Phenomena (Italian Psychic Power Insect Horror)
Dario Argento is a legend for many reasons, a director with a body of work most directors would kill for. While his work of recent memory has been scattershot at best, there’s no denying that he was on a tear from Deep Red until possibly The Stendhal Syndrome (some would say Opera). Today, we’re […]

Cocaine Bear (Drug Addicted Nature Horror Comedy)
Where did Elizabeth Banks come from? After the loathsome reattempt at a Charlie’s Angels revamp, Banks has apparently channeled her inner mad lad and gone plumb nuts with the absolutely savage Cocaine Bear. Is this thing stupid and needlessly gory? You better believe it. It’s also more fun than you’d imagine. This is Raising Arizona […]
Fauzi Mansur \ gore film \ splatter film \ VHS
The Ritual of Death (Satanic Splatter Horror)
Sometimes the shiniest bits of gold are tucked away in the dirtiest pockets of soot and slime. This analogy works with certain gore films, especially the late-80’s work of prolific South American pornographer Fauzi Mansur. Little is known on these shores about Mansur yet the man enjoys a small but fervent cult following to […]

Vortex (Decaying in Love Psychological Drama)
Have you ever watched a movie that rattled you deep to your core? The kind of film that you just can’t shake and the very thought brings tears to your eyes? Yeah, Vortex is one of those movies. Actually, it’s more than a mere piece of cinema, this is the dividing line where Gaspar […]

Infinity Pool (Murder Tourist Sci-Fi Horror Film)
Sometimes the fruit don’t fall far from the tree. After suffering through the career of Jennifer Chambers Lynch, it’s a high surprise that David Cronenberg’s son Brandon has arrived on the scene in such a rare talent, fully born and ready to kick ass. Possessor was loads of fun and very tough, but Infinity Pool kicks […]

Lost Faith (Christian Vigilante Murder Revenge Action Film)
Sometimes you have to go with God to find enlightenment, and at those times expect bursts of genuine lunacy at all times. This is the grasp on the Christian faith as espoused by Joel Wynkoop, who kicks much ass as would-be man-of-action “Steve Nekoda” in the 1992 video violator Lost Faith. Steve and his impossibly […]

Fair Game (Ozploitation Survival Revenge Film
Ozsploitation (or the rough and tumble flicks that came out of the Land Down Under as a result of the worldwide success of both George Miller’s Mad Max films and the Aussie New Wave of directors like Peter Weir) has experienced a frightening new surge in popularity thanks to doyens of culture like Quentin […]

Christmas Bloody Christmas (Terminator Santa Murder Film)
Is Joe Begos the future of horror? I’ve had this conversation more than once after seeing the masterful and exhilarating VFW and taking a deeper dive into his work on films like Bliss, I’m truly convinced that Mr. Begos is the guy. Like the masters of yore, he sneaks in some of his own […]

Creeper (Quasi-Retro Social Media Slasher)
Oh, look! Another Unearthed Films release has darkened my doorstep! And what has my absolute favorite pig trough of cinematic splatter swill got running for all us little gore piggies today? Looks like it’s a dire little opus called Creeper. What could this be? Let’s check it out. Cally and Erica are two socialites eerily […]

Mope (Seedy Black Comedy)
One of life’s rich pleasures in mining the cinematic abyss for new treasures is discovering a diamond in the rough, some proof that there’s still gold in them there hills. Is there anything left that can traumatize, mesmerize and pulverize like the classics of yore? Lucas Heyne’s Mope is dead proof that a movie can still come […]
