[Our thanks to Andrew David Long for the following review.] B-movie fiends, prepare for a campy dose of low budget splatter. Lee Gordon Demarbre's Smash Cut is a loving tribute to the 1960s gore cinema of Herschell Gordon Lewis (who makes a delightful if brief appearance). When failed horror-film auteur Able Whitman (David Hess, who's no stranger to horror flicks) accidentally...

Zombie Politics and Other Late Modern Monstrosities in the Age of Disposability By Jane Anna Gordon and Lewis R. Gordon Monsters of disaster are special kinds of divine warning. They are harbingers of things we do not want to face, of catastrophes, and we fear they will bring such events upon us by coming to us. At present, Americans are fascinated by a particular kind of monstrosity,...

Gordon[2] At present, Americans are fascinated by a particular kind of monstrosity, by vampires and zombies condemned to live an eternity by feeding off the...

... A move to horror is perhaps unsurprising for a writer whose first film name-checked Herschell Gordon Lewis and Dario Argento, and Jennifer's Body betrays on Cody's part a clear understanding of, and affection for, the High School Horror sub-genre. However, the precedent to which Juno owed the most to was Terry Zwigoff's Ghost World (2000) , and once again in Jennifer's Body that film...

... word “End” appeared on screen at the end, I found myself speechless. There is something Herschell Gordon Lewis / John Waters / Roger Corman -ish “trashy” about this movie … there’s plenty of gore and gratuitous sex (the camera literally just goes in on a woman’s bare breasts at one point “just because it can and it’s 3D!”) and lines like the insanely brilliant, “To know death… you...

The man is a master of his craft. From the way he carries himself to his distinctive voice. This is one of his more memorable roles.

Recently I watched the horrible to high heaven remake of The Wizard of Gore . Not even a film with the likes of Crispin Glover, Brad Dourif, Jeffrey Combs and the nakedness of the Suicide Girls, could save this disaster. It just felt like it was made in a serious way, yet most of the actors weren't told that on the set, so you're getting truly hammy performances, which actually save it from being a...
