Blogging about my passion
I mostly enjoy writing about films that fit into the category „Cult“ in one way or another. It‘s, frankly, where my comfort zone lies. It would be easy to just focus on horror films (by far the most films labeled „Cult“ are horror films) but the category also includes so many films that are really un-classifiable. Many of these movies are so truly enjoyable and you don‘t even know exactly why. These are often films that are considered very poor, very cheap, very amateurish and some are just plain old studio films that got panned or performed very poorly when released. This is the stuff I like to write about and I hope you like reading about.
Inside an isolated airport, a group of people learn that their charter flight has been grounded. Things don’t get any better when two guards escort convicted murderer Jack to the premises after their car skidded off the road.

In Parmistan there a terrible game is played regularly and anyone who comes there must enter. It’s a game of survival and death where no outsider has won the game for over 900 years.
Rock star Vince Raven returns to his old homestead for the first time in ages along with his producer/girlfriend Sandra and a few friends/co-workers to shoot a gothic styled music video.
Alice Cooper has got a great screen presence in “Monster Dog”…
One of the most notorious serial killers in history was the subject of this two part miniseries that aired in May 1986. A big part of the movie’s success is thanks to Mark Harmon’s alarmingly good performance as Bundy. The relaxed runtime also helps in showing just how much ground Bundy covered…
High school underdog Hoax fills up the idle hours in his seedy little hometown fending of the local leather-jacketed thugs, avoiding his overbearing mother Lucy and dreaming of a date with trailer park temptress Suzie. But his quietly desperate life takes a terrifying turn when his cousin Spike introduces him to an unusual new hobby…
