| |  | | CINEMA SUB TERRA: It's the sub-normal, the sub-intellectual, and yes, even the sub-standard from the most obscure corners of the diverse world of film and video reviewed here for your reading pleasure. | | |  |  'Hey Ronny', you may say, 'These are mostly just a bunch of weird, old horror movies. I want real underground cinema, like the films of John Cassavetes and Maya Deren, not this junk!', to which I eloquently respond, 'Shut your danged face! Anyway, The Fury's got John Cassavetes - and he explodes THIRTEEN TIMES in it! THIRTEEN TIMES! Bet that never happened in any of those (yawn) movies he directed!' So anyway, sally forth and peruse our constantly growing list (see right) -- |

VS. FRANKENSTEIN:
Al Adamson's mind-numbingly cheap horror opus sounds like
a classic, and it is ... in a way. Sorta. It started out as
a sequel to the hit biker movie SATAN'S SADISTS, but when
Adamson found out that former horror giants Lon Chaney, Jr.
("The Wolf Man") and J. Carroll Naish ("The
Beast with Five Fingers") were available midway through
production, he changed the title and made it into a horror
movie. What we're left with is some horror stuff at the beginning
and the end, and a lot of biker accion in the middle. Can
you stomach it? Read

| |  | | NEW REVIEWS: | | Why watch Ang Lee's RIDE WITH THE DEVIL . . . when you can watch RACE WITH THE DEVIL instead? Warren Oates (Cockfighter, Two-Lane Blacktop) and Peter Fonda (Dance of the Dwarfs, Ulee's Gold, The Limey) star as two fun-loving dudes in a mega-sized RV who come across a stange night ritual. "What is it? An orgy, maybe?" Oates asks, but no, to the audience's dismay, it's just a bunch of zany hillbilly satanists. Soon this homicidal psycho cult is chasing Oates & Fonda across the country in a wild car chase/horror hybrid that capitalizes on both the early 70s trend in devil movies and the undeniable entertainment value of seeing cars n' trucks get blowed up real good. Read On | | | | ALSO: | Bonding psycho-killers and extranous pig action in PIGS, plus: Four students - a striaght arrow guy, his swinging hipster buddy, a babe, and a nerdy chick with big glasses - pack into a van decorated with wavy psychedelic flowers and travel to the mysterious Boot Island in search of the abominable snowman. Another episode of SCOODBY-DOO? No, but that's a good guess -- it's actually SHRIEK OF THE MUTILATED, from the kind-heated folks what brung you SNUFF. Read On | | |
|  Ah, Europe - the Continent, land of culture, classiness, old stuff, and the Euro. Yet what strange cinematic critters are creeping 'neath Europe's dark, blackened underbelly? See what we dig up from among those difficult to get, ultra-weird Euro-dubs: It's the Dario Argento-produced, Michele Soavi-directed The Church |
| | |  | | It's War of the Turkeys as we pit two classic Cameron Mitchell movies against each other in a Thunderdomean battle of overall viewing quality. Is KILL SQUAD better than NIGHTMARE IN WAX, or is NIGHTMARE IN WAX better than KILL SQUAD? Find the answer to the question that's been plaguing Cameron Mitchell fans for decades! Read On | | |  | | COMING SOON: Exciting articles on all kinds of amazing subjects! . . . but let me just clarify that 'soon' unfortunately means whenever I can get around to it, which may not be for awhile, since I'm now working on other, more unfortunately brain-crushingly pressing projects. But please feel free to amuse yourself with all the existing material! |
