Evil Dead Trap / 死霊の罠 (Experimental J-Horror Slasher)
Here’s a good one, but not for reasons you’d likely guess. Having heard the legends of the “Evil Dead Trap Trilogy” (is it really though?), I was always curious about them, but not until I learned that 88 Films was doing their own Blu-ray drop of the first and second did I decide I […]

Nightmare Beach (Spring Breaker Motorcycle Slasher)
What better genre for Italian sleaze director Umberto Lenzi to try his hand in than the slasher? With success in creating some of the more notorious films of the 1970s and 1980s, including controversial Cannibal Ferox, part of the cannibal film boom, he already had, actually, with Eyeball (1975). Here, according to Lenzi originally, […]

The Woman & Offspring (Cannibalistic Social Horror)
Damn this set slays. Though I’m more partial to The Woman, thus the focus of the header and main site image, Arrow Video are soon to grace us with a special 4K double feature of 2009’s Offspring and its 2011 sequel with plenty of bonus features packed tight. Offspring is known for its extreme […]

The Sadness – 哭悲 (Taiwanese Pandemic Body Horror)
The zombie thing is normally redundant, but, luckily, there are enough creative minds out there to twist the tropes into new forms that are easily understood, yet different in their themes. That brings us to a new 4K release from Vinegar Syndrome of the Taiwanese body horror slaughterfest, The Sadness, feature-length debut of Canadian […]

Cannibal Apocalypse (Vietnam Cannibal Zombie Horror)
It’s always a good day when a highly underrated splatter classic hits 4K, and this month it’s Antonio Margheriti’s Cannibal Apocalypse letting loose compliments of Kino Lorber. Also known as Cannibals in the Streets and Invasion of the Flesh Hunters, this lean and mean dose of nastiness has been shocking audiences ever since its […]

Dead End Drive-in (Dystopian Dayglo Horror Drama)
Described by none other than Quentin Tarantino as his favorite film in the “Exploration” subgenre, Brian Trenchard-Smith’s Dead End Drive-in receives a jam packed 2-disc UHD special edition from the fine folks at Umbrella Entertainment. A queasy mix of dayglo Post-Nuke goodness and genuinely effective social satire, this film is a personal favorite for […]

Burial Ground (Italian Zombie Splatter Depravity)
Now in the “completely bugged out” category of Cinema, Andrea Bianchi’s Burial Ground returns to amaze us all in the definitive version compliments of our friends at Severin Films. This film has confused and amused us for decades since its release in 1983 by Motion Picture Marketing and subsequent VHS edition by the legendary […]

Rabid Grannies (Horror Comedy More Like Gorror Comedy)
Get ready for more Grade-A Troma quirkiness with Vinegar Syndrome’s new release of Emmanuel Kerwyn’s Rabid Grannies. This one has been the stuff of legend ever since 1989/1990 when Troma and Media Home Entertainment released their horribly cut VHS edition. Rumors that this was an out-and-out gorefest a la Demons swirled through the underground […]

The Primevals (The Lost Stop-Motion Sci-Fi Legend)
We can finally all rest in peace, with smiles on our faces. The story of The Primevals is long, though quite interesting. The brainchild of David Allen (RIP), known for his stop motion work on a variety of films, including the original Puppet Master (1990) and odd stints doing animation sequences for others, even […]

Trick or Treat (Resurrected Horror Musical)
After a long gestation period and serious time spent in Rights Hell, Charles Martin Smith’s Trick or Treat is finally getting a new US release compliments of our buddies at Synapse Films. In an unprecedented move by Synapse, the company has chosen to “leak” their new transfer a full year ahead of release date […]
