Legion (1998)

Made-for-TV misadventures, is there anything grander? Don't answer that, we both know there isn't. Legion is another made-for-tv movie, a 1998 science fiction horror picture that borrows more than a little from the likes of Aliens, Predator, and The Dirty Dozen. It's a story of prisoner soldiers in wartime turning on each other to confront … Continue reading Legion (1998) →

Karate Cop (1991)

It is the future. Solar flares have led to environmental catastrophe. A once proud America is now a mixture of totalitarian states, gang territories, and warlord fiefdoms. With everyone scrounging for the scraps, who are the few good people left to rely on? A woman with a bare face runs through darkened streets and alleys, … Continue reading Karate Cop (1991) →

Mulberry Street (2006)

Hey folks, it's been a while. I took a break from here for a few months to allow myself to recharge. I know, you wanted your cheap and exploitative fix, and I wasn't here providing the sugar. I'm sorry. I was busy getting married. Anyway, I have a tradition every October of watching 31 horror … Continue reading Mulberry Street (2006) →

The Being (1983)

The state of Idaho is a weird combination of small town Americana, anti-porn political activism that turns into hypocritical terrorism, and radioactive nuclear dumping sites. It's even got a country music radio station. Yep, Idaho is just like everywhere else, only with more potatoes. And more nuclear mutants. The small town of Pottsville, Idaho, is … Continue reading The Being (1983) →

Annihilation (2018)

I never really thought about it, but mold can be pretty. It's also gross and terrifying. This movie has a lot of weird mold in it, along with a lot of mutation. It's also a great look at the ultimate bad place, a place where biology doesn't work properly, and cell growth is twisted. It … Continue reading Annihilation (2018) →

Uninvited (1988)

Huh, I followed a killer dog movie with a killer cat movie. A corrupt rich man spots a couple of bikini-clad beauties and invites them to come visit the Caribbean on his yacht. Along the way they bring a trio of guys and a cat they find. Unfortunately once they get on board, the SEC … Continue reading Uninvited (1988) →

Island of Lost Souls (1932)

That poster is needlessly exploitative and also wholly wrong about what this movie is about. It's not about the "Panther Woman" destroying men but instead about the horrors of science run amok at the hands of unethical scientists. So, you know, not something we needed to be advertising in Germany in the 1930s... Island of … Continue reading Island of Lost Souls (1932) →

The Fly II (1989)

The Fly is an incredible movie that provides both excellent body horror shocks and wonderful performances along with a stellar plot. Its sequel...not so much. Sure, it can be every bit as gross, but the script just isn't up to snuff of its Academy Award-winning predecessor. That doesn't mean it's not worth checking out if … Continue reading The Fly II (1989) →

The Suckling (1990)

Well, if Bloody Wednesday wasn't sleazy enough to get your gears grinding, perhaps you'd be more into The Suckling. A teenager is taken by her boyfriend to a whorehouse to get a back alley abortion, and the fetus gets exposed to toxic waste. It then mutates, traps everyone inside the house using a giant placenta, … Continue reading The Suckling (1990) →

Nightmare City (1980)

In the wake of George Romero's Of the Dead series, Italy's exploitation community went more than a little nuts with zombie films, leading to the Zombi/Zombie/Zombie Flesh Eaters series, depending on the region. Most of the films that appear in these disparate series are not actually related in any way, but titles were changed or … Continue reading Nightmare City (1980) →
