Click on the Bluray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Phillip.
Review in a Nutshell: Hampered by a troubled production within a collapsing studio, Ghost Town (1988) is a “Weird Western” horror movie with an identity crisis whose moments of clear potential sadly fall short. Cool poster, though.

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Phillip (formerly known as Eeeper of Eeeper’s Choice).

Watch out for random fish monsters, because Shocking Dark is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the title or the Blu-ray cover above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Tom Pandich.
Review in a Nutshell: A Z-grade Italian exploitation film that manages to rip-off both The Terminator (1984) and Aliens (1986), Shocking Dark is none-the-less wildly entertaining in its brazenness. It truly has to be seen to be believed.
Hang on to your soda cans, because Willy’s Wonderland is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie title or the Blu-ray cover above to download our review of the film, featuring Zoe of Friends From The Internet.
Review in a Nutshell: A horror-comedy starring Nicolas Cage as a silent protagonist murdering an abandoned theme park full of Satanic animatronics, Willy’s Wonderland is a fun little film whose obvious flaws are buoyed up by a great soundtrack and some quirky character acting.
Hold on to your ancestral family curses, because Black Sunday is The Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Blu-ray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Megan, aka “Brainchild“, from The Manga Test Drive.
Review in a Nutshell: A sumptuous pre-giallo Gothic horror film that is also a blatant Dracula rip-off, Black Sunday highlights the aesthetic choices that earned director Mario Bava the title of the godfather of Italian horror.

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring M.O.M., the “Mistress of Malapropisms”.
Review in a Nutshell: A science fiction film with heavy fantasy elements told in a series of vignettes from different directors, The Dungeonmaster (1984) is a high-concept, low-budget oddity from the heyday of producer Charles Band and distributor Empire Pictures.
Hold on to your crystal skulls, because House II: The Second Story is the Greatest Movie EVER?
Click on the title or the Blu-ray cover to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Kyle “ChibiUFO” Foster.
Review in a Nutshell: A PG-13 “sequel” to an R-rated original, House II: The Second Story is a horror comedy film that mostly works because of its strong production values, irreverent tone, and a strong performance by character actor Royal Danno as Gramps.
Don’t bargain with the Devil, because Phantom of the Paradise is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Blu-ray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Matt “St. Mort” Kelly of Horror Movie Night.
Review in a Nutshell: A bizarre mash-up of Faust, The Phantom of the Opera, and The Picture of Dorian Gray, Phantom of the Paradise is a rock opera horror comedy that brims with brilliant visuals, outstanding songs, scathing satire and surprisingly deep and nuanced themes about power and the corruption of the creative arts.
Rev up the geospheres, because The Lawnmower Man is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Bluray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring “Celebrity Translator” Neil Nadelman.
Review in a Nutshell: A low-budget science fiction film with pioneering computer graphics and a burbling anxiety about the future abuses of virtual reality technologies that have as-yet failed to materialize, The Lawnmower Man bears no real resemblance to its source material, but the production design and performances are good despite a muddled narrative and inconsistent tone and pacing.
