Assonitis, whose Tentacles and Piranha II sought to cash in on the killer fish craze spawned by Jaws, first hit pay dirt in 1974 with Beyond the Door – a gloriously bonkers riff on The Exorcist featuring Emmy Award-winning actress Juliet Mills and distinguished British actor Richard Johnson. Set against the backdrop of San Francisco, Beyond the Door stars Mills as Jessica Barrett, a young mother who starts to develop strange behaviors whilst pregnant with her third child. Before you can say “split pea soup”, Jessica is displaying signs of full-blown demonic possession – complete with projectile vomiting and fully-rotating head! Could it be that she’s carrying the child of the Antichrist himself? Described as “disgusting”, “scary trash” and “maddeningly inappropriate” by film critic Robert Ebert and subject to a lawsuit by Warner Bros.

She says that she is special: that she carries a pure and powerful strain of the blood like nothing seen before, and that the society sees her and her child as its next evolution — or perhaps its greatest threat, should she turn against them. Is the Dark Red entirely a figment of her imagination — a complex coping mechanism to overcome a terrible personal tragedy — or is there some truth behind her story?

At the same exact moment the chaos begins, a worried father arrives in the district hoping to track down his runaway daughter. But the odds are not in their favor, because as any fan of zombie cinema knows, the real bad guys are never the undead, but selfish monsters of the flesh-and-blood variety. Borrowing from George Romero’s playbook, director Yeon Sang-ho makes insightful connections between zombies and the castoffs of Korean society. “Seoul Station” Shudder – https://www.shudder.com/movies/watch/seoul-station/e6f41bf194d70346 Patreon Review "Bang Bang" Streaming Review (YouTube)![]() A girl gets mixed up with a spy trying to clear his name.

SHE’S TENDER. SHE’S ALL WOMAN. AND ALL MACHINE.

Never legitimately distributed until this very moment, SCARY MOVIE is a joyous horror triumph starring Academy Award© nominee John Hawkes. On Halloween night, big-time nerd Warren (Hawkes, channeling a mix of Buster Keaton and Crispin Glover) attends a spookhouse in a small Texas town. But is the haunted house as harmless as it seems, or has a psychotic mental patient found a new stomping ground? Shot in Austin, Texas, SCARY MOVIE combines Argento-esque neon, Freddy Krueger dreamscapes, and slapstick inspired by EVIL DEAD 2 to forge a valentine to Halloween, rubber monster masks, and chopped-off limbs. From the songs by Roky Erickson and Butthole Surfers to the surrealistic mood, this is a true discovery for adventurous horror-heads.

In 1989, filmmaker Barry J. Gillis and friends renewed the world's faith in Canada with the horror brainbomb known as THINGS. But that was only the beginning. Virtually unseen until now, WICKED WORLD is not only Gillis' 1991 follow-up to THINGS--it's also a new form of genre anarchy. Grant Ekland (Gillis) is a cop who is haunted by the death of his girlfriend at the hands of a psychotic slasher named Harold. When Harold is released from an asylum, there's only one option for Ekland: revenge! Filled with metal riffage, gnarly ultra-violence, and experimental techniques, WICKED WORLD feels like what would happen if Salvador Dali injected acid directly into his brain while staring at a Cannibal Corpse LP cover. This is a highly personal treatise on the toxicity of society from one of the most singular filmmakers in trash-horror history. If you survive WICKED WORLD, you'll never forget it. Please note that WICKED WORLD was shot on 16mm film and edited on tape. This transfer is taken from the original 3/4"master tapes. Bonus Materials New transfer from the original 3/4” master tapes!

Originally released in Japan as “The Return of Godzilla” in 1984, this is the heavily re-edited, re-titled “Godzilla 1985”.

