MY CALL: It’s not awful, but the overall quality has dropped notably from parts 1-2. I’d still call this an entertaining one-watch horror flick. It just lacks the impact of Takashi Shimizu’s hand....

John’s Horror Corner: Unhinged (1982), a forgettable exploitation slasher film.

MY CALL: Don’t see this because it’s good—it’s not. But it is an intriguing horror oddity of the 70s and that alone makes it worth one viewing for completists. MORE MOVIES LIKE Blue Sunshine: For more...

MY CALL: If you have seen other films by John Lechago, you know what you’re in for… a low budget that only stretches its dollar on slimy gore effects and boobage. These movies are cheap and, perhaps,...

John’s Horror Corner: XX (2017), the horror anthology led by women in horror.

John’s Horror Corner: Revenge (2017), a different flavor of revenge movie.
MY CALL: A very well-made addition to the revenge subgenre. It’s nice to see a rape-revenge movie that focuses less on the rape (for its on-screen shock value) and more on the revenge. Tolerably...

MY CALL: Middle-of-the-road, but still entertaining territory. There’s some macabre nudity, necrophilia, an undead baby, mystical carnies and voodoo dolls. I’d call it passable lower budget 80s fare...
