For those who aren’t familiar with the Solomon Kane legend, allow me to enlighten you, albeit super briefly.  Solomon Kane was a character created by a master of the pulp-era fiction Robert Howard, who is the same man responsible for Conan The Barbarian.  Solomon is an adventurer in Puritan times (16th and 17th century)...

Just where does one begin with a film like this… If you’ve seen either Meatball Machine or Tokyo Gore Police then you’ll know what to expect. If not? Well… put it this way, madness and insanity is putting it lightly! Normally I start with an IMDb plot line, but IMDb doesn’t even have one...

Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. is another fine release from Toho.

Hellbinders is a low-budget action/horror crossover flick written, directed, and starred in by martial artists and stuntmen who all have some seriously impressive Hollywood resumes.  Ray Park, who plays the European accented mercenary who now operates in the City of Angels, was Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode 1 and Toad in the first...

Psychedelic Hell Trip begins with some very professional presentation! Not only does it have a cool warbly Country & Western song playing over its menu, but it has some nice extras too! But we’ll get to them at the end. Our trip begins with a good old fashioned celluloid countdown then were in to...

Been a while in between posts for me here on midnight showing, but I assure you I will get up off my lazy ass and write some original material for you supportive guys and gals very soon. In the meantime, there is a short film sweeping the horror and fringe film communities online, and...
