Tough Films For The Rough Crowd

The ready availability of video cameras in the 1980s resulted in an increase in low-low-low budget genre films that I hesitate to classify as a “boom” simply because while plenty were made, only a handful managed to work their way onto video store shelves across the world. The likes of…

    When the classic body-horror comedy STREET TRASH got its Blu-Ray release in 2013, there was much cause for rejoicing. Now fans of watching people melt into puddles of neon-colored goo and gore can double-down on their excitement when SLIME CITY and SLIME CITY MASSACRE hit the format this…

      Another week, another batch of new releases threatening to tear our wallets asunder. Once again though, I waded through the dreck to bring ten new picks out of the void, and hell rode with us!   Naaaah, just kidding. I just looked up the release dates on…

    You guys ever just look at your shelves and wonder why you own half the stuff that you own? I’ve been having that feeling something fierce lately, I’m going to be moving at the end of the month, and as such, I’m going to be downsizing and will…

    So here’s a little behind the scenes tidbit for you guys: I’m currently writing this intro while waiting for a wedding to begin. Partly because I’m a workaholic who can’t turn his brain off, but mostly because I’m an antisocial ass.   Oh, it’s starting. Back in a minute….

    I’m gonna be honest, folks, this has been a pretty busy week for me, professionally, and for a minute there I actually didn’t think I’d get this column in. So if you’ll excuse the usual preamble, we’ll jump right into it with this week’s ten Blu-Ray picks for…

    Not gonna lie to you guys, this week was pretty light on new releases. Not to be paranoid, but I wonder if it’s because everybody wanted to steal clear of the big weird-looking swinging dick that is DEADPOOL. All that means though, is that we had to dig…

      Well hey there, Daily Grindkateers, I didn’t see you come in. Come on in and warm yourself by this fire I made out of all the discarded DVDs of THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS MOVIE I found lying around. I don’t know about the rest of you, but…

          Hello, and welcome back to our newly-refurbished new home video release column. I’ll be taking this detail over from Jon for the foreseeable future, because I figure if I’m going to have a near-clinical problem buying more Blu-Rays than I know what to do with,…

    Looking at John Carpenter’s filmography, you can’t help but feel a little bit awed by the run he had from 1976 to 1994. Your mileage may vary on a few of them, but if you see a list that includes ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, HALLOWEEN, THE FOG, ESCAPE FROM NEW…

      Welcome to Bury Me In Blu-Rays, our new ongoing feature to make sure that you, our beloved Grindhouse readership, stay on top of all of the coolest pressed plastic to be released in the coming months from some of our favorite DVD imprints. Today focuses on Arrow Video, which…
