When I’m in the mood for some nice big, erect hairy beasts….
Horrifying hardcore werewolf movies rule, but once in a while, you need a good campy movie featuring an upright, talking werewolf with personality. WolfCop and Wolves make the perfect double feature. WOLFCOP (2014) WolfCop had me at the werewolf dick … Continue reading

Little Shop of Car-rors
The dark and exploitative flick Blood Car is essentially Little Shop of Horrors with a car. A nerdy young teacher—who also happens to be against eating meat—is clueless that the girl with the vegan food stand (all grown up Anna Chlumsky … Continue reading
