When I first got into Italian and European horror in the late 90’s, I began grabbing any and all titles I could. If It was Argento, Bava, Fulci, Deodato, Martino I felt I was in good hands. As I began to wade deeper into the unknown Euro-waters I began to hit proverbial landmines. One of…
Blu-ray Review Dr. Who and the Daleks/Daleks’ – Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (Kino Lorber)
Anyone who has read this site with any frequency over the last decade should know that aside from the European cult and horror films that gives this site its name, my other obsession is Doctor Who. Most notably the classic run of the show that ran from 1963-1989. I’ve seen every existing episode of Doctor…
Blu-ray Review – Little Monsters – Vestron Video
As a kid I loved horror movies, but wasn’t always given access to them. Luckily, I grew up in the 80’s so there were a number of films that were “children’s” films that at least offered up the scares in family friendly ways. Fred Dekker’s iconic Monster Squad being the most obvious, alongside Tim Burton’s…
Blu-ray Review – Massacre in Dinosaur Valley – Severin Films
This week I had a conversation with someone about European horror over a Zoom meeting. Behind me is a mini-poster of Horror of the Zombies (aka Amando de Ossorio’s The Ghost Galleon), and it was inquired as to what that film was. It was then asked what the differences were between European and American horror….
Blu-ray Review – Dr. Stone (Funimation)
OK, so sometimes I’ll get a series in the mail with no expectations pop it in and just watch. I like these, because honestly it offers some amount of surprise, sometimes good, sometimes bad. In the case of Dr. Stone I hadn’t even heard of the show, and by the end of Season 1’s first…
Blu-ray Review – Cruel Jaws (Severin Films)
On the last Saturday of every month for the last 6 years Richard Glenn Schmidt of DoomedMoviethon and myself (among others) get together to live Tweet a movie, sometimes more than 1. Literally, last night (9/26/20) was one of those nights. We did a double feature of Bruno Mattei’s Italian Schlock classics Robowar and Shocking…
Blu-ray Review – The Ones Within – Complete Series (Funimation)
When I started “The Ones Within” I thought I was in for just another series where people from the real world get thrown into their video game of choice. It seems in the aftermath of Overlord, this type of thing has almost become a cliché. This one is a tad different in its approach, because…
Blu-ray Review – Shivers – Vestron Video
I remember a time when seeing the early works on David Cronenberg was damn near impossible, works like Shivers, Fast Company, even stuff like the Brood and Rabid were difficult to secure in small-town Florida where I was raised. His even earlier more experimental films like Stereo and Crimes of the Future were next to…
Blu-ray Review – Armored Trooper VOTOMS – Complete Collection – Maiden Japan
Admittedly, it has been a long year, so my memory has been a bit worse than usual in regards to all the releases that have come across my desk. But if you were to ask me what my favorite anime release of 2020 was, I’d have to say this SD on Blu-ray release of Armored…
Blu-ray Review – Skinned Alive (Make Flix/Tempe Digital)
The mid 80’s through the mid 90’s was pretty much the glory days of backyard horror. Most of this ended up being shot on video (SOV) as that made filmmaking more accessible to more people (which lead to so much cool crazy stuff being made), but some filmmakers still managed to get some violent crazy…
