Grindhouse Weekly: ‘Cannibal Ferox’ (1981)


This week in the grindhouse we’ll be exploring one of the darkest and most deplorable sub-genres of exploitation known as the cannibal film. These sick little films were made popular with such entries as Cannibal Holocaust and the film we’re

Grindhouse Weekly: ‘Fritz the Cat’ (1972)


For this entry of Grindhouse Weekly, I wanted to discuss an animated feature and while there certainly aren’t many, they do exist. Of the handful of notable releases, the granddaddy of them all is 1972’s Fritz the Cat. Based on

Grindhouse Weekly: ‘Chopping Mall’ (1986)

It’s no secret that I love films of the 80s.  The birth of VHS paved the way for countless numbers of classic pieces of schlock, and the video boom helped the film industry become as large and prevalent as we know

Grindhouse Weekly: ‘The Exterminator’ (1980)

Grindhouse Weekly: ‘The Exterminator’ (1980)

1980’s The Exterminator is a nasty little revenge thriller from director James Glickenhaus that plays out like a poor man’s Taxi Driver or Rolling Thunder.  It’s doesn’t break new ground in the way of plot, or character development, or anything at all

Grindhouse Weekly: ‘Dolemite’ (1975)

Grindhouse Weekly: ‘Dolemite’ (1975)

When discussing classic 70s blaxpolitation, it would be simply criminal to not include D’Urville Martin’s 1975 classic Dolemite in the conversation.  As a fan of this popular sub genre I feel ashamed that I have not experienced this film until just this week. While

Grindhouse Weekly – ‘Five Fingers of Death’

For our 18th entry in this feature, I decided it was time to discuss a kung fu flick. The 70s brought us an influx of martial arts movies and the market quickly became saturated with dozens of Chinese imported action-fests. Most of
