Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Whether you’re aware of it or not, this legendary figure has arguably had a larger influence on all things horror than anyone. Ever. I “discovered” Lovecraft, personally, after seeing a number of the films I’m about to jaw on about, which led to a lot of “so …

With a penchant for putting out all inclusive releases of truly subversive cinema, Unearthed Films’ new release of Alex Chandon’s (Inbred) violent love letter to the “anthology” horror of the 70’s, Cradle of Fear, is a two disc smorgasbord of blood-soaked madness! Synopsis A gruesome homage to the cult Amicus …

Wildeye Releasing’s Visual Vengeance series is really breathing new life into late 90s/early 00s shot-on-video stuff by doing deluxe collector’s edition type releases that are normally reserved for the more familiar genre films. Being from Northern Ohio, I’m pretty surprised I hadn’t heard of Cleveland based writer/director Les Sekely (Night …

New from the deranged folks at SRS Cinema, is a snazzy Blu ray release from The Sleaze Box: writer/director Chris Woods’ (Death-Scort Service 1-3) 2016 splatter/exploitation flick Chaos AD (no relation to Brazilian metal icons Sepultura). Naturally, being a fan of grimy indie sleaze, I dove right in! Synopsis On …

If you’re not familiar with the work of UK filmmaker Darren Ward, fret not, neither was I. However, with a new boxed set, Blu-ray release from Ward’s own Giallo Films and Treasured Films Ltd., the maestro of lo-fi brutality will finally get a wider audience, and his sanguinary soaked due! …

As a fan of low/no budget indie horror, I always look forward to seeing what these hometown auteurs come up with using their, often meager, means. When the studios start re-hashing literally everything, it’s usually in the indie folks that bring both the originality and the heat. I’m of the …

When I was a kid, I remembered seeing Tobe Hooper’s (Poltergeist) Salem’s Lot on TV. and it scaring the absolute shit outta me! Seriously, the first thought in my pre-adolescent brain was “they can’t do stuff this scary on TV., can they?!?”. Surprising, to well…probably nobody, Hooper’s take on the …

SOV director Bret McCormick (The Abomination) was churning out product for VHS rental at a pretty decent clip in the 1990’s. Some of his output is hit-or-miss, and he wore his influences on his sleeve, but for fans of the campy & cheap, but ambitious, this is the stuff! Wildeye’s …

George Romero’s seminal 1978 film, Dawn Of The Dead, is widely regarded as one of the most influential films in modern horror. Being such an iconic film interest in anything, and everything, about the fabled production is in high demand. Surviving stars of the film are regulars on the convention …

I’ll be completely honest, I LOVE Wild Eye Releasing’s Visual Vengeance series. Overlooked and forgotten (sometimes rightfully so) low/no-budget SOV features from filmmakers who either went on to greater things, or flashed out completely. They seem to make it their duty to preserve these gonzo, and legitimately entertaining, little gems …
