Manson Family Movies Review
It’s no secret that America is fascinated with serial killers and other true crimes. While I’m not sure where this fixation comes from, I can’t deny that I, too, am intrigued by all of the sociopaths walking the face of the earth. There are countless documentaries, made-for-television movies, and TV series telling these true tales of terror, but there are none that are quite like the Manson Family Movies directed by John Aes-Nihil. The Plot Many believe that Charles Manson and his notorious “family” filmed their various exploits throughout their active years. Manson Family Movies is the re-creation of what … Read More

Moon Child Review
Since I started reviewing films, years ago, I have come to know Cult Epics as one of the best distributors of genre flicks; Everything from sound and picture quality to packaging and bonus features are top-notch on the few releases I own from them. With that said, I assumed I couldn’t go wrong by adding another of their releases to my collection. My latest Cult Epics acquisition is Agustí Villaronga’s Moon Child. Generally, I utilize the second paragraph in my reviews as a way to share the summary of the film in question with all of you. Because I don’t … Read More

Masks Review
My last review (The Curse of Doctor Wolffenstein) showed what Nico B. and the folks behind the scenes of ReelGore Releasing are bringing to the table, so to speak — splatter flicks for all of the gore fiends out there. While that fact does remain evident, their second official release relied less on viscera and more on atmosphere and psychological suspense. The film I’m describing is Andreas Marschall’s Masks. After another failed audition, Stella (Susen Ermich) is handed a pamphlet for the Mateusz Gdula Acting School for Theater and Film. Perhaps this will be her chance to get the role … Read More

The Shock Woke Me Up
Sex Murder Art Review
It always amazes me how much love and care some studios put into the horror genre’s most obscure and seemingly lost titles. Currently, there are various companies doing so around the world, but when it comes to the controversial films of German director Jorg Buttgereit, there is only one that can take that title — Cult Epics. Bringing new life to some of the most controversial foreign gore films of all time, Cult Epics has previously released beautifully remastered editions of Nekromantik, Nekromantik II, and Der Todesking. Well, the fine folks behind the scenes at CE have decided to up … Read More

Nekromantik 2 Review
Although I’ve strayed from the normal path a few times with reviews for films like Son of Batman and No Holds Barred, I have always been proud of the word ‘repulsive’ in the title of this little site of mine. This next review is certainly one that can justify that title and I am more than satisfied to cover it here for all of you fine folks. Nekromantik 2, the sequel to Jörg Buttgereit’s controversial 1988 film, Nekromantik, picks up almost immediately after the events of the first film. A new character, Monika, is seen digging up the rotting remains … Read More
