Blu-ray Review: Carnival Magic (1983)

Roll up! Roll up! Ye olde flea-pit dirt carnival has rolled into town and is sure to delight only the most desperate of audiences! Attendance notwithstanding this shitty show is kinda doomed anyway as the two “main attractions”, animal battering hot-head tiger trainer Kirk Wylder (Joe Cirillo) and sullen magician Markov (Don Stewart) are butting heads like some mountain goat mother fuckers. While Kirk’s primary talent is being a world-class drunken ass, Markov the Magnificent on the other hand has the ability to mentally communicate with animals, including his hyper-intelligent, super-horny, car driving talking chimp sidekick (and ass grabbing personal trainer) Alexander the Great… for fuck’s sake… oh, and he gives some expert relationship advice on the side… naturally. Anyway, Markov’s act is soon the total shit yo, and is attracting throngs of local-yokels who have doubtless had only such riveting entertainment as “wart counting” and “hog-tickling” as their primary sources of diversion judging by how crazy they go for

This May, An Imaginary Friend Becomes A Supernatural Nightmare In Shudder’s ‘Z’

Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, has announced that it has acquired all rights in its territories to Z, the latest horror film from Still/Born director Brandon Christensen.

Z centers on Elizabeth, a young mother who begins to fear her introverted son’s imaginary friend, Z, may be terrifyingly real. Brandon’s Still/Born was a tense, frightening film grounded in a tragic story that Shudder members quickly embraced and turned into a hit. We jumped at the chance to work with him again on Z, which were excited to debut next month,” said Craig Engler, Shudder’s General Manager. When Still/Born premiered on Shudder on Mother’s Day in 2018, it was clear that they understood what the film was going for and allowed it to shine,” said Christensen. “With Z, we once

Blu-ray Review: When the Wind Blows (1986)

Although When the Wind Blows opens with a rousing ditty by none other than David Bowie himself, you can forget any tight-trouser magic dancin’ from this lil’ nuclear number… Geezers James (John Mills) and Hilda spend their old days doin’ old people shit in their cozy abode in the British countryside. What kind of old people shit you may ask? Why reading the newspaper, listening to the radio… hey, speaking of this mass media, James decides he should pick up some pamphlets regarding how to save one’s ass when the nukes come raining down as the international outlook is looking rather cloudy… mushroom cloudy, as that aforementioned media let’s us know! After reading those loony leaflets, James goes about following all of the patently ridiculous plans detailed within and ends up fuckin’ up their house but good. Long story short, the bombs fall, the advice was right shit, and our heroes realize surviving may have been quite the elephant sized

Kafkaesque Game ‘Metamorphosis’ Coming This Summer

All In! Games announced that this summer, players will get to see the world from a different perspective with their upcoming first-person game Metamorphosis, a game inspired by the short story of the same name by Franz Kafka. The short story is about a young man named Gregor who woke up one morning finding himself transformed into a large insect affecting how his once close nit family slowly turns on him due to his transformation. In the game, players take on the role of Gregor, and much like in Kafka’s story he was a man that turned into a bug but this time instead of following the original story’s narrative, Gregor goes out to find out what happened to him. Gregor must use parkour skills to move around his environment as he gets used to his new abilities as an insect. Gregor also will be solving puzzles and finding clues about the mystery surrounding his transformation as he meets interesting

Product Review: HorrorPack’s April Subscription Box

Let’s be honest, thanks to the pandemic, we’ve all burned through most of the good things to watch on Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and Tubi, so I was thrilled Tuesday to find April’s HorrorPack subscription box sitting on my doorstep. The monthly subscription box contained four Blu-rays, each entertaining in its own way. The 2017 sci-fi horror Life, starring Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Rebecca Ferguson. The film follows a team of scientists aboard the International Space Station who have discovered a new life form, one which caused the mass extinction on Mars. Now, the crew faces an extinction of its own. A Double Feature: 2-Headed Shark Attack and Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus. Both films are cheesy sci-fi action horror flicks. The HorrorPack Limited Edition Blu-ray Nefarious from director Richard Roundtree, a 2019 film about two groups of people brought together after a botched robbery. The group of criminals get more than they bargained for and must find a way to
