Week two in DocuWeeks' three-week run in Los Angeles brings new films about a concert in a Nazi concentration camp, an unjust prison sentence given to a Lakota Sioux medicine man and a company that lost two-thirds of its workforce on September 11. It also raises a question: To re-enact, or not to re-enact? The three films mentioned – Doug Shultz's "Defiant Requiem," Jennifer Jessum's "Holy Man: The USA vs. Douglas White" and Danielle Gardner's "Out of the Clear Blue Sky" (left) – all rely at times on staged re-creations of events. The...

[Editor's note: Shout! Factory are offering 50% off all Corman Blu-rays if you pick up all seven as a bundle. Pretty sweet deal.]
I think the late 70s and into the 80s is my favourite Roger Corman era. Many people disagrees with me on that, of course. His 60s output is awesome (particularly if you're an exploitation nut), but if you're a straight genre fan and dig on cult scifi, horror or creatures features it really doesn't get any better than this period.
The reason for this era of great output is because of three films: Jaws, Alien and Star Wars. When these films came out, Corman realized the studios had started making His kind of movie and were making them bigger and better. This forced Corman to sink more money and talent into the genre films he was producing and in some of...

When people think of Roger Corman, they think of two things: camp filled films with copious amounts of blood and skin, and Death Race 2000. However, hoping to help change that is the genius collective known as Shout! Factory.
Releasing a collection of films under the banner of Roger Corman’s Cult Classics, then company has added to their ever growing catalogue of Roger Corman produced projects, which currently includes the aforementioned Death Race 2000 among others, with two new releases of classic projects, Galaxy of Terror, and Forbidden World.
Both are solid winners here, but the true king of the pair here is Galaxy Of Terror.
The film follows the crew of a rescue ship, who while on a mission, come into contact with a group of monsters. However, these aren’t just your run of the mill beasts. These monsters are bread from th very subconscious of each member of the crew,...

Yesterday, the Blu-ray editions of Friday The 13th Parts 2 & 3 were released, so in addition to reviewing those I thought I’d go for the trifecta and take a look back at the recently released Blu-ray version of the original film, which featured the much heralded “Uncut” version in all it’s high-def glory.
As far as the films themselves, I’ll stay away from giving yet another subjective opinion on their status as cinema classics, and instead focus on the quality of the Blu-Ray presentation and extra features included with the releases. All three are well-done 1080p transfers, and gave me a completely new appreciation for the format (in regards to older, low budget horror films). Although the films (in particular Part 1) are still a bit rough-looking due to budget and the technology available at the time they were shot, these transfers really bring new life to the gory goings on at Camp Crystal Lake.

My courtship with 1973’s Terror Circus, a.k.a. Barn Of The Naked Dead, began in 1997, my junior year of high school. I was young and in love with a beautiful girl, Sarah, who would eventually become my wife. We were frolicking around town on one gorgeous Sunday afternoon when I stumbled upon the latest edition of John Stanley’s book Creature Features in some mega-bookstore. Stanley’s compelling description of Circus enchanted me for years to come:
“The humiliation of women reaches an all-time exploitation low in this first-feature effort from director Alan Rudolph, who went on to direct major Hollywood features… This has no redeeming values in depicting depraved Andrew Prine, a desert hermit with a mother fixation who kidnaps stranded women and ties them up in his barn… Out in the toolshed, meanwhile, there’s a mutated monster (caused by Nevada nuclear tests) that likes to break out and kill.

For older horror fans who remember sneaking behind the "special curtain" at the local video joint to see Death staring back at us, it is a special memory. Oh, the number of times I got beaten for sneaking Faces of Death home.
Last month we revealed plans from Red Shirt Pictures in regard to a very special edition DVD of the original Faces of Death. Red Shirt is currently handling the special features while Gorgon Video itself will be distributing the taboo classic to the masses.
But ... when is it going to come out? What better time than around Halloween? How about a few weeks before Samhain? Hell yes! Faces of Death Se will be celebrating its 30-year anniversary on both DVD and Blu-ray on October 7th!
