Ben Nagy reviews ‘House’ and ‘Uninvited’: A shameless attempt to get along with the cat people in the new year
Before I get into how my movie selections ruined New Year’s Eve, I have to set the stage. At least two people in my house are CAT PEOPLE. We are not talking about Nastassja Kinski and Malcolm McDowell, so I don’t have to worry about any kind of transformations where they get all fired up, […]
Ben Nagy reviews ‘House of Salem’: U.K. Satanists into sickles, sheep and sensory deprivation (not necessarily in that order)
There’s no way I can top Joe Bob’s rant about Satanism and the Devil that he unleashed when The Last Drive-In showed House of the Devil during Season Uno, so I’m just going to leave this link right here (courtesy of our good friends at Shudder) so that everybody can refresh their memories about how […]
Ben Nagy reviews ‘Anna and the Apocalypse’: Romantic teen-zombie-musical from U.K. oozes charm and guts
A superflu pandemic that started in the U.S. ends up resurrecting the dead and a plucky group of high schoolers who have a tendency to bust out into song tries to cope with their rotten and stinky new world in Anna and the Apocalypse. This flick takes place in Great Britain because the steering wheel’s […]
The Last Drive-In | Joe Bob Ruins Christmas
As the opening holiday rant before Joe Bob ruined Christmas (again) made clear, there’s always room at the Last Drive-In’s inn (or screen if you wanna get technical about it). The big question is whether it’s a room where you wanna spend some quality time when Joe Bob Ruins Christmas. One Christmas you might get […]
Ben Nagy reviews “Night of the Demon”: We Bag a Great One as Our Annual Search Concludes
It has the pacing, soundtrack and docu-feel of a 1970s made-for-TV movie or Charles B. Pierce’s two classics The Town That Dreaded Sundown and The Legend of Boggy Creek, but just a couple minutes into Night of the Demon after a guy gets his arm torn off at the shoulder and staggers around clutching some […]
Ben Nagy reviews ‘The Big F’: Single, White-Haired Missing Link, Recently Freed From Cellar, Looking for Mate
An unconventional-looking Bigfoot is trying to find the perfect love match in the suburbs on Valentine’s Day in the 2016 flick “The Big F.”
Ben Nagy reviews ‘Suburban Sasquatch’: If You Are Ready to Challenge Your Beliefs in Bigfoot, Only a Select Few Can Stand It
The next two flicks I’m looking at as our Bigfoot Month lumbers on to a chilly conclusion take the big guy out of his natural habitat. Yep, Sasquatch sometimes is compelled to take a hike from the peace and idyllic tranquility of his forested bower because he needs to remind himself why he stays away […]
Ben Nagy reviews ‘Bigfoot vs. Zombies’: Shorty Sasquatch rumbles with reanimated corpses
The second foray into our now-annual Bigfoot flick quest this year coincidentally finds us looking eastward again in the NewYork-avania area (judging by the license plates on the vehicles) for the big, stinky, hairy hulk of a creature except this time he’s hanging out in the woods outside a (fictional) body farm in Wyoming County, […]
Ben Nagy Reviews ‘Monstrous’: If You Wanna Get Technical, the REAL Monstrous Thing Here is a Lack of Bigfoot
By real popular demand, we’re doing the Second Annual Hunt for the Best Bigfoot Movie and the first flick up is 2020’s “Monstrous.”
The Last Drive-In | The Walkin Dead special
Like that sappy power ballad from three, going on four, decades ago says, we won’t know what we got till it’s gone. Because a bit more than 11 years ago, the Walking Dead TV show lurched on the scene, making the horror of cannibalistic reanimated corpses eating folks in Georgia as mainstream as it’d ever […]
