Enter the Clones of Bruce (Lee) and the Crazy Phenomenon known as Bruceploitation

Everyone loves Bruce, and no we are not talking about Campbell. Enter the Clones of Bruce (Lee) examines why this person is much more beloved and why an industry was born after his death.

Headed to Digital Platforms on April 30 & Blu-ray on May 21, 2024

Severin Films and Alamo Drafthouse will soon be playing the award-winning documentary Enter the Clones of Bruce not only on the big screen, but also small.

H.P. Lovecraft’s The Old Ones is Budget Filmmaking At Its Best (And Worst?)

Just what the creative minds behind H.P. Lovecraft’s The Old Ones want to do is to simply honour what makes up one of this author’s tales.

Chad Ferrin is back with another Crappy World Film’s production! In H.P. Lovecraft’s The Old Ones, it’s man versus monster and from what I hear, he’s working on what may be part three of an ongoing series! I can’t wait to see what he has in store in Unspeakable: Beyond the Wall of Sleep. Hopefully, he’ll have a budget for this one, since to imagine H.P. Lovecraft’s Dreamlands is no easy feat! I’ve read a lot of graphic novel adaptations, and I’ll have high expectations for it!

Ultimately, this film honours everything that defines a crazy fever dream that only H.P. Lovecraft can write. While these films do well to honour his imagination, they aren’t inspired from any particular tale. The latest has a slightly serious tone, and when compared to how important Russel Marsh was in H.P. Lovecraft’s The Deep Ones, he gets centre stage. Apparently, he survived the prior events, was dumped at sea and escaped his prison! He didn’t take kindly to being tortured. And now, he’s out to slaughter some Old Ones Die Hard with a Vengeance style! And what’s put together surprisingly makes sense.

Throughout the years, Donnie Yen has played a variety of characters who faced a myriad of challenges and in Polar Rescue, the greatest one is when a loved one disappears. The physical and emotional response is tough, and he definitely goes through the motions and that alone makes watching this movie worth the look.

In this film originally titled Come Back Home, his youngest child is lost somewhere in the wilderness. It’s winter time, and to visit a Tein Lake without a ride is impossible. Also, the parents are having a tough go at dealing with this kid. He’s quite demanding and when De (Yen) disciplines this tyke for a few minutes by locking him in a cabin, the kid decides to sneak out the back window. And when the folks realise he’s gone, they better do everything they can to find him.
