While many streaming services are shrinking their once vast catalogs of classic films in favor of chasing original content, Tubi is becoming an increasingly attractive option. Although it's a free service, it has a surprisingly well-rounded collection of older films, especially in the horror department. While you may not always be able to find the most recent horror films fresh from their theatrical run (although they do have some newer movies), they have a well-curated selection of offerings that run across several different subgenres. 

It doesn't matter whether you're a fan of zombie films, Italian giallo, slashers, or goofy 1980s horror comedies -- Tubi has you covered. And whether you're a horror movie amateur looking to catch up on some classics or a long-standing fan of the genre hoping to find something a little more obscure, there's plenty to catch your eye here. Dim the lights and make sure you...

The first C.H.U.D became a culturally relevant movie for multiple reasons and against all odds also worked its way into the greater pop culture zeitgeist. I argued that the first movie doesn’t quite stand the test of time a bit ago and while I stand by that, it doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy it either. C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D. is a wild ride of a sequel that certainly didn’t need to exist but is somehow more fun than the predecessor. Its also a better sequel in a franchise that it doesn’t technically exist in! Can’t wait to get into that aspect. Most of you love C.H.U.D. but I’m here to tell you why C.H.U.D. II is a great black sheep that straddles the end of the 80s and start to the 90s. I doubt I’ll sway anyone onto my side of...

Stars: Stacy Hart, Amber Doig-Thorne, Annabella Rich, Charlie Bond, James Hamer-Morton, Matthew Batte, Rose Granger, Dhean Morris, Andrew Spooner | Directed by Charlie Bond, James Hamer-Morton, Paul Cousins, Geoff Harmer, Chris Josty, James Morrissey, James Plumb, Samuel Rush

Virus Detected is a 2025 British horror anthology that delves into the sinister side of technology. The film is structured around a late-night radio show hosted by “Irritable Jo,” portrayed by Stacy Hart. During an intense electrical storm, Jo receives unsettling calls from a mysterious listener sharing eerie tales of electronic devices behaving malevolently. These narratives form the core of the anthology, each exploring a unique technological terror.

The anthology comprises several segments, each helmed by different directors: Mic Drop, is directed by Charlie Bond and James Hamer-Morton; Bad Penny comes from director Paul Cousins. Meanwhile, director Geoff Harmer helms Shock Jock and The Little Ones; and Chris Josty gives us the film’s first tale Virtual Insanity.

Horror streaming channel Nyx UK is set to deliver a packed month of blood-curdling delights this March, including a tribute to the legendary David Cronenberg, a chilling nod to Nosferatu’s 102nd anniversary, and a slate of UK TV premieres. From real-life horrors to cult classics, the channel is gearing up for a month of terror that celebrates both established legends and emerging talent in the genre.

Marking International Women’s Day on March 8, Nyx UK will present the channel premiere of Devanny Pinn’s The Black Mass at 9pm, a harrowing look at the 1978 sorority house attacks committed by Ted Bundy. Pinn’s take on the case shifts the perspective away from the killer, instead focusing on the victims and their horrific ordeal. Following this, at 10:45pm, Nyx will air Luna Wolf’s short film Siren, a psychological horror piece exploring identity and trauma through an unnerving and deeply personal lens.

In addition to Demi Moore taking home a statue for her performance in The Substance, the Screen Actors Guild Awards also celebrated horror in an unexpected way last night.

Prior to Jamie Lee Curtis coming on stage to present an award, the Netflix-streamed live event aired a video package paying tribute to horror’s Scream Queens, featuring clips from a handful of horror movies alongside insights from Curtis, Neve Campbell, and Jenna Ortega.

The video package put the spotlight on classics including Scream, Halloween, Psycho, and A Nightmare on Elm Street, but it also featured clips from deeper cuts including Night of the Demons, Leprechaun, and even Chopping Mall. Other films featured include Poltergeist, Immaculate, Carrie, Friday the 13th, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Next Generation.

