Horror of the Blood Monsters
Cinematic recycling doesn't come any more gloriously cheesy than this 1970 Al Adamson drive-in wonder. The director (of DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN and SATAN'S SADISTS fame) and his producer Sam Sherman purchased rights to a caveman fantasy feature from the Philippines that had decent dinosaurs and other...Start your free trial to watch

The Juche Idea
Jim Finn's THE JUCHE IDEA is an uproarious and provocative deconstruction of North Korean propaganda and philosophy. Mixing together eye-popping archival footage with deadpan re-enactments, Finn has created a complex docu-fiction that is equally thought-provoking and entertaining. Translated as "self-reliance," Juche...Start your free trial to watch
