Backwoods Battle: Voodoo Rising vs. Squeal!
Camping trips and road trips just never end well, so it’s a relief that dumb kids keep going on them. This backwoods battle is between Voodoo Rising and Squeal, two Amazon Prime titles that both run about 80 minutes long … Continue reading
Sex and the slashers
Despite titillating descriptions of flesh and fear, bodies and blood, almost all four of these films barely brought me to the edge, and often left me shooting blanks. So which one finally provided the release I needed? You’ll just have … Continue reading

Camp Massacre – this fat farm slasher needs to slim down
Camp Massacre comes via one of those “horror circles” of indie filmmakers. Most directors/actors/writers involved have all worked together on various projects—most notably, the films The Hospital and The Hospital 2. Someone in the film can even be seen wearing … Continue reading
The 80s SLASHER VAULTS 8: forgotten SOV slasher, backwoods bummer, and end of era goodie
In this installment, it’s a slasher smorgasbord of three random flicks that got lost in the video store shelves back in the day. In my opinion, one of them should have gotten more love and deserves a DVD release. NIGHT … Continue reading

Sometimes I just need to see people die to be happy. But kills and cameos aren’t enough. At least one of these three fulfilled my need with some cheesy fun…. SELF STORAGE (2013) Sexy director Tom DeNucci also stars in … Continue reading
Just snuggle up with Bunni and enjoy the Prom Ride to The Funhouse Massacre
This is rare. Three modern “kill the group of friends” films of various subgenres and budgets that all gave me something to enjoy. So let’s get right to it. BUNNI (2013) A few months back I posted about the movie … Continue reading
Observance and The Perfect Husband – it’s man vs. woman in these two from Artsploitation Films

Sex, nudity, new wave music, parties—there’s just something special about the student body being slaughtered by a killer in 80s slashers. So it’s time for six of them. FINAL EXAM (1981) I would say the best thing about Final Exam … Continue reading

Does the Reeker stink?
The Reeker films have floated around cable for years, and I finally watched them. Honestly, based on the title, I seriously thought they were about a rancid odor cloud that kills people. But I was so wrong. It’s really just … Continue reading
