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 28

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… I really enjoyed Jon Knautz’ first two feature films; Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer was simply all kinds of fun, a throwback to a different era of horror movies where comedy could be seamlessly integrated into the mix. As TV… Read More DTV Junkyard 28

DTV Junkyard 27

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… Released in 2010 The Ford Brothers’ movie The Dead wowed us with its African setting, while also managing to offer a flesh-eating reminder of classic zombie pictures of old. Unlike the conveyor belt of cash-in’s made during this undead… Read More DTV Junkyard 27

DTV Junkyard 26

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… DTV Junkyard! Forever championing the underdog and the disaffected… and Asylum movies! Actually, since DTV-J began, back in the cold, dark days of January, it’s been largely an Asylum free zone, simply because our UK-based champions of all things… Read More DTV Junkyard 26

DTV Junkyard 25

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… Another week, another Andrew Jones film – but get used to it people, because before the end of the August we’ll see another two shoehorned in to the barely coherent ramblings of DTV Junkyard. I took a look at… Read More DTV Junkyard 25

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. When DIGGING UP THE MARROW played Frightfest last year, the reaction to Adam Green’s bizarre blend of real-life and fantasy was met with waves of orgasmic glee. Being a… Read More DTV Junkyard 24

DTV Junkyard 23

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… FEARnet, the American digital cable television network, probably won’t signal a light bulb of recognition for the majority of our UK readers, but this horror-themed venture which enjoyed an eight year lifespan between 2006 and 2014 did come up… Read More DTV Junkyard 23

DTV Junkyard 22

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 all do – in fact it may be the very reason you’re reading this – whenever you ponder over picking up a horror movie, you gauge the general consensus over at the IMDb external reviews… Read More DTV Junkyard 22

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. Impossible to stick the label of a specific genre on it, this ambiguous piece of art skirted around horror, drama and mystery to both confound and… Read More DTV Junkyard 20
