Deadgirl (Zombie Slave Lover Film)
If you ever feel yourself begin to crave a film that provides necrophilia, a coming-of-age story, or body horror all in bloodied package, there’s Deadgirl. Made in 2008 and released for its 15th anniversary by Unearthed in 2023, the film has aged surprisingly well. The story follows two teenage boys, Rickie (Shiloh Fernandez) and […]

Centipede Horror (蜈蚣咒) – Insects Can Act Hong Kong Creepy Crawly Sorcery
Centipede Horror, 1982 exploitation film from Hong Kong revitalized by Error 4444, does not give up the gore easy. A steady chug through an intriguing narrative, with well-placed moments of special effects throughout, pays off when key moments burst out and crawl. When Pak (Michael Miu) goes to Southeast Asia to uncover the cause of […]

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 […]

Negative Prayer – Self // Wound (Repulsive Body Horror Crust Metal)
Oooo this one has some power behind it. I guess it has to since it fits easily into the crust metal genre but yet… I don’t like dropping tags often, but Portland, Oregon’s Negative Prayer can definitely be rooted in that as well as the tradition of d-beat, yet, hmm, there’s something different here… […]
