Five Across the Eyes is a movie we watched a while ago and had no choice, but to discuss it. The movie is a relentless car chase for the duration of the film and we remember all the screams and how loud the movie was while they drive away from an SUV the whole movie....

People are getting killed in New York City by a killer wearing a police uniform. Maniac Cop is just about the perfect movie for Retro Reel. It's got a lot of action, 80's jokes, and an amazing cast of Tom Atkins, Bruce Campbell, and Robert Z'Dar. We've been looking to discuss this movie for a while and were happy to get a chance to watch it. The story was engaging and the actio...

After 25 years, detective Frank Washington teams up with his old partner, Joe Marshall, to investigate a bunch of gang-related deaths.

Although Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance didn't provide the same level of engagement, it was...

Flesh-possessing demons prey on a group of friends traveling to a cabin in the woods. The Evil Dead is a cult classic and long overdue for us to discuss.

After watching Double Down, we knew we were in for a wild ride, but it's hard to describe what happens in this movie and understand Neil Breen's intention. The movie is enjoyable in the sense that there is no cohesion and it's very difficult to ratio...

The movie has a great cast and appears to have an interesting ghost story. Will wa...

The sheriff of a western town wakes up with no memory and awaits a deadly group of outlaws coming to town. Deadly Western is a western action movie from our favorite director, Geno McGahee.

A small Texas town is terrorized by a shark killing all who go in the lake. Bull Shark had a very different tone than what we were expecting from a shark, creature feature movie.

This film isn't a normal shark movie as it focuses on a family dram...

This is a movie that depicts two serial killers filming their murderous rampage and how they torture their victims.

A killer is stalking the staff of a roller skating rink after hours. Death Rink was not what we expected at all. Where we thought the roller skating rink would be killing a bunch of skaters or that a killer would be stalking skaters while they were skating, it's actually the opposite. The rink is closed and the staff is being killed after hours. With a name like Death Rink , we thought we wer...
