4k UHD Review: Dune (1984)

Holy hell, how in the shit am I going to condense down David Lynch’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1965 epic sci-fi novel; Dune for the sinister synopsis portion of this revoltin’ review?!! Umm, so the Emperor of the Universe (José Ferrer) decides that the two most powerful houses in the galaxy; the noble House Atreides and the vile House Harkonnen… the latter of which is about to be relieved of their duty running the day to day of the harvesting and processing of the most precious item in all of space; the Spice Melange (which can be used to “fold” space making travel times nearly non-existent) on the dessert world of Arrakis by the Atreides (who have been developing a fighting system based on sound) by command of the Emperor… which will not only put the House Atreides so far away that they can’t possibly cause him static… and just to make sure they won’t, he has plans of returning

Blu-ray Review: Weird Wisconsin: The Bill Rebane Collection (1965 – 1988)

Bill Rebane; that Wisconsin bred mother fucker of a regional schlock-meister… I love him, and I wager after you park your ass in front of this rich motherload of drive-in awesome-fuckery flyin’ your way from Arrow Video (along with MVD Entertainment) you will too! Kicking off the collection is 1965’s cobbled together mess-terpiece, Monster a Go-Go: A space capsule (pronounced here as cap-soool, which was too much for me) tumbles back to Earth and the astronaut inside goes missing. Coincidentally, a ten foot tall, radiation scarred mutant begins wandering about, just waiting to put the gruesome murder biz upon anyone that stands in his way of… well, wandering around killing people mostly… In a flash of cinematic Frankenstein frenzy, the Godfather of Gore himself; Herschell Gordon Lewis acquired the footage to an unfinished Rebane picture from 1961, added some new footage and narration (provided by H.G. Lewis himself), and released the jarring results to horror hounds everywhere back in ’65!

Fans Are Not Happy With ‘Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City’

Johannes Roberts promised fans of the popular survival horror game series “Resident Evil” that the upcoming film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City would be closer to the source material than Paul W.S. Anderson’s film series that pretty much had nothing to do with the games (a trend with his works based on video games). Fans were excited to learn that the film will combine the first two Resident Evil games and were pretty much on board with the film…till yesterday (August 30, 2021) when the first three production stills were released showing the cast and instantly divided fans. The one picture that really irked fans were the image of Resident Evil 2’s main heroes, Leon and Clair and fans were quick to show disappointment in the casting of Avan Jogia as Leon with many saying his appearance made him look more like Carlos (Resident Evil 3) than Leon. Some fans were also quick to criticize the appearance of the

Blu-ray Review: Night (2006 – 2021)

Detective Mike Jericho (John Hardy) is in a bit of a pickle; you see he’s become a blood lappin’ fang banger after inadvertently turning a comely lass into so much Swiss cheese with his pistol (as one does). How did that happen you may ask? Well, even if ya didn’t ask I’ll tell you! The woman was a vampire, so dying by bullet wound wasn’t really her “thing”, and she turns Mike into one as well. So with Mike’s nocturnal pursuits keeping him from his day job, his co-worker Jimi Cannon (Shawn LeTang) begins searching for his chum, which of course puts him in direct opposition of the creatures of the night who have no intention of giving Mike back to the land of the living! Shot on a shoestring by multi-talented filmmaker/musician Byron C. Miller (who wrote the fright flick as well), Night represents an impressive, if low-tech debut from someone that continues to work in the horror biz

Small Town Monsters Is Back With The New Documentary ‘Skinwalker: The Howl of the Rougarou’

Small Town Monsters are back with the documentary Skinwalker: The Howl of the Rougarou that delves into the legends that surround the blood-thirsty creature. For centuries, stories have persisted throughout the southern swamps of something truly otherworldly: a terrifying, hirsute creature known by locals as the Rougarou. These legends predate the first immigrant settlers who made their way into the murky waters and dark forests of the south, yet the Rougarou has only recently made its way into pop culture via appearances in horror films, a regional festival, and even a roller coaster ride. Small Town Monsters and director Seth Breedlove peel back the curtain on this unheralded beast in their latest documentary Skinwalker: The Howl of the Rougarou. Breedlove interviewed witnesses and local experts who help to unveil the creature who will be featured in this first-ever look at what is often referred to as the Cajun Werewolf. The Rougarou has been long thought to simply be a folktale
