It’s a cold, sad night for the Brooks family. Christine (Lynn Carlin) wants nothing more than for her son Andy (Richard Backus) to come home from Vietnam and implores the heavens to bring him back. Unfortunately, soon the family receives a letter than Andy has been killed in Vietnam. The thing is, Andy does come…
Goodbye Uncle Tom [Blue Underground] 4K Blu-ray Review
The Premise: Documentarians have traveled back to the antebellum southern United States during the pre-Civil War era when slavery was rampant. Their goal is to capture and expose the cruelty and horrors of the slave trade in as realistic a manner as possible. Witness slave ships with poor souls packed into the galley like sardines,…
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). Jeffreys is a ruthless witchfinder in the 17th century (in reality though he was more concerned with traitors to the crown) who while in his day-to-day…
The Girl from Rio – 4K Ultra HD / Blu-ray Review (Blue Underground)
After stealing 10 million dollars in stolen money, Jeff Sutton (Richard Wyler) finds himself on the run in Rio de Janeiro. First, he’s pursued by Sir Masius (George Sanders), a gangster who has as much style and class as he does henchman. And trust me, he has a lot of henchmen. Next, Jeff runs afoul…
Quiet Days in Clichy – 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Review (Blue Underground)
Joey and Carl are two down and out reprobates- oops, I mean writers in Paris. These two walking hard-ons get into all sorts of ridiculous and impossible shenanigans involving sex, food, and money. Sometimes, all three at the same time. There are lots of beautiful women that come and go, and they are all treated…
UHD Review – God Told Me To… Kill – Blue Underground
Larry Cohen may be my favorite of the classic American exploitation directors. His films whether just written or directed by have a tendency to blend multiple genres that from the outside might not flow logically into one another, and make it feel seamless. His Q: The Winged Serpent blends elements of crime films with creature…
UHD Review – Uncle Sam – Blue Underground
The first time I saw Uncle Sam was during the 90’s slasher revival. It has not been that long, so I’m sure a good many of you remember this. A little flick from Wes Craven called Scream hit theaters in 1996, and was so wildly popular that slasher films became trendy for the first time…
UHD Review – The Final Countdown – Blue Underground
Where does one begin with a film like this. As fresh as fresh eyes get, this was my first time seeing this and while the presentation likely can’t get any better, the film itself left me somewhat wanting. Top name actors giving top notch performances that we’ve all come to expect, in fact I’d say…
UHD Review – Maniac Cop 2/3 – Blue Underground
Bill Lustig will probably go down in the annals of cinema as the director to use the word Maniac in his titles more than any other. His first film is the sleazy, over the top slasher classic Maniac (also my favorite slasher film ever). He followed that film up with the similarly excellent Vigilante (starring…
UHD Review – Two Evil Eyes – Blue Underground
In the late 1980’s Dario Argento and George Romero tried to work together to create an anthology horror film based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Initially they were going to get 4 directors together, but ended up just making 2 short films at the length of one hour each between Romero and Argento….
