By Geno McGahee When I was a child, my favorite film was ROCKY III. Every Thanksgiving, I watch all of the ROCKY films in order and still enjoy them all very much, even ROCKY V, which gets a bad rap. In 2006, the ROCKY series would come to an end […]

Nudist Colony of the Dead (1991) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Mark Pirro is pretty badass. He wrote, rewrote, re-rewrote and directed NUDIST COLONY OF THE DEAD (1991). It says so in the opening credits. He also apparently made this film on only a $35,000 budget, and it’s awesome. The film starts when Judge Rhinehole (Forrest […]
Mandy (2018): NICOLAS CAGE HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Yo Adrian (Review courtesy of ALL HORROR.COM ) If anyone’s as famous for starring in the world’s wildest catalog of movies, more than he is his actual acting ability, it’s definitely Nicolas Cage. . Connoisseurs of award-wining cinema will definitely remember him from such critically acclaimed hits as Adaptation, […]
Beyond the Door (1974) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Full disclosure: I’m a bit high off antibiotics for diverticulitis so if none of this makes sense, blame the drugs. On any other occasion, just blame me. BEYOND THE DOOR (1974) begins with a demon taunting Dimitri (Richard Johnson) who has been working with him. When […]
SPICE WORLD (1997) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I typically love films that follow musical bands around. The Monkees HEAD (1968) and Sonny and Cher’s GOOD TIMES (1967) are among my favorites. SPICE WORLD (1997) is a fun addition to this small genre of great flicks. Some would tell you that the film SPICE […]
Evils of the Night (1985) – SCI FI Sexploitation Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza EVILS OF THE NIGHT (1985) opens with two couples getting it on in the woods. I like where this is going! The first guy (Shone Taylor) brings his lover (Crystal Breeze) to a tree. He then leans against it and takes a little oral from her. […]
Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978) – Musical Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Despite growing up in chaos as a child, I had an optimistic streak that could keep me going. There were certain movies that brought this out in me. One of those is the often trashed, under-appreciated cult masterpiece SGT. PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (1978). […]
THE NIGHTMARE (1981) Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza A distributor went to prison for 18 months because he refused to edit even one second of this video nasty cult classic. Now, we’re getting somewhere! THE NIGHTMARE (1981) opens with psychologically damaged George Tatum (Baird Stafford) in a straight jacket screaming as visions of the […]
Aenigma (1988) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Poor Kathy (Miliana Zirojevic)! Kathy is a student at St. Mary’s College in Boston MA (local pride) who only gets in because she is the maid’s daughter (Dusica Zegarac) I think Kathy is a gorgeous gal, but the opening scene disagrees with me. AENIGMA begins with […]
Exposé (1976) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza You say video nasty, I say ooh-la-la! It’s kind of like the tomato/tomahto thing, but just a whole lot sexier. EXPOSÉ (1976) or as it’s otherwise known as TRAUMA and HOUSE ON STRAW HILL begins with writer Paul Martin (Udo Kier) and his lover Suzanne (Fiona […]
BLOOD FOR DRACULA (1974) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza BLOOD FOR DRACULA (1974) aka Andy Warhol’s DRACULA, begins with the Count (Udo Kier) putting on cosmetics. One of my kicks is certainly watching a sexy gent delicately apply makeup. I often just watch a video of Klaus Nomi in front of a mirror doing the […]
Female Vampire (1973) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza The movies of Jesús Franco are so much fun! I love them for so many reasons. The blood, sex, odd stories and strange visuals that turn off so many draws me in. One of reasons I sometimes socialize with the straight-laced is because I get […]
