Lost and Found: There’s Nothing Out There

In which spring breaking college kids—including a bikini babe hall of fame final girl—fight off an alien attack at a remote cabin in the woods. Many have claimed that Rolfe Kanefsky’s 1991 horror comedy There’s Nothing Out There is the first movie to feature the now-trope of the self-aware horror-watching nerd character. Yes, years before … Continue reading Lost and Found: There’s Nothing Out There →

Lost and Found: Private Resort

In which we visit the raucous Private Resort for one last fling before summer ends. Teen sex comedy Private Resort (1985) was a late eighties cable television staple, which explains why I watched it approximately one-hundred times during those years. Those years, by the way, coincided with my junior high school years, and rarely has … Continue reading Lost and Found: Private Resort →

Lost and Found: The Lair of the White Worm

A neglected erotic thriller that got lost in the glut of the 1990s erotic thriller boom, Doppelganger (1993) comes courtesy of writer-director Avi Nesher, of such acclaimed films as She (1982), Time Bomb (1991) and Raw Nerve (2000). Okay, none of those … Continue reading Lost and Found: Doppelganger →

Lost and Found: Just Before Dawn

In which our Final Girl transforms from shy, modestly dressed wallflower to sexy and fierce survivor while vacuum-sealed into a pair of extremely tiny Daisy Duke shorts. Jeff Lieberman’s Just Before Dawn (1981) is an odd duck from the golden age slasher boom. Somehow I missed it all these years, but recently caught it streaming … Continue reading Lost and Found: Just Before Dawn →

Lost and Found: The Majorettes

Fun facts: The Majorettes (1986) was written by the cowriter of George Romero’s seminal Night of the Living Dead (1968) and directed by the actor who played the cemetery zombie in that same film. A nice pedigree that surely must bode well for The Majorettes, right? Well, ah, not quite. No, those trivia nuggets mean … Continue reading Lost and Found: The Majorettes →
