The first installment of the Evil Dead trilogy is easily the most gruesome and serious of the three. Some college students head to a remote cabin and unwittingly release demons into the woods by playing a tape. Ash’s sister Cheryl is the first to notice that something isn’t quite right, and of course this is [...]

Henry is a guy with big hair that lives in a sort of industrial wasteland. His girlfriend Mary has a baby, which looks sort of like a penis with an E.T. head. Mrs. Roundcheeks lives in his radiator, and is best described in a quote by Lynch himself: “One day I was sitting in the [...]

I saw the advertisements and read the summary of this, and I was pretty apprehensive about watching it. I’ve seen about ten too many killer doll movies, and that’s what this one looked like at first glance.
But it’s not a killer doll movie, it’s a back from the dead killer ventriloquist movie, and that makes [...]

Chesty Morgan was an otherwise normal-sized woman with a 73 inch bust, and in this film she plays Crystal, a woman hell bent on tracking down the men who killed her lover. She seduces and drugs them, then disrobes to smother them with her breasts (the titular “deadly weapons”). Chesty herself is dubbed and not [...]

David Cronenberg’s interpretation of the novel of the same name by J.G. Ballard, this movie focuses on the lives and loves of a groupd of auto-crash victims. James Ballard gets into a head-on collision with a man and his wife, and the other man dies. Mr. Ballard ends up in the hospital with all sorts [...]

Running less than ten minutes, The Contraption begins like a commercial for a hardware store or a home improvement show, with the seemingly unlikely choice of Richard O’brien as the only actor on screen.
He uses saws and sandpaper and welding equipment to build a large something, then puts his glasses in his pocket and [...]

While this movie stays fairly faithful to Stephen King’s novel, it does leave out some of the interaction between Carrie and her mother (e.g., there’s no discussion of “dirtypillows.”). It’s one of the better King adaptations, but not quite as good as The Shining or Pet Sematary.
DePalma’s directing was certainly effective though. The opening scene [...]

Though the rest of world probably has forgotten by now, those who have followed Silent Hill long enough know that there were rumors going around for years about a remake of the original. I scoffed at the idea. You shouldn’t fix what’s not broken.

I bought Creature Comforts, an Aardman Animations clay animation collection, and “Not Without my Handbag” was definitely the high point of the video. You just don’t see many good animated zombie films.

This is a unique old movie that proves that with a decent story and acting, you don’t need a huge budget. It makes good use of foreshadowing, and the movie had some very intriguing moments. Mary seems to be the only survivor from a car wreck, and she soon moves out of town after finding [...]
