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.

Film Reviews

I’m sure a lot of people remember the old tube box TVs and if the cable wasn’t hooked up then the picture would be “snow.” Poltergeist’s cover art is of a little girl with her hands on the TV with the snow picture. The first time I saw this film I was technically too young,…

Hence it became a grandiose adventure with a bountiful…

Being the offspring of any great legendary parent is always tough, an impossible mountain to climb, the expectations often too grand for most, they find themselves harshly judged, to escape this there are only two options either change one’s last name i.e. Nicholas Cage in connection with the Coppola’s or abandon that field; otherwise, they…
