It's sick! It's twisted! It's House of 1,000 Corpses, and it's more fun than a wholesome bowl of "Agatha Crispies"! Dropped by two studios (Universal and MGM) and doomed to obscurity until Lions Gate Films gave it a limited theatrical release, Rob Zombie's gonzo horror flick is a blood-spattered throwback to the gore-fests of the '70s, lending new meaning to the term "box-office gross." Most critics misunderstood this unbridled exercise in graphic style and violence, but for devoted horror buffs it's a refreshing rebuttal to the comparatively "polite" frights of the post-Scream era. While paying homage to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Last House on the Left, Motel Hell, and other gory classics, Zombie's ramshackle plot (two young couples are... Learn More

Nathanael West's The Day of the Locust is by consensus the great Hollywood novel, a poison-pen letter aimed squarely at the tinsel heart of the movie biz. Only in the 1970s could Hollywood actually hazard a film of this story, and the result is suitably corrosive. William Atherton is the observer Tod, Karen Black the blond starlet Faye, and Donald Sutherland the hulking Homer--but they are easily out-acted by the colorful supporting cast. In particular, Burgess Meredith's exhausted showbizzy salesman and Billy Barty's strutting dwarf are superbly crafted gargoyles in this Hollywood wax museum. Director John Schlesinger piles on the rancid atmosphere and rampant hypocrisy until the movie fairly drowns in its own grotesque vision. Long before the climactic apocalyptic riot, the film...

This 1970 gem is somewhat of a reworking of LAURA but with a satanic twist. Filmed in Montreal, it stars Christopher Plummer as a detective discovering an elusive satanic cult while investigating the suspicious death of a beautiful prostitute. Based on the novel of the same name by John Buell, the film is a well edited adaptation by director Harvey Hart. Not too many films have dealt too seriously with the uccult, asside from the EXORCIST and THE WICKER MAN, to which this film can take its place allongside. Its Provocative, original and has a powerful ironic climax from which I think SEVEN's climax was influenced from; giving into wrath. Great book... Great movie...

Despite it's awkward title and slow start, "Miner's Massacre" turns out to be quite an interesting take on the slasher genre. Here we have a group of friends(who look wayyyyy to old to pass as teenagers) searching for treasure in an old mine. The locals repeatedly warn them not to go near the mine for good reason. They are soon stalked and slaughtered by a re-animated 1800's-era miner who's trying to protect his gold. What "Miner's Massacre" lacks in originality, it makes up for in it's humorous script and memorable characters(particularly the Steve Buscemi lookalike Axl). The young actors are attractive and mostly appealing, and the cast is rounded out by some seasoned vets(John Philip Law, Karen Black, Richard Lynch, Jeff Conaway, and Martin Kove). "Miner's Massacre" is a... More Info About This DVD Actor(s): Karen Black DVD Release Date: Released the 23 September 2003 Special Order

Based on the Robert Marasco novel of the same name, Dan Curtis's eerie movie puts a spin on celluloid haunted-house sagas. The well-adjusted Rolf family (father Oliver Reed, mother Karen Black, aunt Bette Davis, and young son Lee H. Montgomery) rent a huge old summer house only to find that its spirit is in control of the estate. The requisite sinister proceedings appear--including a possessed pool and the vision of a sinister hearse driver following Reed--that disrupt the family's unity. Black also falls under the spell of an elderly woman whom she is required to take care of, but no one ever sees. While it may not be as overtly shocking as other ghost tales, Burnt Offerings has a creepiness that gets under your skin thanks to good performances and the dreamy, soft-focus...
