New Review: The Bird With the Crystal Plumage (1970)

Ha! Busy! BUSY!! And it’s going to get worse — the Bishop is going to be gone for most of the month of February, which means that I’ll have to do my inadequate best to fill his shoes in his absence! BUSY! At least I got one thing done: This week’s new review is of [...]

New review: Mountain of the Cannibal God (1978)

If you remember my review for Frankenstein Reborn! (1998), then you’ll be expecting what you get in The Werewolf Reborn! (1998). If that previous review has slipped your mind, not to worry: Just remember what is common to just about every werewolf movie, and you’ll know what’s in store in The Werewolf Reborn! (1998). Plus: [...]
