4/5. A super enjoyable backwoods slasher, a great return to form for the genre after the glut of self-referential stuff that followed in the wake of Scream, & a time capsule of the early 2000s. Good gore, good music, solid cast, good effects. Definitely recommended. Check it out!

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Wrong Turn (2003, Rob Schmidt) On UHD from #Umbrella One of my favorite horror movies from the early 2000s FINALLY gets the release it deserves. Let's fucking GO!!! 🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

Wrong Turn

3.5/5. Another solid early-80s slasher that's only let down by a lack of gore. Plenty of nudity, good music, some decent kills, solid cast, interesting story. Recommended for slasher fans! Check it out.

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Night School (1981, Ken Hughes) On UHD in this beautiful slipcover from @vinsyn.bsky.social I actually don't THINK I've seen this one before, but a slasher from the Golden Era sounds RIGHT up my alley! LFG πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻 🍿🍿 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

Night School

4.5/5. What a wonderful surprise! I expected a ghost story but I got a heartfelt one about loss, family, racial tension, a few ghosts & a whole lot more. Beautifully shot, great music, really good cast. This feels something like an alternate-universe 80s King movie. 100% recommended, no hesitations.

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: The Lady in White (1988, Frank LaLoggia) On UHD from @vinsyn.bsky.social in this beautiful deluxe set. This is a first-time watch for my girlfriend and I, despite me owning 3 copies! πŸ₯΄ Let's fucking GO 🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

The Lady in White

4/5. Surprisingly entertaining, extremely strange sci-fi horror. Well shot, good cast, very unique story, some nudity & some solid practical effects & kills. I thoroughly enjoy everything Maas has directed & Huub Stapel is a treat, as usual. Would make a great double bill with Amsterdamned

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: The Lift (1983, Dick Maas). On Blu-ray from #BlueUnderground I haven't seen this one before, but I'm positively obsessed with 'Amsterdamned' so I'm VERY excited to check it out! Let's fucking GO 🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

The Lift bluray

4/5. Truly one of the most unhinged revenge movies I've seen. The strange tale of a young (?) man & his neverending feud with a gang of dirtbike neo-nazis. More hanging dongs than naked women, but there's plenty of those too so there's something for everyone! Recommended with content warnings.

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Mad Foxes (1981, Paul Gray) On UHD in this deluxe box from @cauldronfilms.bsky.social It's euro-cult exploitation time! Haven't seen this one yet somehow, but I've been told it's right up my alley. Let's fucking GO 🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

Mad Foxes deluxe UHD box from Cauldron Films

4.5/5. The movie that put Troma on the map, a monument to bad taste, & a defining 80s horror-comedy. This documentary about NJ has it all: tons of nudity, plenty of good gore effects (that actually look BETTER in 4k somehow?), catchy music, weird people working out & fat guys. 100% recommended

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: The Toxic Avenger (1984, Michael Herz & Lloyd Kaufman) UHD from #Troma. I can't wait to see how good (& gross!) this one looks in 4k HDR. Let's fucking GO 🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻☣️☣️ #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

The Toxic Avenger

4/5. One of the defining early slashers & one I've seen about a million times, even IF it's not my favorite. Honestly, I think this one feels like more of a late giallo-slasher hybrid than a straight slasher & that makes it stand out to me because I just don't tire of it. Check it out!

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Prom Night (1980, Paul Lynch) On UHD in this beautiful deluxe box from @synapsefilms.bsky.social. I didn't plan this, but I just realized the same director did this one RIGHT before "Humongous" πŸ˜† Let's fucking GO πŸ’ͺ🏻 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

Prom Night

#TheXFiles posting!! Since it was a million degrees here, I took all 60 Blu-rays out of these Lament-Configuration ass god awful plastic stacker cases, and arranged them chronologically in a small binder. I added both movies in their appropriate spots in the timeline. Maximum efficiency!

3/5. Another solid, middle of the road slasher. Decent cast, interesting premise, some decent kills, plenty of nudity, good music. If you are a fan of Canadian slashers or are looking for an entry that might be a tad off the beaten path, this one's worth checking out!

#nowshowing in the Canuxploitation theater: Humongous (1982, Paul Lynch) On BD from Resen (& what I believe to be a partial & slightly upgraded clone of the long OOP & incredibly expensive Scorpion Releasing disc). Have any of YOU seen this Canadian slasher? 😱 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

Humongous

4.5/5. I think in a world where The Thing didn't exist, The Blob would be the best horror remake. It joins the rare company of The Thing and The Fly in the "remakes that are MUCH better than the originals" too. A practical effects masterpiece, The Blob is just a damn fine film & is 100% recommended

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: The Blob (1988, Chuck Russell) On UHD from @shoutstudios.bsky.social I was heartbroken to read about Chuck's passing, so I figured I would honor him the only way I can. #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

The Blob

3/5. A fairly entertaining late 80s slasher. An interesting story with some actual twists & surprises, some decent music, plenty of nudity, some good gore & kills. If you are a slasher fan, this one's worth checking out! Hide & Go Shriek would make a fantastic double bill with Chopping Mall

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Hide and Go Shriek (1988, Skip Schoolnik) On UHD in this beautiful deluxe box from @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social An 80s slasher I somehow haven't seen??? Let's fix that now, shall we? Let's fucking GO 🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻🍿πŸ’ͺ🏻 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

Hide and Go Shriek

This is a recent re-watch, but still scores 4.5/5. This release from @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social is hands-down the way you want to see this movie. The audio is better, the visuals are LEAGUES better, there's actually subtitles for once, & there's tons of special features & cool physical stuff too.

Student Bodies

3.5/5. Surprisingly solid backwoods slasher that leans more into horror than horror-comedy. Fairly well shot, decent cast, unique story, surprisingly solid practical gore, also some surprisingly catchy music. Definitely worth checking out for slasher fans looking for a "deep cut".
