Candidly I sit here evacuating my bowels on a Monday morning, thinking about 80’s Italian B-grade trash-horror. As my sphincter sputters I am thinking about that third door to hell flung wide by the voodoo priest, and the hooded zombies therein that would soon escape. As it becomes evident that I’ve recently eaten something spicy, I … More Schlock du Jour: Zombie 4 (1989)
Do you have qualms with sexy babes playing in a cemetery, sexual acts, or vhs fetishism? How about bootlicking, lesbian vampires, and pervy sex demons with 18 inch ding-dongs? If you answered yes to one or more of these things, you’d be better off avoiding NAUGHTY DIRTY NASTY, as it’s a medley of the same. … More Schlock du Jour: Naughty Dirty Nasty (2014)
Utilizing much of the same cast and crew from Spookies, that crap classic’s co-writer and co-director Brendan Faulkner also made this somewhat enjoyable but more-so rambling comedy/horror hybrid. It’s not great but offers some odd duck characters and charmingly cheap special effects.

Insane offering from Jess Franco runs a tad too long but should still be considered a triumph amongst trash film lovers. Just as Doctor Frankenstein and his assistant successfully zap life into his silver skinned formerly dead creation, Cagliostro’s goons break in to the cheap looking laboratory and attack. The attack leaves the doctor’s assistant … More The Merits of Sin: The Rites of Frankenstein aka The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein (1973) (Spain/France)

Most famously done in the film Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Diving deep into the … More Sick Cinema: 964 Pinocchio (1991)
I would say a solid 80 minutes of Knight of the Peeper‘s 90 minute runtime is dedicated to bare female flesh. Which is fine. It’s your dollar, make the movie you want to make. I’m sure director Jose Sombra looks back fondly on this film, one hand giving a thumbs up and one hand gently … More The Merits of Sin: Knight of the Peeper (2006) (USA)
