I have been writing for about 2-3 years now about the resurgence of Jose Larraz on home video. I thought it was great when we got Symptoms on Blu-ray at long last, but then we got a bunch of films from Arrow, and now Rest in Pieces from Vinegar Syndrome. It’s crazy to think that…
Blu-ray Review – Mallrats – Arrow Video
Mallrats is interesting. I hate to say this is one of those films that drove me to becoming the film nerd I am. The first director’s I fell for were John Carpenter and George Romero, but then years later a friend’s Mom recommended to my Mother of all people to see Clerks, so she did.She…
Blu-ray Review – Cemetery of Terror – Vinegar Syndrome
If you look up into the EuroCultAV banner, you’ll see Hugo Stiglitz. That’s not just any Hugo Stiglitz, that is Hugo Stiglitz from this film Cemetery of Terror, so needless to say when this month’s Vinegar Syndrome pile came in the mail, this film went straight to the top. The films of Rubén Galindo Jr.,…

Blu-ray Review – The Black Cat (Severin)
Dario Argento’s film Inferno came out in 1980, and was essentially panned by critics, rejected by the American studio who helped finance it, and watched fans ignore it as it was not the “Suspiria 2” they were looking for.

Blu-ray Review – Lady Death – Sentai Filmworks
When I was a teenager I would buy every issue of Fangoria I could get my hands on. In almost every issue throughout the 90’s there were ads for Chaos! Comics and their characters like Purgatori, Chastity, Evil Ernie, and of course, Lady Death! Being a horror-fanboy-metalhead, I ended up eating Chaos’ unique brand of…
Blu-ray Review – A Certain Scientific Accelerator (Funimation)
When A Certain Scientific Accelerator hit my mailbox, I was unaware of this entry in the Index saga. So needless to say I had to squeeze in the time to watch it being a fan of the entries in the series I have seen so far. This series follows the antagonist of the prior entries…
Blu-ray Review – Africa Salaryman (Funimation)
I don’t really believe this, but at times I feel that maybe we all are living in a simulation. Coincidences being so on the nose on the regular that it feels like it’s been written to be that way. A few weeks ago the Blu-ray of Africa Salaryman ended up on my doorstep, at the…

This post will be covering Oct. 6th through 8th where I tackled such fun themes as euro horror, found footage, horror from Argentina and Korea and bastions of cheap nonsense like shot-on-video horror and The Asylum. Head to the next page and dig in!…
