4/5. Excellent entry in the series. Beautifully shot, well directed, good cast, good music, fantastic sets and costumes, some actual decent gore (lots of animal bites!). It's always great to see Christopher Lee, he'll always be Dracula to me- simple as. Highly recommended. Check it out!

A smaller set today, but both movies are bangers, even IF the Seven Blu-ray is the insanely cursed Alliance disc (1080i AND 1.78:1 ?!?!?).
My copy of @horrorgeek.bsky.social's book showed up too! 🤙🏻💪🏻🙌🏻

4/5. Unique enough to overcome it's weaker aspects, plus I can't say if I remember anything else quite like it. Well shot & directed, solid cast, unique rape-revenge story, great gore effects, good music, plenty of nudity. Definitely recommended for sci-fi fans or revenge fans. Check it out!
I'm liking it a lot so far! I'm a sucker for revenge movies, and this one's got enough uniqueness to it I'm already sold lol
This is another one I found out about thanks to a hilarious Sick Flicks video from @horrorgeek.bsky.social !

3.5/5. A uniquely Italian take on "Eyes Without a Face". Feels like a late-era Hammer movie, just with nudity and gore. Well directed & decently shot with an interesting story. Kinski is less unhinged here than usual. Recommended for Gothic horror fans and fans of Italian horror. Check it out!
The hand That Feeds the dead
#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater:
The Hand That Feeds the Dead (1974, Sergio Garrone).
On Blu-ray from @fullmoonfeatures.bsky.social.
Going into this one completely blind, but "Gothic horror starring Kinski" ... 🤷🏻♂️
Have any of YOU seen this movie? 🤔

This UHD is truly next-level. I own French & UK DVDs, the unrated Blu-ray & now this UHD, & now I can say with 100% honesty that the movie FINALLY looks good- it's still sickly, grimy and yellow, but it no longer feels like you are watching through dirty wax paper ❤️❤️ 1000% recommend this disc
4.5/5. "Unreliable narrator," the movie. Beautifully shot, well directed, excellent cast, great story, buckets of gore backed up by incredible practical effects. This one is an true pleasure to watch with someone who's never seen it before. Recommended for fellow sickos & gore freaks. Check it out!
Of COURSE @horrorgeek.bsky.social has a "Sick Flicks" for this movie! 😆❤️

2.5/5. Flawed but entertaining little horror film. Well shot, interesting if oddly paced story, great music, surprisingly effective gore. Definitely recommended for those that like micro budget horror! Check it out
It was reaching the point I thought this was legit never going to happen
Lol it's 100% Gates of Hell "stolen valor" 😆
This is another one I found out about through the tireless efforts of @horrorgeek.bsky.social! The Sick Flicks video in question:
Through the fire / gates of hell 2
#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater:
Through the Fire aka The Gates of Hell Part II: Dead Awakening (1989, Gary Marcum).
On Blu-ray from @vinsyn.bsky.social.
I'm a sucker for micro budget horror & this one definitely fits the bill! Let's fucking GO!

Agreed! I legit think it's my favorite of Woo's Hollywood-era stuff (might be recency bias LOL), but it's absolutely my favorite JCVD movie! My girlfriend didn't believe me that it was Wilford Brimley at first lol
Thanks for both of you calling attention to it! Fuck 'em 🤙🏻
4.5/5. Damn near as good as his Hong Kong output, Hard Target absolutely holds up today. Beautifully shot, well directed, tons of great action set-pieces, good music, good cast too. 100% recommended for action fans, John Woo fans, or fans of the Muscles from Brussels. Check it out!
4/5. I don't like this one as much as the previous 3, but it's still a fine 80s supernatural slasher. Well shot & directed, incredible practical effects & gore (John Carl Buechler AND Screaming Mad George?? Insanely blessed). This one comes highly recommended for 80s horror fans. Check it out!
