4/5. Not objectively a great movie but subjectively it sure as hell is. Truly a bizarre & unique entry in Fulci's body of work. This one feels like an alternate universe Conan filtered through the lens of a drug trip or fever dream. If you like weird-ass movies or Fulci, this is 100% recommended

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Conquest (1983, Lucio Fulci). On UHD in this beautiful deluxe box from the wizards at @cauldronfilms.bsky.social. This was an absolute must-buy for me! A Fulci ’Conansploitation' movie? A Fulci movie I've never seen? LFG 💪🏻 ⚔️ #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

4.5/5. Wow I did NOT expect this one! Immaculate vibes. What starts out as a somewhat slow slasher turns into something far more sci-fi & psychological. Well shot, solid cast, very unique story, & some good kills too. This one would make a great double bill with 'Dead & Buried'! Check it out!

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Dead Kids aka Strange Behavior (1981, Michael Laughlin) On UHD in this deluxe box from @indicator.bsky.social. I'm not really sure if I've seen this one before, so I'm treating this as a 1st-time watch. Let's fucking GO 🍿💪🏻🍿💪🏻 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmefia

4/5. A true Shockumentary "classic" that retains its gross-out impact to this day. Tons of content warnings abound, but I can recommend this release if you know what you're getting into- it's an absurdly stacked release with tons of special features, a cool collector's box & booklet.

#physicalmedia pickups of the week, today is my birthday (for real! 🎉 ) edition! Another huge week of pickups, both used & new. To say I took advantage of the @vinsyn.bsky.social / @cine-matographe.bsky.social / OCN sale at Barnes & Noble is an understatement 💀 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

4/5. It's almost impossible to describe this movie- is it horror? Horror comedy? Crime? Plain-old exploitation? It's some unholy amalgamation of all of those things & more! Some nudity coupled with some truly incredible (& incredibly disgusting!) practical gore means this is an easy recommendation

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Street Trash (1987, James Muro) On UHD from Lightbulb Film Distribution in this cool VHS box. One of the all-time classics in the bizarre "body melt" subgenre, and a 1st time watch for my girlfriend! Let's fucking GO 🍾🍾 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

3.5/5. A strange, tonally-bizarre slasher/rape-revenge/horror- comedy flick, although it DOES absolutely feel like a Troma movie. Fairly well shot & directed, decent acting, likable main cast, good music, some solid gore effects too. This one is recommended with content warnings!

Happy Mother's Day! #nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Mother's Day (1980, Charles Kaufman). On UHD from @vinsyn.bsky.social. It's a unique one in the theater this morning! Those boys sure do love their mother... Let's fucking GO 🍿💪🏻🍿💪🏻 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

5/5. I'm not sure if The Killer is the best HK action movie or if it's even the best Woo movie, but thr fact remains that it's simply one of the best & most impactful action movies of all time. No matter if you go for the Shout or the Arrow set, you need to see this movie. 100% recommended

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: The Killer (1989, John Woo 🐐) This time, I'm watching on Blu-ray from @arrowvideo.bsky.social, but I've got options! Friends, what's YOUR favorite John Woo or Chow Yun-fat movie? 🕵🏻🕵🏻 Let's fucking GO #filmsky #actionsky #physicalmedka

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Faces of Death (1978, "Conan Le Cilaire") On UHD from @vinsyn.bsky.social in this beautiful VSA case. I haven't seen this one since the days of bootleg VHS tapes, so I'm expecting a major upgrade for this "Video Nasty" #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

4/5. A movie set in a hospital with the worst vibes of all time!This one starts slow, but once it gets going, it REALLY goes all-out! An interesting slasher with a unique story & an insane final act. Some decent kills, some decent gore, some nudity, plenty of sleaze- what more could you ask for?

