Blu-ray Review: Shock (1977)

Dora Baldini (Daria Nicolodi), her kiddo Marco (Beyond the Door‘s David Colin Jr.), and her new husband Bruno (we don’t talk about Bruno no no… okay, we do, and he’s played by Yor: the Hunter From the Future‘s Overlord himself, John Steiner) make the dumbass decision to move into the old house where Dora lived with her first husband Carlo, a Joe Dirt lookin’ heroin addicted son of a bitch who supposedly died at sea (the dead part is true, the sea is hazy… ). Minus the obvious psychological damage moving back into that space would cause anyone, ol’ Marco (who I’m kinda surprised they didn’t go with a Peter Bark style of situation with… if ya know, then ya know… but if not, watch Andrea Bianchi’s 1981 zombie sleaze-fest Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror… you’ll thank me for it later) seems to getting rather horny for Mommy Dearest… and as the days pass, Dora seems to be coming

Blu-ray Review: Franco Noir (1962 – 1964)

Prolific cinematic maverick Jess Franco directed roughly 7,865 movies in his career, so it seems inevitable he would ply his trade with a lil’ film noir… and he sure as shit did! To that end we turn our putrid peepers towards Severin’s release of Franco Noir, a collection of two noir film’s Franco created between 1962 and 1963. Kicking things off we have 1962’s (or 1964’s… the box says ’62 IMDb says ’64… feel free to let me know) Death Whistles the Blues: Trafficking sumbitch Vogel (Georges Rollin) sells out his accomplices Castro and Smith (Manuel Alexandre) which results in Castro being ventilated by the boys in blue, and Smith coolin’ his joltin’ jets in prison. Well all things come to pass, and our man Smith finally sees the light of day again… and he is hellbent on settlin’ the score against Vogel, with only a blues tune to herald his coming to lay down an ultimate ass-whippin’! All manner

Blu-ray Review: Don’t Go in the House (1979)

After a work place accident in which he just stood idly by as a man went up in flames, delusional psycho/flame enthusiast Donny Kohler (The Soprano‘s Dan Grimaldi) returns home to find his beloved (not to mention horribly abusive) mother dead. It’s at this point the voices in his head take over and tell him he can both enjoy loud disco music (hey, I said he was a psycho) and should really consider making a flame proof room where he can burn women alive… as one does. Donny takes to that advice like a mother fucker, and begins piling up the BBQ… which he dresses and arranges in a room… but hey, he kept his Mom’s corpse too, so it’s kinda his thing… Speaking of dear ol’ mama, her voice soon begins a competition with the other voices in Donny’s deranged dome, and it isn’t long before our “hero” begins seeing visions of the walking dead! While definitely knowing which

Brutal New Clip Arrives Ahead Of The Premiere Of ‘The Last Thing Mary Saw’ On Shudder

Ahead of its release this week, Shudder unveiled a new clip, titled Knees And Prayers” from their dark original film The Last Thing Mary Saw. In it, we see the brutal religious punishment of the two stars as they are forced to pray on their knees as rice is ground between the flesh of their knee caps and the hard floor, which is excruciatingly painful. This period horror-thriller stars Stefanie Scott (Insidious: Chapter 3), Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan), and Rory Culkin (Waco, Halston). The Last Thing Mary Saw was written and directed by Edoardo Vitaletti, who is making his feature debut. Set in Southold, New York, in 1843: Young Mary (Scott), who has blood trickling from behind the blindfold tied around her eyes, is interrogated about the events surrounding her grandmother’s death. As the story jumps back in time, we witness Mary, raised in a repressively religious household, finding fleeting happiness in the arms of Eleanor (Fuhrman), the home’s maid. Her

Vertical’s Home Invasion Thriller ‘The Surprise Visit’ Is Out Today

Starring Academy Award Nominee Eric Roberts, Dopestick’s Tricia Hawn, Rob Riordan, Jacqi Vene, and Serah Henesey, director Nick Lyon’s intense, gritty and suspenseful thriller The Surprise Visit is out today from Vertical Entertainment. “When a young couple makes a surprise visit to Mom, they get an even bigger surprise themselves from an old family friend who plans to steal Mom’s valuable jewelry while she is out of town. But when the “easy peasy” robbery goes wrong, resulting in the accidental death of the daughter’s husband, it forces the two young drug addicts to make a difficult decision; to abandon ship, or do the unthinkable.” I love that THE SURPRISE VISIT is based on a true story that explores the themes of class difference and how desperation can make people do things that they might not otherwise do. The film is an American tragedy. I chose to tell THE SURPRISE VISIT in a gritty and realistic style that was complemented by

Blu-ray Review: Beyond Darkness (1990)

After a doozy of an opening sequence where a priest, Father George (David Brandon) hears a death row confession from a child murdering, bald headed follower of an evil deity known as Ameth as she’s led away to the electric chair followed by the ghosts of her victims, we get into the monstrous meat and putrid potatoes of Beyond Darkness. A priest, Peter (Gene LeBrock… the community theater Christopher Reeve with just a dash of Tom Cruise for funsies), and his family; wife Annie (Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan‘s Barbara Bingham), son Martin (that hospitality pissing mother fucker from Troll 2 himself, Michael Paul Stephenson), and their daughter Carole (Theresa Walker), a fart lovin’ girl that has a desire to dry her hair, but can’t remember the name of a hair dryer… you know what, Carole may have some sort of juvenile Alzheimer’s as she also can’t find her mouth in the dark… move into a house
