Burnt Offerings 1976 Review
In my quest to re-discover all things from my childhood that have been almost forgotten to the vault of time, I managed to uncover yet another rare gem in the horror Burnt Offerings (1976). While I knew this movie was old, I had a near impossible time tracking it down because of once again very…

Stone Pillow Review
In yet another movie I had seeking out for sometime, I believe I may have re-discovered another old made-for-TV movie that I only had seen once in Stone Pillow. Stone Pillow stars Lucille Ball in a role that I’m guessing a lot of people wouldn’t recognize her for but might be one of her last…

Manos: The Hands of Fate Review
Recently, I discovered over on Twitch TV that Elvira has a channel with various re-runs of her old Macabre shows. As it runs 24/7 (not sure how long), I decided to click over to see what was playing and learned that it was none other than the cult-not-exactly-but-a-classic-in-itself Manos: The Hands of Fate. I honestly…

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Review
In doing my old school, bad movie night time of deal, I found Attack of the Killer Tomatoes over on Amazon Prime for free at the moment. Admittedly, I had only seen this movie perhaps once and I can’t recall if I saw it in full. I do remember certain parts possibly due to it…

Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype Review
In my quest to rediscover various key moments from my youth, I had been searching for a particularly old horror movie shown on one of Elvira’s late night shows that would pop up on channel 9 (or maybe it was 5). I had only a very vague recollection of the movie in that it involved…

Silent Night, Bloody Night Review
I’ve been trying to find an ancient movie from the old Elvira series that I had viewed at least once or twice in my youth. In trying to sort through foggy, vague memories and poor descriptions, I stumbled across one movie that potentially resembled a few notions that might’ve matched in Silent Night, Bloody Night.…

Alien: The Relevance of Time
Time is one aspect in the Alien series that has been inconsistent especially when it relates to the xenomorph’s biology. While perusing a few articles on the subject of the xenomorph’s biology, one thing stands out is that the incubation process has been listed as anywhere between a few minutes to hours. Probably, the worst…

Shaw Brothers The Rebel Intruders Movie Review
Yet another Shaw Brothers / Chang Cheh / Venoms mob movie is up for review here. This was one of the last Venoms mob movies with the classical line up (minus Snake / Wai Pak) as more Venoms style movies would focus on Philip Kwok, Chiang Sheng and Lu Feng as the core group. Also,…

Shaw Brothers Martial Club Movie Review
This is another Gordon Liu/Lau Kar-Leung classic where Gordon Liu reprises his role as Wong Fei Hung in a story about a conflict between three schools. This movie is a little less focused at times compared to other Lau Kar-Leung movies but the final fight scene is where I think this movie shines the most.

The Secret of the Shaolin Poles Movie Review
I debated whether or not to write up a review for this movie as (to put it in spoilers) I found it to be a really bad movie. This wasn’t a Godfrey Ho it’s so ridiculously nonsensical that it’s a bad movie that becomes great because of the nonsense. It’s more just a boring, poorly…
