Drive-in films fans should rejoice, as the Al Adamson/Sam Sherman cult classic ’Nurse Sherri’ has found its way to DVD under the title ’The Possession of Nurse Sherri’. (The title change won’t be that jarring to fans, as the film played [...]

Faust: Love Of The Damned

You know a movie is going to be weird when Jeffrey Combs plays a fairly normal person. ’Faust: Love of the Damned’ is based upon a very violent and bloody comic book, and has yielded a very bloody and violent film. Mark Frost stars as John Jaspers, a [...]
