Santa Sangre is one of those truly perfect cinematic visions created by an auteur with such a visionary intensity that the whole film appears to be an absolute realization of director Alejandro Jodorowsky’s dreamlike vision. Jodorowsky similar to the Italian master Sergio Leone only directed a handful of features throughout his career, but when he…
UHD Review – Perdita Durango/Day of the Beast
Every since I saw Accione Mutante as a teenager I was a fan of Alex De La Iglesia. The problem has always been that his film’s have always been hard to come by. I saw Day of the Beast when I managed to oddly find a copy at a Blockbuster I worked at (which also…
UHD Review – SexWorld – Vinegar Syndrome
Although 1978’s Sex World is a porno variation on the premise of Westworld, it’s not exactly a parody. The movie makes explicit what the earlier, PG-rated movie heavily implied – that, if a futuristic fantasy vacation like the one in the film existed, its main appeal would be for tourists to live out their wildest…
TENET UHD 4K REVIEW
Tenet is a science-fiction action movie in which director Christopher Nolan has gone out of his way to confuse you. You thought Memento was confusing at first? Try Tenet.

UHD Review – They Live – Scream Factory
I admit I got my hands on They Live prior to this years election (2012), but held off on watching what is one of my all-time favorite politically infused genre films, simply because I was fed up with politics at the moment. I have said in the past, and I continue to maintain that one…

UHD Review – Tremors – Arrow Video
There were actually quite a decent number of creature-features in the 90’s everything from Deep Rising to Mimic and beyond, but if we are going to rate them all, only one truly comes out on top and that would be 1990’s Tremors, directed by Ron Underwood and starring Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward. This film…
EuroCultAV’s Best of and Holiday Gift Guide 2020
I can’t believe I’m already writing a best of for 2020. I feel like I’m speaking for the entire population of the planet when I say that his year just dragged. That being said in the midst of this there has been lots of cool pop-culture awesomeness released into the market. I don’t order these…
UHD Review – Deadly Games – Dial Code Santa Claus (Vinegar Syndrome)
I’ll just straight out admit that I did not anticipate what I got with Deadly Games – Dial Code Santa Claus (36.15 Code Pere Noel). I thought I had the killer Santa movie thing down at this point and had seen them all. I was wrong, very very wrong, and what I got here was…
