The Curator of Schlock #25: Savage Streets
The Curator of Schlock #25 by Jeffrey Shuster Savage Streets (Linda Blair has awesome big hair!) What’s this? A female vigilante? That’s right, everyone.

The Curator of Schlock #23: Fighting Back
The Curator of Schlock #23 by Jeffrey Shuster Fighting Back … Against Insomnia Yawn. All vigilante movies aren’t created equal.

The Curator of Schlock #19: The Santa Trap
The Curator of Schlock #19 by Jeffrey Shuster What is Stacy Keach doing in a made-for-TV Christmas movie?
