Many are quick to criticise emergency services, especially when it comes to response times, but Larry Cohen’s The Ambulance is always there when you need it. This medical horror classic has just answered the call for a Blu-ray release in the UK from Eureka Entertainment. Eric Roberts stars as the happy-go-lucky Josh Barker, who’s an […]

It’s not a beautiful day in this neighborhood for Jack Quaid as the hapless Simon McNally, a paranoid schizophrenic who is struggling to adjust to daily life following a prolonged stay in a mental institution. Ed Deerman (Jeffery Dean Morgan), on the other hand, a retired security guard, has alienated those around him and lives

Imagine if The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes dropped their respective western locations and opted for an island getaway. Well, the result would probably be Po-Chih Leong’s The Island, which is a nightmare excursion for six young students and their teacher to an all but deserted island, and it’s available now on

Horror gets down on four legs with the new release GOOD BOY – written and directed by Ben Leonberg, marking his first feature film effort. This cold and isolating story follows a man accompanied by his loyal Nova Scotia Retriever, Indy (Leonberg’s actual pet), to a previously abandoned family home up in the sticks. It’s

If you were to ask Google about the “Gong Man” for the Rank Organisation, you’ll likely be presented with some extraordinary back story. Probably similar in vain to how Mr. Rogers wore long sleeves to cover his inappropriate tattoos that he had inked while serving as an elite sniper. I prefer mystery, so I just

I first heard the timeless line, “I’m walkin’ here!” when I was five years old. Not from Dustin Hoffman, but from Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future Part II, playing his clumsy future son, Marty McFly Jr. It wasn’t until my final years of high school that I saw Midnight Cowboy via a

Thirty-odd years before Stephen King did for clowns what Jaws did for sharks, these energetic acrobats of silliness gave laughter to many, often during darker times. Kirk Douglas stars as one such entertainer, Hans Müller, in the classic drama, The Juggler, which has made its worldwide debut on Blu-ray through Imprint Films in Australia. After

Nothing keeps the action contained like an aerial hijacking movie, which I grew up watching during the early to mid-90s. I had an aisle seat right next to Passenger 57, and I loved all of them, even Turbulence starring Ray Liotta, which seems to have vanished off the radar. Jet Storm, however, might be the

What did people do before the Internet? Apparently, they drove frivolously during violent thunderstorms, sat around, and tried to impress one another with their views on life. The Old Dark House takes us back to those simpler times, before horror-comedies were in abundance, and it’s available now on 4K Ultra HD from Eureka Entertainment. With

When it comes to films that tackle the abhorrent subject of dirty cops, most will think of Sidney Lumet’s definitive title, Serpico, starring Al Pacino as a lone crusader who stands up to widespread departmental corruption. Abel Ferrara flips the coin with his cult classic, Bad Lieutenant, which follows an NYPD detective, played by Harvey
