Deathstalker (Steven Kostanski, 2025) Review

Find more exploitation reviews here.



I've already eaten all of my good boots.” A cheap-as-chips sword and sorcery franchise that has been dormant since its fourth entry in 1991 has now been resurrected decades later by the director of Psycho Goreman and the rock and roll legend Slash in the form of a movie that begs the question: how many ways are there to destroy a human head?...

V/H/S/Halloween (Various, 2025) Review

Find more horror reviews here.



Enjoy the spooktacular taste. In what has now become an annual October outing for the portmanteau horror franchise, V/H/S takes on the subject of Halloween through six tales filled with gruesome gore and frenzied bursts of terror-fuelled chaos. But as a franchise with a reputation for inconsistent quality, can V/H/S/Halloween stand proud like a jumbo-sized chocolate bar or will it fumble the sugar-coated candy ball?...

Monster: The Ed Gein Story - a quick rant...

Season 3 of Netflix's true crime drama series from Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy has appeared on our screens, and after detailing the life and crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer (season 1) and the Menendez Brothers (season 2), their sights have now been fixed upon the so-called Butcher of Plainfield, Ed Gein.


The excellent first episode suggests a less gaudy and in-your-face tone, something with a splash of relative class (helped in no small part by an excellent performance from Laurie Metcalf as Gein's ultra-religious and overbearing mother) ... but this brief flirtation with taking the material seriously rapidly devolves, to the point that already by episode four Ed Gein is stalking babysitters and chasing two lost hunters through the woods with a screaming chainsaw while wearing a flesh mask, which was most certainly something he never did. Such moments become increasingly common as it becomes crystal clear that hewing close to the horrifying truth is of no real interest to the showmakers...

Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfolds (Fred Olen Ray, 1995) Review

Find more exploitation reviews here.


You know, I have a funny feeling that you're not going to find 'giant woman specialist' in the Yellow Pages.” Think Land of the Giants, but in reverse, and with busty glamour models the size of buildings wrestling their way through Hollywood...

8MM (Joel Schumacher, 1999) Review

Find more movie reviews here.



Not many people have been inside this room.” When a wealthy industrialist dies, his widow discovers a disturbing reel of 8mm film, so she employs a Private Investigator to verify if it's real or fake. Plunged into a downward spiral of depravity, this movie takes the viewer on a Grimm fairytale set during the dying days of the 20th Century just before the World Wide Web was able to spread unlimited perversions on a grand scale...

The Bikini Car Wash Company 2 (Gary Dean Orona, 1993) Review

Find more exploitation reviews here.



Hasn't money always turned you on?” Despite having the character and plot depth of a puddle on a summer's day, 1992's The Bikini Car Wash Company – like a Playboy magazine without the articles – proved to be enough of a hit to deserve a sequel. But how do you expand upon such a meaty concept as bikini girls washing motor vehicles? With lingerie, that's how!...

The Bikini Car Wash Company (Ed Hansen, 1992) Review

Find more exploitation reviews here.



Look at the improperness of your attire, young lady!” There's always been a joke about Playboy magazine from the mouths of those caught red-handed with a copy – “I read it for the articles” (and not for the ladies with their jubblies out) – and yet the publication was known for its quality writing on a whole range of subjects, giving many new writers access to a wider audience. Without those articles, though, what do you have left? And that's kind of what The Bikini Car Wash Company is – Playboy without the articles...
