DTV Junkyard 24

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… I’m a little wary about the beatification of horror folk.

DTV Junkyard 21

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… With our supermarkets laced with campylobacter infected chickens, those bottom-shelf schlock-fests that ooze out undetected into the retail charts should really be the least of our worries. Having said that, it is alarming just how many features barely register… Read More DTV Junkyard 21

DTV Junkyard 20

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead’s first film – Resolution – was nucking futs.

DTV Junkyard 17

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… Oh good, another war-themed zombie movie.