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: X-Ray aka Hospital Massacre (1981, Boaz Davidson) On UHD from @vinsyn.bsky.social as part of a double pack with Schizoid! I've not seen this one, but Schizoid was fun so I'm sure this one will be too! Let's fucking GO 💪🏻🍿 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

5/5. A tremendously important movie gets one of the best restoration jobs I've ever seen. It's hard to overstate just how much impact this movie had and continues to have on popular culture, but I'm happy to say it holds up incredibly well, and looks and sounds simply unbelievable. 100% recommended

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Alice in Wonderland (1951, Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske & Wilfred Jackson) On UHD from #Disney And yet another monumentally important film gets a much needed UHD. 🎥 Let's fucking GO 🎩 #filmsky #moviesky #animatiom

3.5/5. A solid middle of the road slasher with heavy giallo vibes. This one gets major bonus points for having a really stacked cast, featuring the always-unhinged Klaus Kinski. It also has a fairly giallo-esque story with lots of twists which helps it stand out in the sea of early slashers!

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Schizoid (1980, David Paulson) UHD from @vinsyn.bsky.social with this sick slipcover art! 🎨 I've not seen this one before, but a slasher with a leering Klaus Kinski on the cover sold me. Let's fucking GO! 💪🏻🎥💪🏻🎥 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia #cannon

4/5. Classic Canuxploitation & a great entry in the "stranded in the snow" subgenre. My girlfriend & I both enjoyed this one! Unique story with plenty of surprises & suspense, good acting, well shot & directed, good music. This would make a great double bill with the Shining or Wrong Turn 4!

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Ghostkeeper (1981, James Makichuk) On Blu-ray from Canadian International Pictures. I've not seen this one before, but I've constantly had it recommended & I'm excited to finally watch! Let's fucking GO #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia #ohcanada

4/5. A no-budget regional horror classic that's about 100x more entertaining than it has any right to be. Decent music, a fun story, classic cheesy acting, some surprisingly solid gore & plenty of nudity means that Night Beast ranks fairly high up on my "comfort horror movie" list. Check it out!

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Nightbeast (1982, Don Dohler) On Blu-ray from @vinsyn.bsky.social with this sick alt-art slipcover. I do LOVE me some microbudget regional horror, and Nightbeast maybe the apotheosis of that. Let's fucking GO! #filmsky #horrorsky #phyeicalmedia

4.5/5. A damn fine thriller & I actually think I like this one MORE now than when I saw it in theaters over 20 years ago. Really well shot in some beautiful locations, incredible cast, good music & a great suspenseful story with some fantastic twists & turns. Skeleton Key is highly recommended.

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: The Skeleton Key (2005, Iain Softley) On Blu-ray from @imprintfilms.bsky.social in this beautiful side-loading case. Have any of YOU seen this wonderful slice of bayou-horror? 🐊🐊🐢🐢🐸 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

#physicalmedia pickups, "I forgot to post these yesterday" edition Subscription box from @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social along with tons of stuff from @arrowvideo.bsky.social @severinfilms.bsky.social & some big releases from @vinsyn.bsky.social too! #filmsky #horrorsky

You guys look at what @88films.bsky.social just announced!! It's FINALLY happening and I couldn't be happier 😭🤯 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia #catIII

5/5. Hail to the king (queen? 🤔) - A perfect movie about a perfect organism deserves a perfect score. Alien remains incredible to this day & is in my top 10 movies of all time. I have nothing bad to say about this one at all, & with the laserdisc & DVD audio, it's now the perfect way to watch it.

#nowshowing in the "Alien Day" theater: Alien (1979, Ridley Scott) UHD for illustrative purposes - I'm watching on Plex because a very good friend provided me with the superior Laserdisc audio 💿📀 Friends, what is YOUR favorite movie in the franchise? #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

4.5/5. MAYBE not as good as the first, but this is a damn fine horror sequel- helped greatly by the returning cast. Very well shot & directed, truly incredible practical effects, great cast & story, legitimately creepy antagonist, as many spooky skeletons as you could ever want. Check it out!!

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986, Brian Gibson) On UHD in this absolutely stunning Mediabook from @wickedvision.bsky.social. I've always loved this movie, but my girlfriend has never seen it- let's fix that! #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

4/5. An extremely entertaining entry in the "tough teacher" subgenre. Insanely stacked cast, well directed, really good music & a good story with a great final act make this one an easy recommendation for action fans

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: The Substitute (1996, Robert Mandel). On UHD from @lionsgate.com as part of their "Vestron Video" series. Haven't seen this one in a long, long time! Friends have any of YOU seen this action/thriller? 🧐 #filmsky #actionsky #physicalmedia

3.5/5. My least favorite, but another solid entry in the Blind Dead series! This one might have less blood, gore & nudity than the others, but it makes up for it in impeccable vibes & a really unique spooky atmosphere & setting. If you like the others, you owe it to yourself to check this one out!

