As a rock and roll comedy, Shock Treatment is an incredible film. When its connection to The Rocky Horror Picture Show is considered, it’s a wonder that the movie is not a household word.

Cinema Fearité Presents ‘Piranha’ – Roger Corman’s Homage To ‘Jaws’
In 1975, the movie world was changed by Steven Spielberg’s summer blockbuster Jaws. And almost immediately, schlock filmmakers started imitating it, hoping some of the success would rub off. And some did. The Jaws clone trend has given us awesome movies like Orca, Tentacles, and even Grizzly. Oh, and Piranha.
Cinema Fearité Presents ‘Fatal Attraction’ – Oscar Bait Slasher And Cautionary Tale For Cheating Husbands
Not long ago, Cinema Fearité dug into the phenomenon of “Oscar Horror” when we took a look at The Silence of the Lambs. Although that movie may be the best example of a modern horror movie going mainstream for the Academy Awards, it certainly isn’t the only one, and we’re not talking about The Shape of Water. Four short years before The Silence of the Lambs brought home the Big Five, Fatal Attraction earned a slew of Oscar nominations of its own.
Cinema Fearité Presents ‘Threads’ – The U.K.’s Answer To ‘The Day After’
Last year, Cinema Fearité dove into The Day After, the 1983 television movie that scared the hell out of an entire nation that was living on the brink of nuclear war. A year after the broadcast of that groundbreaking film, Great Britain came out with their own horrifying vision of the aftermath of an atomic attack. Since we are still, as a country, flirting with the reality of a nuclear incident, it seems like as good a time as any to take a good look at Threads.
Cinema Fearité Presents ‘Liquid Sky’ – An Alien Movie With No Aliens…And Double The Anne Carlisle
For what is ostensibly an alien invasion movie, there is a distinct lack of aliens in Liquid Sky. It helps make it weirder than it already is.
