Movie Review: Disco Italiana Box Set – Severin Blu-ray

Italian filmmakers well and truly got balls deep into any and all American genre cinema trends in the ‘70s and ‘80s in order to make some dough. That eloquent statement brings us to the subject of Discoploitation… yup, that’s right, or pals in Italy saw Saturday Night Fever and said “Fuck yeah, we can do that!” And they did… in a way… and now I’m going to take a gander at the results courtesy of Severin’s new Blu-ray boxset; Disco Italiana!

Horror and Thrillers Hitting Streaming Services this August

As summer wanes, August serves as a calm entry point before Halloween season kicks off in earnest next month. While it may be a relatively light period for major horror drops, major streaming platforms are quietly packing their libraries with a mix of original premieres, cult favorites, and franchise marathons. Netflix is handing us a double order of psychological damage this August with two brand-new originals, The Last House and The Whisper Man. Prefer your terror stuffed with polyester and sheer spite? They’re also unloading virtually the entire Chucky collection—ideal for anyone nostalgic for a simpler era of micro-budget plastic slayings.
