The Unsung Alien Hillbilly Abduction Terror of ‘ALTERED’ (2006)!
Today we cover on of the best but almost never talked about alien abduction films: ALTERED from 2006! Blair Witch Project director Eduardo Sanchez crafted one of the most bonkers tales that pits a gang of numb nut hillbillies against a lone alien that THEY abduct! Filled with crazy gore and practical fx, ‘Altered’ deserves to be released on blu ray and grab a whole new cult following!
Doctor Death (1989), American Cyborg (1993) & Test Tube Baby JESUS!!
Today we cover a couple “trapped on VHS” gems jam packed with mutants, cyborgs & test tube baby puppet monstrosities straight out of the late 80’s/early 90s. DOCTOR DEATH the new VHS release from Black Video & AMERICAN CYBORG: Steel Warrior from 1993 – These two virtually plotless post apocalyptic action gems are a must watch for fans of cyborgs, mutants, explosions and anyone waiting for Jesus to be reborn inside a test tube!
U-Dork Visits the Jungle SET of 1987’s PREDATOR?!
I headed down to Puerta Vallarta and realized that near by was the OG jungle set of one of the greatest action horror sci-fi film of ALL time, 1987’s PREDATOR!! So I got my camo on and headed straight into the jungle to check it out! Come join me as I visit the nostalgic location of one of Arnie’s best movies and talk about just why this 1987 film can NEVER be topped by these new sequels!!!
H.R. GIGER’s Forgotten Cybernetic SLASHER flick: FUTURE KILL!
Straight from the video store days of the 1980s we’re talkin’ a bizarre flick that features those oh so irritating Frat Boys coming face to face with a gang of mutant punks in downtown Austin, Texas!! This “trapped on VHS” ridiculously idiotic GEM is in desperate need of a fancy blu ray restoration!
FUTURE WAR(1997): Jean Claude Van Damme vs. Dinosaur Terminators?!
Today we talk about the “treasures” of the Goodwill Bins: that being ‘FUTURE WAR’ from 1997 a movie so stupid and genius at the same time it must be studied by cinema scholars for years to come. Jean Claude Van Damme rip off, Daniel Berhardt, kicks major Dinosaur booty and goes toe to toe against Robert Z’dar’s T-100 low rent version of “The Terminator” in this gloriously idiotic trashsterpiece. If you enjoy stuff like Tammy and the T-Rex AND the Carnosaur franchise you’ll likely get major kicks out of this crazy little film that needs a blu ray immediately!!
The 90’s Cartoon House Cat Horror of FELIDAE & the BEST Animated Films of ALL Time!
Today we’re talking’ OLD school animated movies and in particular 1994’s insanely under seen cult classic FELIDAE! An insane animated horror film with house cats trying to solve a string of murders and fend off an evil CULT! Plus we talk what are in my opinion the best most bizarre animated feature films of ALL time!! Nostalgia for those 2-D cult classics of the 80’s & 90s!
WEREWOLVES (2024): My FAVORITE Horror Flick of the YEAR?!
Hey I’m back again with a brand spankin’ new review of the creature feature extravaganza ‘WEREWOLVES’ in theaters right now! Are you a fan of films like The Howling, Dog Soldiers, Full Eclipse or even Predator: 2?! If so I think you’re probably gonna dig ‘Werewolves’ just as much as I did! Practical werewolves brought to you by hands on fx mastermind Alec Gillis who worked on ‘Aliens’ (among so many others) and directed by Steven C. Miller who did a sweet flick called ;The Aggression Scale’ from 2012 I’m a BIG fan of too! check it out!
Terminator 2: BIO-FLESH 90s Toy MAYHEM?!
Wow! Now here is a pretty radical little 1990s toy set that completely flew under my damn radar! Yes the 1991 Terminator 2 Bio-flesh Regenerator from Kenner is a real weird and wild one that I wish I would’ve known about way back when. Check out the awesome awesome commercial for this thing!
Let’s all face the facts here as a kid and quite frankly as an adult the greatest thing about ‘The Terminator’ was what was beneath the living flesh (no offense to your “hot bod” Arnold). You can’t have one without the other though and what makes The Terminator’s metal cybernetic skeleton so impressive is the man whose muscle is on the outside.
With this play set you get the best of both worlds and let’s face it one of the coolest things about The Terminator is when parts of this flesh gets blown off so this thing was tailor made for someone like me! This at least to me was back in a time when people were being truly inventive That really peaked “kid curiosity” at the highest levels kudos to Kenner for this one! They just DON’T make ’em like they used to folks!
SUBURBAN COMMANDO (1991) is the GREATEST Hulk Hogan Film EVER?!

Well on the latest episode of the MOVIE MELT Podcast we cover a ridiculous monster movie made the insanely genius mind of Alvaro Passeri, a practical effects wizard who also crafted the incredibly weird Christmas fantasy ‘Fantastic Games’ that I reviewed right here.

It’s also got some crazy ass monster action and totally disgusting practical fx sequences that make this a stand out sci-fi creature feature.
