Zombie cinema is an interesting thing. In the last few decades it seems the living dead have been everywhere on TV, in the movies, but for years after cinema began you would be lucky to see a long zombie on screens. Sure, throughout the 1930’s and 1940’s you would get an occasional White Zombie, King…

Blu-ray Review – Walker – Criterion
Walker, and I will be completely upfront in the review about this, is arguably Alex Cox’s best film. I have probably watched Repo Man more than this for sheer enjoyment factor (and I’d say both are masterpieces in their own right). But Walker seems to be the film where everything came together for Cox as…

UHD Review – American Werewolf in London – Arrow Video
ohn Landis’ 1980 film An American Werewolf in London has the personal distinction of being my 2nd favorite horror film of all-time (The #1 being Lucio Fulci’s The Beyond). I first saw this on tape over 25 years ago for the first time, and have owned copies in every format (in multiple editions) ever since….
