Recently the world was saddened by the passing of George A. Romero who despite directing a number of fantastic horror movies, will no doubt forever be remembered as the Godfather of the zombie genre.
Of course zombie movies exsisted before Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” with movies such as “White Zombie” and the Hammer horror “Plague of the Zombies” painting a very different...
“Cult Chops” a monthly feature where each month we look at a different genre of cult cinema as well as key actors and directors who established their legacies directing films from these genres. With the release of the live action adaptation of “Ghost In The Shell” hitting cinemas, this month we were looking at Anime movies.
Here’s what the LAMB community had to say on the...
Unquestionably in the last few years we have seen an explosion in the popularity of anime, be it through the whimsical magic of the films of Studio Ghibli or the directors like Quentin Tarantino recruiting studios such as Production IG to provide animated sequences for “Kill Bill Vol:1” the interest in Japanese animation has really never been higher.
Despite being an industry which in 2014 was valued at around $13.5...

Kicking off a new year of Cult Chops, January was all about “Kaiju Movies” a genre which has given us the likes of Godzilla and Gamera and whose influence can still be felt in the likes of Cloverfield...
So it’s a new year and time to kick off a new season of “Cult Chops” and what better way than starting off with a frequently misunderstood / downplayed genre of movies involving giant monsters waging mass destruction or engaging in monster sized smackdowns.
The term “Kaiju” is a Japanese word that means “Strange Beast” though often translated as monster. Traditionally this word is used for...
So it’s a new month which means its time for a new Cult Chops theme and in November the car is the star as we look at “Carsploitation” movies. Simply put if the car is the main focus of the film, being shot with an over fetishist like eye or it features a large amount of cars being smashed you have a movie from this genre. A mainstay of 70’s and 80’s American and Australian cinema, it faded away...

October was predictably a spooky month for all as we looked at the classic horror stable, the Slasher movie. But who made it through the night and who met their gruesome demise? Now much like finding where your...

August saw the LAMB members head down under to check out the wild world of Ozploitation cinema, here’s what they had to say
Thanks again to everyone for their...
It’s hard to imagine it now but at one point Australia was one of a small group of countries alongside Ethiopia and Iceland which didn’t have a film industry. Infact the only films being made were via studios outside of the country who came over to make classy pictures such as “Walkabout” or “Age of Consent”. Still thanks to the success of these films the Australian government’s eyes to the potential of Australia setting...
This month “Cult Chops” is heading down under to look at the wild and often incredibly strange world of Australian exploitation cinema better known as “Ozploitation”!!
A genre which always existed lurking beneath the surface as it wormed its way in seemingly every sub-genre of cult cinema while bringing with it a very distinctive style of film making as reckless and visionary directors like Brian...
Eco-Horror, Natural Horror, Animals Gone Rogue, Animals Invading the Human Sphere (thanks Jenn), unquestionably it’s a genre which goes by almost as many names as it has found inventive ways to turn pretty much any animal into nightmare fuel.
While you might be mistaken for assuming that this sub-genre came out of the hysteria of the 1950’s where cinema from the time can be seen reflecting the fear of communist invasion or...
