More bad news: Hazel Court dies at 82 2008-04-17 11:31:07 We’re big fans of Corman and AIP up in here so when we hear that Robert Quarry is getting the big-time shaft it comes to us as a huge bummer. But they say tragedy comes in threes and from the looks of this news piece, we’re turning the corner at number 2 relating to [...] Read more:Court
Check out these sweet posters for The Thing! 2008-04-16 12:28:06 Would you look at that thing? I love silk screened posters. I’m a real big fan of guys like Coop (early coop, his fat devil-girl porno posters turned me off big time), Frank Kozik and Sheppard Fairley. I even own an old Coop poster for a White Zombie show featuring Bettie Page in [...] Read more:Check

Cinema Suicide T-Shirts! 2008-04-18 20:45:54 So the photo above kind of sucks and I plan on doing a good shoot with a better camera but I was so excited about this that I couldn’t wait to show them off. I just got them today and they’re the shit! The front-side bears the logo in all its 3-color glory [...] Read more:Cinema

Jeffrey Combs to star in The Dunwich Horror… kind of. 2008-04-23 09:15:32 You’re not a horror fan if you don’t like JeffreyCombs
. He plays the perfect weirdo and my con encounter with the guy confirmed my suspicion that it’s not much of a stretch for him to play those roles. Nice guy. Knows a lot about paper stock.
Dread Central brought down some news this morning about [...]
Bow the fuck down! It’s Ace Frehley’s birthday! 2008-04-27 22:05:35 Say what you want, but to quote Dave! “there is a time and a place for Kiss” and that time is right now here at Cinema S. I was really, really little the first time I saw Kiss on TV. I’m talking 3 or 4 years old. It was a special effects [...]
Shaolin Challenges Ninja 2008-05-01 07:40:53 As with a great deal of Hong Kong kung-fu flicks,you can’t really judge a book by it’s cover. Or in this case, a DVD by it’s title. Shaolin Challenges Ninja
isn’t really about a group of Shaolin fighters fighting Ninja, as cool as that sounds. It is more of a film about the cultural differences [...]
They Planted the Living and Harvested the Dead: Invasion of the Blood Farmers 2008-05-02 07:33:51 “It’s just a farm house and looks pretty innocent from the road, but once you’re inside you’ll see what REALLY happens on a terror farm.”
Those words opened a radio spot for a movie that would plague my curiosity for years, an advertisement for the Inavsion of the Blood
Farmers (1972). I wanted to know [...] Read more:Invasion

Horror Gets A New Set Of “Teeth” 2008-05-02 07:24:06 For the past several years, American horror has been stuck in a very unflattering rut. Don’t get me wrong — there are certainly several insanely talented individuals attempting to carve their own little tasty slice out of the genre, but most seem sadly content with rehashing ideas that have, for the most part, overstayed their [...]
Sammo Hung Me Out To Dry With His “Fatal Move” 2008-05-05 21:25:05 Although writer/director Dennis Law’s lifeless 2008 Sammo Hung actioner Fatal
Move began its cinematic life cycle as a prequel to the insanely entertaining Wilson Yip gangster pic SPL (aka Kill Zone), the end result, unfortunately, is light years away from its highly ambitious origins. That’s not to say that the film is a complete and [...]
Hammer is back! The house that Dracula built wins the rights to Let The Right One In 2008-05-05 11:45:34 Look, TV choices on Sundays are shit so when I saw Christopher Lee’s name in credits, it was all I needed to get me to watch Return To Witch Mountain. I have very fond childhood memories of the Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing double-whammy on Saturday afternoons thanks to the WLVI Creature Double Feature and because [...] Read more:Dracula

Nazis in spaaaaaace! Iron Sky. 2008-05-07 07:52:52 Is there anything funnier than Nazis
? Plenty, actually. The pulpy possibilities of casting a horrifying, genocidal empire as the villains in your Indy-inspired action movie or your 30’s era sci-fi movie are endless. Hogan’s Heroes proved that if nothing else, they were easy to make a mockery of and no one can seem to get [...]
Mother always knows best in “Mother’s Day” 2008-05-06 21:12:27 One of the early cinematic abominations to pour forth from the filthy minds at Troma Films, “Mother’s Day” is a lot like most exploitation epics of the era—nasty, brutish and with a dash of slapstick comedy thrown in to make all the rape and murder a little more palatable. Director Charles Kaufman (brother of Lloyd, [...] Read more:always
An Early D’Amato Film Reappears: Death Smiles At a Murderer 2008-05-09 22:59:05 Being a fan of european exploitation films I’ve always had an admiration for trash auteur Joe D’Amato. Love him or hate him, Joe has an amazing way of painting the world as a disgusting depraved universe where everybody is a twisted sociopath. D’Amato’ s work includes the more important films in the Emanuelle [...] Read more:Early

Prachya Pinkaew’s “Chocolate” Might Rot Your Teeth 2008-05-09 22:44:46 Bold statement of the month: Thailand — Prachya Pinkaew in particular — is the reigning champ of action cinema. The rest of the world, it would appear, is still trying to catch up. What makes this country’s ballsy brand of no-holds-barred, anything goes martial arts mayhem so impossibly intense, you ask? It has, I believe, [...] Read more:Chocolate
