The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

Rating: ★★★★

Apr 1, 2003Backwoods Brutality

Director: Tobe Hooper

Actors: Marilyn Burns, Gunnar Hansen, Jim Siedow, Paul A. Partain, …

Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988)

Rating: ★★★

Dec 17, 2013Ancient Egyptian Chainsaw Worshipping Cult

Construed by prolific B movie hack Fred Olen Ray around its two stars - Gunnar Hansen, the original Leatherface, and Scream Queen Linnea Quigley, this hits a perfect note between bimbos, tongue-in-cheek and cheap gore

Director: Fred Olen Ray

Mosquito (1995)

Rating: ★★

Mar 12, 2015Giant Insects

A ridiculously stupid giant bug film, albeit not unentertainingly so. This is a monster movie that has been premised solely on the provision of ridiculous creature effects every few minutes and very little else that one can take seriously beyond that

Director: Gary Jones

Actors: Gunnar Hansen, Steve Dixon, Tim Lovelace, Rachel Loiselle, …

Repligator (1996)

Rating: ★

Feb 25, 2026Experiment Turns Men Into Women

A film about a teleportation experiment that has the unforeseen effect of turning men into woman and then into human-alligator hybrids. We are in extremely bad movie stakes here

Texas Chainsaw (2013)

Rating: ★

Jan 11, 2013Backwoods Brutality

A Texas Chainsaw sequel in 3D with chainsaws and gore coming out at the screen seems the complete antithesis of the raw savagery of the original. The result is like a formulaic modern slasher, while the film is wrecked by a ridiculous reversal of sympathies in the last half

Death House (2017)

Rating: ★

Jun 30, 2019Asylum of Insane Killers Unleashed

This comes with the winning idea of being conceived as a horror version of The Expendables bringing back an amazing line-up of horror actors from principally the 80s. Alas, the film itself as an incoherent mess

Director: B. Harrison Smith

Actors: Cornet Palm, Cody Longo, Dee Wallace, Kane Hodder, …
