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...
So with Halloween fast approaching what better time could there be to look at the genre which has become one of its most popular mainstays since it’s golden age in the 80’s saw a new slasher film being released on an almost weekly basis, while the 90’s would see it being reinvented to meet the expectations of smarter audiences who’d long become jaded with the...

September saw the LAMB Members heading back to a golden and arguably wilder time for Hollywood as we dedicated the month to Pre-code Hollywood, here’s what they had to say

For September we are heading back to the early days of cinema where during a brief period between the introduction of the first sound pictures in 1929 to the enforcement of the “Motion Picture Production Code” in 1934 there existed an era known as Pre-Code Hollywood. A wild time for cinema as films were produced including profanity, drug use, prostitution, infidelity and abortion, while it also produced films...

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...
