Movie Review: Teenage Catgirls in Heat (1994)

I bought this film years ago when a nearby Blockbuster Video closed (#sorrynotsorryyoucocksuckers) because I thought Joe Bob Briggs did commentary on it. Turns out his little blurb on the cover was as involved as he got in this copy. *sad trombone* But since I’ve adored JBB since his Movie Channel days, I decided to watch it anyway. Let’s just say I was seriously unimpressed.


Teenage Catgirls in Heat is a comedy (Christ, I hope so) brought to us by the Troma Film folks. It opens with an old lady talking to a cat statue moments before she commits suicide. The statue then calls out to all the cats in the area to heed her commands and sacrifice themselves in order for them to become human so they can mate with human men, kill said men, and then give birth to the Great Litter.

Cut over to Ralph, hitching a ride in the back of a pick up truck, and reveling in his new found singlehood. At the height of his happiness a cat darts out in front of the truck. As it swerves, he’s shaken loose and left on the side of the road in the now sudden nighttime (read: shitty blue light filter). Lucky for him the ‘cat’ is now a beautiful naked girl.

Before he gets a chance to talk to her, the neighborhood cat finder, Warren, tears down the road and chases Ralph up a tree. You see, Warren has this homemade radar thing that picks up on cat signals. He assumed the large signal he recently picked up was from a bunch of severed cat heads in Ralph’s back pack.

Movie Review- Amateur Porn Star Killer (2006)

Review By: Rob Sibley

So remember the sequence in Henry: Portrait of a serial killer, they steal a camera and decide to film the their exploits? Imagine an entire film like that. The director once mentioned 8MM the highly underrated gem of a film as an influence. He was interested in the girl in the footage in that film. He was interested in her story. So Shane set out along with Michiko Jimenez to make this film. This film is horrifying, disturbing and disgusting. But it does it all without resorting to gore gags and this certainly IS NOT a torture porn film. This is a sick slice of life. A glimpse into true evil, more troubling then a serial killer in a hockey mask.

It's interesting when you watch a filmmaker mature over a period of about two months. Shane Ryan is currently the most exciting independent filmmaker's around. First the history, I befriended Shane when he was looking for people to review this film. It was impossible to find at the time and I was curious and looking for films that pushed boundaries. I contacted him and he was more then happy to send me a screener of this film.

EXTENDED DIRECTOR’S CUT OF CLIVER BARKER’S “NIGHTBREED” SCHEDULED TO BE RELEASED IN 2014 FROM SCREAM FACTORY!!

Los Angeles, CA August 19, 2013 — Shout! Factory and Morgan Creek Productions officially announced today a strategic distribution alliance to bring Clive Barker’s classic horror film “Nightbreed” extended director’s cut to the home entertainment marketplace in the U.S and Canada and on digital entertainment platforms next year. The announcement was made by Shout! Factory’s founders Richard Foos, Bob Emmer and Garson Foos along with David Robinson, President of Morgan Creek Productions. The news initially broke at Comic-Con 2013, however the agreement formally reached by both parties occurred today.

For years rumors swirled about substantial missing footage from the film.  A fan-driven movement was created (www.OccupyMidian.com) to see the full version of the film restored and re-released, which was not only a more faithful adaptation of Clive Barker’s book “Cabal,” but is what originally he intended “Nightbreed” to be.
