  Endgame 1983

  ★★★½ Watched 10 Jul 2022

  In the post apocalypse, men paint their faces like KISS and fight in a Running Man style game show. The post apocalypse is also hilariously dubbed.

  NightThirst 2002

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Jul 2022

  My 40th Polonia Brothers film.

  And what a great choice it was. An anthology overseen by Jon McBride in the wrap-around segments, John Polonia as a mischievous corpse, and a Christmas story with a dysfunctional version of Mark and Maria's family.

  And I plan to talk about this on a future episode of the only podcast dedicated to the Polonia Brothers: Podlonia with Sunday and Adam.

  A damn near perfect film. This one really held my attention. Lots of in-the-woods-at-night creepiness.

  A perfect horror film.

  I love how this film chooses to show horror. There's no handheld shaky-cam, no flickering strobe lights, no quick cuts. Instead, when something emerges from the shadows, it does so in a well-framed, carefully lit, fixed camera shot. The decision on what is and is not in focus is also made with care. And the use of music…

  Phoenix the Warrior 1988

  ★★★★ Rewatched 15 May 2021

  This is great because it's like a lot of other Mad Max wannabee films from the 80's but it's all women. And while the bulk of other cheesey post-apocalyptic films often had everyone wearing identical outfits consisting of football shoulder pads and leather chaps, these women avoid that fashion faux pas and add some individuality to their wardrobes. And I really appreciate that. It makes the film stand out among its genre and helps give each character a bit of...well,…
