Snake Girl and the Silver-Haired Witch (1968) Scooby Doo for Adults! (Review)

New from Arrow, the Blu-Ray release of the amazingly titled Snake Girl and the Silver-Haired Witch is great news for both fans of classic Japanese horror and reviewers with a word count to hit. Jokes aside, the film boasts an impressive pedigree. It’s directed by Noriaki Yuasa, most famous for […]

Corruption (1968) Camp British Proto-Slasher with a surprisingly game Peter Cushing (Review)

Corruption (1968) Camp British Proto-Slasher with a surprisingly game Peter Cushing (Review)

Re-released by Indicator, 1968’s Corruption asks a bold question, unheard of during that era of British horror… “What if Peter Cushing did horrible murders in a 60’s style suit rather than a Victorian-era suit?” The plot of this Robert Hartford-Davis directed slasher is the kind of nonsense that you’d expect […]

City of the Living Dead (1980) Gratuitously cruel and inappropriately violent fun (Review)

October is upon us once again and with Halloween lurching inexorably towards us, there is no better way to get into the spooky spirit than with a good old-fashioned schlocky horror B-movie. With that in mind, let us turn to face the ghastly visage of the 1980’s City of the […]
