BLOOD RAGE is the 80's slasher at its most pure. There are teens, they hang out (for thanksgiving), and then they killed in horrific ways. That's it! There's nothing more to this 24 frames a second moving picture. Don't look for any social commentary, or a plot, or...
The Bloody Satisfaction of ‘The Black Tavern’ (1972) – Review
Endless snow. Horses. An empty tavern. Bounty hunters with deadly secrets. Shocking violence. No, this isn't THE HATEFUL EIGHT. It's the Shaw Bros should-be-a-classic wuxia THE BLACK TAVERN. THE BLACK TAVERN* is a low budget exploitation riff on King Hu's arty DRAGON...
Ben Wheatley’s ‘High Rise’ Trailer is Here
HIGH RISE was one of the best films I saw at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2015. It's also going to piss a lot of people off. The random movie goer looking for a comedy starring Tom Hiddleston are going to find themselves face to face with a nasty, plot...

Terminal Island (1973) – Review
Death row prisoners are banished to an island and forced to fend for themselves in this exploitation take on LORD OF THE FLIES that succeeds in it's straight forward execution - almost to the point of stark utilitarianism. Director Sophie Rothman has said in...
Billy Jack (1971) – Review
For years, the highest grossing independent film ever was Billy Jack. Made on a budget of 800,000$, it went on to gross (reportedly) over 40 million and it's not hard to see why it was such a success. It's got a bad-ass hero (who's about an inch from being a...
Brotherhood of Death (1976) – Reviews
There's nothing more satisfying then watching a racist asshole die a horrible death. I was hoping that BROTHERHOOD OF DEATH would hit that exploitation sweet spot and the synopsis really got my hopes up: "A trio of African Americans from a small town go to fight in...
The Christmas Movie Marathon: 21 – 25
And so the Christmas marathon comes to an end. Not with a bang, but with a row of comforting films in the shape of a warm blanket. I'm not going to review them, because they are unabashedly great, and I have nothing of real value on to add. Could I have forced myself...
The Christmas Movie Marathon: 16 – 20
I'm in the home stretch and now the film's are getting extra out there. WIND CHILL (2007) From the director of MAGIC MIKE XXL, comes a spooky tale of the supernatural. Emily Blunt stars as a College student who catches a ride with a creepy ass ride share participant...
