Attack of the Giant Leeches [1959] - While bootlegging moonshine, and finding traps, folks in a town are attacked by aquatic leeches. I first saw this in my crazy eBay days of the early 2000's, when I stumbled upon a seller of n'th generation VHS dubs. At this point, you couldn't get much, since no one was making things on DVD aside from blockbusters, and most of the VHS tapes had tracking issues. At least the bootlegs would be new tapes at the very worst.
Now I find myself stumbling on it again, this time in a 6-pack of movies alongside the various Paranha and Octopus clones. In ten years, we went from scouring for laserdisc copies to getting a DVD of several movies at the cost of abour 40 cents each. But due to the dodgey transfers used in the DVD, they are little more than cheap digitizations anyway, so perhaps we haven't gotten all that far. Except you can buy them at Walmart now. continue reading...

VLOG [2008] - Reality horror moves to the internet. Then nothing much happens. So with the rest of the crew doing their VLogs, I figured I'd chime in. Not with an actual vlog, as I'm far too lazy, so instead I'll just do one about the horrific movie: VLOG.
Let's take a history lesson that I'm all too embarrassed to recall. Dig back a decade, give or take a few years, on the internet. Webcams were becoming a big thing and provided the most 'instant' method of getting oneself from real life onto the net. Now video sites were really non-existant. Best case you uploaded grainy MPG files or something similar. Maybe encode them as wmv, and then try some clunky embed code. We'll ignore RealVideo files, since that was painful on all accounts. continue reading...

Doctor Mordrid [1992] - An ancient sorcerer must prevent his evil brother from causing destruction on Earth. Doctor Mordrid is further proof that Jeffrey Combs can do no wrong. I dare you to find a movie that he wasn't good in. You can't. Sure the movies may not be good, but he throws himself into every character treating them as serious as any A list performance should be. continue reading...

Princess [2006] - A good man goes to war. Princess is a modern-day tale of revenge centered on August, former missionary turned unwitting uncle and guardian of Mia; the 5-year old daughter of his recently deceased sister, Christina. Gaining the nickname of “The Princess” in the porn community, Christina died from years of drug abuse leaving Mia to be continue reading...

Session 9 [2001] - A group of men find horror in the most unexpected place (a disused mental asylum)! It had been a while since I'd seen a good horror movie so I wasn't expecting much beyond the typical “thing in the closet waiting to jump out at you” trope when it came to Session 9. The plot, in a nutshell, is about a group of asbestos-removers tasked with working in an old mental continue reading...

Crash and Burn [1990] - In the future, all computers are banned from private use. Synthoids are also around and cause trouble. Here we have a pseudo-hold over from Charles Band's Empire days. While not a real sequel, as Robot Wars fits that a little better as a followup to Robot Jox, it does lift some archival footage in order to achieve the climax of the movie. The movie title is even an homage to Robot Jox as the term 'Crash and Burn' is analogous to 'break a leg'; the saying used prior to robotic combat before each event. However most of the borrowed elements are so out of context, they have little relation to their source material. One may say that in addition to just grabbing footage, the type of movies Band wanted to make were still in the same vein as previous releases. continue reading...
