Project Metalbeast (1995): Fur & Steel

A cyborg werewolf?! Matty probes a quality sci-shocker as cool as it sounds. Every so often, with ‘90s horror finally achieving a modicum of respect among genre press, PROJECT METALBEAST finds itself on the cusp of cult status. The final film in the Filmtrust Motion Picture Licensing dynasty, made three years after the company became Blue Ridge Entertainment, Project Metalbeast was issued on video by co-producers Prism — long-time Filmtrust cust…Read Article

Wild Cactus (1993): Desert Heat

Matty profiles erotic thriller auteur Jag Mundhra’s provocative masterpiece. Suffering the ignominy of being sandwiched by L.A. Goddess (1993) and Tropical Heat (1993) – the two worst films he’d ever slap his name to – WILD CACTUS (1993) is the late, great Jag Mundhra’s first five star masterpiece, and joins the astounding Irresistible Impulse (1996) as the erotic thriller maestro’s crowning genre achievement. A quirky, darkly comic offering, …Read Article

Roddy Comes Out to Play: Jungleground (1995)

Matty takes a look at a sturdy Canadian action caper starring The Rowdy One. Lensed in summer 1994, shortly after Norstar Entertainment stablemate No Contest (1995) wrapped, JUNGLEGROUND carries over star Roddy Piper. Here occupying a plum lead role rather than a henchman slot, the wrestler turned B-movie favourite is Lt. Jake Cornell: a cop on the beat in the eponymous gang-infested wasteland of a future-shock city. Captured during a botched st…Toronto, ON · Toronto Read Article

Final Voyage (1999): Shipshape

Wynorski! Ice-T! Christian! Phoenician! Matty floats along on a real B-movie pleasure cruise. The films of Jim Wynorski move. By and large, Wynorski’s output is typified by a boisterous, devil-may-care swagger that, at the very least, kills ninety minutes or so. Yet as well made and as energetic as his pictures are, it’s whenever a villain is on screen that Wynorski really kicks it up a gear. Jim Wynorski loves — LOVES — a bad guy. He’s also s…Long Beach, California · Long Beach Read Article

Parasite (1982): All in Yer Face and Stuff

Matty dissects Charles Band’s 3D monster movie. It stars Demi Moore, don’t cha know. B-movie titan Charles Band’s fourth stab at wielding the megaphone following Last Foxtrot in Burbank (1973), Crash! (1977), and The Alchemist (1983), PARASITE was conceived on the set of the latter but released in theatres before it, on either side of the Atlantic [1]. The film started its profitable U.K. and U.S. cinema run in spring 1982; eighteen months and …United Kingdom · United Kingdom Read Article

Ted Bundy (2002): Stop It You’re Killing Me

Matty looks back at Matthew Bright’s darkly comedic serial killer biopic. Arguably the best known title of the early ‘00s DTV serial killer biopics due its ubiquitous presence on video store shelves, TED BUNDY (2002) is defined by a strange, humorous tone that essentially positions the eponymous maniac as a mischievous little scamp. Those who got their knickers in a knot about subsequent Bundy portrait, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vil…Ted Bundy · London Read Article

False Idol: L.A. Goddess (1993)

Jag Mundhra’s dreadful sex-com will leave you screaming for salvation, says Matty. Shot between The Other Woman (1992) and Wild Cactus (1993) but released stateside after the latter, L.A. GODDESS is unpardonable rubbish and tied with the equally soul-destroying Tropical Heat (1993) as the worst film to bear Jag Mundhra’s name. A dismally unfunny behind-the-scenes meta comedy, this sorry farrago sees the gorgeous Kathy Shower — in her first of se…California, United States · California Read Article

Restraining Order (1999): At a Distance of One Incredible Mullet

Matty has a ball with a lively romp from Phoenician Entertainment. The shout-out to VHS and cable hit A Murder of Crows (1998) across the top of its sleeve tells you everything you need to know about RESTRAINING ORDER: It’s another pulpy and gloriously preposterous thriller from Elie Samaha, Ashok Amritraj, and Andrew Stevens’ Franchise Pictures, cobbled together through their DTV subdivision, Phoenician Entertainment. Treating Restraining Order…United States · United States Read Article

Life After Sex (1992): A Little Woody

Matty spoons with maverick auteur Serge Rodnunsky’s second flick. The legend: Written, produced by, directed by, and — a la Bold Stroke (1990) — starring Serge Rodnunsky. Rodnunsky’s sophomore flick, LIFE AFTER SEX finds the auteur playing the role of Steve Rollins: a character who, in another Bold Stroke holdover, is basically another version of the multi-disciplined B-movie maverick, right down to having the same initials. A filmmaker, Rolli…California, United States · California Read Article

Bitter Vengeance (1994): The Steal Trap

Dave takes a look at another solid USA Network original. “In a way, it’s like each one of my movies is a tune, and they add up to a thematic album. In the end, of course, I turn out to be a scumbag instead of a hero!” Bruce Greenwood has certainly played his fair share of scumbags – and as he told The Cedar Rapids Gazette just prior to the USA Network airing BITTER VENGEANCE, he’s always been grateful for the chance to mix it up. “I’ve been very…Cedar Rapids · Cedar Rapids Read Article
