Crash of Moons is one of those films from the 50’s that is so cheesy that the only way it manages to really stand the test of time is by support from real nostalgia buffs and self-hating mongrels like myself. Set in the “not so distant future” the film follows the exploits of Rocky Jones,…
Alien Contamination (1980)
So, in 1979 this guy named Ridley Scott came out with this movie called Alien. A claustrophobic, frightening and surreal tour-de-force, Alien was a one of a kind film that redefined the scifi/monster movie genre. Spawning numerous sequels, spin-offs, literature, and even video games, the Alien franchise is still very much alive and well. However,…

Tales of Terror from Tokyo: Volume One (2003)
Japanese horror is significantly different from American horror in many ways. Typical American horror makes use of quick cuts and snappy editing to create frantic moments of tension or sudden and horrifying occurrences. There is usually a reason for an American haunting that goes beyond the indiscriminate and radioactive anger of a vengeful spirit in…
War of the Worlds (1988)
Picking up after the events of the 1950’s film, the War of the Worlds television series found a small research team battling the dark agenda of the Martians that survived the first war. Now, anyone who has seen the original film will undoubtedly have some questions. For starters, all the Martians were wiped out by…
An Untitled Story (2007)
There really isn’t anything like the sense of accomplishment one feels when playing an action/exploration game. Games like Metroid put you in bizarre world with bizarre alien life forms and no real direction to go in. With every new hostile alien encounter came a new victory that was yours solely. No one explained to you…
Inseminoid (1981)
If you told me that the first thing I was going to see, after countless millennia of slumber, was a “Z-grade” film about an alien that impregnates women, I would have stayed buried. Imagine my chagrin when I was unearthed for the sole purpose of reviewing this film and others like it. Inseminoid‘s story isn’t…
Zombie Zinger (2009)
Preface by Dann: I’ve been asked to provide some commentary on the symbolic nature of these films. While looking like a generic mini-DV production from feeble minds, it was however finely crafted, to tackle some of the tough issues of our day. Much like Aesop’s Fables, the need to replace prominent figures with animal counterparts…
Zombi Fourest (2004)
If you ask anyone about the DCJ Zombie Chronicles, you’ll probably only hear about Zombie Jamboree and the more recent Zombie Zinger. So what happened to the second film Zombi Fourest? The story of this forgotten classic is both long and tragic, but in a nutshell, Zombi Fourest was the unwitting victim of fallout from…
The Trap Door (1984)
I love Claymation films. There’s something supernatural about the way things move in these programs, and each character is usually rendered with a soft and organic feel endearing them to us. I discovered The Trap Door completely by accident one day when I was searching for Danger Mouse. When I was growing up, Nickelodeon was…
