If you’ve read my reviews on EuroCultAV.com you might know I don’t really get into declaring extremes. Therefore you will rarely see at least myself declare a best of, worst of, or anything of that nature. Manos: The Hands of Fate was a film made by Harold P. Warren an El Paso fertilizer salesman in…
Maniac UHD Review
The movie title “Maniac” has been used a few times throughout our cinematic history. Dwain Esper’s 1934 shocker, entitled Maniac, which featured Phyllis Diller, was strong stuff for its time especially when a cat’s eyeball is squeezed out of its head. The 1963 Hammer film starring Kerwin Mathews also titled Maniac was decent but nothing…
ZOMBIE UHD REVIEW
Whether the film is called Zombie, Zombi, Zombi 2 or Zombie Flesh Eaters, this movie, which I’ll be referring to as ‘Zombie’ is one of the most beloved walking dead films by legions of horror fans. Directed by Lucio Fulci, known by horror cinephiles for his utterly brutal and nauseatingly gross horror flicks. Arguably, Zombie…

Andre Gregory & Wallace Shawn 3 Films (My Dinner With Andre, Vanya on 42nd Street, A Master Builder) (Criterion Collection) Blu-ray Review
I came to the work of Andre Gregory and Wallace Shawn well over a decade ago, when one of my short films was positively compared to the duo’s original collaboration My Dinner with Andre. I had seen bits of the film before, but had never sat through the entirety of it. I immediately picked up…
Augst (Cult Epics) Blu-ray Review

The film opens with his release from prison, where he makes it immediately apparent that prison was the precise correct place for him to be, as right away upon his release he begins narrating his back story about the psychological trauma that led him down his…
As Good As It Gets (Twilight Time) Blu-ray Review
As Good As It Gets is a film much like it’s 1997 pop drama brethren Good Will Hunting, and Titanic is a film I actively avoided seeing back in my Freshman year of high school. Although it does feature older characters it was a smash hit even amongst the teenagers in my grade, and above,…
