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 32

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… Wikipedia tends to define this weeks’ first two films as ‘natural horror movies’, but I think the term I prefer is undoubtedly ‘nature run amok’. A star-laded slice of Canuxploitation is to come later, but first up is CAMERA… Read More DTV Junkyard 32

DTV Junkyard 31

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… As they did with Unhallowed Ground a few weeks back, Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment once again release another title with ridiculous artwork that bears no resemblance to the events that occur within. On the plus side, by doing so, it… Read More DTV Junkyard 31

DTV Junkyard 30

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… Cwmgwrach, which translates as The Valley of the Witch, is a small Welsh Village outside the town of Port Talbot, which was the subject of a book by local author and retired milkman, Ian Currie. Speaking about his work,… Read More DTV Junkyard 30

DTV Junkyard 29

Dave Wain’s essential breakdown of this week’s cavalcade of straight-to-disc treats. Step inside the DTV Junkyard… The postman cut a somewhat chastened figure this week as he foraged endlessly in his weighty sack for the contents of this weeks’ DTV Junkyard. In contrast to the dearth of direct to video fodder of late, this week… Read More DTV Junkyard 29

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