“I’ve made my living screaming,” Jamie Lee Curtis says in the video, while also noting that a scene from the original Halloween showcases...

Fall in love with Art the Clown all over again when Damien Leone‘s record-breaking Terrifier 3 streams on Screambox February 14!

If you’re not already subscribed to the Bloody Disgusting-powered horror streaming service, this Screambox Starter Pack highlights ten terrifying titles to tide you over until Terrifier 3.

Project Wolf Hunting

Project Wolf Hunting is a hyper-violent South Korean genre bender that packs action, sci-fi, horror, and thriller aspects into a gory mashup of Con Air, The Raid, and Resident Evil. According to writer-director Kim Hong-Sun, the production went through 2.5 tons of blood — enough to make Art the Clown blush.

The high-octane gorefest is set aboard a cargo ship transporting dangerous convicts who orchestrate an escape attempt against the heavily armed guards. But the fugitives aren’t the most dangerous thing aboard the ship, as below deck there lurks a superhuman killing machine dubbed Alpha.

For more hyper-violence, Screambox has Blood Feast,...

Editor’s Note: This review contains spoilers.

In the world of Companion, technologically manufactured romantic partners are so common that “robo-shaming” has entered the lexicon, lest anyone feel judged for the object of their affection. Getting hooked up with one of these mechanical paramours isn’t unlike setting up an iPhone: Upon delivery, you choose its language, adjust its eye color and voice timbre, and even set its intelligence level. Then, beyond mere facial recognition, you establish a Love Link—a relationship history that forms the basis of your partner’s emotional attachment to you.

This is where writer-director Drew Hancock’s film begins, as Iris (Sophie Thatcher) and Josh (Jack Quaid), playing out their prepackaged “meet cute,” strike up a flirtation in a grocery store, the latter goofily spilling oranges all over the floor, the whole scene feeling like an Albertson’s commercial dreamed up by A.I. The thing is,...

Larry Cohen isn’t really a horror guy, at least not in the same vein as his contemporary filmmakers like Wes Craven, John Carpenter, or Tobe Hooper. Cohen wasn’t even really the same type of director as he wrote almost 3 times as many projects as he directed. What he lacked in quantity for horror movies though, he more than made up for in quality. This quality started with 1974’s It’s Alive and moved through very different types of horror like God Told Me To, The Stuff, and Q the Winged Serpent. The only series of movies he was involved in was his trilogy of It’s Alive movies. While the first two were heavy hitters in terms of themes that were hidden under the guise of creature features, the third one had far less to say but is unfairly seen as less fun. 1987 was a weird year for the man,...

Vision Films has announced that they’ll be giving the creature feature DinoGator, directed by legendary B-movie maker Jim Wynorski, a VOD on January 14th – and with that date just one month away, we’ve gotten our hands on the trailer for the film! You can check it out in the embed above.

DinoGator has the following synopsis: When a gigantic, mutated reptile gets loose in the swampy wilderness, the murky waters suddenly become an all-you-can-eat human buffet! Now the scientist that created the beast, a big-game hunter, and a group of tourists must stop it from devouring the entire comunity. With their numbers dwindling, and the hungry creature closing in, they’ll have to use their wits to avoid becoming its next meal.

The film stars Michael Madsen (Kill Bill), Grace West (Waiting for Dracula), Aaron Groben (Art of the Dead), Lauren Parkinson (Murderbot), Jesse Bernstein (The Rookie), Paul Logan...

1989 was the year director J.R. Bookwalter’s debut feature, the zombie epic The Dead Next Door (which Sam Raimi not-so-secretly had a hand in), made its way out into the world – and it also happens be the year when his follow-up feature, the “dark, splatter-drenched” oddball comic book homage Robot Ninja (watch it Here) was released. Thirty-five years later, Robot Ninja has now received the novelization treatment and the result, Robot Ninja: The Official Novelization by Damien Casey, is now available from Encyclopocalypse Publications! Copies can be purchased at This Link.

