directed by: Lance Ozanixruntime: 30 mins or so. You can tell a lot from an exclamation. For example, “Yikes!” tells us you are scared. “Ow!” tells us you are hurt. “Zoinks!” and “Jinkies!” tell us you are trapped in an episode of Scooby-Doo. Sometimes, when you’re watching shot-on-video horror, you just have to exclaim “Holy … More Schlock du Jour: Holy Moly (1991)
directed by: Herb Robinsruntime: 90 mins THE WORM EATERS is a funeral dirge played entirely on kazoo. My disappointment with this movie is boundless. In my endless naivete, I assumed that a movie called “THE WORM EATERS”, wherein worms are eaten, and people subsequently turn into gigantic worms, would be right up my alley. Boys … More Schlock du Jour: The Worm Eaters (1977)
directed by: Olaf Ittenbachruntime: 74 mins Germany’s resident wizard of gore, Olaf Ittenbach, is a master of making the skin crawl.

directed by: Emilio Vieyra, Jerald Intratorruntime: 87 mins It’s February, you know what that means! Twitterpated teens with hearts for eyes, their wings and gills all aflutter. Love is in the air!

directed by: Michael Keeneruntime: 99 mins I think we can all agree that 2020 has been a heap of shit-matted fur on a rat’s diseased asshole.

I’m talking of course about going to the cinema. … More Schlock du Jour: The Head (2019)
directed by Shinya Tsukamoto Read this if you like crazy shit! THE ADVENTURE OF DENCHU-KOZO or *HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE UTILITY POLE GROWING OUT OF MY BACK is Shinya Tsukamoto’s fantastical 8mm film that preceded TETSUO: THE IRON MAN.

Directed by Donald G. Jackson (Rollergator) “Written” by Scott Shaw. This introductory paragraph may be an intro to the intro but I don’t care right now. Firstly, this is not the 1999 film Ride with the Devil by Ang Lee. No, far from it. Second, if I sound a little cranky throughout this review, it’s … More Schlock du Jour: Ride with the Devil (1999)
“We’re gonna get the sun drunk. We’re gonna get the sun drunk.” You’ve seen him as a strapping young ladykiller. You’ve seen him as a gruesome old count. Now see him as *checks notes* a band manager?

directed by Ron Bonkruntime: 91 mins The year is 1997. The Spice girls are ruling the airwaves. The SPACE JAM soundtrack is monumental. My parents just split up.
