Night of the Blood Monster a.k.a. The Bloody Judge [Blue Underground] 4K Blu-ray Review
Christopher Lee stars as the cold and merciless Judge Jeffreys, based on a real person (although our old pal Jess Franco takes massive liberties with the historical source material).

Killer Condom – 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Review (Vinegar Syndrome)
If you haven’t seen Killer Condom before, you should skip my paragraph of plot description because my enjoyment of the film was greatly increased by going in as cold and limp as possible.