Well my friends let me welcome you to the 1970s where the porn industry was exploding with quick, silent 8mm loops showing hardcore sex films to a wide audience for the first time. And thanks to Impulse Pictures we are treated to another selection of vintage stag loops in this, the 32nd volume of their 42ND STREET FOREVER: THE PEEP SHOW COLLECTION series. The fifteen loops here contain early works from the aforementioned Jeremy, along with Mai Lin and Loni Sanders. The shorts include titles such as Cookie's Two Way Treat, Rectal Romp and Dildo Demons. A treat for everyone. We even get another visit from the beloved San Francisco Films company. As usual with these releases the picture quality varies from loop to loop depending on the condition of the source material but generally speaking they're all in pretty good shape and have an impressively crisp quality for 8mm porno loops filmed almost 50 years ago. Of course there will be lots of grain, scratches and debris as well. The only sound to speak of is the whirring of the camera as the action was recorded and the disc simply offers up the option to watch all 15 loops or pick your desired scene. Synopsis from back of DVD: Their place in history is undeniable.Hardcore 8mm stage films introduced explicit human sexuality to the public. Predating every other moving picture home format, these inauspicious productions provide not only a window to a whole other world, but also immediate relief for those not fortunate enough to make their fantasies into reality. Thousands of these underground movies were made between the 1960s and 1980s, and sold in the back of sex magazines or distributed to the almost 60,000 private "peep show" booxZths located in adult stores in most major cities. Impulse Pictures is proud to present 42ND STREET FOREVER: THE PEEP SHOW COLLECTION VOL 33, a new, continuing series of salacious 8mm shorts, re-mastered from original film prints.This collection features fifteen classic "loops" with titles like "The Dressing Room", "Two In A Tub", "Young And Hot", and more. Watch for adult film stars Loni Sanders, Linda Shaw, Chris Cassidy, and Mai Lin, and a slew of unknowns in these raunchy rarities. DVD - https://synapse-films.com/dvds/42nd-street-forever-the-peep-show-collection-vol-33-dvd/ "42nd Street Forever: The Peep Show Collection Vol. 34" DVD Review (Impulse Pictures) ![]() Written by Seth Poulin I like when things are divided into neat little sections. It makes deciding what to choose easier depending on my mood. Maybe I want to listen to relax with some Pink Floyd or maybe I'm in the mood for something spicy to eat. Or in the case of Volume 34 of the 42ND STREET FOREVER: THE PEEP SHOW COLLECTION I get to choose between Boy/Girl, 3 or More and Lesbian. You see this collection of 15 classic 8mm porno loops has been broken down into those three categories for your viewing pleasure. Whether you tackle Cleopatra And The Black Tongue, Teen Sucker or perhaps my favorite, Violation Of A Meter Maid you're in for a treat straight from the backs of those adult magazines that always seemed to have pages stuck together for some reason. Look for appearances from John Holmes, Susan Nero and several others who went on to become notable names in the exploding adult film industry. Impulse Pictures delivers another batch of loops that aren't perfect with some scratches and dirt and the like but they still have good clarity and color. You won't be thinking twice about the picture quality, you'll just enjoy the juicy action. If you need sound to enjoy them you better put on some Al Green or something else to set the mood because these are silent. It's just you and the sound of the camera's reels.

Filmed two years before Predator, many have commented that Alien Outlaw could have been that film's inspiration -- An alien ship lands in a remote mountain location and its occupants go on a hunting party. And, yes, their prey is human! This science fiction adventure has been praised for its subtle social commentary and humankind's relationship with guns, friends and nature. Fashioned like an old comic book story, ALIEN OUTLAW is the second film that B-Western film star Lash La Rue did for Writer/Director Phil Smoot. Always starring in cowboy flicks that featured him with a whip, La Rue said, "They just won't let me put that thing down!". But in his last leading role, Lash La Rue breaks the mold in a film that features both guns and horses but allows him to put down his trademark weapon. Perhaps, as a result, this has been called La Rue's finest film performance. “Alien Outlaw” Tubi TV – https://tubitv.com/movies/463514/alien_outlaw Dive into '85 "Don't Mess with My Sister" DVD Review (Elite Entertainment)![]() LUST destroyed his life.
