If a priest hangs himself in a cemetery, does the zombie apocalypse begin? Mayyyyybeeeeee. More Italian horror from the great Lucio Fulci. The early 80s were a wonderful time to be an Italian filmmaker, because nobody gave a shit if you ripped off everything else that had come before. We'll just be nice and say it was more of an homage to George Romero…
A farmer and his sister run a motel and smoked meats business. The flavor of his meats come from the secret ingredients. The movie felt a lot like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was mostly just disturbing and never really that scary. There were a couple fun parts, but mostly, it never had a clear vision of what it wanted to be. Horror, suspense, and…

There is a special place in my heart for Italian horror films. No matter how bad they are, I have always enjoyed the boldness and cohesiveness with the elements on display. With Stage Fright (a.k.a. Deliria), there is no exception. The story consists of a group of actors rehearsing for their opening of a stage musical performance about a serial killer when an actual…
On his way to Mexico to see the child he didn't know he had, an alcoholic mess of a human stumbles into a small town's yearly tradition of hunting humans. Warren is played by Martin Dingle Wall, a poor man's Kurt Russell/Bill Paxton, who struggles with his alcohol demons throughout the movie. His performance was not bad, and reminded me a bit of Snake…
Suburban life turns deadly when some nut jobs decide to enact their own version of The Purge by sending red letters to the members of a community instructing each person to kill the neighbor in each card.

Initially, the employees try to…
