MOLD Is B-Movie Magic Made By B-Movie Stewards
Ah, the glorious 1980's! The home video market exploded - thanks in large part to the Grindhouse and B-movie exploitation of the mid-to-late 1970's - and audiences were won over with buckets and buckets of blood.

First of all, you have to go into this movie with the proper knowledge of what to expect. This is a lower-budget, tongue-in-cheek masterpiece that doesn't take itself very seriously. If you start watching MOLD with any other ideology in mind, you are probably not going to like it.

With that being said, this is one excellent movie that can take you on a helluva ride if you'll let it. The film pulls no punches when it comes to cheekiness,...
