savage-island When the gorgeous Daly makes an appointment to see a shady jewel dealer named Luker (as in filthy?), she has no intention of purchasing precious gems, she’s out for cold-hard revenge. Armed with righteous fury and a machine gun, Daly weaves a tale of terror on a jungle island that Luker will never forget!

Let’s be upfront here, this isn’t a “grindhouse” film, despite the label being slapped on the front of the DVD case. These days pretty much everybody uses the words “grindhouse” and “cult classic” for whatever the hell they please, almost to the point of stripping the words of any real meaning. It was bound to happen, there’s no sense whining about it as, eventually, the trend will burn itself out. Until Continue reading »

Limited Edition DVD

Those of you that suspected The Gingerdead Man was far from dead were absolutely correct as the evil cookie lookin’ for nookie is back! This time he’s delivered to the chaotic set of a B-movie genre company where he finds victims and mayhem as well as a few friendly, and not-so-friendly, surprises awaiting him!

As a hardcore Full Moon fan I can honestly see the entertainment value in this film and enjoy it for what it is but realistically, The Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust was a bad film, period. Don’t get me wrong, the production values were decent, the acting wasn’t Continue reading »

Folks, there’s just something about a Full Moon film that I simply cannot resist. You can always tell when you’re watching something made by Charles Band; he leaves this perverted Willy Wonka vibe stamped all over his work. He’s like Harold Hill and Dr. Henry Frankenstein all rolled into one. Whether you find his films to be timeless classics or steaming piles of shit you cannot deny the man’s dedication to his fans and B-movie horror/fantasy cinema. Good or bad, his heart is always in the right place.

Personally, I tend to enjoy all Full Moon films and trust me on this, I’m not one of those fair weather fans; I own some of their worst films made during their shot-on-video Continue reading »

Not trying to be facetious here at all but it doesn’t take a doctorate to figure out what this flick is going to be about. Am I right? I mean nobody is under the impression this is some kind of drama or romantic comedy are they? If you were “expecting something else” after seeing this film you’re an absolute idiot of an unimaginable magnitude.

Never let it be said Charles Band beats around the bush dammit! Evil Bong is absolutely, positively 100% about an evil bong…and…monster bras. Sure sure nobody said the man wasn’t a notorious shill; just that he didn’t beat around the bush. Continue reading »

I’ve probably stated this a million trillion times before but I’m a huge Full Moon Pictures fan. As a kid I grew up on all those wonderful Empire & Full Moon films that littered the shelves on my local video store. I gotta tell you folks…this video store was like something straight out of Hostel. The lighting was dingy, the windows were blacked out, the cardboard VHS sleeves were torn and flaking and the entire shop was always clouded with cigarette smoke. The owner was this icky, greasy sleazeball you could easily see pimping 70 year old hookers on the side. The XXX section even had beads hanging in the doorway! I mean, how fuckin’ real is that!

New Collection Artwork

I’m going on record as saying that I am absolutely, positively sick of the new Matrix-style, modern Goth, ultra action vampire. Even the grubby, evil vampires look like Calvin Klein ad models. It’s gotten to the point now where people are no longer scared of our beloved genres monster. There are a few films out there that shall remain unnamed that have even begun romanticizing werewolves. No joke, if one more person asks me what my favorite “Lycan” movie is…I’m going to smash my Bass Ale over their pointy little head.

You can imagine my delight when Full Moon Pictures Continue reading »

Several months back I was able to sit on the phone and interview one of my childhood heroes, Charles Band. Now, I’m sure some of you snotty a-holes are snickering and rolling your eyes but I grew up on Full Moon Pictures. If I wasn’t watching a Full Moon flick on Chicago horror host Svengoolie’s TV show, I was renting them on VHS.

This particular rental joint I used to go to was the sleaziest little place I had ever seen. The human skeleton that ran the place was a creepy, stinky old fuck that chain smoked something awful. His “store” was barely lit by a few old light bulbs and the Continue reading »
