Lost and Found: Slashdance

Based on the rad poster and VHS art for Slashdance (1989), you’d expect a deliciously raunchy slasher, right? The poster promises underboob that the movie never delivers! Dammit! Well, you’d be sorely disappointed. I was. The actual movie itself is an amateurish snooze, with barely any slashing or actual dancing. Sure, we spend most of … Continue reading Lost and Found: Slashdance →

Lost and Found: Pets

Well, now. Boy howdy, what a movie! Okay, so I recently watched Pets (1973) for the first time and, wow, it’s bizarre. Probably because it feels like three increasingly disturbing vignettes strung together to form a strange, road-trip-style movie. This disarming oddness is part of what makes it a memorably strange cult film. However, the … Continue reading Lost and Found: Pets →

Lost and Found: Good Girls Don’t

Good Girls Don’t went straight to video in 1993, and has yet to make it to DVD or Blu-ray. I caught it streaming on our Lord and Savior, Tubi. I’m certain I also saw it back in the ‘90s on USA Up All Night. It sure as heck feels like the sort of movie Rhonda … Continue reading Lost and Found: Good Girls Don’t →

Lost and Found: Firecracker

Firecracker (1981), also known as Naked Fist, is another in a long line of 1970s and 1980s cheapies shot in the Philippines by producer Roger Corman. Directed by Corman regular Cirio H. Santiago—who also helmed one of the most memorable rape-revenge films of the ‘80s, Naked Vengeance (1985)—Firecracker mostly works as a starring vehicle for … Continue reading Lost and Found: Firecracker →

Lost and Found: Don’t Open till Christmas

I love Christmas horror. Every December I revisit several favorites. If I don’t, the holiday season just doesn’t feel quite as jolly! Bob Clark’s classic Black Christmas (1974) is not only my favorite Yuletide horror movie, but also quite possibly my favorite horror movie of all time. I like to discover new films, or new, … Continue reading Lost and Found: Don’t Open till Christmas →

Lost and Found: Fair Game

The prolific Australian exploitation film era of the 1970s through the 1980s, often referred to as “Ozsploitation,” produced a startling streak of stone-cold classics, including Mad Max (1979), Thirst (1979), Road Games (1981), Next of Kin (1982), and so many more. One of these days I hope to feature a few of those lesser known … Continue reading Lost and Found: Fair Game →

Lost and Found: Nadine

I’ve always enjoyed visiting the lesser-known works of great movie actors, if for no other reason than it’s often a pleasant reminder that certain actors can be counted on to deliver good performances, no matter how big or small the film. I consider Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger to be in that tier of actors … Continue reading Lost and Found: Nadine →
