Shivers: Vestron Video Collector’s Series Blu-ray Review
Shivers was a surprisingly entertaining parasite horror movie that is more or less akin to a zombie flick and works really well especially for being a low budget film. It also shows just the greatness of 1970s cinema.

Gothic BD + Screen Caps
Gothic was released in 1986 but might as well have been filmed in the ‘60s with its psychedelic-like filmmaking style which some might find a lot of fun, but I felt was more confusing and even tedious. The performances at least weren’t bad headlined by Natasha Richardson along with respectable production design.
Class of 1999: Collector’s Series BD + Screen Caps
Class of 1999 is cheesy as all hell but an incredibly fun 1980s film (albeit released in 1990) that features a great supporting cast including Malcolm McDowell, Stacy Keach and Pam Grier alongside the young actors who served well in the leads.

Review: Warlock Collection BD + Screen Caps
The Warlock movies are silly and at least in the case of the first two, they embrace their silliness and although the sequel isn’t as good, there’s some entertainment value, but the first is easily the best while the third is, well, better than expected, not that that’s saying much.

Review: The Unholy BD + Screen Caps
The Unholy is an uneven movie with some 1980s supernatural-horror charms but in spite of some spirited, so to speak, performances, this was a rather forgettable film from the era.
Review: Wishmaster Collection BD + Screen Caps
Although 3 out of the 4 movies in these are, well, utter crap, this Wishmaster Collection is a well done addition to the Vestron Collector’s Series and includes some excellent new bonus material for the first film

Review: Parents BD + Screen Caps
Parents is a cult classic of sorts and while the first half was a fantastic satire on 1950s suburbia and had some genuinely creepy moments (no surprise when it comes to Randy Quaid) but it quickly loses steam in the latter half and by the end, I found it unrewarding and didn’t find it quite as funny.
The Lair of the White Worm Blu-ray Review
The Lair of the White Worm is a fun and uber-campy horror-comedy from the 1980s that might not be well written, even for camp, and could’ve used some tightening of the story, yet it’s hard to say it wasn’t at least entertaining.

Review: Return of the Living Dead 3 BD + Screen Caps
Return of the Living Dead 3 is of course a silly horror film with a romantic twist; the performance by a young Melinda Clarke (credited as Mindy Clarke) is fantastic playing a still sexy undead.

Review: C.H.U.D. II BD + Screen Caps
Although I preferred the original C.H.U.D. versus this sequel, there’s still some fun to this campy 1980s comedy-horror that is made to be watched amongst friends.
