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”.

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…
Gunbuster: The Movie Blu-ray Review
On September 13, 2022, Sentai Filmworks re-issued the blu-ray of Gunbuster: the Movie having previously been released back in 2016 under Sector 23’s Maiden Japan banner. While this looks to be the same disc as the previous release but with updated cover art, I still tip my hat to Sentai Filmworks in keeping a seminal…
Seitokai Yakuindomo The Movie 2 Blu-ray Review
Released on September 20, 2022 courtesy of Sentai Filmworks, we have this delightfully obscene film continuance of the riotously raunchy anime series based on a 4-koma manga (a 4-panel gag comic not unlike ones you would see in our newspapers in the US) like Nichijou or Azumanga Diaoh. Seitokau Yakuindomo is very much like those…
Blu-ray Review – The Birds II: Land’s End – Vinegar Syndrome
Those mean old birds from Alfred Hitchcock’s famous movie about killer birds called Rope (1948) are back and boy howdy, they are mad. They’re frickin’ sick of humankind’s bullcrap what with our all of our polluting the Earth and blaring our loud music. I can’t confirm this but my cursory research indicates that birds especially…
Blu-ray Review – Massacre at Central High – Synapse Films
All is not well at Central High. The bullies run the school and every single kid there is too scared to do anything about it. Mark (Andrew Stevens) is one of the bullies and he foolishly thinks that his old friend David (Derrel Maury) should come to the school and join the gang. David is…
Abe Lincoln in Illinois Blu-ray review
There have been several movies over the years about our former President Abe Lincoln. There was Young Mr. Lincoln from 1939 starring Henry Fonda, a 2012 film called Lincoln starring Daniel-Day Lewis to name a couple. In 1940, Abe Lincoln in Illinois is another historical, biographical drama focusing on his life from his time in…
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…
