Subkultur Films is making their way into the American market with this UHD/Blu combo of OUT OF ORDER, an incredibly tense and claustrophobic cross between a disaster film and character piece. On a Friday evening, four people find themselves trapped in an elevator. Facing the threat of a weekend trapped in the elevator and limited…
Blu-ray Review – Satan’s Children – AGFA
The 1970’s were a boom for exploitation films, everyone and their mother could get a film into seedy grindhouses and drive-ins. Florida was one of the many regional hotspots for horror and exploitation, and with audiences going gaga in the late 60’s/early 70’s for occult and satanic films, in came a tiny film from the…
Blu-ray Review- Final Flesh – AGFA
If you were like me, you enjoyed comedy that was left of center, stuff like WONDER SHOZEN, which aired on MTV2, and XAVIER: RENEGADE ANGEL, which aired on Adult Swim. Both of these were co-created by Vernon Chatman, who wrote this film I’m reviewing today, FINAL FLESH. The film is about a family of four…
Tabletop Review – Dungeons and Dragons – Journey Through the Radiant Citadel – Wizards of the Coast
Journey Through the Radiant Citadel is a mix of short adventures that players and DM’s can either play as one or two shots, or slot into an going campaign. Aside from that it also works as an way of establishing the Radiant Citadel itself, a new location situated in the Ethereal Plane. When Journey Through…

UHD Review – God Told Me To… Kill – Blue Underground
Larry Cohen may be my favorite of the classic American exploitation directors. His films whether just written or directed by have a tendency to blend multiple genres that from the outside might not flow logically into one another, and make it feel seamless. His Q: The Winged Serpent blends elements of crime films with creature…
Blu-ray Review – Strangler vs. Strangler – Mondo Macabro
Strangler Vs. Strangler I had no idea what to expect when I popped STRANGLER VS STRANGLER into my blu ray player, but what I got was a bizarre slice of filmmaking from a region I have never experienced before. STRANGLER VS STRANGLER is a Serbian serial killer/dark comedy/quasi documentary about a man with the gnarliest…
Blu-ray Review – Wicked World – AGFA
I have been searching for the proper words to describe the experience of watching WICKED WORLD and I still truly do not have the proper words. An absolutely brain melting insane piece of weirdo SOV filmmaking. This is my first experience with the work Barry J. Gillis, who had written and starred in the Canadian…
UHD Review – Flesh Eater – Vinegar Syndrome
FLESH EATER is a movie that shouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable as the final product ended up being. You cannot blame Bill Hinzman for cashing in his claim to fame as the cemetery zombie in George A. Romero’s seminal classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Hinzman doesn’t just coast on those zombie laurels either, in…
