"One of the bloodiest and most entertaining over the top biker flicks from the 70’s gets a great 30th Anniversary Edition release thanks to the folks at VCI. The story is familiar as a bad cop rapes a young townie and blames it on the bikers. Being this is a small bible thumping type of town; soon we have rednecks and bikers fighting it out via knives, guns, explosives and other deadly weapons. Blood flies and spurts with every wound and it is non-stop action up until the bitter end. Our bad seed cop gets the victim’s father and a local mercenary hit man involved, but the bikers also have their own arsenal (in the means of a Patton-like nut who could supply Libya with enough arms for an all out revolution). Listen for Nick Nolte’s voice (he was dubbed over for the role of Chris, the lead originally played by David Hyry). Despite some cheesy lines, non-actors and a horribly fake helicopter explosion, this is still one of the most enjoyable and a personal favorite of ... " [More]

"A Special Forces raid/rescue in Cambodia goes deadly wrong and leaves Lt. Bobby Quinn’s squad brutally killed. When the bodies hit stateside, Quinn wakes up during his own autopsy! He discovers that the rest of his squad has done the same, only they’ve gone completely over the edge into zombie territory feasting on the living. Teaming up with the only one who believes him, an annoying military cook, he must use his keen sense of flesh smell to help stop his comrades before the zombie virus spreads or he can no longer fight his own hunger. This is a one note premise that relies on horror film in jokes and homage’s to older and better movies. Definitely a film for fans of the genre from the get go, you’ll either have fun watching it or despise it. I found myself in the latter camp. How many Thriller video in-jokes do we need at this point? The obvious low budget doesn’t help either (strange because smaller budgets in zombie movie history usually helped). ... " [More]

Ashura

ASHURA - mini Cultcuts review
By digitalconquest in digitalconquest Blog

"Demons disguised as people walk the streets enjoying the splendors of life and several humans as snacks. A band of Demon Warriors are in charge of slaying them, but when one of the best warriors, Izumo, accidentally kills what seems to be an innocent girl, the group disbands and retires. Years later, signs and revelations point to the rebirth of Ashura, Queen of the Demons, and no matter what Izumo wants, he’s forced out of retirement. Teaming up with a mysterious renegade female thief (well, not mysterious to the viewer anyway), they must put the clues together and fight the good fight. The action is swift, the cinematography and sets are extremely colorful and beautiful to look at, but the entire production feels and plays out like a video game meets the Asian version of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The CGI is too cartoony with green neon blood dissipating in midair (less offensive for the kiddies I guess) and some of the plot twists are definite head scratchers feeling as if ... " [More]

"After a two and a half year stint in a mental institution, Renee moves with her new fiancé (Estevez) to the desert only to be confronted by nightmares that might be real. It seems a family of Mayans were killed in the house a few years back, but because the proper burial rights weren’t given, they are now zombies. Hungry and pissed off, they make lunch out of a couple of criminals and their hostages and then set their sights on Renee, Estevez and Michael, a local worker who has his own plans with Renee. A nice twist on the zombie genre that uses All Souls Day with Mayan traditions, but it doesn’t always work. Some good gore sequences, with the highlight being a nice head decap as the zombie family proceeds to rip off Joe Estevez’s head! Actually shot on film rather than the usual video, Heavener’s film will make several zombie fans happy, but it takes a good 50 minutes to get to the good stuff. Nice but cheap make up. A bigger budget, some restraint a ... " [More]

"Picture Brian DePalma’s Carrie being shot on video by some amateur with the reject cast of Saved By The Bell, and that about best describes Beauty Queen Butcher. Overweight and clumsy Phyliss Loden is tricked into the local high school beauty pageant as a joke. She doesn’t understand why, but her only friend outside of her cat talks her into going through with it. When the beauty pageant coordinator (a guy in drag no less) gets wind of it, she talks the other contestants into tormenting her to get her to quit. When they kill her cat and comes in last place, she goes psycho and starts knocking off one beauty at a time working her way up the beauty queen ladder. Will she make it to the top? I wanted her to so the movie would be over. An okay slasher premise with horrible acting and production values, this almost bloodless film doesn’t have much to recommend it to genre fans. Obviously meant to be humorous, the jokes are there, but the laughs are not. Whether or not ... " [More]

