Shock Cinema Magazine is an essential guide for any fan of bizarre films and videos, and each issue is crammed with movie reviews, interviews and original poster art. Plus, Shock Cinema covers everything a self-respecting film-junkie could possibly desire -- from Cult Movies and Arthouse Oddities, to old fashioned Grindhouse Swill and Underground Obscurities. And whenever I'm not cranking out print reviews, I'll be adding to this on-line offshoot -- with reviews of the weirdest, wildest (and in most cases, barely released) films ever made... Blaxploitation, Sexploitation, Hicksploitation, Demented Art Films, Women In Prison, Horror, Sci-Fi, Porno Weirdness, Drive-In Dreck, Musical Misfires, Mondo Movies, and everything else in between.
