If you thought it was only studios like The Asylum who were cranking out giant sea creature flicks for Syfy you’d be completely wrong – Roger Corman and his New Horizon Pictures are still producing the kind of cheap and cheerful monster movies that Corman made his name with to this day. Only unlike The Asylum, Corman and co. don’t seem to want to keep to just giant monsters… Instead they’ve cross-bred their monsters as time has gone on – no longer are they satisfied with plain-old Supergator, their first giant creature flick; nope they’ve brought us the crazy combos of Dinoshark, Dinocroc (who took on Supergator in 2010), Piranhaconda; and their craziest giant killer creature combination, Sharktopus.

There have been all sorts of retellings and re-imaginations of Shakespeare’s immortal story of those two star-crossed lovers, such as the equally immortal musical West Side Story. But "Cristo Rey" might be the most intriguing version of "Romeo and Juliet" in quite a while. Set in Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, directed by Leticia Tonos Paniagua, and starring James Saintil, Akari Endo, and Yasser Michelén, the film is inspired and plays off the historical antagonisms and hatred between Dominicans and Haitians. In the film, the half brothers Janvier and Rudy, both from the same island, but from 2 different worlds, confront each...
