Fred Dekker’s classic cliche exploiting genre blending classic has been given an amazing release by Shout!Factory.
The Green Inferno is Eli Roth at his most uncompromising and unhinged. A throw back picture to the cannibal films of the Seventies and Eighties, it is not for everyone. Shout!Factory have given it a deluxe release.
Cat People is an excellent exercise in technique that elevates a B-movie into grand entertainment. The Val Lewton produced RKO film has been given lush treatment by Criterion.
Based on a Cornell Woolrich novel, The Leopard Man stands as one of the best films of the Val Lewton RKO pictures run. Shout!Factory have given it a pristine release.
The Chill Factor is a VHS-era horror film that never quite gets it right. Unintentionally hilarious at times, a rental is recommended prior to a purchase.
This Island Earth is often spoken about with the same high regard as Forbidden Planet. Shout!Factory have given it a definitive release.
Wanted: Dead or Alive is a fun action film from the Eighties starring Rutger Hauer and a surprisingly great Gene Simmons.
The Chairman is almost a classic, but a limp middle act hampers the film from its true potential.
Terror in a Texas Town is an enjoyable Western Drama from Dalton Trumbo and Joseph H. Lewis. I love watching Sterling Hayden on screen, and he is great here (even with a Swedish accent.)
The Monster Squad is one of my favorite family films. Olive Films released it on Blu-ray a few years back.
The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales is one of the funniest children’s films I saw in 2019.
