And Soon the Darkness (1970)

astd_1

Few reviews feel as painful of a process as this one. I’ve had the title screen capped for months now, and if it weren’t for today’s original movie missing the final scene, I wouldn’t be scraping up movies I sort of watched just for an excuse to not re-watch a new one. Truth is, it…


Rejuvenatrix (1988)

rejuvenator_1

Much like the Re-Animator (who’s popularity I imagine this film tried to play off of), Rejuvenatrix covers the issue of messing with a part of life that should not be meddled with. In the Re-Animator, it was death, but in this movie the concept of eternal youth and beauty is the main focus. The fountain…


Rayman 2: The Great Escape (1999)

rayman2_01

In 1995, the world was introduced to “Rayman.” This charming, happy-go-lucky creature was better known for his lack of limbs which allowed him to traverse stages and dispatch foes in witty and unconventional ways. My earliest recollection of this character occurred when I [break]was 10 years old. I was walking past an “Electronics Boutique” (back…


Little King: Christmas Night (1933)

lkcn_1

I love vintage cartoons or really any film from the depression era. They capture that time when people were at their poorest but still in good spirits, trying to build up the infrastructure that we all enjoy now. Of course there were a fair amount of rag-tag traveling hobos who couldn’t find work, but didn’t…


Deadly Little Christmas (2009)

dlc_1

Sourcing Christmas movies that match this site’s focus proves to be slightly more difficult than finding Halloween movies. I suppose dealing with the actual holiday, there may be more, but for October all you need is a few rustling leaves and it works. I’m sure one of these days, I will grab Silent Night, Deadly…


Death Bed: The Bed that Eats (1977)

dbtbte_1

Death Bed is a mess of a movie. The concept is certainly bizarre, but that’s far from the oddest thing about this movie. Granted a foaming, chicken loving bed that gets indigestion is hard to top, but the presentation is so haphazardly thrown together, it’s hard to make sense even of the senseless. The main…


Crash of Moons (1954)

crashmoon_01

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,…


The Granny (1995)

granny_1

The Granny is a fun film. It’s completely absurd and over the top while adding in some irreverent humor and ridiculous characters. It’s a traditional story of revenge mixed with demon possession. I first found this at a video store that was still predominantly VHS driven, while the rest of the world was moving to…


Alien Contamination (1980)

aliencont_01

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,…


Wilderness Survival for Girls (2004)

wsfg_1

This is one of those movies where you figure it’s purely exploitative. Not I’m not saying it isn’t at all, but it’s hardly the point of the film. I’m sure a certain amount of false pretense was used to lure in viewers, so they would sit long enough for the plot to unravel, and that’s…
