Merry Christmas! James and I review a movie that had it come out on time might have really had an influence on the Christmas Horror genre…..it is a genre right? sub genre? Well either way with a pretty decent cast and a couple of neat ideas this movie is perfect for Christmas with the family! […]

Hot off the heels of the success of Star Wars, Caroline Munro takes the role of the sexy and fearless Stella Star and leads Akton, Elle and eventually Prince Simon (Played by the Hoff!) against the evil Emperor (Christopher Plummer). Did I […]
This week James and I discuss and breakdown the classic 1980 slasher film Maniac, an underrated gem if there ever was one. Starring Joe Spinell and Starcrash co-star and B- Movie queen Caroline Munro. It’s a twisted tail of scalps, dead moms and mannequins! Enjoy and thanks for listening!
I mentioned in the description of the Event Horizon, I mentioned that there are two locales that i still get chills from, Event Horizon showed us the space version, Levithan explores the other. Starring an all star cast led by Peter Weller it shows us that some secrets should remain at the sea floor. It […]

Perhaps the greatest remake of all time, John Carpenter took the 1951 classic The Thing From Another World and upped the ante big time.

I usually post stuff on a schedule, such as Battletruck on Monday, but with St Patricks Day fast approaching how could I not go over Leprechaun with you guys? Oh did I mention the famous Warwick Davis it the Leprechaun and Jennifer Aniston is also in this one? Enjoy!
I’ve watched a lot of horror movies in my lifetime, but there are two locales for horror that actually give me the chills. Movies about the oceans depths and movies that are set in space. Being a Sci-Fi and horror fan Event Horizon was a no brainer for me to see. While not quite a […]
In the early 1980’s everyone was trying to rip off Mad Max, these guys were on the right track with their post apocalyptic movie Battletruck, plus it was filmed in New Zealand, one of my favorite places on Earth! Oh did I mention John Ratzenberger is in it?
What do you get when you make a movie that stars Mark Hamill, Bill Paxton, Kitty Aldridge, Bob Peck, Robbie Coltrane, Ben Kingsley and F Murray Abraham directed by Steven Lisberger (Tron) and produced by Gary Kurtz (Star Wars Episode 4, The Dark Crystal)? Sadly a post apocalyptic incoherent mess, even by my standards. Come […]

Take a solid plot, a great director and a wrestler that came to chew gum and kick butt and is all out of gum and you get a fantastic B-Movie about an alien invasion and how the world might not always be what we see. While it’s one of John Carpenters best, Roddy Piper and […]
Of all the movie remakes throughout the last, oh I don’t know, 80 years? Some stand out as better than the original. The 1986 David Cronenberg classic The Fly is one of them. Plus come on, Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis were fantastic in this one as well. So take a listen and enjoy!
What happens when you mix Adam West, Tia Carrere, the music of Motorhead and a touch of voodoo? You get 1987’s Zombie Nightmare, a movie that isn’t West’s best work and could really have used more Tia. Enjoy!

Oh and going on a bloody rampage with his identical robot friends killing “teens” who decided to party at the stores […]