Shot in Ohio for $15,000, with David DeCoteau credited as an executive producer, Robot Ninja features cameos by Burt Ward (best known for playing Robin in the ’60s Batman TV series) and legendary scream queen Linnea Quigley and has the following synopsis: Leonard Miller (Michael Todd) is a frustrated artist. His publisher (Burt Ward) and his agent (Mike Shea) are...

Monstrous: Fang & Fur: "Monstrous is a new immersive queer horror experience that combines the worlds of scare attractions and queer nightlife into one thrilling event with so much to experience.

You will meet feral lycan folk who are slowly returning to their human form, hear ghostly stories told around the fire, commune with spirits with the Mystic, and immerse yourself in the haunting melodies of Hannah Gill and her band. If you survive long enough, you just might come face to face with a full fledged werewolf.

Last year, writer/director Justin M. Seaman brought us a sequel to his 1989-set slasher The Barn (check out my review Here, get the movie Here)… and now he’s working on wrapping up the trilogy with a film appropriately titled The Barn Part III! The Barn and The Barn Part II (get that one Here) featured genre icons like Ari Lehman (who played young Jason Voorhees in the original Friday the 13th), legendary scream queen Linnea Quigley, drive-in critic Joe Bob Briggs, Diana Prince (a.k.a. Darcy the Mail Girl), Troma’s own Lloyd Kaufman, and Hellraiser star Doug Bradley. The Barn Part III is also going to feature some familiar faces, as the cast includes Children of the Corn‘s Courtney Gains and Kelli Maroney of Night of the Comet and Chopping Mall!

In case you need a reminder, The Barn told the following story: Its Halloween...

When it comes to cheesy horror movies, there was no decade better than the 1980s. The best films from this era kicked things into absolute hyperdrive as excessive gore, outrageous special effects, and campy, over-the-top performances became the norm. This was a period when filmmakers were experimenting with new types of horror movies as directors paid tribute to classics of the past with incredible homages, carved out new styles that better represented the social and political anxieties of that time, and pushed audiences out of their comfort zone with some truly terrifying films.

The cheesiest horrors of the 1980s included scary slashers that saw serial killers relentlessly pursue their victims, hilarious comedy horrors that featured punk rock brain-eating zombies, or even alien clowns invading Earth. While more serious horrors can make for a terrifying film-viewing experience, when gathered together with a group of friends, a cheesy 1980s horror will usually be the best pick.

Gremlins may have stopped at only 2 movies and a recent animated TV show, but a lot of its imitators went on to make a killing in the sequel market. Sure, we had one offs like Munchies from Roger Corman and Goobers from the mind of Charles Band which should have rightfully stayed one and done but others wanted in on that franchise action. The Gate would have 2 entries as would Hobgoblins. Troll would get a few sequels, kinda, if you want to go down the rabbit hole of strange Italian sequels in name only that are just called that to capitalize on the profits of other movies and Ghoulies would somehow, miraculously, get 4 films although if I’m being honest, I actually enjoy watching that series. Critters also had 4 (initially) but has a much stronger legacy in terms of enjoyment and interesting background including the fact that even though it came out after Gremlins,...

Watching cheesy horror films with friends is a blast as everyone laughs over the films' ridiculous plots. The 1980s was an important decade for horror films where the best, and cheesiest, examples of slasher films and iconic killers were introduced. Many of the cheesiest horror films from the '80s are purposefully comical and pay homage to the greatest creative figures and tropes in horror.

There's comfort found in watching a hair-raising horror movie with others, but a similar community can be just as appreciated for comedy horror films that are beyond ridiculous. Many horror films lack scares but excel in outlandish plots, wild and over-the-top acts of violence, and, especially when it pertains to the '80s, aged special effects. Horror films have yet to wane in popularity, but the genre saw a peak in the '80s.

