3.5/5. Classic 70s horror. Great cast, well shot & directed, good music, great effects & stunts, absolutely bonkers story. Extremely likeable characters. Despite the crazy premise, or maybe BECAUSE of it, I find myself thinking about this one & coming back to it often. Check it out!
#nowshowing in the Nickxcom "What if Jaws, but 'car'" theater, it's:

The Car (1977, Elliot Silverstein).

On Blu-ray from @screamfactory.bsky.social.

There's never a bad time to watch The Car and since my girlfriend has never seen it? It's GO TIME 🚗

3.5/5. I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this one! A true slasher hidden gem. Well shot & directed with a good cast (Sleepaway Camp reunion??), classic slasher story with some unique twists, decent music & some memorable & effective kills & gore. Definitely recommended for slasher fans. Check it out!
#nowshowing in the slasher Saturday theater:

Silent Madness (1984, Simon Nuchtern).

On Blu-ray from @vinsyn.bsky.social with this excellent slipcover! 🕵🏻

I will be watching the 2d version, but this release has both digital 3d & anaglyph versions with glasses!

5/5. What a start to a series! Curse lays down the groundwork for tons & tons of classic Hammer horror that followed. Well shot, well directed, great cast, fantastic sets, good makeup effects & costumes, good music- pretty much the total package. highly recommended
#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater, the one that started it all;

The Curse of Frankenstein (1957, Terence Fisher).

On UHD from Warner Bros.

All Hammer movies are good, and this might be the best? What's YOUR favorite?? 🕵🏻

Let's fucking GO 🍿 💪🏻

3.5/5. Am excellent entry into the "nunsploitation" genre with a bit of a giallo twist. Well shot & directed, good acting & good cast, plenty of sex & nudity, some moments of truly shocking violence- one of which is legit hard to watch. Recommended for exploitation fans & fans of naughty nuns.
#nowshowing in the nunsploitation theater:

Killer Nun (1979, Giulio Berruti).

On Blu-ray from @arrowvideo.bsky.social.

This is another first time watch for me! What better time than a sunny Thursday afternoon to watch some debauchery?? Let's fucking GO 💪🏻🍿💪🏻🍿

3/5. An inconsistent but still very entertaining slasher/comedy that serves as a solid spoof of the genre. Fairly well shot, good cast (Kristen Davis's 1st movie!), goofy story & acting, surprisingly effective gore & effects! This is a hidden gem for sure. Recommended for slasher fans. Check it out!
#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater:

Doom Asylum (1988, Richard Friedman)

I've had this one recommended multiple times, but this is a first time watch for me! Have YOU seen this slasher? 🕵🏻🔪

4/5. An excellent little supernatural slasher. Maybe Galindo Jr's best horror movie? Well shot & directed, good cast, fun story, good music, shockingly good practical effects & gore. Kind of feels like a latter F13, but better (better than 7&8 easily). Recommended for slasher fans!
#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater:

Grave Robbers (1989, Rubén Galindo Jr.).

On Blu-ray with this beautiful slipcover art from @vinsyn.bsky.social.

It hit me suddenly that I never finished the Galindo! Let's fix that, shall we? LFG! 🍿🎥🍿🎥

4.5/5. A masterpiece of splatter AND dream logic horror. Immaculate vibes. Well shot & directed, great cast, extremely unique Lovecraftian story, incredible gore & practical effects. This first entry in Fulci's "Gates of Hell" trilogy is highly recommended for those who like it red and messy
#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater, it's the movie I just can't stop buying!

City of the Living Dead (1980, Lucio Fulci).

On UHD from the always excellent @cauldronfilms.bsky.social.

I will NEVER get sick of this movie. Let's fucking GO!

5/5. One of the definitive horror movies of the 80s & a rare perfect horror comedy that still holds up today. Well shot, directed & acted, with a perfect cast along with some extremely memorable music & excellent practical effects & gore. My highest recommendation. Check it out!

4/5. Excellent entry in the "historical horror" genre- think a grimier exploitation counterpart to Witchfinder General! While not as good as THAT movie, Devil is still well shot & directed with some moments of practical gore & nastiness that still hold up well. Definitely recommended!
#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater:

Mark of the Devil (1970, Michael Armstrong).

On UHD from @vinsyn.bsky.social in this truly beautiful collector's box ❤️👌🏻

Somehow I haven't seen this one before despite seeing Witchfinder General a million times!
