Ben Nagy reviews ‘Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter’: ย Son of God Learns Lucha, Saves Ottawa
After the disappointment I felt from the last flick I reviewed in which an Easter Bunny-headed killer was supposed to chain-saw people and collect eyeballs of his victims in the basket he was carrying, (if the dang DVD cover hadnโt been LYING to me), there was a gaping maw, nay, a yearning for something inside […]
Ben Nagy reviews ‘Easter Bunny Massacre’: Deceived by Cover Expectations, Yolkโs on Him
Do NOT judge a DVD by its cover. Iโm old enough to know that, but I did it anyway, even at my advancing age. There it was, sitting on the third shelf at the local Wally World for $9.96 on the end cap. A weird bunny-headed killer WITH a chainsaw on the front of the […]
Ben Nagy reviews ‘The Devil’s Tomb’: It’s not Satan, but it’s pretty close
I can tell that Iโm getting old because I got a late start on celebrating Henry Rollins Day this year, and so this review is more than a week late to mark the holiday proper, but since Iโve been a fan for something like 30 years back when Beavis and Butthead said he looked like […]
The Last Drive-In | Heartbreak Trailer Park
As always, T.J. Denton (@TDenton_1138 on Twitter) is responsible for the art! At the Heartbreak Trailer Park, you get it all โฆ and you donโt even have to spend any of the estimated $13.29 billion that folks dump into the economy for Valentineโs Day. Well, that is, UNLESS your Shudder subscription ended up needing to […]
Ben Nagy reviews ‘Carnivorous’: New widower draws crummy pictures with voodoo Sharpie to unleash serpent of vengeance
This week, I checked out a rapper-fighting-a-giant-snake flick, and no โฆ it was not Anaconda or any of its four sequels. But before I get into the flick I watched, letโs process something. The 1997 flick starring J.Lo (then known by her Christian name of Jennifer Lopez), Ice Cube, Angelina Jolieโs dad (who, as all […]
Ben Nagy reviews ‘Thunderbolt Fist’: Hero and cousin fight extortionists exploiting the local ginseng industry
One of the toughest kind of flicks to review is the kung fu flick and thatโs because Bruce Lee went and wrecked the curve back in 1973 when he did Enter the Dragon. It was such a cultural touchstone that a cottage industry even sprouted up in the mid- to late 1970s of just movies […]

Ben Nagy reviews ‘Absurd’: 40 years ago, Joe Bob reviewed the original, but he never got around to the sequel
Two score years and four or so ex-wives ago, Joe Bob Briggs brought forth upon the city of Dallas, a new column, conceived at one of the finest drive-in theaters in Dallas or Tarrant County, and dedicated to the oath that we believe in the three Bโs, will party like jungle animals and then boogie […]
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 Yearโs 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 donโt 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)
Thereโs no way I can top Joe Bobโs rant about Satanism and the Devil that he unleashed when The Last Drive-In showed House of the Devil during Season Uno, so Iโm just going to leave this link right here (courtesy of our good friends at Shudder) so that everybody can refresh their memories about how […]
