C.H.U.D. (1984)
The EOFFTV Review
by Kevin Lyons
23h ago
Time has been kind to Douglas Cheek’s C.H.U.D. First viewed in the 1980s, it seemed disappointing, rather tame in fact compared to some of the other horror and science fiction films made around the same time (C.H.U.D. went into production in the summer of 1983, three years after pre-production work first started, and had a ..read more

Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)
The EOFFTV Review
by Kevin Lyons
3d ago
People often complain, with some justification, that there’s very little originality in film and television these days and hasn’t been for a while. Which makes it all the more galling that film as wildly inventive as Don Coscarelli’s Bubba Ho-Tep, based on the novella of the same name by Joe R. Lonsdale, was so hard ..read more

Hillbillys in a Haunted House (1967)
The EOFFTV Review
by Kevin Lyons
2w ago
A throwback to the old dark house chillers of the 1920, 30s and 40s, the grammatically incorrect Hillbillys in a Haunted House (surely it should be “Hillbillies“?) was the last theatrical film directed by Jean Yarbrough, a prolific if not exactly distinctive director who made 132 films and television episodes in a 35-year career. It ..read more

Revolt of the Zombies (1936)
The EOFFTV Review
by Kevin Lyons
2w ago
From the people who brought you White Zombie (1932) – brothers Victor and Edward Halperin, director and producer respectively – came this sort-of-but-not-really follow-up. It was originally conceived as a legitimate sequel but the rights to the original film got mired in copyright claims and so it became a stand-alone film, although Bela Lugosi’s eyes ..read more

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
The EOFFTV Review

2w ago
The huge success of Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and the subsequent co-opting of alternative Spideys for the live-action Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) helped to ensure a sequel, though a follow-up was already tentatively in development before the first film had been released. In the years following the first film, the idea of ..read more

One Exciting Night (1922)
The EOFFTV Review
by Kevin Lyons
2w ago
D.W. Griffith is one of the great names in cinema history, but a controversial one. He made over 500 films in all, mostly in the silent era and while he certainly innovated many filmmaking techniques and ideas, this is a part of his career that has often been over-played, many of his supposed innovations having ..read more

Killer’s Moon (1978)
The EOFFTV Review
by Kevin Lyons
2w ago
Alan Birkinshaw’s Killer’s Moon is one of the oddest British horror films of the 1970s and then some. The frequently outrageous dialogue was famously written, at least in part and uncredited, by Birkinshaw’s novelist sister Fay Weldon, but Birkinshaw has to take the rap for the bulk of the film’s many problems, thanks to his ..read more

The Disappearance of Flight 412 (1974)
The EOFFTV Review

Ever wondered how to make a dull film about UFOs? Look no further than Jud Taylor’s The Disappearance of Flight 412, a dreary television film that seems more interested in dull men having uninteresting conversations in non-descript rooms than it does in solving the great mysteries of the universe. indeed, it only barely squeaks into ..read more

Encounter in Space (1963)

Original title: Mechte navstrechu In the mid-1960s, Roger Corman picked up the US theatrical distribution rights to three unrelated Russian science fiction films, Nebo Zovyot/The Heavens Beckon (1959), Mechte navstrechu/Encounter in Space (1961) and Planeta Bur/Planet of Storms (1962). Rather than just dub or subtitle them and release them as they stood, he opted instead ..read more

Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2008)
The EOFFTV Review
by Kevin Lyons
3w ago
James Nguyen’s Birdemic: Shock and Terror has earned an unenviable reputation for being one of the worst films ever made, a reputation that’s thoroughly deserved. From the stiff and awkward acting through the lifeless direction to the appalling special effects, this is filmmaking at its most appalling. It is hilariously funny, but was it meant ..read more
