Cade: The Tortured Crossing (2023) 4/5 EDIT “As incomprehensible as ever, The Tortured Crossing is a four-star Breen film but would struggle to hit two by any other metric.” – Starburst Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Alligator II: The Mutation (1991) 33% EDIT “[Alligator II: The Mutation is] little more than a retread of the original but with slightly less heart and enthusiasm. Nevertheless, it still provides 90 minutes worth of entertaining nonsense...” – Starburst Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Alligator (1980) 87% EDIT “Alligator is absolute rollercoaster of a movie, full of humour, action, explosions, snappy (no pun intended) dialogue, well-observed characters, many cast members with extremely pleasing faces, and one of the most enjoyably chaotic weddings...” – Starburst Jan 26, 2024 Full Review The Sword and the Claw (1975) 4/5 EDIT “Landing somewhere between Conan the Barbarian and Carry On Up the Jungle, The Sword and the Claw is a swashbuckling romp filled with high-octane sword fights, lo-fi bloodshed and overly dramatic deaths...” – Starburst May 1, 2023 Full Review Walking the Edge (1985) 2/5 EDIT “Things pick up slightly in the last half an hour, but ultimately lead to a flat conclusion that does very little to leave a lasting impression. ” – Starburst Mar 23, 2023 Full Review Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things (1971) 4/5 EDIT “... For fans of the lesser-trodden paths, this one is fun from beginning to end with rarely a dull moment.” – Starburst Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Treasure of the Ninja (1987) 4/5 EDIT “It's one of those wild and completely nonsensical yet utterly charming films that you really need to be in the right frame of mind for but, if you're in that sort of mood, you'll have an absolute blast with it. ” – Starburst Jul 20, 2022 Full Review This is GWAR (2021) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Music documentaries are ten a penny these days, but when you're talking about such a unique band as this – and with plenty of insane footage to accompany the stories – This is Gwar really does stand out amongst all the others as a must-see film.” – Starburst Jul 20, 2022 Full Review The Curious Dr. Humpp (1969) 4/5 EDIT “A meandering plot, schizophrenic direction, awkwardly-dubbed dialogue and a cacophonous soundtrack that swings wildly between upbeat jazz and sinister psychedelic clangs and drones make this perfect for fans of bizarre and obscure oddities. ” – Starburst Jul 18, 2022 Full Review Effects (1980) 2/5 EDIT “Its central idea may well be fairly solid, but any intrigue and tension is pretty much completely eliminated by the unreasonably long amount of time it takes to actually go anywhere.” – Starburst Feb 1, 2022 Full Review Battlefield 2025 (2020) 1/5 EDIT “Battlefield 2025 really can't be recommended to anyone other than those who get a kick out of similar cinematic disasterpieces.” – Starburst Jul 22, 2021 Full Review Sam & Mattie Make a Zombie Movie (2021) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The story of how everything comes together for Sam and Mattie is one of hope, optimism, warmth, friendliness and fun, and the film that emerges from their determination and punk as fuck independent spirit is an absolute scream to witness.” – Starburst Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Sacrilege (2020) 10% 1/5 EDIT “The camera angles, lighting, sound and editing are generally solid enough, and the score by Colin McGinness works tremendously well in places, but the script, plot, performances and overall attention to detail leave a lot to be desired.” – Starburst Mar 9, 2021 Full Review Nail in the Coffin: The Fall and Rise of Vampiro (2019) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Engaging, thoughtful and heartfelt, Nail In The Coffin is a worthy examination of both a legendary figure in the wrestling world and the man behind it.” – Starburst Sep 4, 2020 Full Review Class of 1999 (1990) 63% 8/10 EDIT “Everything about Class Of 1999 screams 1980s, which is no bad thing of course. The fashions, dialogue and soundtrack are almost a perfect snapshot of the era, despite the film being set right at the tail end of the 20th century.” – Starburst Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Leprechaun Returns (2018) 45% 8/10 EDIT “With some riotously inventive kills, a load of silly humour, and a few throwbacks to the original, Returns should please long-time fans of the series and newcomers alike.” – Starburst Dec 10, 2018 Full Review Gremlin (2017) 5/10 EDIT “There are definitely worse things you could do with a spare 90 minutes, but there are millions of better things you could do as well. File under "passes the time, but you wouldn't want to watch it again".” – Starburst Sep 13, 2017 Full Review Blood Diner (1987) 57% 9/10 EDIT “Blood Diner is a hugely entertaining film in its own right.” – Starburst Aug 31, 2017 Full Review Shock Treatment (1981) 43% 10/10 EDIT “While not as well known as Rocky, Shock Treatment features all the hallmarks of Richard O'Brien's madcap genius.” – Starburst Aug 31, 2017 Full Review
