Peelers – Oil of The Damned! By Bob Blaschuk At first glance Peelers looked like the type of funny sleazy horror I would enjoy. I mean, look at that poster and tell me you don't think the people who made this film have a good sense of humor. While it is funny, and at...
Exeter – Jam Jars and Cheesies
Exeter – Jam Jars and Cheesies By Bob Blaschuk I don't need a movie to be good to enjoy it. To me, there is an art to making a movie that fails so badly on every level that it becomes good again. Still, for every film that can reach that level, there are a seemingly...
I’m Rubber, You’re Glue: The True Story of an 80’s Monster Maker – Book Review
A fun and laid back memoir about a Regular Joe special effects artist trying to get a leg up in the industry, I'M RUBBER AND YOU'RE GLUE reads more like a casual diary then a tell-all memoir. Shannon Shea is an effects artist that has worked on some of the biggest...
The Curse of Sleeping Beauty – She Ain’t Pretty, She Just Looks That Way.
The Curse of Sleeping Beauty – She Ain't Pretty, She Just Looks That Way. By Bob Blaschuk I decided to watch The Curse of Sleeping Beauty solely based on the cover, which has never really been a good way to pick entertaining films. I knew nothing else about this film...
Canada’s Rip-Off (1971)
Rip-Off is the lighthearted tale of a bunch of Toronto teens struggling with the reality of finishing high school. They pull pranks, they play in a band and they chase girls as they try to come to terms with the existential angst of the future. It's like a high minded...
Son of Kong (1933)
Son of Kong (1933) By Justin Decloux How do you follow up one most monumental pieces of entertainment in human history? You make a quickie seventy minute sequel and release it nine months later. Son of Kong has been forgotten to the sands of time. Its a footnote,...
Ator, The Fighting Eagle – Conan The “PG” Barbarian.
Ator, The Fighting Eagle – Conan The "PG" Barbarian. By Bob Blaschuk Oh, Ator, I have a special place in my heart for you. I remember watching the "Cave Dwellers" episode of MST3K and loving the weird, hilarious, and bizarre world of Ator. At the beginning of "Cave...
Knights (1993) – A Cyborg Swordsman Romp
Knights (1993) - A Cyborg Swordsman Romp By Justin Decloux Is this going to be Good Pyun or Bad Pyun? It's a question I ask myself every time I watch one of the films of writer/director Albert Pyun. The man worked furiously in the 90s to deliver all kinds of VHS ready...
Blood Punch – Fruity Looper
I admit that I can be a negative person when it comes to a lot of low-budget films. Which is a bit odd since some of my favourite films fit into the low budget "so bad it's good" class. Still, when I watch a film with a smaller budget and big ambitions for some reason...
Take ‘A Cure For Wellness’
A Cure for Wellness is the best experience I've had watching someone play a 90s horror adventure video game on the big screen. I mean that as a compliment. A young man (Dane DeHaan) wanders around a giant 'wellness retreat' looking for his employer in. He asks the...