#nowshowing in the theater The Ghost Galleon (1974, Amando de Ossorio). On UHD from #BizarroReleasing Let's set sail in search of zombie Templars in this, the third entry in the "Blind Dead" series! Do I dare hold out hope for the other 3 to get UHDs as well? #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

4/5. Frankehooker is a blast! I'm not sure if it's my favorite Henenlotter, but it's up there for sure, & it's one of the few horror comedies my girlfriend & I both enjoy. Well shot & acted, with a good cast, great music, some fun effects & tons of nudity - this is another one I heartily recommend!

Wanna date? #nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Frankenhooker (1990, Frank Henenlotter). On UHD in this beautiful deluxe box from @synapsefilms.bsky.social. I LOVE this movie, and I can't wait to see it in 4k HDR Let's fucking GO 💪🏻🍿 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

Another great week of #physicalmedia pickups! Tons from basically everyone including @kinolorber.com @imprintfilms.bsky.social @shoutstudios.bsky.social #darkforce #umbrella @wickedvision.bsky.social #lightbulb & more! #filmsky #horrorsky

My collection of movies & merch for the "X" trilogy from Ti West. Just picked up the X Mediabook this morning You MIGHT say I enjoy these movies lol 🫠 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia #horrorbooks

3.5/5. A decently entertaining late 80s sci-fi horror creature feature. Solid cast, good music, interesting story. This one is a bit slow getting started but has a great final act with plenty of decent practical effects & gore. "Insect" would make a great double bill with "Slugs" or "Leviathan"!

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Blue Monkey aka Insect (1987, William Fruet). On UHD with this kick ass slipcover from #darkforceentertainment I bought this one completely blind, but I'm a Steve Railsback fan so I know I'll enjoy it. Let's fucking GO 🍿💪🏻 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

In case you had any question where I align politically. Conservatives can get fucked 💅🏻

5/5. A monumentally important movie & one that still holds up fine today. It's crazy to me that Craven had such an impact in horror across so many decades! Well shot & directed, good effects & gore, good music. It's hard to overstate just how influential this one still is. 100% recommended.

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Scream (1996, Wes Craven) UHD from @paramountpictures.bsky.social as part of the "Original Trilogy" 4k box set (I also bought the remastered BD to add to the set). I would like to knock out the OT before the 4k for 4 drops!🔪 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

3/5. Cheesy as heck but still extremely entertaining. Think "40s/50s giant creature" flick meets "70s exploitation". Cheesy effects, goofy story, classic overacting, some nudity. This one is definitely recommended for anyone who likes cheesy movies or giant monster stuff. Check it out!

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: The Giant Spider Invasion (1975, Bill Rebane). On UHD from #darkforceentertainment Haven't seen this one in a LONG time, but a fresh UHD release is as good an excuse as any! Let's fucking GO 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️ #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

4/5. The weakest of the series, but my GF & I still enjoyed this one immensely, although she was very frustrated about the ambiguous ending. VERY unique story, good cast, well directed & shot, good music, decent effects & CG. Recommended for Phantasm fans that want to see it through to the very end.

#nowshowing in the Nickxcom theater: Phantasm; Ravager (2016, David Hartman). On Blu-ray from @arrowvideo.bsky.social as part of their "Phantasm The Complete Collection". Time to put this incredible franchise to bed- let's fucking GO 💪🏻🍿🍿💪🏻 #filmsky #horrorsky #physicalmedia

#physicalmedia pickups of the week Another great haul, with stuff from @secondsightfilms.bsky.social @gkids.com @imprintfilms.bsky.social @severinfilms.bsky.social #turbine, @kinolorber.com @arrowvideo.bsky.social @criterion.bsky.social @funimation.bsky.social & more! #filmsky #horrorsky #anime

4/5. Another fantastic entry, although my girlfriend said at the end: "I'm even more confused now!". Thank God she doesn't have to wait 20 years for the sequel like I had to lol. Well shot & directed, great gore & effects, good story, good music. Absolutely recommended for Phantasm fans!
