G.O.R.E. Score: Bong of the Dead
Original Release Date: not yet publically available Run Time: 91 minutes Oh, Canada. I will forever be indebted to you, my great Neighbor to the North, for giving the world William Shatner, one of my all-time heroes.

I remember it first manifesting way back when I was in Boy Scouts as a young pre-teen; my troop went on a spelunking expedition to a […]
G.O.R.E. Score: Planet of the Vampires
Original Release Date: October 27, 1965 Run Time: 88 minutes Yes, I realize what the title of this movie is. No, this site hasn’t changed away from all-zombie reviews. Yes, I hate the concept of Twilight just as much as you do. No, this film really isn’t about vampires, but rather creatures that more closely […]
