Critter peeps, I'm happy to say we've got quite the Streaming bonanza today. Have you all heard about the PARAMOUNT VAULT channel (HERE) that just popped up on our beloved YouTube? It's a brand new joint where you can watch a ton of great movies for the mere price of withstanding a few commercials!
I'm taking back every derogatory thing I've ever said about Paramount Pictures and officially forgiving them for not always treating the FRIDAY THE 13TH franchise like the invaluable contribution to world of cinema it obviously is. Their new channel is the coolest and here's hoping other folks are kind enough to follow suit.
As a lifelong movie lover who has shelled out every extra dollar that ever came my way to the industry, I'm getting pretty tired of being treated like a thieving flea-ridden freeloader every time I should happen to catch something for free online. I'm much more likely to purchase a movie once I've seen, enjoyed or at least been made aware of it! Movie viewing begets more movie viewing says me and frankly, fans deserve to be thrown a bone once in a while. Good on you PARAMOUNT!
Anyway, from what I've heard, the films on the channel will change form time to time so make sure you watch stuff while it's there and that you check back for new titles. We'll try to keep you up to date around these parts and here's some currently available movies (links in titles) that I'd recommend….
THE SENDER (1982)
This personal favorite used to be rather difficult to track down. Now, you no longer have any excuse to not see it! Full review HERE.
THE LOVED ONES (2009)
I don't think we covered this one enough around here because I caught it rather late but I'm pretty sure this disturbing gem from Australia showed up on a couple of our reader's underrated lists. I'd certainly file it under "must see."
RUMPELSTILTSKIN (1995)
You'd think director Mark Jones had done enough for humanity by gifting the world with LEPRECHAUN (1993) but nope, he went one step further and dropped this hilarious bad boy on our laps too. What a guy!
IN DREAMS (1999)
Sure it's all kinds of flawed and nonsensical and it may be the only film in existence not helped in any way by a ROBERT DOWNEY, JR. performance but it's fascinating nonetheless, and we all know director NEIL JORDAN rarely skimps on the arresting visuals.
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 (1986)
I admit that I find the second half of this flick kind of dull but the first half terrifies the living crap out of me, so it's all good. As a rule of thumb, you should just watch anything with the word "chainsaw" in the title anyway. Enjoy.
You forgot to mention Masters of the Universe, Ninja III: The Domination and Missing in Action.
Cousin WIL,
I didn’t know NINJA III: THE DOMINATION was on there too!!!
Highly recommended….

While we’re at it, I gotta give a shout out to APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH which is OOP on DVD….
Thanks Unk!
I finally got to see William Castle's train wreck of a movie SHANKS starring Marcel Marceau and the bratty witch from CROWHAVEN FARM. Still shaking my head in disbelief.
