ANIME REVIEW . Black Blood Brothers, Chapter 1 - Bad Tidings

Vampires have always maintained an undeniable appeal in genre fare, even in spite of countless lame fictions. In the film world, for every good Dracula movie there are a handful of Queen of the Damned, Vampire Wars, and Modern Vampires ... continued»

MOVIE REVIEW [He-Said, She-Said] . Stuck

HE SAID Unlike Diary of the Dead, the commentary found in Stuart Gordon’s latest is surprisingly subtle. Based on a true story, the film sees a health-worker hit a homeless man with her car following a late night dancing, drinking, drug ... continued»

HE SAID: Nympho teacher cyborg schoolgirl hooker penis gun gay gangster tiger man crippled hands tiger eat da penis...twice Love makes you do crazy things.

DVD REVIEW . A Chinese Torture Chamber Story

Ah, the classic Category III film. Their slew of absurd violence, near always strung together by a nonsensical plot, haphazard camerawork, and out-there acting, really make these an acquired taste -- and quite possibly one that is easy to grow ... continued»

D’oh! Missed Hostel 2, but free screenings of Go-Bots and Starblazers!

So we had planned on attending the Hostel 2 advanced screening in the city, with Eli Roth in attendance, but as luck would have it I had my dates mixed up. In fact, the screening actually started about an hour ago. Oh well. We'll try to get a review up sometime around it's release in a week or so. Some other cool ... continued»

MOVIE REVIEW [GUEST] . Cannibal Holocaust

Bestial gorefest? Pirandellian exploitation exposé? Both? The most notorious taster of the outrageously lurid Italian jungle-massacre subgenre, Ruggero Deodato's purposefully unwatchable opus questions the film image's validity while debasing it. The moral is didactic ("I wonder who the real cannibals ... continued»
