In the first week of Fucked Up February, we review Gummo, which is Harmony Korine's debut film and a disturbing mashup of what purposeless life looks like in middle America.  In Gummo, residents pass time in their tornado-struck town. While not a traditional horror movie, Gummo is unconventionally scary in that it harbors many disturbing scenes and depicts a lifestyle of giving up or what it...

Notable crime fighter, the White Dragon, bestows the important task of stopping the evil Cobra Khan and his ways of crime to his three young students.

Megaboa absolutely does as Eric Roberts si...

In 1988, a vampire movie was released that differed from every other vampire movie in every way. This movie kept some tropes, but gave way to the inner workings of what it means to potentially turn into a vampire.