The decade introduced iconic horror characters and saw a rise in the popularity of slasher films.

Chopping Mall is a cheesy 1980s sci-fi horror movie with fun moments, teenage partying, and deadly laser-firing security robots called Killbots. Re-Animator, a black comedy horror film, follows Dr. Herbert West's experiments with resurrecting the dead, featuring gore and terrifying elements. Brainscan, a science-fiction slasher movie, follows a teen tormented by a video game host urging him to commit real murders, with an early take on virtual reality.

Chopping Mall is remembered as a cheesy yet classic sci-fi horror movie reminiscent of the other films produced at the time. The film follows a group of teens trapped overnight in a mall with deadly laser-firing security robots known as Killbots. Chopping Mall was made in 1986, an era known for its growing horror market, with slasher movies and predictive science fiction becoming signatures of the genre. The film is scary but not terrifying, especially now that the effects have aged, such...

Director K. Asher Levin collaborates with horror icons Barbara Crampton and Lin Shaye in The Possession at Gladstone Manner. The film also features Caylee Cowan, Jesse Metcalf, Charlotte Kirk, and more, promising to create new nightmares that honor Wes Craven. The storyline follows Jamie Black's search for her missing mother at Gladstone Manor, leading to encounters with sinister forces and dark powers.

Director K. Asher Levin will join forces with two icons of horror for his new movie, The Possession at Gladstone Manner. Currently filming in Kansas City, the film stars Barbara Crampton and Lin Shaye, two names that have become synonymous with the horror genre over the decades. In the 1980s, Crampton starred in such films as Re-Animator, From Beyond, and Chopping Mall, while Shayes pedigree goes all the way back to A Nightmare on Elm Street, though more recently she has become known for her role in the Insidious franchise.

In a career that has spanned seven decades, Roger Corman is nothing short of a legend. His influence and impact are almost immeasurable, having mentored or introduced so many prominent filmmakers working today. That doesn’t even touch on how he changed independent cinema or wore multiple hats doing so: director, producer, writer, and actor, to name a few.

With the legend’s passing this weekend, it feels only appropriate to highlight just a handful of the essential Roger Corman horror movies on streaming. This week’s streaming picks celebrate some of the essential works of Roger Corman horror movies, whether he produced, directed, or appeared on screen.

Here’s where you can stream them this week.

Jim Wynorski is a legend in the B-movie world, having racked up over 100 directing credits over the course of his 40+ years of working in the entertainment industry. Among those credits are Chopping Mall, Deathstalker II, The Return of Swamp Thing, Sorority House Massacre II, Hard to Die, Ghoulies IV, Demolition High, Piranhaconda, Sharkansas Women’s Prison Massacre, Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl, and Murderbot – so it’s clear to see why Wynorski was the subject of a documentary back in 2009. The documentary is called Popatopolis, and the folks at Terror Vision have just brought it to Blu-ray for the first time ever! Copies can be ordered at This Link.

Directed by Clay Westervelt, Popatopolis has the following synopsis: Jim Wynorski was the first to cast Traci Lords in mainstream cinema. He directed Heather Locklear in The Return of Swamp Thing. He discovered Jennifer Love Hewitt. Now, the man behind The Bare Wench Project...

Encyclopocalypse Publications and Shout Factory Partner for Chopping Mall Novelization: "In a thrilling development for horror fans and bibliophiles alike, Encyclopocalypse Publications has joined forces with Shout Factory to novelize the cult classic 1986 film Chopping Mall.

As far as I’m concerned, director Jim Wynorski’s 1986 film Chopping Mall (watch it Here) ranks up there as one of the most entertaining horror movies of the ’80s, which is the decade that brought a lot of my favorite horror movies into the world. It’s also a movie that doesn’t seem to get referenced often enough, and doesn’t get as much respect as it deserves – even if James Wan wants to remake it and Shout Factory TV aired it for 24 hours straight on Black Friday. So I’m glad to see that Chopping Mall is getting some love from the folks at Encyclopocalypse Publications, who have announced that they’re teaming up with Shout Factory and author Brian G. Berry for a Chopping Mall novelization!

