What is it? Mackenzie (Ella Purnell) is a teen in crisis. Her father has died, and her mother’s addictions have forced her into rehab, so with no other resources she’s sent to stay with an uncle in Alaska for the summer. He shows her kindness, showers her with gifts, and sneaks into her bed at night to do unspeakable things. It may not be the first time, and she knows it won’t be the last, so when the opportunity arises she runs away. Her luck changes when she crosses paths with a hiker named Rene (Bruce Greenwood) in Denali. He wants nothing to do with her at first, but when the two of them end up on the same deserted trail in the park he quietly allows her to join his party of one. What...

One of the perks of backing Vinegar Syndrome’s move into video on demand (the now-launched Exploitation.TV) was a double bill limited edition DVD of Len Anthony’s Murderous Intent and Fright House, offered only to those who, like me, backed the Indiegogo campaign. Now I’d never heard of either movie. But given the fact that – at least of as far the Nerdly team are concerned – Vinegar Syndrome can do no wrong. No matter how obscure or how bizarre the films, there’s always something interesting or intriguing about the titles they choose to release… whether that be sex, violence or (as in the case of these two Len Anthony movies) sheer insanity!

You may have seen recently that Joss Whedon “endorsed“ Mitt Romney for President saying, “You know, like a lot of liberal Americans, I was excited when Barack Obama took office four years ago. But it’s a very different world now. And Mitt Romney is a very different candidate. One with the vision and determination to cut through business-as-usual politics and finally put this country back on the path to the zombie apocalypse.”
Joss Whedon is absolutely right to invoke zombies in a political discussion, because zombies are the most political of monsters. Or to put it another way, Zombie films are the most political of all horror films.

Wait. What?
Let me explain.
Roger Ebert, in his review of Zombieland, wrote about Zombies:
Vampires make a certain amount of sense to me, but zombies not so much. What’s their purpose? Why do they always look so bad? Can...

Writer/director Bill Gunn’s surreal vampire classic Ganja & Hess is finally getting a proper Blu-ray release. A newly remastered edition of the 1973 cult favorite is coming this May from genre-friendly Kino Classics. Originally conceived as another “blaxploitation” film similar in tone to Blacula, the film defied convention (and expectation) with its aggressive ambiguity and dreamlike imagery.
It stars Duane Jones (of Night of the Living Dead fame) as Dr. Hess, an anthropologist who is compelled to drink blood after being cut with an ancient African dagger. Stunning genre actress Marlene Clark (The Beast Must Die!) co-stars as Ganja, the affluent wife of the doctor’s research assistant (played by Gunn).
The resulting film confused critics and audiences alike and was pulled from release after one week in a New York theater. The producers tinkered with the flick, cutting over half an hour and changing the title several times. Throughout its difficult release history,...
