Zombie isn't just one of the greatest Italian horror films ever made. It's one of the greatest horror films, period. Amazing gore. Incredible atmosphere. And an eye trauma scene that's been making people squirm for more than 40 years. Full review in Sick Flicks Volume 1. amzn.to/4bk4mff
Breaking: After a lot of investigative work, I've uncovered the prime suspect in the reflecting pool slashing case. Getting the APB ready... Be on the lookout for this guy. Last seen in a ratty sweater and fedora.
Demons has a theater full of monsters, gallons of gore, and a soundtrack that sounds like someone handed a pile of cocaine to a heavy metal radio station. God, I love this movie. I wrote about it in Sick Flicks Volume 1. Grab your copy here! amzn.to/4bk4mff
Here's what readers are saying about my book, Sick Flicks: Volume 1! "Consider this a field guide to gore films, outré cinema and rare gross gems." "He covers the world of gory sleaze cinema better than anyone." Get your copy here! amzn.to/4bk4mff
Ready to revisit the golden age of splatter cinema? Sick Flicks Volume 1 is packed with sleaze, gore, maniacs, mutants, and gloriously unhinged cult movies from the VHS trenches. Featuring essays on Pieces, Burial Ground, Street Trash, Demons & more! amzn.to/4bk4mff
Absolutely heartbroken to hear we've lost Luigi. I love Luigi Montefiori aka George Eastman and 10,000 other pseudonyms so much. Just scripted an ep with him in it this week. One of the legends of Italian genre cinema. Fuck.
They don’t make movies like Pieces anymore. And yeah… there are reasons for that. But if you love sleaze, gore, and total 80s excess, it’s a must. This is one of 50 films covered in my book Sick Flicks: Volume 1! Grab your copy below! amzn.to/4bk4mff
Olaf Ittenbach didn’t just direct The Burning Moon. He also created many of the film’s insanely graphic special effects himself. The result is one of the goriest shot-on-video movies ever made. Full review in Sick Flicks Volume 1. amzn.to/4bk4mff
Lucio Fulci is the Godfather of Gore for a reason, but even some of his fans thought New York Ripper went too far. Which is exactly why it's one of his best. This might be the sleaziest movie Fulci ever made. I break it down in Sick Flicks: Volume 1! amzn.to/4bVGz5r
Cannibal Holocaust isn't a movie you watch. It's a movie you endure. It was banned. Seized. Taken to court. And it's still one of the most disturbing films ever made. Learn all the gory details in my book, Sick Flicks: Volume 1! amzn.to/4bk4mff
Some birds kill the weakest member of the flock by pecking it to death. All Night Long asks a frightening question: What if teenagers did the same thing? I cover Katsuya Matsumura's bleak Japanese shocker in my book Sick Flicks: Volume 1! amzn.to/4bKbJhe
These guys gave my book, Sick Flicks: Volume 1, their seal of approval. amzn.to/4bk4mff
Grindhouse Gospel has hit 10k subscribers! Thanks for all the support on the new channel. Took me 32 videos to get there. For comparison, it took me 42 videos to hit 1k subs on Sick Flicks...so faster the second time around. Lots more deep dives on the way!
Ready to take a deeper dive into the cinematic sewer? My new book, Sick Flicks: Volume 1 is out now! I take you on a tour of some splatter cinema's darkest corners -- so grab your barf bags because things are about to get bloody! Order your copy here. amzn.to/4rxSxJ1
Never in a million years did I expect this bonkers fantasy flick to turn up on blu-ray. @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social out here doing the lord's work...
Had to leave Ultramag's Critical Beatdown and Super Lover Cee and Casanova Rud's Girls I Got 'Em Locked off here. There's a reason '88 was part of the Golden Era of hip hop.
My little buddy Odin passed this morning. He was my gym pal, my helix sponsor cohost, and a very sweet dog. I miss him already.
We did it! Thank you to everyone who's watched, commented (well, not all of those... :p), subscribed, and shared videos. I wouldn't have gotten here without all of you.
Happy birthday to the godfather of gore. Lucio would have been 98 today.
Woohoo! Finally. Thanks to everyone's who's watched, subbed, and told their friends! Youtube is a tough game...
I've been injured (torn glute or something that STILL isn't resolved) and haven't squatted or deadlifted in over 2 months and haven't benched in like 6 weeks. Still hit a 280 bench today.
Oh hell yeah -- we're getting Fulci's Murder Rock from @vinsyn.bsky.social !
This is how fucking stupid Youtube is: They flagged my upcoming video on Irreversible (a week after saying it was fine) because I showed a screen capture of the film's RT page and the synopsis says the word "rapist" in it. It's on screen for like 3 seconds. I'm so tired of these fucking people...
