Mark Polonia is back with Cocaine Werewolf. But after Cocaine Bear, Cocaine Cougar, Cocaine Roach and Polonia’s own Cocaine Shark, is there anything new that can be done with the creatures on cocaine genre?

The film opens with a lycanthrope on the prowl in the backwoods of Pennsylvania, first interrupting a Little Red Riding Hood-themed photoshoot then, and more importantly, turning up at the scene of a drug deal gone bad and killing the surviving courier

As this is happening, Jack is on his way to New York via Uber, something that seems a little odd for a rich stockbroker like himself. In any case, he finds himself stuck at a familiar-looking garage with a dead driver, a still-hungry werewolf and a fortune in cocaine. Unfortunately every time he does some,...

In the wake of Cocaine Bear and Cocaine Shark, Cocaine Werewolf is howling our way soon, and we’ve learned this week that the film is getting a Blu-ray release on August 13.

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”

It’s time to revisit the Amityville “franchise’s” most prolific director, Mark Polonia. Thus far we’ve experienced his work on Amityville Death House (famed for its bizarre Spider woman climax) and, more recently, Amityville Exorcism.

Which brings us to Polonia’s third title in the “series”: Amityville Island. Oddly enough this film is something of a spiritual sequel to Exorcism, in that it features brief flashbacks of that film’s lead, Melanie (Marie DeLorenzo). The reveal of that character’s fate is quite grim: in between films Melanie shot up a diner as part of a slate of unexplained murders in Amityville.

Unsurprisingly for these films, Melanie’s actions have very little bearing on Island. There’s a reporter,...

10 ‘Amityville Exorcism’ (2017)

IMDb: 1.8/10 2.1K

Duration: 1h 17m | Genres: Horror | Director: Mark Polonia

Cast: Marie DeLorenzo, Jeff Kirkendall, James Carolus

“Amityville Exorcism,” a 2017 American horror film directed by Mark Polonia, adds a fresh layer of terror to the Amityville Horror franchise.

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”

After an “in name only” outing with Amityville Prison (aka Against The Night), there’s something reassuring about Amityville Exorcism, which delivers exactly what the title suggests.

This is the second outing for director Mark Polonia after Amityville Death House, who swaps out writer John Oak Dalton for “franchise” newcomer Billy D’Amato. Alas, what made Death House an entertaining, albeit uneven, watch – ie: a pair of gonzo sequences – is mostly absent in this film.

Exorcism begins with a typical Amityville set piece in which father Charles Humes (Ken Van Sant) murders his wife and daughters in their home. Polonia and cinematographer Lukas K. Reynolds shoot this sequence in a dream-like fashion: partially in slow motion, with an accentuated heartbeat pounding on the soundtrack.

Thirty years after the infamous ‘Death Farm’ murders in rural Pennsylvania, serial killing is in season once more. A young woman and her friends descend upon the farm to party after discovering that she has inherited the land. But soon after, the strange occurrences and brutal murders begin again…

Who would have thought that over thirty years after the shot-on-video original debuted – made by a group of teenagers out to totally shock and gross out the audience – that we’d be seeing a direct sequel, made with the involvement of one of Splatter Farm‘s original directors? I didn’t. But I’m certainly glad we have!

Penned by frequent Polonia collaborator Jeff Kirkendall, who also appears in the recently...
