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….
The Wind Rises Blu-ray review (Shout Factory)
The Wind Blows is a two-hour animated historical drama feature from 2013 that takes a look at the life of Jiro Horikoshi, who was a successful designer Japanese fighter planes during World War II. This was to be the last film of director Hayao Miyazaki as he had retired but wound up coming out of…
Texas Across the River Blu-ray review
Texas Across the River is a 1966 comedy Western film shot in Techniscope. The film stars legendary actors Dean Martin and Alain Delon. Who would have thought Delon starred in a comedy Western film? Considering his resume of films the actor had been in I certainly would not have figured him to be in a…
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).

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…
Blu-ray Review – Venom – Legend of the Spider Forest (Twilight Time)
The original Twilight Time swore off horror films after the reactions they got to some of their titles, so it was quite surprising to see the new Twilight Time come back with an Ozploitation title, and a horror film. Venom – Legend of the Spider Forest is an early 1970’s British horror film from Australian…
Blu-ray Review – Freaky (Lionsgate)
OK, so I’m not exactly the go-to resource for modern mainstream horror flicks. However, when my wife told me that Freaky Friday had been essentially remade as a horror film, my first thought was WHY HADN’T THIS BEEN DONE BEFORE? And I knew I needed to see it! It’s a Blumhouse film though, and those…
