It’s amazing how far the zombie movie has come in the
last few decades. It’s gone from a cult fave subgenre for horror fans to one of
the most reliable commercial trends for all levels of the horror […]

Vice
Squad is one of the exploitation classics of the 1980’s. It’s
got the right combination of sleaze and style, it hits as hard as an
exploitation classic is supposed to hit and it’s topped off by an […]

Disaster movies have been with us since the silent film
era but common wisdom has the prime era of disaster movies beginning in 1970
with Airport.  However, a long-in-development epic released
the previous year […]

It’s two days until Halloween.  October is the one month where the general
public gets into spooky pursuits so you’ve got to mainline that vibe as much as
you can to carry you through the other eleven, […]

If you’re interested in the subversive side of genre
cinema, Nikkatsu’s “Roman Porno” era is a fascinating subject for
study. This was ostensibly a line of sexploitation films but they were often
subverted by […]

Volume by volume, the 42nd Street Forever Peep Show Collection has stacked up the entries
to become a mainstay of the Impulse Pictures library. In fact, the series has amassed
thirty volumes since its debut in […]

If you are a bibliophile with a yen for vintage
paperbacks from the less respectable side of the tracks –  men’s action novels, horror books, tabloid
cash-ins and the adult paperbacks kept in “the back room” – […]

Eclecticism is often the name of the game with the AMG Dirty Dozen. This installment is no different. This time you’ve got an underrated cop flick with Jeff Bridges that plays like an indie movie version of Miami […]

If Rambo was the unexpected success of 2008, Rambo: Last Blood will be remembered as the surprise controversy of 2019’s autumn season.  It was announced as a final bow for the character and entered the multiplex […]

When Sylvester Stallone made a low-key, heartfelt revival of his most famous character with Rocky Balboa in 2006, it was unexpected but welcome with open arms by fans and film critics alike.  When he made a […]

The Rambo
films have an enduring popularity as a franchise but there doesn’t seem to be a
lot of love for Rambo III specifically.
It tends to inspire a ho-hum response from fans and critics alike, […]

1985 was very good to Sylvester Stallone at the box office: he enjoyed two titanic hits with sequels to past successes, Rocky IV and Rambo: First Blood Part II. Both are united by a rah-rah, U.S.A.-all-the-way […]

The theme for September’s AMG Dirty Dozens could be
described a few different ways. If you want to be a wag, you could call them  grab-bags. If you’re a bit more charitable in
your thinking, consider them a […]

When people talk about the Rambo series, the discussion
is usually colored by Rambo: First
Blood, Part II and its cartoon-lunatic excesses. The more knowledgeable of
action fans will naturally be quick to point […]

It is
simultaneously the most famous and most infamous of Stephen King’s formidable
bibliography. Until the unexpurgated version of The Stand was released a few years later, it was the lengthiest of
King’s […]

The relationship between Stephen King’s novels and
television stretches as far back as 1979 with the original two-part miniseries
of Salem’s Lot but said relationship
really heated up in the ’90s. The catalyst […]

Autumn is upon us now and this change in seasons brings
an eclectic assortment of fare drawn from Schlockmania’s archives as a writer
of All Movie Guide reviews. This batch of short reviews includes a killer […]

Last year’s half-adaptation of Stephen King’s It was a gamble on Warner Brothers’ part, covering only the childhood era of the novel and hoping the audience would be intrigued enough to return a year later for a […]

Autumn’s just around the corner but don’t give up all
your summer fun just yet. Even as we roll into September, you can keep the
spirit of the grindhouse alive on your home theater.  The following is a list of a […]

The 1970’s and 1980’s produced a lot of horror
classics.  They produced even more
entertaining junk.  Superstition definitely fits the junk category and manages to be
quite watchable thanks to a lucky collision b […]
