Today we bring it back around to an OLD skool Corey Feldman unsung stone cold CLASSIC! 1991’s Boy Scout action thriller EDGE OF HONOR-this forgotten little R-Rated “Amblin-esque” total banger features Feldman in a full on wilderness survival flick along with the iconic Meredith Salenger and Patrick…um..wait…I mean DON Swayze! Set up your tent and light that campfire as we dive deep into the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest!!
What are the greatest wilderness survival flicks of ALL time? I say it’s two relatively forgotten films: SURVIVAL QUEST from 1988 & SURVIVING THE GAME from 1994! These two wild and nasty outdoor fights for survival bring the goods and them some during a time of cinema that looks risks and still felt mysterious & fresh-have you seen these killer forest adventure films?!
Let’s talk about one of the BEST hidden gem creature features of the the 1980s, ‘METAMORPHOSIS: The Alien Factor’ which was originally filmed as the sequel to cult monster classic 1983’s THE DEADLY SPAWN! If you love goopy gory horror dripping with slime then you’ve gotta check this one out!! A “Trapped on VHS” gem that’s just waiting for it’s chance to get it’s tentacles on to a fancy new Blu Ray release!!
I have to give some major props to the BEST imo EVIL killer scarecrow film of all time, NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW (1995)! This ambitious supernatural slasher really goes the gory distance with its ridiculous characters, top notch special fx & super well done gore. I also have to talk about SCARECROWS (1988) which is also one of the best of the genre, even though some people find it underwhelming and dull-I think it’s a total banger What do you think is the best killer scarecrow flick? Let me know!
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!!
Today we talk about the Jim “CHOPPING MALL” Wynorski helmed sequel 976-EVIL 2: THE ASTRAL FACTOR and why it’s even better than the original! The Out of Body Experience has never been so damn cheezy and EVIL! Also we get woo woo and discuss Astral Projection, OBE’s and Lucid Dreaming in the real world. A deep dive episode for those who’re looking to embark on the ultimate journey into the UNKNOWN!
Today we talk about some obscure horror films of the Netherlands and in particular 1992’s THE JOHNSONS! This totally bonkers Dutch horror flick has one of the most convoluted over the top plots of ANY horror film to date! A true forgotten bizarre gem that’s just begging for a sweet blu ray release jam packed with colorful characters, cool fx, piles of garbage, seven killer test tube babies and “menstrual horror” served up only the the way the Dutch can cook it all up!
Today U-Dork covers the ultimate “John Hughes” HORROR flick! From 1989 comes this “trapped on VHS” gem, NIGHT LIFE, one of the best genre mash ups of all time and one of the most unique little teen horror rom coms of all time! This sweet but nasty lil’ gem stars 80s teen heart throb SCOTT GRIMES of CRITTERS fame and a gang of vicious teen bully ZOMBIES who not only wanna eat his flesh but also ruin his love life!! Jam packed with rad practical fx, lotsa gore and ALL the 80s charm this film is totally ripe for the pickin’ to receive a totally def blu ray release from whatever label wants to rule the school of lost but bad ass 1980s horror cult classics!
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!
