Prime in the Dustbin: ‘Santa Claus vs The Devil’ (1959)
Santa Claus takes on a demon from hell in a crazed, racist, colorful drug haze in ‘Santa Claus vs The Devil,’ which you should totally show to your kids
Prime in the Dustbin: ‘Maniac’ (1977)
The 1977 action movie, ‘Maniac,’ features a killer with no clear motive, a surly Oliver Reed, and a poncho. Sounds great. It is not.
Prime in the Dustbin: ‘Welcome to Blood City’ (1977)
An example of bad things happening to good movies, ‘Welcome to Blood City’ is a neat little flick that looks like a burnt ViewMaster reel.
Prime in the Dustbin: ‘Madhouse’ (1981)
The 1981 slasher, ‘Madhouse,’ relies on characters doing stupid things, so how can we be upset when they are violently murdered? We can’t.
Prime in the Dustbin: ‘The Cremators’ (1972)
‘The Cremators’ is hiding a fairly decent story beneath its low-budget trappings of fireballs, flashlights, and hippies by a lake.
31 Days of Horror Presents Prime in the Dustbin: ‘Psychophobia’ (1985)
Psychic things happen in ‘Psychophobia,’ some of which might have something to do with the main character’s late husband, but everyone is too dumb to figure it out.
31 Days of Horror Presents Prime in the Dustbin: ‘Blood Beat’ (1983)
A samurai warrior goes on a killing spree in rural Wisconsin and nobody knows why, including the filmmakers, in 1983’s ‘Blood Beat.’
Prime in the Dustbin: ‘Paranormal Farm’ (2017)
Carl Medland’s ‘Paranormal Farm’ begins as a basic ghost hunting documentary, but turns into something quite different by the time it’s over.
Prime in the Dustbin: ‘Night of 1000 Cats’ (1972)
The 1972 movie, Night of 1000 Cats, is one of those exploitation movies that has lessons for the attentive viewer, particularly people who are venturing into the mystical and treacherous world of dating.
Prime in the Dustbin: ‘The Dark’ (1979)
There’s something in ‘The Dark’ and he’s got his laser eyes on the citizens of Los Angeles in this schlockfest from 1979.
Predator in the Dustbin: ‘Robowar’ (1988)
It’s difficult to conceive of a Predator movie without an actual Predator, but that’s exactly what you get in the 1988 Italian action movie, Robowar.
