What went wrong with Grindhouse?

Grindhouse brilliantly pays homage to ’70s grindhouse flicks, but an epic 191-minute cut, Tarantino’s dialogue-heavy Death Proof, and uneven pacing left many moviegoers bewildered—no surprise it tanked, even as cult devotees celebrate its raw charm.

Pieces (1982) is a gloriously uncut Italian slasher loaded with chainsaw carnage, surprise kung fu brawls, and enough B-movie charm to keep you laughing and cringing all night long.

I finally tracked down that childhood slasher, The Last Slumber Party, and it’s so gloriously awful—complete with a scrubs-clad killer and a twist ending you have to see to believe.

Maniac (1980)

Dive into William Lustig’s unrated Maniac (1980)—a raw, guerrilla-style slasher so brutally graphic it made Gene Siskel walk out, and still a must-watch cult classic for thrill-seeking horror fans.

Odds and Ends (10/08/09)

It’s my favorite time of year—from Halloween thrills to Christmas cheer (and my birthday!)—and I can’t wait to boost my DVD collection with Halloween 3-D, the next Friday the 13th, and that killer Silent Night, Deadly Night box set!
