Actress Katt Shea lost a bet once, and her husband made her visit a strip club.

Operation Red Sea (2018)
Oh yeah, it's time for some highly watchable Chinese propaganda! If you didn't immediately cheer with delight, you may want to go read something else, because highly watchable propaganda is exactly what Operation Red Sea is, and while it's propaganda...it's also pretty awesome. The film starts with an introduction of the majority of your main … Continue reading Operation Red Sea (2018)
The Crazies (1973)
The early 1970s was a wild time. American confidence in the military was hugely eroded thanks to the war in Vietnam. Our opinion of government had been shot to shit by years of political failure regarding the war, the Cold War, and Nixon's illegitimate reelection tactics. The Civil Rights movement had ended in perceived victory … Continue reading The Crazies (1973)
Overlord (2018)
This movie exists like a weird hybrid of the horror in the Outpost series and occasionally the camp of the film Zone Troopers. More so the Outpost series, but who am I to complain about a Nazisploitation horror movie? It's 1944. D-Day has arrived, and the Allied forces are storming the beaches of Normandy. Unfortunately, … Continue reading Overlord (2018)
Night Hunter (1996)
Ah, the 1990s, when the mullets and male ponytails of the 1980s had transitioned to the bad guys, along with designer suits featuring shoulder pads. Now all the villains are massive body builders with leather do-rags, and they run in pricey restaurants and upscale hotels. It was truly a magical time, where you could spot … Continue reading Night Hunter (1996)
Long Weekend (1978)
Yeah, that's right, I followed Dead Weekend with another weekend movie, Long Weekend, and I did it in the middle of the week. I'm edgy, woo. I'll see myself out. Long Weekend is a 1978 Australian horror film about a couple in a failing marriage on a camping trip to the beach, where they pollute, … Continue reading Long Weekend (1978)
Dead Weekend (1995)
Dead Weekend is kind of like Repo Man with Emilio Estevez, in that it has a punk aesthetic mixed in with its tale of overly zealous government forces and an unknown force. Also, punks show up, and they're violent. Both appear to be set in Los Angeles. Both movies end the same way too, with … Continue reading Dead Weekend (1995)
Death Laid an Egg (1968)
Yeah, that title is unusual. Does it make you more or less interested in watching this late 1960s giallo? As awkward as it is, it does actually fit the plot. Italy, the late-1960s. Italians aren't eating enough chicken, so one clever agrarian who is a member of a consortium of the infamous chicken farming business … Continue reading Death Laid an Egg (1968)
Train to Busan (2016)
Zombie horror movies. I couldn't tell you how many of them I've seen over the years by now. There just doesn't seem like much new that these kinds of films can give us, and then, BAM! Out of nowhere, you suddenly find one that makes the subgenre interesting, if not necessarily relevant. It's weird how … Continue reading Train to Busan (2016)
