theatre popular in that country from the late 1800’s through to the mid-1900s, The Theatre Bizarre is an anthology film made by some of the most interesting talent working outside of the horror mainstream today. A very different sort of horror anthology than most of the established classics of the format (the Amicus films come to mind, as does Creepshow), The Theatre Bizarre offers no morals or lessons as so many of the E.C. Comics inspired stories often did but instead goes right for the jugular, more interested in shocking you than in enlightening you.     ...

    Convoy Busters – Movie Review:

    Convoy Busters is an odd retitling for a film that really has very little to do with convoys (it was known as Un poliziotto scomodo in Italy, which translates to An Uncomfortable Cop). Instead, this one plays out like a Dirty Harry style tale of a cop who pushes things too far. Don’t expect to hear from C. W. McCall (sadly) on the soundtrack or expect to see Kris Kirstofferson     ...

    The Demons – Movie Review:

    Jess Franco's 1973 film The Demons (or The Demons as it's called on the packaging for this Blu-ray release) may have drawn obvious inspiration from Ken Russell's film of The Devils but make no mistake, Franco's touch is all over this picture. This is evident from the start in which we see a woman accused of witchcraft stabbed with a pin.     ...
