“All cult really means is that something is popular that others didn’t expect to be popular. Some people get it. Others are assholes.”
— John Waters
We all have that one film. You know the one , perhaps its sitting dusty on a shelf somewhere or it’s in the back of your mind , it is your one day I will own a copy film. (shhhh Ours is Fortress). Maybe it is cheesy, maybe its low budget, maybe it was a massive flop when it was released. Or perhaps it made such a cultural impact it became its own phenomenon and promptly disappeared into obscurity.
One thing for certain you are part of a small, devoted fan base and the film maybe rarer than unicorn’s horn. The films have the prestige of being called Cult Classics and here is our ever-growing list of cult film reviews.

The Silver Hedgehog Rating:
A drive-in favorite, this sci-fi classic follows teenagers Steve and his best girl, Jane, as they try to protect their hometown from a gelatinous alien life form that engulfs everything it touches. The first to discover the substance and live to tell about it, Steve and Jane witness the blob destroying an elderly man, then it growing to a terrifying size. But no one else has seen the goo, and policeman Dave refuses to believe the kids without proof.
The Silver Hedgehog Rating:
