FORCED ENTRY (1973)

Thought you've seen it all? Well, this is one for you sickos (sickos like me, yeah). This is hardcore, people. This $6200 feature directed with grim style by Shaun Costello in 1973 precedes TAXI DRIVER in showing the ugly side of New York City. A demented Vietnam vet (pornstar Harry Rheems sans moustache) spends his time chasing girls and raping them at gun (or knife) point.

Get ready for a mix of porn, horror and--social commentary (OK, Greg, maybe I went too far, but there's some of that in there) that is truly one of a kind. You put it in your DVD player and are automatically transported to the 70's era Grindhouse times, where stuff like this was actually shown in ... (more…)

DIE AND LET LIVE (2006 dir Justin Channell)

Heretic Films DVD

EDITOR'S NOTE: Justin Channell directed his first feature, the vampire comedy RAISING THE STAKES, when he was 16 years old. He directed his second film, DIE AND LET LIVE, the summer before he started college--and it was picked up for distribution by Heretic Films. I was so impressed by the film that I interviewed Justin for my upcoming book, CHEAP SCARES! Low Budget Horror Filmmakers Share Their Secrets. He and his collaborators have real chemistry.



IWC Films, the boys responsible for the low budget horror comedy RAISING THE STAKES, bring us this horror spoof about a teen's plans to impress a girl that backfire on him in ways ... (more…)

In 10 years of hosting and coordinating both the Saints & Sinners Film Festival and the Halloween Horror Picture Show, I've had the joy of viewing works from many Independent Filmmakers the world over. And I have to say that one of my absolute favorites has been Christopher Alan Broadstone. All three of his short films--MY SKIN, SCREAM FOR ME, and HUMAN NO MORE--have been featured at one or more of my festivals. Each film has received rave reviews from the audience. Now in this wonderful package you can own them all and so much more.

Remember when Anchor Bay was the coolest DVD label around, and we'd all anxiously look forward to their latest release announcements? A lot of that luster has vanished in recent years as the company re-packaged and released their best sellers over... and over. and over. How many different editions can one person possibly need of THE EVIL DEAD? The degree of double dipping has been maddening.

But feast your eyes on the packaging for their latest edition of THE WICKER MAN (the great Edward Woodward/Christopher Lee/Britt Ekland classic, not the Nicholas Cage shite). The new CULT CLASSICS FILM SERIES is the coolest thing to come along in a long time, and these are the first DVDs I've ... (more…)