Written by Wynorski and Steve Mitchell, Chopping Mall has the following synopsis: Some people will kill for a bargain… and...

Lara Parker, who played fan-favorite witch Angelique Bouchard on “Dark Shadows,” has died at 84.

Kathryn Leigh Scott, her co-star on the 1960s gothic soap opera, posted the news to Facebook on Monday.

“I have sad news . . . my beautiful, beloved friend Lara Parker passed away Thursday, October 12. I’m heartbroken, as all of us are who knew and loved her,” Scott wrote.

“She graced our lives with her beauty and talent, and we are all richer for having had her in our lives. Family meant more than anything to Lara, and they have wanted these few days since her passing to themselves. Rest in peace, my cherished friend,” Scott concluded.

The actress died in her sleep at her home in Topanga Canyon, her daughter said.

The series ran on ABC from 1966 to 1971 and spawned several follow-up movies from creator Dan Curtis.

Three horror classics have just landed on the Bloody Disgusting-powered Screambox streaming service, which already is celebrating a massive August that kicked off with the Ghostbusters-inspired Ghastly Brothers.

Richard Attenborough’s Magic (1978) starring Anthony Hopkins and a psychotic ventriloquist dummy is the first of three movies added to Screambox, courtesy of Shout! Factory.

“Written by William Goldman, adapted from the novel he also wrote, Magic revolves around a ventriloquist seeking to renew a relationship with his former high school sweetheart,” Meagan Navarro previously wrote about the classic. “The only problem is that his dummy is the jealous type. That ventriloquist, Corky, is played by Anthony Hopkins. Unlike most killer doll horror movies, Magic favors the psychological, and Hopkins brings intensity to this twisted love story.”

She notes that this movie served as an inspiration for Don Mancini’s original Child’s Play screenplay and is currently celebrating its 45th anniversary!

Shudder is a streaming service that is specifically dedicated to the horror genre, so it’s only fitting that we here on Arrow in the Head should compile a list of the Best Horror Movies on Shudder Right Now. As with all streamers, Shudder has movies that come and go on a regular basis, but if you head over there today here are some of the best movies you can find on the service:

Night Of The Living Dead (1968)

Yes, George A. Romero’s 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead seems to be available on nearly every streaming service there is, and that’s because the movie is in the public domain due to the copyright notice accidentally being left off the film print. When you’re a streaming service that deals specifically with the horror genre, it would be insane if you didn’t have Night of the Living Dead...

Cher is one of the driving forces behind a new horror movie titled Little Bites. The legendary pop culture figure is a music icon thanks to iconic songs from throughout the years including "I Got You Babe," "Believe," and "If I Could Turn Back Time." She is also a major figure in Hollywood, having won an Oscar for her role in 1988's Moonstruck in addition to appearing in a variety of movies including Silkwood, which earned her her first Oscar nomination, Burlesque, and the Mamma Mia! sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Cher and her son Chaz Bono are executive producing a new horror movie titled Little Bites. The project, which will shoot in Los Angeles next month, is being written and directed by rock musician Spider One, the younger brother of House of 1000 Corpses director and musician Rob Zombie. The movie will follow young...

Mother-son duo Cher and Chaz Bono are teaming up to produce Little Bites, an upcoming horror film written and directed by Spider One, per The Hollywood Reporter. The film unites three well-known names from the horror genre: The Nun's Bonnie Aarons, Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street's Heather Langenkamp, and Re-Animator's Barbara Crampton, and also features Bono, Krsy Fox, Lyndsi Larose, Mark Kelly, Elizabeth Caro, and John Sklaroff. Spider One, the singer of Powerman 5000 and Rob Zombie's younger brother, previously collaborated with Bono, Fox, and Larose on the horror flick Bury the Bride.

