This Week's TV: Giant Rats, Alien Sex, And Stuart Gordon's Ultimate Horror
Cancel those Fourth of July plans! This is going to be a totally righteous week of science fiction television. First, there's a new Middleman, featuring those Mexican wrestlers we showed you a while back. And then, giant human-eating rats are going to fight environmentalists, to see who rules science TV. There's a new journey into the heart of horror from Reanimator director Stuart Gordon. You've seen Autobots hazing each other, now you can witness a Decpticon initiation. We finally learn exactly what makes "sex-starved aliens" happy, not to mention where Marina Sirtis has been lately. (Those two things have nothing to do with each other, sorry.) Click through for some juicy television listings. More »

Gooey Monsters, Other Dimensions, and (Of Course) Boobies [NSFW]
For those of you who have had the pleasure of watching Stuart Gordon's masterpiece Re-Animator, his 1986 follow-up movie From Beyond is sure to please. It's pretty much the same cast, including a weirdly hot Jeffrey Combs, and is based extremely loosely on an H.P. Lovecraft story. Basically what happens is that a bunch of mad scientists invent a device that "tunes" another dimension, allowing a bunch of sex-crazed beasties into our nice dimension. In this amazing scene, we see what happens to our heroes when first menaced by the other dimension — there is naked-lady action, plus head-chomping. In the scene right after this one (which you'll have to get the DVD to see), the chomped lady becomes a dominatrix who molests the now-zombified Combs. All I can say is this is truly a must-see.

The Most Awesome Transforming Robot Battle In Movie History
A massive battle-robot, piloted by Achilles (Gary Graham) flies up into space, only to get shot in the foot and crash back to Earth, in this amazing sequence from 1989's Robot Jox. Achilles' robot fighter then transforms into a massive tank to take the fight to his Russian attacker's four-legged war-machine. Achilles shoots Alexander's four-legged 'bot in the crotch, but then that same crotch opens to reveal a giant chainsaw, tearing into Achilles' cockpit. This is just one of the amazing scenes from what may be the greatest fighting robot movie of all time. More »

"House of Re-Animator" Is Go, With William H. Macy Starring
At last, proof that Re-Animator 4, also called House of Re-Animator, is definitely in the works. William H. Macy (whom you may have seen in bloodfest Fargo) told press at Sundance that the politically-charged movie — in which a George W. Bush-style prez orders the re-animation of his VP — will definitely be happening. He'll play the president, and horror-satirist Stuart Gordon (who directed the bizarrolicious first Re-Animator) will be helming, working "slowly but surely," Macy said. More »

Re-Animator Flick On Hold Because Zombies Are Way Too Political
My heart is breaking because Jeffrey Combs just told SciFi Wire that we may be waiting a lot longer for the much-anticipated House of Re-Animator, the fourth in the Re-Animator series, and the second to be directed by its anarchist-comedian mastermind, Stuart Gordon. Apparently its political message, about a zombie Vice-President who runs amok, cuts too close to the bone. Studios are wussing out of doing some gory political satire. According to Combs: More »

Must See: Re-Animator
Must-see movies are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.Title: Re-Animator
Date: 1985
Vitals: True goodness equals mad science plus slapsticky grossouts plus Jeffrey Combs in an early, over-the-top performance as crazy Dr. Herbert West, who invents a serum that brings dead bodies back to life. When he's kicked out of med school by a jealous professor, West continues his reanimation in secret - while his old professor builds an army of mind-controlled, undead freaks. Based extremely loosely on an H.P. Lovecraft short story. More »
