This is also known as Clive Barker's Lord of Illusions, because Clive Barker likes making sure his name is on things. Good old Clive Barker. He gave us Hellraiser, Nightbreed, Candyman, and a whole bunch of other movies not really worth remembering compared to all of his writing, video games, art, action figure line...I think … Continue reading Lord of Illusions (1995)
Oh, oh man. You know when you find a movie so bizarre, so grotesque, that you just have to talk about it? Body Melt is that kind of movie. It's an Australian body horror splatter film from the early 1990s, and it reflects that in every possible way: the soundtrack is early '90s dance beats, … Continue reading Body Melt (1993)

But The Exorcist III brings in George C. Scott as a homicide detective to investigate the possible ghost of a serial killer, and along … Continue reading The Exorcist III (1990)
Let me start this off by saying that I own 9 of the currently 13 Puppet Master movies. I have also never watched any of them. So of course I totally decided to hop in in the midst of the sewage that is any long-running horror franchise post-"final chapter" film. Can you think of a … Continue reading Curse of the Puppet Master (1998)
In the distant future of 1999, street gangs have carved out free fire zones that cops will not enter around schools in major cities. These gangs, armed with automatic weapons and explosives, act as their own form of law in these lawless territories, where they murder, rape, pillage, abuse drugs, and do whatever else they … Continue reading Class of 1999 (1990)
