The Schlock Pit

The home of film critics Matty Budrewicz and Dave Wain who, for the best part of a decade, have parlayed their shared, lifelong obsession with horror, B-movies, and direct-to-video shenanigans into a writing career.

DTV Junkyard 72

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… My last Bournemouth-based horror was on the streets of Boscombe following an all-night bender on Absinthe and Tequila as a snot-nosed student on a weekend away. While K-SHOP certainly didn’t result in a three day hangover, it did lead… Read More DTV Junkyard 72

DTV Junkyard 71

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… As I’m sure you’re all aware by now, I am indeed a post-millennial creature-feature apologist. It’s not something I’m proud of. I have from time to time sought therapy to wean me off this barrel-scraping addiction to such low… Read More DTV Junkyard 71

DTV Junkyard 70

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… A shout for New Zealand horror movies among friends usually elicits a fervent cry from the Jackson-ites for Bad Taste and Braindead, though more recently there’s an increasingly loud shout towards Housebound, Deathgasm and What We Do in the… Read More DTV Junkyard 70

DTV Junkyard 69

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… I must admit that I’ve looked forward to every one of this wave of Frightfest Presents titles.

DTV Junkyard 68

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the final part of Rob Getz’s excellently written review for GHOSTS, or Haunted as it was originally known, for HorrorNews.net. “It isn’t until the final five minutes when the running and screaming and… Read More DTV Junkyard 68

DTV Junkyard 67

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… I really love the arrival of films like CLOWN TOWN, with its virginal IMDb page, untouched by spin, blogger or over-expectant horror folk distraught at how they spent thirty minutes downloading it illegally only to switch it off “’cos… Read More DTV Junkyard 67

DTV Junkyard 66

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… Contrary to opinion, I’m not against the work carried out by DTV-orientated UK film distributors, who, despite my regular rants at the declining quality of their acquisitions, are I’m sure striving to release the best product they can. While… Read More DTV Junkyard 66

Step inside the DTV Junkyard… “It’s genuinely the very best new film that we’ve released” swooned 88 Films this morning over FOOTSOLDIER, the latest movie from fellow East-Midlander Steve Lawson. The cold-hearted cynic among you may be quick with a retort that suggests it… Read More DTV Junkyard 65
