It's a simple idea: you have sex with someone, and the creature passes along to you. It takes many forms, but only people who have been affected can see it. It never stops following the most recent victim until they are dead or pass it along. If you pass it along but that person is … Continue reading It Follows (2014)
I heard this movie was created specifically because the practical effects guys wanted to showcase their work. What's funny is that there is some CGI involved here, and it looks terrible, so kudos to the practical effects folks; their stuff looks amazing here. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie comes down to being a poor … Continue reading Harbinger Down (2015)
This movie is...something. And there is no way to be safe for work while describing what happens in it. Yep, another Italian post-apocalyptic film, starring the likes of George Eastman (2019, After the Fall of New York, Anthropophagaus, Absurd, Hands of Steel), Anna Kanakis (2019, After the Fall of New York), Giovanni Frezza (The House … Continue reading The New Barbarians (1983)

Spookies was originally supposed to be a very different movie called Twisted Souls, a film that comes off as much more of an Evil Dead wannabe. Unfortunately once filming wrapped, the financial backer developed creative differences with everyone involved and hired a new producer, who in turn brought in a new editor/director, new camera crew, … Continue reading Spookies (1986)
Everything you need to know about this movie can be summed up in the following picture: A*P*E is a King Kong mockbuster that came out of South Korea around the same time as the Dino De Laurentiis King Kong remake from the 1970s. In fact, the film takes a couple of knocks at the remake … Continue reading A*P*E (1976)
In the future, we send probes into the past. Yet for some reason instead of trying to send small objects or things of that nature, we send faulty killbots. After sending one such killbot probe to the 1970s, Dr. Nicholas Sinclair decides to travel back in time to stop it from killing a family, only … Continue reading A.P.E.X. (1994)
"You don't recruit John Steele. You unleash him." I'll let the awesomeness of that tagline sink in for a moment. There are good action films. There are bad action films. And there are action films so ridiculous that after a while you realize you are watching it solely for the spectacle of it all and … Continue reading Steele Justice (1987)
I think I'm in love with Erin, the female lead. It was in the basement where I realized it, as she reduced what was once a human head to a pile of pulp using only a log and her critical thinking skills that I paused the film and actually told a friend "I'm in love … Continue reading You’re Next (2011)
A team of filmmakers follow around a serial killer as he goes about his business, but over time he eventually convinces them to take part in his crimes and work as his assistants in this darkly comic mockumentary. It's violent and sleazy, with a lead who openly reveals his racism and misogyny, his sexual fascinations, … Continue reading Man Bites Dog (1992)
