A Cure for Wellness is the best experience I've had watching someone play a 90s horror adventure video game on the big screen. I mean that as a compliment. A young man (Dane DeHaan) wanders around a giant 'wellness retreat' looking for his employer in. He asks the...
I don't know what it is about random horror and zombie movies that make me want to watch them. Especially nowadays with the zombie genre. Right now you would be hard-pressed to find a genre that is more played out than the Z. The market has been completely saturated...
“It's a truth, universally acknowledged, that teenagers are fucking idiots.” Jane Austin said that, and it still rings true today. It's every human being’s God-given right to be a moody asshole, but that doesn't make you smart. Brooding all the time doesn't give you...
Ah, Canuxploitation - the result of an insanely lucrative (and exploitable) tax break that gave the world a pile of Canadian horror films. Most of them are shit. Some of them are gold. Quite a few of them tried their hardest to come off ass pure USA grade product....
As a self-proclaimed Science Fiction buff, I probably should have already seen "Logan's Run." But I feel like it fell into the category of a “classic” that I already knew the plot and concept of, so didn’t rush to see it for myself. That’s what local library sales are...
Pure Brucesploitation: Enter the Game of Death (1978) By Justin Decloux Have you heard of the new fad that's sweeping the nation? It's BRUCESPLOITATION! Bruce Lee's death left a vacuum of expectation in its wake, so a bunch of weaselly producers decided to cash in on...
A compact Hitchcock thriller forgotten as a footnote in Canuxploitation history. Director Dan Hennessey stretches a simple cat and mouse premise to its utmost limits, at times bordering on BLOOD SIMPLE territory. Mighty praise I know, but I have to get people to...
The movie Memory and its 4-movie value pack, serves as a reminder that there is a time in every movie collector's life that you must finally sit down and watch at least some of the films from the dollar bin value packs that you have purchased over the years. Joining...
Legend of Zu was one of the first Hong Kong DVDs I ever bought. I got it from a tiny shop in Ottawa's China Town and forked over around $40 (two weeks worth of bag boy work!) to pay for the retail release. I'm not sure why that particular movie was the one that caught...
Look at that poster. Just soak it in. Okay. Now forget it, because that never happens in the film. This is ROTOR. Yea, it's your Dad's friend Jeff. The guy who clung to the memory of 70s cool until he died in that drunk driving accident a few years back. ROTOR...
