Long Weekend (1978)
Directed By: Colin Eggleston
Where to get it: Synapse
Reviewer: Chuck Conry

The Prologue
Up until I couple weeks ago I had never heard of this 1978 movie about animals that make up one deserted area of Australia. Not just any animals, but animals that decide they hate a couple camping out and want to kill them in this movie called, Long Weekend. But upon browsing a movie forum like I sometimes do, I ran across a member of the Synapse films family talking …

This was a looooong movie, and I’ve seen Titanic…
The Bloody Rage of Bigfoot (2010)
Directed By: James Baack
Reviewer: Chuck Conry
The Prologue
We all love a good indie film right? I mean there’s nothing like seeing someone actually get out and stop watching movies long enough to make their own. Today we have a indie film that you can tell is from someone who loves movies, they just don’t seem to like the edit button. That film comes to me today by way of Cheezy Flicks and it’s …

Psychomania  (1971)
Directed By:  Don Sharp
Reviewer: Chuck Conry

The Prologue
Well it’s time for some Psychomania!!! Also know to some of you as, The Death Wheelers. But with the title being changed to Psychomania is HAS to be good right? I think most things with “mania” in the title turn out to be pretty good. WrestleMania is really really good, so with that in mind I went into this with high hopes. I did learn after seeing this that it’s not always good to keep your hopes as high when …

Part man, part..um..swamp?!!!
Swamp Thing (1982)
Directed By: Wes Craven (The Hills Have Eyes)
Reviewer: Chuck Conry
The Prologue
The film Swamp Thing is of course based off the DC comic book of the same name. It also was a rather early film in the career of horror legend Wes Craven. Word is Wes just took the job to prove he could work on bigger pictures with more action and bigger stars and all things considered he did a alright job with the film. Wes even finds a way to …

 
 
 
WTF is this mess, Wes??!
Chiller (1985)
Directed By: Wes Craven (Deadly Blessing)
Reviewer: Chuck Conry
 
The Prologue
If there’s a black sheep in the list of movies directed by the horror directing legend Wes Craven it would be this made for TV movie from 1985 called Chiller. A film that just seems to be kinda “there” by all means from the opening to the closing. While I have no idea for sure I’d say Wes did this for the money, sadly however The Hills Have Eyes 2 would follow so maybe he was just …

Triangle (2009)
Directed By: Christopher Smith (Severance)
Reviewer: Chuck Conry
The Prologue
Have you ever got the feeling you’ve done what you are doing before? Déjà vu isn’t just the name of a cool video game from back in the day, it’s a creepy feeling to have. Triangle is a film that deals with that whole feeling to the total max. I had heard of this film long before I got the chance to watch it for myself and people seemed mixed on it. I guess just like everything …

Deadtime Stories Vol. 1 (2009)
Director: (Various)
Where to get it: Millennium Media
Reviewer: Chuck Conry
The first volume of this two volume set consists of an anthology of three short horror films: Valley of the Shadows, Wet, and House Call. Each of which are directed by three different directors. And since they are also billed as “George A. Romero Presents”, we have good ol’ George introducing each film, as well as greeting us and telling us so long at the end. And for what it’s worth, he does seem to be enjoying what …

Werewolf Woman (1976)
Director: Rino Di Silvestro
Reviewer: Chuck Conry
A woman has dreams that she is a werewolf so she goes out and finds men. She proceeds to have sex with them and then rip their throats out with her teeth. She eventually falls in love but then she is raped and her lover is murdered so she goes out for revenge. Yes, it’s a very sad story, even for 1976. But it just doesn’t find what it needs to come across as powerful as it might be sounding here.