According to THR, the film "follows Mindy (Fox), a young widow and mother who tries to protect her daughter Alice (Elizabeth Caro) from a flesh eating monster named Agyar (Jon Sklaroff).

The Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead episode of The Black Sheep was Written and Narrated by Andrew Hatfield, Edited by Brandon Nally, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

It’s a rare thing to see a horror series with near complete creative control from one person. Currently, Damien Leone seems to be in the drivers seat for the Terrifier series that we are certain to get more entries in and I’ve talked about the Chucky/Child’s Play series that Don Mancini is the driving force for. There’s also another Don that’s in charge of another important horror series. Don Coscarelli gave us one of the most original and successful independent films of all time with 1979’s Phantasm. He wrote, directed, shot, and edited that first movie with his dad helping produce it and his mom doing costumes, production design,...

Rugged Films Basket Case (1982)

A new episode of the Revisited video series has just been released, and in this one we’re looking back at a movie that some may not consider to be a horror movie, but at the very least it is an “experimental psychological thriller” from a highly respected genre director. The director in question is David Lynch, and the movie we’re talking about today is the 2006 release Inland Empire (get it Here). To revisit Inland Empire with us, check out the video embedded above.

Written and directed by Lynch, Inland Empire tells the following story over the course of its 180 minute running time: Nikki, an actress, takes on a role in a new film, and because her husband is very jealous, her co-star Devon gets a warning not to make any romantic overtures — especially since the characters they play are having an affair. Both actors learn that the project...

Hey all, to go in tandem with JoBlo.com’s 25th Anniversary we are very proud to present to you 80’s Horror Memories, a new weekly doc-series (xxx episodes in all) which just premiered today on our YouTube Channel JoBlo Horror Originals. Feast your retinas on Episode 1 via the embed above and you can expect a new installment to go live every Monday on the channel.

Our first Episode chronicles:

“With the death of disco in 1979 and a demand for change, the 1980s evolved into a neon-soaked totally rad decade held firm together with cans of “Aqua Net” burning a hole in the ozone. Time for free love and hope for peace was over. It was time for a revolution. But with filmmakers, their creative freedoms would lead to explore more areas which haven’t been touched on before. It was the year horror would forever be changed. We’re talking Dressed to Kill,...

The Rawhead Rex episode of Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? was Written by Emilie Black, Narrated by Adam Walton, Edited by Juan Jimenez, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

The 1980s were a period of overabundance in culture and films; it’s a period most remember as being colorful, loud, and filled with bright personalities on television and in film. This is an exaggeration created through media for the sake of a glossy reality being depicted. In fact, the 1980s were very… brown. And Rawhead Rex (watch it Here) is basically the cinematic realization, if that makes sense. Let’s explain this:

Most people remember all the colorful fashion, the flashy looks, the pretty people, and horror films like The Monster Squad, Chopping Mall, and even Evil Dead, which were fairly brightly colored horror films with varying levels of the blood being used.

A new episode of the Revisited video series has just been released, and in this one we’re looking back at the 1987 Sam Raimi classic Evil Dead II (watch it Here)! To revisit Evil Dead II with us, check out the video embedded above.

Directed by Raimi from a screenplay he crafted with Scott Spiegel, Evil Dead II has the following synopsis: After a relaxing cabin vacation doesn’t go as planned, Ash is left with three dead friends, an undead girlfriend and an angry evil spirit on the loose. As nightfall approaches, Ash must prepare to again battle the legions of the damned if he wants to make it to dawn.

The film stars Bruce Campbell, Sarah Berry, Danny Hicks, Kassie Wesley, Richard Domeier, Denise Bixler, John Peaks, Lou Hancock, William Preston Robertson, and Ted Raimi.

