AMG DIRTY DOZEN 12/13/19: The End Of The Schlockmania’s AMG Era

by Posted on

After 60 entries, each boasting a dozen Schlockmania-penned short film reviews, the AMG Dirty Dozen series arrives at its close here. This post offers the last of Schlockmania’s reviews penned for All Movie Guide – and since it’s finale of the series, it has been expanded to fifteen reviews. The titles here include an all-star Donald Westlake adaptation, an unorthodox sequel to one of the all-time “southern discomfort” classics and a unique hybrid that blends kung fu with the spaghetti western. There are feature-length reviews for Battletruck, Jackson County Jail and Midnight elsewhere on Schlockmania so click on their titles below to access those feature reviews.

In closing, thanks to all who have perused this series over the years. It has been rewarding to curate this review compilation series and Schlockmania hopes that it provides an archive of capsule-size takes you can return to when exploring the world of cult cinema.
