Dragons Forever is the final, and possibly the best of the three brothers (Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao), of course best is hard here, and that can change at the drop of a hat. The film has Chan playing a lawyer, who formerly worked on the criminal side of things, working with Sammo…
UHD Review – Freeway – Vinegar Syndrome
I haven’t seen Freeway since the 1990’s. This film which stars Reese Witherspoon as an illiterate teenager from a really messed up home life, is a fairy tale adaptation. This one, of course, is an adaptation of Red Riding Hood. In this one Witherspoon plays Vanessa, a teenage girl who finds her shitty existence turned…
Blu-ray Review – In the Folds of the Flesh – Mondo Macabro
Sergio Bergonzelli’s In the Folds of the Flesh is just about one of the most lurid, pulpy, and quite possibly downright strangest gialli one is likely to see. However, it doesn’t go over the deep-end in its weirdness and into the incomprehensible, and rather chooses to stay in the realm of the entertaining, and very…
Blu-ray Review – Horrible Sexy Vampire – Mondo Macabro
The Horrible Sexy Vampire (or the Highway Vampire as it’s Spanish title translates to) is a bizarre little Spanish horror entry from 1971 that I’ll own up to having never seen before this Blu-ray ended up in my player last weekend. The film opens up with a couple, tired from a road trip stopping for…
UHD Review – Army of Darkness – Scream Factory
Ashley J. Williams aka Ash (Bruce Williams) is a department store house wares clerk at S-Mart. He went on a vacation with his girlfriend/group of friends to a cabin in the woods, where an archaeologist had been translating an ancient occult text the “Necronomicon”. After Ash reads aloud from the book demonic deadites begin possessing…
Blu-ray Review – Satan’s Little Helper (Synapse)
Jeff Lieberman hasn’t directed a ton of films, but the films he has directed have struck deep into the minds of cult film fans. Squirm, Just Before Dawn, Blue Sunshine, and Remote Control are easy to recall just from name alone. After the early 80’s Lieberman directed some well-regarded documentaries before jumping back in with…
Blu-ray Review – Other Side of the Mirror – Mondo Macabro
My name is Scott MacDonald and I am a Franco-holic. To be fair I’ve only seen about 80 films, and I feel like that’s even THAT BAD considering this is a director with over 200 films to his credit. However, today I get to review one of the few big ones I had left to…
Blu-ray Review – Love Brides of the Blood Mummy – Mondo Macabro
Love Brides of the Blood Mummy is a French/Spanish co-production directed by Ken Ruder I’ve heard about for decades, but have only now just seen due to the new release by Mondo Macabro. The film follows an Egyptologist, James Barton, who has heard rumors of a local Count having actual mummies in his possession. As…
UHD Review – Return of the Living Dead – Scream Factory
I was introduced to Return of the Living Dead on an episode of Monstervision with Joe Bob Briggs in the 90’s. On that episode Joe Bob did his usual redneck schtick, and discussed everything from violence to the nudity in the film. The latter of which obviously could not be seen on TNT. He even…
Tabletop Review – Tales of the Red : Street Stories – (R. Talsorian Games)
Cyberpunk Red has been out for 3 years, and the book I’ve been waiting for has arrived (OK, well one of them haha). Tales of the Red – Street Stories is a compilation of 9 short modules for Cyberpunk Red. These for the most part can be run in 1-2 sessions each (the first one…
