Anyone who talks to me about my favorite horror films for even 10 minutes will find out my great admiration for J.P. Simon’s “Pieces”. I’ve seen this film theatrically, I’ve owned it on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray and if a 4K disc comes out, I’ll be in line right away to buy it. At the…
Blu-ray Review – Ascendance of a Bookworm – Sentai Filmworks
Ascendance of a Bookworm is one of the more interesting isekai anime series I’ve seen in recent times. It seems since Overlord (my beginning reference point for the genre). There have been an abundance of isekai springing up, and not a lot of them have much to really offer outside of superficial differences. That is…
Blu-ray Review- Chidori RSC – Sentai Filmworks
Chidori RSC is an adaptation of the manga series “Rifle is Beautiful” by the writer and illustrator Salmiakki. When this found it’s way to my doorstep, the first thing I noticed was the obvious, cute girls with guns. The second thing I noticed was the resemblance of two of the cute girls, to 2 of…
Blu-ray Review – The Curious Dr. Humpp (AGFA)
Admittedly the most I had previously seen from the Curious Dr. Humpp was from the Something Weird Video intro reel that was included on every DVD release from the company. It was enough to entice me to WANT to see it, but I never did get around to this wild slice of Argentinian softcore until…
Blu-ray Review – Dark Tower – Vinegar Syndrome
I don’t think anyone looking at the cover of the Dark Tower will confuse this with the recent adaptation of the Stephen King book series. However, as a preface I’ll just say this has nothing to do with that. This Dark Tower film follows the goings on in an unfinished office building in Barcelona. The…
Blu-ray Review – Killing Bites (Sentai Filmworks)
Killing Bites follows the exploits of Yuya and Hitomi. As the series opens Yuya is an accomplice to the Hitomi’s kidnapping and attempted gang-rape (this is hard to watch). He tries to put a stop to it, but as it turns out, Hitomi was straight up able to do that by brutally killing her kidnappers….
Blu-ray Review – Queens of Evil – Mondo Macabro
A few winters ago my good friend Brad (who co-host the wonderful “Hello this is the Doomed Show!”, listen to it!) sent me a stack of DVD-R’s of films he thought I might have missed out on, or films that he knew I liked but weren’t out on DVD, Blu-ray, etc yet. One of these…
Blu-ray Review – Blood Ceremony – Mondo Macabro
I will have to admit that until the Blood Ceremony Blu-ray landed in my mailbox I had not seen any films by Jorge Grau outside of his famous Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (aka Let Sleeping Corpses Lie). So needless to say I excited to expand my knowledge of Grau’s oeuvre. Blood Ceremony (aka the…
Blu-ray Review – Panic Beats – Mondo Macabro
Classic Paul Naschy films are sort of an addiction for me. When another one finds its way into my mailbox, it also tends to find its way my Blu-ray player almost immediately. This month Mondo Macabro have unleashed the sadistic and brilliant Naschy film Panic Beats an upgrade for their previous and over a decade…
Blu-ray Review – Man from Hong Kong (Twilight Time)
If I want a sheer unadulterated good time with a movie, I turn to no one else but Brian Trenchard-Smith. Trenchard-Smith who could be considered one of the Kings of Ozploitation cinema made high adrenaline, super action packed cinema that was sheer fun from start to finish, and it was ALWAYS like this. His debut…
