After I am ZoZo, this horror feature, also releasing from Anchor Bay today, was much more enjoyable, looked so much more professional, and to sound completely like a guy, did not skimp on the cleavage. Muck is a welcome throwback. Using 21st century pacing, and filming techniques, Muck is very much an 80s horror…

WolfCop (2014) – Lowell Dean
Get ready to howl, as the B-movie flick that caught everyone’s attention last year hits DVD today thanks to Anchor Bay! With its tongue planted so firmly in its cheek, it’s a wonder that the wolf can howl at all, this film heartily embraces and savages it Canadian and B-movie origins, while showcasing some fantastic…
ABCs of Death 2 (2014) – Various
Available today from Video Services Corps. is a second installment in what is bound to be an ongoing series, ABCs of Death 2. Like the first collection, 26 different directors are given a letter from the alphabet, and are asked to concoct a short film featuring a demise caused by something involving that letter….
Housebound (2014) – Gerard Johnstone
The Toronto After Dark 2014 winner (and for good reason) hits DVD and Blu-Ray courtesy of Anchor Bay today. I had missed this New Zealand horror-comedy when it screened at TAD this year, because I was in Hawaii, so was glad I was afforded the chance to screen a copy before it’s home video release. Let…
Return to Nuke ‘Em High Vol. 1 (2013) – Lloyd Kaufman
Anchor Bay was kind enough to give me my first Troma experience, and I’ll be honest, I really enjoyed it and laughed a lot! I knew going in that it would be crass, bloody and filled with nudity, and I wasn’t far off. Not so much a remake or reboot, as it is a…
Darknet Episode 1
Webseries are proving to be an awesome thing, as well as using various media platforms to promote your series, or product, and it looks like another brilliantly executed one has joined the already illustrious ranks, in the form of Darknet. Located at Darknetfiles.com the new series promises to be creepy, bloody and filled with names you may…
Tetsuo (1989) – Shinya Tsukamoto
I don’t often react with a “What did I just watch?” but this entry on the 101 Sci-Fi Movies list definitely had that effect. This one was bizarre, surreal, with hints of live-action manga, Lycnhian and Cronberg overtones and beyond that, just odd. Running at a sleek 67 minutes all I could do for most…
Robocop (1987) – Paul Verhoeven
Yet another film I grew up with has found its way onto the 101 Sci-Fi Movies list. With it’s over the top violence and gore, Robocop is like a larger than life comic-book, that has done nothing but get better with age. Verhoeven pushes Detroit police officer Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) past the breaking point, as he…
Dellamorte Dellamore (1994)
This one was just an odd, delightful, horror-comedy. To me it seemed like a combination or Sam Raimi and Guillermo del Toro, and made for a delightful addition to the 101 Horror Movies. Dellamorte Dellamore was simultaneously filmed in English and Italian by director Michele Soavi, and tells a wonderfully odd story, featuring necrophilia, reanimated boy scout corpses, dead…
Toronto After Dark – Inbred – Alex Chandon
Inbred, the second feature of last night’s double feature at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival, was a crowd-pleasing over the top gory and bloody film that was a delightful take on the oft-revisited hillbilly cannibal genre. I was initially put in mind of the unnerving Torchwood episode, Countrycide, but soon enough found myself sinking right…
