A few times a year, I open my mailbox to find an innocuous package from cult film preservation and releasing company, Vinegar Syndrome. I never know what film I’m going to get. In the past few months, I’ve reviewed a body horror film (Australia’s Body Melt 1993), a horror parody …

On April 1, 1973. the most bizarre and macabre event in all of Brooklyn’s modern history occurred. Twelve people inside a reputed house of prostitution and an illegal abortion clinic were killed. Only one occupant survived. When found by police, she told a tale so fantastic and horrific, she was …

Anyone who’s read my reviews knows that I am a HUGE fan of anything Filmmaker Larry Fessenden does. When I interviewed him last year (read that interview here), we talked about his newest project, Depraved, a contemporary tale based on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Larry had mentioned his affinity for the …

There are so many shorts at this year’s Boston Underground Film Festival, it was hard to choose only a few to review. After checking out the Futuristic Wrist Watch music video I Owe You One Banana And Two Black Eyes (read the review here) for the fest, I had no …

When I first found out that I had the opportunity to interview Emile Hirsch, an actor I have followed and loved since first seeing him in The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys back in 2002, I was so excited I could barely contain myself. Thanks to my beautiful, amazing friend …

Last month, I was greeted at my mailbox by a package from one of my very favorite film distributors, Vinegar Syndrome (see my review of their 4k Blu-ray release of 1993’s Body Melt here). Since I hadn’t ordered anything from them recently, the contents inside that inconspicuous mailing envelope were …

Nuns are pretty scary, and not only because of James Wan’s The Nun (read our review here). First of all, when there’s a bunch of them together (is a group of nuns called a cloister?), they look like clones. They’re all wearing the same outfit that covers them from head to toe, …

When I first heard that Zach Green (read my interview with him here) and the folks over at Fatal Pictures had a new project in the works called Hang Up!, I was so very excited! I have LOVED everything they’ve put out so far, most especially the Box Cutter Trilogy – Heir …
