Movie Review: Cuadecuc Vampir (1971)/Umbracle (1972) - Severin Blu-ray

Movie Review: Cuadecuc Vampir (1971)/Umbracle (1972) – Severin Blu-ray

Jess Franco made himself an adaption of Bram Stoker’s classic fang bang terror tome Dracula back in 1970 (refresh your memory on that release, the Christopher Lee starring Count Dracula, right here) and hired Spanish filmmaker Pere Portabella to film a lil’ behind-the-scenes action for what was supposed to be turned into a documentary concerning the film’s creation… but it wasn’t and here we are… Instead, Portabella conjured forth 1971’s Cuadecuc, Vampir; a black and white, hour-and-change, nearly silent (there is ambient (frequently not very) musical accompaniment, and closing remarks from Lee however) experimental film that certainly does present a fly-on-the-wall glimpse (no matter how impressionistic) into the film’s production along with it’s own loosey-goosey narrative. To that end we get a visual tone-poem showcasing cast and crew toiling away… and it is a fascinating, if unconventional viewing experience. Additionally, viewing Franco’s footage in stark, crisp (sometimes purposefully over-exposed) chiaroscuro gives it that classic Universal monster movie vibe! But wait,

Hit Horror Film 'Immaculate' Comes Home Today

New Red Band Trailer Teases a Terrifying Religious Horror: ‘Immaculate’

The upcoming, unnerving religious horror film Immaculate has released its chilling new red-band trailer. And it looks fantastic and eerie as hell. In the film, Sydney Sweeney stars as a staunchly religious woman named Cecilia. She is welcomed into a convent in Italy. But things are not quite as they seem within those walls, and Cecilia soon finds herself with child, and possibly without a clear answer for who the father is, thus the film’s title. But if you thought that a bunch of nuns would be the perfect group to welcome a new child into, you would be very wrong. Dark secrets are being hidden, with Cecilia and her hopefully not already doomed child needing to escape before falling victim to one or more of those evil-looking crones. The trailer opens with Cecilia arriving at the convent. The seemingly warm and welcoming nuns greet her. However, the atmosphere quickly shifts as Cecilia begins to experience strange occurrences and unsettling

The Asylem's PLANET QUAKE Trailer!

The Asylem’s PLANET QUAKE Trailer!

The Earth Will Never Be the Same… The planet has had enough of us. That’s the basic premise behind The Asylum’s PLANET QUAKE, a natural disaster thriller written and directed by Monroe Robertson (S.W.A.T. The TV series 2017, Magnum P.I. The TV series 2018). It’s set to hit select theatres and VOD on January 26th, and if you like disaster movies, you might want to put this one on your radar! It certainly looks intense, with a more serious tone than I expected! The film stars genre stalwart Michael Paré (Eddie and the Cruisers, Streets of Fire), Erica Duke (Bikini Spring Break, Aquarium of the Dead), and Anthony Jensen (Alien Conquest, Doomsday Meteor). Centering around, you guessed it, a bunch of devastating, giant earthquakes plaguing the planet – it looks like it will be up to science (and Michael Paré) to save the day! With 65 hours until total destruction, things are bound to get hectic! You can check out
