“Switchblade Sisters” aka “The Jezebels” (1975)
I had no idea when I saw this on Watch Instantly that it was another flick from Tarantino’s Rolling Thunder pictures, especially considering my last review for Couch Cutter was Detroit 9000. While it might seem like I’m going through the whole Rolling Thunder catalog, it was actually another auteur, Albert Pyun, that made me seek [...]
“Destroy All Monsters” (Blu-Ray)
I don’t typically do these blu-ray reviews, where the quality of the release is on trial more than the film itself. But, being that we are in the 21st century, I felt it was time we give it a go. “Destroy All Monsters” is the mother of classic Godzilla films and Media Blasters have given [...]
“The Bunny Game” (2010)
After reading and hearing mixed reactions about Adam Rehmeier’s “The Bunny Game”, I had to seek it out. Some called it the next logical step in torture porn, some called it mindless filth, glorifying the mistreatment of women (it was banned in the UK under this flawed logic), while some refer to it as a [...]
“American Maniacs” (2012)
Where does one begin to explain CM Downs’ “American Maniacs” (aka “FETCH”)? From its gritty, high contrasted visuals to its downright angry story (penned by “Deadgirl” writer, Trent Haaga), this is a flick made for hardcore fans of the genre. In a small Kansas town, country life is anything but simple or safe. The inhabitants [...]
“Detroit 9000″ (1973)
I first saw this movie in high school when I bought it on VHS and watched it with some buddies. Back then we had this thing about anything 70s. We weren’t obsessed or anything, it was more like we found the whole thing– the music, the clothes, the slang– hilarious. This movie definitely hit the [...]
“New Gladiators” (1984)
I’d been meaning to check this one out for a while, but with Netflix looking to dump it from Watch Instantly, I figured I’d better do it now before I miss my chance. New Gladiators (I guerrieri dell’anno 2072 for the purists) takes place in the late 21st century, in a time when two TV [...]
“Astron-6 Collection” (2011)
My sad, desperate love for Astron-6 knows no bounds, so it should come as no surprise that I love this amazing collection of their shorts. Heavily influenced by the VHS era of film, but often accompanied with a morbidly comedic twist, Astron-6′s unique style of humor is one of the best things to happen to [...]
“Dracula A.D.” (1972)
My main beef with George Lucas is the fact that he didn’t have more Christopher Lee in his three newer Star Wars films. The first one, for instance, should’ve just been the beginning, the Darth Maul fight, then an hour of Christopher Lee as Count Dooku fighting his evil werewolf sister. Am I wrong in [...]
“She-Devils on Wheels” (1968)
I was paging through the offerings on Netflix Watch Instantly, and came across She-Devils on Wheels. I was intrigued to see what Herschell Gordon Lewis could do with the biker genre, and when I saw how great the trailer was, I knew I had to give it a look. She-Devils on Wheels follows a gang [...]
“The Savage Seven” (1968)
A few months back I looked at a movie called Hell Ride for the Direct to Video Connoisseur, a biker flick from 2008 produced by Quentin Tarentino and directed by Larry Bishop. It didn’t work for me, and a big reason why was that it was too mired in its own plot, something I seldom [...]