So you …

The Mutilator (1985)
Doesn’t even have an official DVD in the USA!
The Mutilator (1985)
Directed By: Buddy Cooper
Reviewer: Chuck Conry
The Prologue
There is a long list of films that never got proper DVD releases that we all wish would get a release. There are some that got them and are simply out of print. The Mutilator is an odd situation. The film has a UK release on DVD. I’m not sure if it’s official or not, but it has one. Apparently it was never lucky enough to have a …

AWESOME! Even if some things are a little hard to follow.
The Beyond (1981)
Directed By: Lucio Fulci
Where to get it: Grindhouse Releasing
Reviewer: Chuck Conry

The Prologue
Lucio Fulci’s 1981 film, The Beyond, is a film I have a long history with. Having first ran across the movie when I was a small child and being totally freaked out, it was a film that stuck with me throughout the years. So naturally, it was one of the first horror films I would be sure to pickup when it hit DVD and I was starting …

I Spit On Your Grave (1978)

All men are evil bastards..if you didn’t already know.
I Spit On Your Grave (1978)
Directed By: Meir Zarchi (Don’t Mess With My Sister) f
Reviewer: Chuck Conry

The Prologue
When I first saw I Spit On Your Grave aka Day of the Woman, it was the winter of 2004 and I watched it on a very old and very crappy quality VHS. I was shocked my Uncle even had it and I had heard of it and wanted to see it but I had …

What a mess this is…
Zombie 4: After Death (1989)
Directed By: Claudio Fragasso (Troll 2)
Reviewer: Chuck Conry

The Prologue
In another case of, “Chuck tortures himself”, after I had the..um..honor, of watching Zombie 3, I decided to go ahead and check out the other notoriously bad, Zombie 4: After Death. Keep in mind here that I didn’t pay over $4 for this, so I don’t think I got ripped too much on it. And to be fair, perhaps we should mentioned that this was a sequel to the classic Zombie 2 (yeah, 3 …

Monster in the Closet (1986)
Director: Bob Dahlin
Where to get it: Troma
Reviewer: Chuck Conry
 
Monster in the Closet is a spoof of horror/monster films. After several people and a dog are found dead in their closets a “mild-mannered” reporter, a college professor, her son and a befuddled professor band together to uncover the mystery but not without involving the U.S. Army and mass panic. The movie then goes into wink wink territory when we soon learn that our monster gets it’s power from the closet. And soon it finds our male lead …

There is a whole lot of sex going on here!

Monamour
Directed By: Tinto Brass
Where to get it: Cult Epics
Reviewer: Chuck Conry
The Prologue
I hope you like some sex and naked women! Because that is a great portion of what you get in the 2006 film, Monamour by director, Tinto Brass. Coming to us from the country of Italy, and being presented to us Americans on DVD and Blu-ray from our friends over at Cult Epics. It’s another film that really does take a walk on the erotic side of things, but also …

Bare with me here on this one…
Night of Bloody Horror (1969)
Directed By: Joy N. Houck Jr. (The Night of the Strangler )
Reviewer: Chuck Conry
The Prologue
Today we keep diving into the catalog of Cheezy Flicks. One thing I like about the DVDs they have for sale is the fact you almost feel as if you are in some old drive-in or grindhouse type theater with the sticky floors while watching their stuff. Of course while they have some awesome films for sale, you then run across something like …

Step Sisters that look just a like??!! Come on people!!!??
Nightmare Castle (1965)
Directed By: Mario Caiano (Vampire in Venice)
Reviewer: Chuck Conry

The Prologue
Looks like we are dealing with some more Italian oldies this time around friends. We are also dealing with another one of those old black and white films you can find in the public domain..Which isn’t a knock at all on those types of films, I mean after all “Night of the Living Dead” is in that same group.
Turns out with this movie we are also dealing with …

Pandorum (2009)
Well, it was a bit odd..
Pandorum (2009)
Directed By: Christian Alvart
Reviewer: Chuck Conry

The Prologue
So apparently space is the place! Or so it would seem, seeing as how this is the second day in a row we’ve had a space film here. Pandorum, came out in 2009 and while I recall the adds and trailers and all that stuff for it, I never got around to seeing it until now. It does however have Dennis Quaid in it. And I think we all like Dennis Quaid don’t we? Regardless what we …