The original Swamp Thing is from 1982; it took seven years to get a sequel, a change of director, and a massive shift in tone. If the first one was very 1980s, this one is 1980s to the max! The sequel to Swamp Thing takes the tongue-in-cheek route all the way to the bank. Or at least all the way to the end credits. For a film that cost $3 million, making less than $300,000 at the box office was abysmal. However, looking back at the film now, it’s a fun ride. Is The Return of Swamp Thing (watch it Here) a perfect film? Far from that. Is it a good movie? Debatable. Is it cheesy? 4 brie cheeses out of 5. How much...

A new episode of the Revisited video series went online over the weekend, and with this one we took a look back at one of the most highly regarded horror movies ever made, the 1973 classic The Exorcist (watch it Here)! To find out what we had to say about The Exorcist, check out the video embedded above.

Based on a novel by William Peter Blatty (pick up a copy Here), who also wrote the screenplay, The Exorcist was directed by William Friedkin and tells the following story: One of the most profitable horror movies ever made, this tale of an exorcism is based loosely on actual events. When young Regan starts acting odd — levitating, speaking in tongues — her worried mother seeks medical help, only to hit a dead end. A local priest, however, thinks the girl may be seized by the devil. The priest makes a request to perform an exorcism,...

Back in 1986, director Jim Wynorski brought us the cult classic Chopping Mall (watch it Here, check out our Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? episode on the film Here), which was about the robots that have been tasked with serving as the security guards in a shopping mall going on a killing spree. The original title for that movie was Killbots, and a while back it was announced that Wynorski was going to be directing a new movie called Killbots for Full Moon. It would have nothing to do with Chopping Mall, it was just going to be using that discarded original title. Well, the title plans changed along the way. The Wynorski / Full Moon project is now called Murderbot – and you can watch the trailer in the embed above!

Murderbot is scheduled to be released through the Full Moon Features streaming service on March 31st.

The 1980s were full of robots, lasers, odd fashion choices, and teen films, including the now cult film Chopping Mall (watch it Here). In this 1986 sci-fi film, a group of teenage friends and mall workers end up stuck in the Mall after closing hours when a trio of security robots are deployed for the first time.

In the 80s, anything futuristic or with robots seemed to get greenlit with budgets of varying levels and quality of varying degrees. Some of these films took themselves very seriously, too seriously even. However, Chopping Mall was one of those films with the perfect mixture of low budget, the right talent in front of and behind the cameras, and the right level of seriousness to its content and how it was approached. The film doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it doesn’t go full-on goofy, either. There is a “just right” aspect...

A new episode of the Revisited video series has just arrived online, and in this one we’re looking back at one of my personal all-time favorite movies, the 1990 creature feature Tremors (watch it Here)! To find out what we had to say about Tremors, check out the video embedded above.

Directed by Ron Underwood from a screenplay by Brent Maddock and S. S. Wilson (who also share story credit with Underwood), Tremors has the following synopsis: Handymen Val McKee and Earl Bassett are tired of their dull lives in the small desert town of Perfection, Nevada. But just as the two try to skip town, they happen upon a series of mysterious deaths and a concerned seismologist studying unnatural readings below the ground. With the help of an eccentric couple, the group fights for survival against giant, worm-like monsters hungry for human flesh.

The film stars Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward,...

The impact of George A. Romero’s Dead movies reached far and wide. After 1968’s Night of the Living Dead defined the modern zombie as we know it, 1978’s Dawn of the Dead kick-started zombie cinema in earnest. Not only did it herald a horde of undead movies domestically, the infection spread internationally — although the outbreak took longer to reach some regions than others.

While Italy was first to strike with Lucio Fulci’s Zombie in 1979, Hong Kong wouldn’t get its first zombie movie until two decades later. A zombie film set in a mall, 1998’s Bio Zombie is a direct descendant of Dawn of the Dead. It also draws influence from the original Resident Evil game (which is featured in the film), although the zombie comedy plays more like a Return of the Living Dead sequel by way of early Kevin Smith (think Clerks or Mallrats).
