I have a taste for this sort of dumb ass movie, which is inarguably a guilty pleasure. It was directed by Fred Olen Ray. I have seen several epics by Ray.

It’s one of those top 100 greatest films polls…and this time the genre is horror. Well it is that time of year isn’t it… When the undead get resurrected (and no, I don’t mean Blair this time) and ghoulish fiends lurk the corridors (though that could describe the Tories). I always have two categories for [...]
