Back in 2021, Severin Films released a massive box set of the films of Andy Milligan, introducing a whole new audience to films like The Ghastly Ones, Legacy of Blood, Bloodthirsty Butchers, and more! Now, they're back with a new documentary on the life and films of Milligan, and we have all the details, along with a look at the trailer and poster:

From the Press Release: "Severin Films and Monocular Films are immensely proud to reveal the poster and trailer for their latest original documentary, The Degenerate: The Life & Films Of Andy Milligan, which will World Premiere June 11th at the 2025 edition of New York City's Tribeca Film Festival [...]

He was a pioneer of avant-garde theater, trailblazer of early Queer cinema, and remains one of the most divisive talents in exploitation/horror history. But what is the truth behind Andy Milligan and his “depraved, desperate, and damned” (Time Magazine) legacy?...

The Degenerate: The Life and Films of Andy Milligan explores the bile, brutality, and intermittent brilliance of Andy Milligan, a pioneer of avant-garde theater, trailblazer of early Queer cinema, and one of the most divisive talents in exploitation history.

The documentary will premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on June 11.

Severin Films and Monocular Films have released the trailer and poster for the film, directed by Josh Johnson (Rewind This!) and Grayson Tyler Johnson.

Milligan’s low-budget productions — on which he served as writer, director, cinematographer, editor, set decorator, and costume designer and included such cult “classics” as The Ghastly Ones, Bloodthirsty Butchers, Guru The Mad Monk, Torture Dungeon, and The Rats Are Coming! The Werewolves Are Here! — were predominately period melodramas fueled by themes of sadism, incest, and misogyny bathed in bottom-of-the-barrel gore effects, filmed on Staten Island and forever consigned to grindhouse purgatory.

"Follow the guard, find the money." Shout Factory has released a trailer for Castle Falls, an action thriller directed by Swedish action star Dolph Lundgren. This is dropping on VOD in December just in time for the holidays! And remarkably it's not Lundgren's first film he has directed - he has a few others under his belt, including Dolph Lundgren Is the Killing Machine most recently in 2010. Castle Falls is about rival gangs trying to find millions of dollars hidden inside Castle Heights Hospital, which is filled with dynamite and scheduled to be demolished, but first they have to deal with the janitor who found the loot first. It just so happens that this guy is an ex-fighter. "The clock is ticking. Who will seize the cash... and will they get out alive?" Scott Adkins stars with Dolph Lundgren, plus Dave Halls, Kim DeLonghi, Kevin Wayne, Scott Hunter, Robert Berlin,...

Yet another Yeti movie… will this be as abominable as the rest? I joke of course. This abominable-monster-movie is actually anything but; in fact it’s a pretty decent, if low budget, entry into the killer Yeti sub-genre. A genre which has already given us Abominable in 2006, a film that some say is the peak of this particular horror genre; yet one that has been mined a myriad of times over the years – to varying degrees of success. From the 50s and The Abominable Snowman to more recent films like 2008’s Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon.

This time round we’re following a research team who are on a journey to obtain a plant...

"We don't know where this creature is, or what it's doing here!" But we do know it hates humans! Uncork'd Ent. has debuted an official trailer for another new "abominable snowman" violent horror film titled simply Abominable. Not to be confused with last year's animated adventure Abominable, or the 2006 horror film also about the same mythical snow monster, also titled Abominable. This low-budget horror utilizes a man-in-suit monster and super gory practical FX to liven things up. A research team looks to find a rare plant, but stumbles upon clues of a previous expedition, learning that a Yeti creature lurks within the Himalayan mountains and will do anything to protect its terrain. This stars Robert Berlin, Katrina Mattson, Amy Gordon, Brandon Grimes, and John Carlssun. It looks really bad, but maybe kinda fun? Take a look. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Jamaal Burden's Abominable film, direct from...

Abominable! Abominable? Am I describing this film or questioning the ridiculously generic choice of title? Well…

I joke of course. It’s actually the latter. Yes, this abominable film is actually anything but; in fact it’s a pretty decent, if low budget, entry into the killer-Yeti sub-genre. A genre which has already given us one film called Abominable in 2006, a film that she say is the peak of this particular horror genre; yet one that has been mined a myriad of times over the years – to varying degrees of success. From the 50s and The Abominable Snowman to more recent films like 2008′s Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon.

This time round we...

An Illinois man who admitted to murdering a young woman more than 35 years ago as a member of a sadistic group known as the “Ripper Crew” is set to be paroled later this month after serving half his prison sentence, People confirms.

However, the family of that slain young woman, Lorraine “Lorry” Ann Borowski, is vowing to fight the release of her killer, 57-year-old Thomas Kokoraleis, as authorities investigate ways to keep him in custody beyond his parole date.

“The family is on edge and every day they are reliving this nightmare,” attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing the Borowskis,...

Prosecutors allege a strained marriage led an Illinois woman to spike a toddler’s milk bottle with nail polish remover in an attempt to poison the 17-month-old girl that her husband had fathered with another woman.

The child was “a constant reminder of a forbidden relationship,” prosecutors claimed in a court filing, and Andrea Vazquez-Hernandez, 37, allegedly told police she wanted to “punish” her husband and the girl’s mother, reports the Chicago Tribune.

Vazquez-Hernandez is accused of aggravated battery and attempted aggravated battery in connection with the May 2016 incident at the home in Carol Stream, Illinois, that she shared with her husband,...
