Talk to enough people and you can find someone willing to call just about anything a classic. In the case of Equinox, that someone is Criterion, which dredged up Jack Woods' God-awful 1970 monster movie and turned it into a two-disc DVD.

What can I say?
This movie was way more entertaining than I figured it would have been...
Decent stop motion, iffy acting, and a decent story line...it really reminds me of something like Evil Dead. Very obviously B-Grade material...but somehow still ...

When I decided to review EQUINOX in its Criterion release I was all hyped up and ready to go. I should have done it then rather than wait until The next day. Why? Because on that morning I learned the sad news of Stan Winston's death at the relatively ...

I saw this movie with my sister as a kid on a creature feature and it freaked us out! I saw it again 25 years later on cable and knew I had to have it! The special effects are dated and hokey and the continuity leaves something to be desired, but what ...

EQUINOX was made by professionals (Jim Danforth) and semi-professionals in the mid 60s for a budget of something like $6500. Dennis Muren later found an independent distributor, Jack Harris who bought it from him, shot extra scenes and released it to ...

Ever since I saw pics in Famous Monsters magazines, I had always wondered when I'd get the chance to see it. I finally saw this movie in the early 80's when late night tv brought it to my living room screen and I could not stop watching this movie, even ...

The first time I saw this was just a couple of years after WKRP IN CINCINNATI went off of the air and I remember how cool I thought it was when I saw that Bonner, the guy who played HERB on WRKP was one of the main actors in this film. They eat Kentucky ...

After almost 4 years we finally have Criterion's DVD release of Equinox.
Dennis Muren & friends ambitious home brewed 16mm special effects showcase that was later revamped and expanded for theatrical release by Schlockmeister Jack Harris & director Jack ...
