One of the most memorable #80s #movies for my young self was Robert Harmon's twisted cat and mouse road thriller #TheHitcher starring a deliriously creepy Rutger Hauer Panned for lack of motive, the film works on an almost supernatural level Any fans? vhsrevival.com/2019/02/07/on…

One For the Road: The Hitcher & Horror’s Lost Highway

Hitchhiking has bothered me for as long as I can remember. It conjures images of desolate roads, of deep ditches and dead bodies rotting anonymously on some dusty, open plain. I imagine acid-laced …

Rewatched THE RETURN OF THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE(the original cut before 7 min. of it were hacked out) and I love this movie. It's pure chaos. While the original TTCM movie is the best, I am torn at ranking what's second best between THE RETURN-- and TTCM2.

Last night i watched Planet of the Vampires from 1965. Italian scifi/horror that inspired lot of future scifi movies like Alien and watching this one it shows where lot of the influences came from. It is a B grade movie but i really loved this one. Slowly building mystery.

If you were watching horror in the 80s and 90s, you know all to well about the crushing disappointment of renting a movie based on a 'cool' poster or video cover. Exhibit A: Zombie Lake (1981). I'm sure you have plenty of examples of this cruel exercise in 'bait and switch'.😁

#JohnMcNaughton's deeply disturbing docudrama Henry: Portrait of a serial killer was first screened #OTD Banned for 3 years until 1989, the #movie was critically reappraised by #RogerEbert Here's a deep dive & a look at the killer who inspired it 👇 vhsrevival.com/2022/05/06/sh…

Shaving the Bone: Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

In 1986, rookie director John McNaughton was approached by a Chicago home video executive eager to cash in on the low-budget slasher craze, expecting a money-spinning slice of exploitation for his …

Is it a bird? Is it a Plane? Not in the cheapjack world of #CharlesBand, but 1992's priceless direct-to-video B-#movie #Dollman is a real treat This is the 'man with no name' with one hell of a twist Read all about it 👇 #90s #90smovies vhsrevival.com/2020/05/02/do…

Dollman (1991)

Is it a bird? It couldn’t be a plane; it’s way too small. Though it did travel from another galaxy. Perhaps it’s an alien, the kind of terrifying practical effects creation that w…

Madcap #slaher come #giallo #Pieces was released in the US on this day A #horror that manages to be both insanely brutal & completely off the wall silly has to be one of the most enjoyable of the sub-genre's golden age Here's all the reasons why 👇 vhsrevival.com/2021/09/08/pi…

Pieces (1982)

The slasher was my first real insight into the idea that a film doesn’t have to be particularly good to be enjoyable. I fell in love with action B-movies much earlier, particularly those glor…
