Chris LaMartina is a factory. He’s the kind of filmmaker whose influences are firmly rooted in low-budget, video era knowhow, his aesthetic inclinations gleaned from Mom & Pop rental shelves and home-dubbed video cassettes. These essential spirits commingle with the raw blood, sweat and copious amounts of coffee coursing through his veins as he churns out the films of his dreams (and nightmares) at a breakneck pace. He tirelessly endeavors to foster his creative spirit, simultaneously chipping away at multiple projects, using his lunch break (from the day jobbie) to edit his film(s), and continually dreaming up new projects while...

The amped-up analog aficionados over at Lazer Paladin Video have already wowed Videovores with their super-rad package for the Eamon Hardiman splatterpiece PORKCHOP 3D, stuffing their limited video release with groovy 3D glasses, art prints, pins and committing the analog insanity to orange cassettes. They’ve kept up the magnetic momentum and much to LUNCHMEAT’S delight, they’re back once again ready to send fringe film fiends into a frenzy with the utterly outrageous Dustin Mills puppetry-infested mind-melter THE PUPPET MONSTER MASSACRE! LPV is just about set to unleash these slabs of video vindication in three – count ‘em three! – distinctly...

They’re out to celebrate that raw power of DIY authenticity and action, re-animating dusty projects by stitching them together and committing...

This past weekend I sat down with my good buddy and fellow voracious Videovore Earl Kess as we drilled our eyes into the mind-melting mixtape madness that is ZXQL3000 main brain Roelewapper’s RETARD-O-TRON III. Made in league with Robin Bougie’s (s)excellent publication CINEMA SEWER which scours the seedy underbelly of fringe cinema’s underbelly (you read that right!), this third installment of ROTIII arguably transcends the previous two, spewing forth a frothy overload of unbelievable, uncomfortable and at times totally embarrassing clips harvested from the deepest, dankest VHS dungeons and other unnameable appalling archives. Stitching together over an hour and a...

For the Videovores that yearned for that $200 Starter jacket, bulked up with No Fear gear, rocked the mushroom bowl cut like there was no tomorrow and drilled their eyes into those inimitable Magic Eye books countless times, this post is for you. Sure, you had the books, but did you know that there was also a home video version produced for those beloved Magic Eye illusions? Oh, man. There totally was. Get ready for a surge of heady 90s nostalgia as we dive into Magic Eye: The Video! What is that on the cover? An air hockey mallet? Man,...
