Warlock Collection

(Leonard Buccellato) 7/25/2017 9:36 AM EDT
I don't know how many times I can say this but these Vestron Video releases are casting a spell on me. As a long-time genre fan, I could never get enough of anything horror related, even after the golden age of horror had begun to wane, and the 80's lurched into the early 90's and the horror scene had begun its slow decline, I was still compelled t...

Free Fire

(Jennifer Broderick) 7/17/2017 4:27 PM EDT
Lionsgate has a history of making captivating films and Free Fire is no different. With Executive Producer, Martin Scorsese one may expect The Godfather, but it isn't.
