   Released in 1979, “Faces of Death” was banned in over 46 countries until a video boxset containing all six volumes was released on VHS. Only parts 1 and 2 (and a “greatest moments” version containing clips from parts 1 and 2) have been released on DVD.       Dr. Frances B. Gross (great…

    This is a great stereotypical 50’s cult flick. The Blob also takes the credit for having introduced Steve McQueen to the world as an actor and Burt Bacharach to the world as a composer, and even though the movie is 98% crap, we have at least those two things to be thankful for.   …

   This is a big one so hold onto your computer! There are so many facets to this story, it’s ridiculous.       Since this is a website about films, let’s start with the 1979 movie starring Margot Kidder and James Brolin. George and Kathy Lutz think they have found the perfect home for their…

   Even though I knew this movie was gonna be crap, the title was very catchy since I love both alien and zombie movies, and I decided that it was definitely worth a try. I was wrong.      The story begins with an alligator poacher whose wife is killed by what he claims to…

   Fire Walk With Me is a prequel film to the hit TV series Twin Peaks from the early ’90s. Since Twin Peaks was mostly the story of who killed Laura Palmer, the prequel is naturally about the last week of Laura Palmer’s life. We didn’t see much of Laura in the series obviously because…

 When Twin Peaks debuted on television in the early 90s, it was one of the quirkiest shows ever to hit the airways and definitely one of the most intriguing, cleverly written, and thought-provoking TV shows to come out in a REALLY long time. The pilot alone earned director/producer David Lynch a Peabody Award. Up until…

   This is a great monster movie from the early ’80s, my favorite kind! Two campers see a meteorite fall to the earth, when they go inspect it, they encounter a giant eating machine of an alien with multiple heads and literally thousands of teeth.        The creature moves into town and hides…

    This is a hilarious new movie by Troma that had me in stitches throughout the entire film. Most movies from Troma are either really bad or disgusting and offensive.  Or all of it rolled into one.  But this one was all of that but was actually funny.      A military-themed chicken fast food…

 This is a creepy-ass story that exists in three forms. Short story, an original Twilight Zone episode, and finally a remake of the episode included in a four-part Twilight Zone movie that recreates four of its more popular episodes.  It was originally written by Richard Matheson ( I am Legend, What Dreams May Come, The…

    A SWAT team of four and a chief in charge enters the building to assess what has happened. They know there was a contagion that is not spread through the air but through the blood and saliva. They search for survivors but only come across the infected. Part one lets us know that…
