We’ll start on the street and work our way up the ranks of society… Street Trash, Directed by J. Michael Muro (credited as Jim Muro) made a movie about homeless people, better than a movie of this sort has any right to be. I’m just kidding. That’s totally classist of me. But the freaks from […]
A sun belt buckle is pulled off. Menacing astrology. “My name is Buck. And I’m here to Fuck!” Robert Englund’s menacing opening line in Tobe Hooper’s other great authentically nightmarish film, Eaten Alive, from his The Texas Chain Saw Massacre days.

Admittedly they were mostly medieval serial killers. Mostly. Other European legends of werewolves resided in Germany with tales of warrior clans dressed in wolf’s skin and […]
I don’t usually review big new movies. I mean so many other websites do that, so I’d rather concentrate on the underground and such, but with Evil Dead Rise, I’m a fan of the original, the series, and the ‘reimagining’ so with this I straight away noticed that it was going a different direction and […]