Unholy

UNHOLY - mini Cultcuts review

"It seems our government has been in cahoots with a German Nazi scientist who uses families in the suburbs and experiments on them. Specifically he tests the scientific methods behind necromancy by kidnapping people in their sleep. When Adrienne Barbeau’s daughter blows her own head off, Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s Nicholas Brendon shows up as her son to find out why she would commit suicide. They find her taped diaries about the Necromancer and soon neighbors and townfolk around them start acting very odd. People start killing each other or themselves and then it all goes to hell. It’s an interesting premise, but unfortunately the whole thing plays off very convoluted and ends up just a mess. Barbeau and Brendon give it their all and they both do well, but the script and other characters just don’t gel to any satisfying conclusion. The twists are corny and the gore is old school bad looking CGI. Without a script, I can’t really recommend UNHOLY at all. ... " [More]

"Small town Gothic Americana gets the good old chills. The Nance’s are trying to raise their baby and run a small farm in a tiny community somewhere in rural Kansas. Unfortunately, nothing seems to grow on their land. In the evening, a dark shadow covers all the light and kills everything in its path. When their child turns up missing, their weak marriage gets even more strained. He drinks more, she reverts to hysteria and the whole town thinks she killed the baby because she’s on psychiatric meds. Things get more creepy and violent as the tale moves along, but even by today’s standards, I don’t care how small a town is, if someone is taking pills for a mental breakdown, they don’t start treating you like a leper or a witch. Both leads play off each other well, but some of the minor characters feel as if they are right out of your local rural theater or acting class. It’s hard to recommend a movie where you don’t care about anyone in it, but ... " [More]

"if you get a chance, check out this new French exercise in terror. Based on true events, a couple is tormented during a night of hell by several assailants. It’s a simple enough premise, but the direction, editing and use of sound and shadow are all top notch leaving the viewer completely breathless. The chase scenes are on par with the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the ending as shocking as I’ve seen in a long time. The acting is top notch by the two leads, Olivia Bonamy and Michael Cohen as they run for their lives while being trapped throughout the entire running time. This is one exciting adrenaline inducing scarefest that made me nervous. Gorehounds will want to look elsewhere, but if tension building scares is what you are looking for, either check it out on the big screen or get the DVD when released from Dark Sky Films. Who would have ever thought the French would be releasing one of my favorite horror films this year. And I thought Haute Tension was just ... " [More]

"The Polonia Brothers are back with another so bad, it’s bad Splatter movie. This time we get a definitely rip off of Humanoids From The Deep with a ton of old movie references to other beach horror flicks. Three friends head off to Splatter Beach, two of them for sex, drugs and surf rock-n-roll, and the other to gather info on the disappearances of the local townies and sea life. Tons of rubber suited seaweed monsters crash the surf party as our geek reporter teams up with Misty Mundae to save the day. The jokes are bad, the acting is worse and the story so derivative that only Z grade movie loves might find something to enjoy. The special effects are of the fake blood laying on skin effect and one CGI beheading while the monsters look kind of cool in the 50’s sort of way. In all fairness, the editing and other fields of filmmaking have improved since the days of Splatter Farm, but not enough to make me enjoy this old bucket of chum. The soundtrack is even sub par and I ... " [More]

Puzzlehead

PUZZLEHEAD - mini Cultcuts review

Was this review helpful? [Be the first to tell us!]
"Walter is an inventor in a bleak civilization who manages to make a replica of himself via an android. But when his alternate “Puzzlehead” manages to befriend a girl that Walter has had his eyes on for some time, things take a turn for the worse. Walter can’t get beyond his reclusive non-conforming lifestyle while Puzzlehead is discovering some of his own personalities and freedoms. James Bai’s Puzzlehead shares a lot in common with Android (Klaus Kinski) but on a much smaller budget. It requires some patience, but it’s worth sticking it out until the end when both characters start playing cat and mouse games with each other for the love of Julia, a girl just as mixed up as both of them combined. Special Effects are minimal but effective and the acting is impressive all the way around. There are no signs of mentally healthy people in this dark movie, thus giving a sort of Eraserhead feeling without being absurd. For fans of indy scifi, definitely try a ... " [More]
