Film Reviews

CHOMPFEST 2024 CASE NUMBER #100 This is a movie I like to use that noun very loosely when describing this outrageous smelly carcass laying on the shores of the DOA graveyard it could not manage to flounder itself into an open grave.

Film Reviews

CHOMPFEST 2024 After the incredible success of the Steven Spielberg’s Jaws [1975] the animals attack (aka: nature’s revenge/environmental horror) began appearing in every facet all for the b-movie market where low budgets reigned supreme and so bizarre storylines were in abundance.
