Jean Rollin On Blu-ray: THE NUDE VAMPIRE Review
When I started reviewing Kino discs, I had no idea that they would be so perfect for continuing series. However, after the positive feedback I got from the Buster Keaton series, and Kino's new partnership with Redemption Films and their... More »
  

UNDERWATER LOVE DVD Review
The high-concept low brow film is nothing new, especially among those of us who follow independent films.  Unfortunately, most of them seem to fail in either one or both of those categories, as it is a difficult tight rope to... More »
  

CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST Blu-ray Review
Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust is among the most polarizing films in cinema history. The brutal display of savagery among the fame hungry camera crew and the real life violence against animals on screen turn many hardened gore fans against this,... More »
  

IN A GLASS CAGE Blu-ray Review
Augustin Villaronga's In a Glass Cage is a film that is best experienced alone, I think. This tale of abuse, revenge, and madness is thoroughly disturbing and nihilistic. In a Glass Cage is often mentioned in the same company as... More »
  

THE KILLER ELEPHANTS DVD Review
These days Thai film means one thing to most of our readers, and that is action.  We've seen the recent renaissance from stars like Tony Jaa and directors like Panna Rittikrai and Prachya Pinkaew and it almost seems like this... More »
  

THE WOMEN IN CAGES COLLECTION Blu-ray Review
No one knew exploitation cinema like Jack Hill. His resume is like a tour through sleazy '70s film history, and his collaborators like a who's who of the toughest, meanest, and sexiest stars of the era.  Shout! Factory's Women in... More »
  

PIECES DVD Review
Pieces is completely insane in the best possible way.  This classic of the early 80's slasher boom is both incredibly gory and crazy funny without sacrificing it's edge.  Juan Piquer Simon created one of the first self-aware slasher spoofs entirely... More »
  

TORSO Blu-ray Review
Sergio Martino's Torso is a textbook example of the giallo genre film, the kind made famous by Dario Argento and Mario Bava.  While Torso may not be a Bird with Crystal Plumage or The Girl Who Knew Too Much, it... More »
  

FRANKENHOOKER Blu-ray Review
Have you ever been up late at night watching infomercials and stumble across something ridiculously simple on TV and wonder, "Why the fuck didn't I think of that?" Well, Frankenhooker is the Snuggie of horror films. Frank Henenlotter's 1990 assault... More »
  

Fantastic Fest 2011: KLOWN Review
The penis is nothing if not a vastly underutilized vessel for comedy. The makers of Klown: The Movie understand this, and have set about to rectify this problem.  The film jauntily breaks down the barriers of good taste and propriety... More »
  

CAMILLE 2000 EXTENDED VERSION Blu-ray Review

PERVERT! DVD Review
Arrow Video:Lust in the Dust! Pneumatic girls, crazed old men and a spate of bizarre murders are the order of the day in Pervert, a degenerate tale of sex, meat sculpture and chainsaw wielding good time girls that picks up... More »
  

THE LICKERISH QUARTET Blu-ray Review
Cult Epics have taken on the erotica of Radley Metzger in a very serious way.  In fact, very few labels can say they've taken 60's and 70's arthouse erotica as seriously as Cult Epics.  Between their collection of Radley Metzger... More »

Destroy All Monsters: I Think We've Been This Way Before, Mr. Spock

They can remember it for you wholesale, and they do. At some point, we licensed our pop cultural nostalgia to a handful of multinational conglomerates (well, to be fair, they always owned the licenses) and now they're selling them back to us - though, I guess, not at wholesale, but... More »

Interview: Twitch Talks to HANGOVER III's Ken Jeong

Ken Jeong may often play a lunatic on both big and small screen, but in person it's quite disarming to see just how calm and considerate he comes across. While he got his big screen start in Judd Apatow's Knocked Up, Jeong's real breakthrough was taking a small-on-paper role... More »

Hollywood Beat: Notes On Cutting The Cord And NBC's Genre Programs

I cut the cable cord last year, but I'm not always happy about it. I had to wait a year before seeing Season 2 of Game of Thrones, for example, and will have to wait to see Season 3 until next year. I only have to wait to see Mad... More »
